What’s This All About?

Have you ever typed the perfect sentence or paragraph? A real moment of inspiration, never to be repeated! It may be into a word document, or a blog comment  webform or some other program -  and then disaster. A system or program or Internet malfunction results in these never to be remembered words disappearing in a puff of random electrons. Well if it hasn’t happened to you then it has certainly happened to me on more than one occasion.

The answer I found was to use a keylogger to record everything that was being typed. While not a perfect solution it has certainly saved some of my more important sentences, phrases and paragraphs from an early grave as well as saving my time and frustration

REFOG Free Keylogger is an excellent freeware program that has most of the functions you require for this type of use.

This forms part of my overall instant to long term backup and archiving system that uses a number of different freeware solutions  which include ”on the fly” backup of files as new documents or versions are saved through to long term backup of essential documents and information to NAS devices and online storage solutions.

This is a great example of using a utility that may be seen as only having uses for spying on others or trying to nefariously obtain passwords for a good use.
