Just a quick update. Thanks to the folks at the Broadband Reports Security forum, I’ve fixed a minor bug with the Cookies IE2FF script. You can download the new version here: http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/programs.asp?Program=Cookies%20IE2FF

Thanks to everyone for responding to my survey. Moving into our new house has delayed me quite a bit, so I’m still going over the results. Hopefully, I’ll be able to make some decisions soon.



Meanwhile, I’ve got a new script. While testing Mozilla FireFox, I decided to write a script to copy my cookie settings (which sites are allowed to save cookies and which aren’t) from Internet Explorer to FireFox. I realized that other people might find this useful, so I figured that I’d release it to the general public. You can download it from here: http://www.jasons-toolbox.com/programs.asp?Program=Cookies%20IE2FF

You may have noticed that I’ve been a bit lax on Jason’s Toolbox. Unfortunately, Jason’s Toolbox is run in my free time and, due to recent developments in my life (the birth of my son, the purchase of my first house), I’ve had much less free time to spare.



Of course, I don’t want to just shut down Jason’s Toolbox and walk away so I’m looking into ways to remove some of the burden of development and support. This may involve some programs/services being discontinued. I’d appreciate it if you could answer the questions in this survey to help decide what goes and what stays.



(Anything that is discontinued will remain on line for archival purposes. I just won’t do any new development work on it and won’t support it anymore.)

Thanks in advance.

Just a quick update. I’ve found and fixed some bugs in Trust Setter’s installer and uninstaller (with the help of a bunch of great folks over at PCQandA and Broadband Reports’ Security Forum). If you haven’t had a problem installing or uninstalling Trust Setter, you don’t need to upgrade. Otherwise, go to the Programs page to download the new version.

It has been quite awhile since I’ve posted an update, so there’s a lot to catch up on. First of all, when I last posted my wife and I were expecting our first child. I’m proud to (belatedly) announce that on August 17th, Noah Harrison Levine was born. He came into this world weighing 7lbs 10oz and measuring about 20 inches. Now, at five months old, he’s much heavier and is a very happy baby boy. (Well, except when his teething is bothering him. Or when he’s overtired. Or hungry. ) Here’s a photo of him. As you might guess, having a baby has left me with very little free time.



The other big news is that Jason’s Toolbox has had a facelift. Along with the new look are some new features, such as an RSS newsfeed for updates. For those of you who don’t know what RSS feeds are, they are a means of subscribing to get content from a website without any worries about spam. The content is downloaded by a program called an Aggregator. Since control of the subscription is entirely in your hands, you will never see any content that you didn’t actually choose to see. You can also choose to stop getting the content at any time. Click on RSS Feed for more information.



There is one last item to report. After quite a lot of work, I’m pleased to introduce Trust Setter 2.0. One of the major changes to Trust Setter is that it is now a HTA application. Just like with HTABackup, Trust Setter can now support advanced functionality by using a HTML-based interface. See the new Trust Setter page (located under Programs) for more information on the changes.
