In a previous blog I talked about free software. I want to take a moment to highlight some of the free software I use and love.

I do a lot of repetitive typing (typing the same thing over and over again) like answering a quote request or sending out licenses after a purchase and for this I use AutoHotKey to speed things up. I simply type 3-4 letters, hit the space bar and an entire phrase or paragraph is typed out in a second. It saves me a lot of time.

Why was I searching for a utility to automatically disable the wireless cards? Well one day in 2006 I was at a client site and they were starting to roll out wireless access points and we were setting up laptops to connect to the internal wireless access points. This client placed the wireless network on the same subnet as the LAN. So they soon started running out of IP Addresses because the docked laptops had a LAN and a wireless connection at the same time and both with its own IP Address. So we needed something to turn off the wireless when the laptop was docked and connected to the local ar ...
