briss breathes a new life into my SONY PRS-500
I have Sony PRS-500 reader which was purchased way back... (actually a second one, as the original one was accidentally dropped on the subway and never to be found again... sob)... I've used to read few epub books (fictions mostly) and I've enjoyed using it quite a bit as it was way easier on my eye than any other LCD displays.
Despite some of the quirks such as slow response from time to time I ... I've even modified it to display Korean fonts!... However, when it came to reading PDF books, it was bit of hit and miss as the layout was no always best formatted for the small 5" screen that it has... Then came briss. It cuts off unnecessary margins from the PDF pages so that the letters show up bigger (depends on original layout)... now I can read lot more books in PDF that were originally created for bigger screens!

Site Backup… Lesson learned…
backup, backup, backup!!!...
Really important and even talked about it in my previous post... but never did act on it... until now... well... I am now using automatic backup plugin to back up my db and I feel lot better... ! Automatic backup does wonders for your mental health.
Took me 2 hours to bring it backup from its sorry state ... but lesson well learned... no I'll never go without backup !!!
Now if I can only do the same for all of my computers ... 
Problem Step Recorder
Running Windows 7 or 2008 server? Do you need to create quick instruction sheet for end user? Well you can with MS Problem Step Recorder. It's originally intended for recreating end user error / problem. But it does nice screen capture of each mouse click and keyboard actions into nice MHTM format. Want to post it online? No problem, just open file in Word and then use it's save as option to save as regular HTML file to upload to your web server... Not as originally intended but good job MS!
