Lifehack: Share files using the AllPeers Firefox Extension

AllPeers allows you to share your files privately and securely and with who you choose.  AllPeers is part of a new breed of P2P file sharing where you can specify who can access your shared content. 

Since AllPeers is a Firefox extension the set up is a very easy.  Once it is installed all that is required is that you create an account using a valid email address.

Once you're set up you can add contact either by their AllPeers username or email address.

Lifehack: All-in-One Sidebar Firefox Extension

This is a cool Firefox Extension that adds a side bar to the browser. This is handy because instead or creating a new toolbar at the top of the browser it puts it on the side thus saving vertical browsing space.

"All-in-One Sidebar (AiOS)is a sidebar control, inspired by Opera's. Click on the left edge of your browser window to open the sidebar and get easy access to all your panels. It lets you quickly switch between sidebar panels, view dialog windows such as downloads, extensions, and more in the sidebar, or view source or websites in the sidebar. It includes a slide-out button and a toolbar, all of which can be extensively customized."

Lifehack - Use Logmein.com to Access Your PC At Home

Logmein provides Remote Desktop Connections for  pc's running Windows XP Home (or Pro) through a firewall/router using a Firefox plugin.  Sweet.  I have this set up on my 3 pc's at home which I can now access from my computer at work. 

This solves my longtime problem of accessing my music at home from work.  Now I remote desktop into my home pc and grab some music and upload it to Vox (or esnips or box.net) and then I've got my music.
