I think like most developers I have a problem…that is, whenever a problem of most any situation arises I mentally develop a software solution for it. That’s not to say that they are all brilliant designs, in fact, they are largely better left to die in the empty void that occupies the space between my ears. But recently, I’ve needed a way to keep track of the various passwords that I use on a day to day to basis and that is something that could might probably possibly be a candidate for using some software to create a better way. Certainly a better way than using the same password for everything.

Enter the jig (this jig, not the irish folk dance). What a great way to solve a small problem I have (and yes I know it has been solved before) without having to worry about the usual pressure of deployment and client requirements and all that other stuff that makes me carry a solution from 0 to 50% where it stagnates and eventually becomes that “great project that I wish I had more time for.” Anyway, I’ll keep you posted but I whipped out this little app in Flex and AIR in a couple hours to start me down this path of actually solving this little password issue that I’ve been having. It’s ugly, but most jigs are right?

I was going to call it swAIRwords but that seems kinda lame…although the possibilities for icons is almost limitless…
