Disposable Email Address

Tired of all those spam messages clogging your inbox? Well, the next time you sign up for a new Web site or have to download something that wants your email address, use a valid dummy email address. Yep, I said dummy. It is really an email address, but only a temporary one. You can even check it on line to see what kind of spam gets to it.

You do not have to sign of for anything or register or leave you good email address. Just use it.

Go to www.mailinator.com and see how it works. Put simply, any mail you sent to xxxx@mailinator.com can be accessed at www.xxxx.mailinator.com or by opening www.mailinator.com and typing in the xxxx email name.

You use whatever you want for the xxxx. However, I suggest an odd combination of letters and numbers or you may be sharing the inbox with somebody else. Not that you really care since this is a disposable address anyway!

Want to check it out? I just emailed this message to myblog@mailinator.com so head over to http://myblog.mailinator.com to read it.

Save a Web Page as a PDF

I know I can save a Web page as an MHT file in IE and open it again in IE. But I really don’t need it in that format. I really want to send the page and not the link to someone else so they can view it.

Enter PDFmyURL.com. You supply the URL and it sends you a PDF of the page. Quick and easy and the links work on the PDF side. And it is free.
