Sometimes things converge. Then they usually fall on your head. So far this week’s convergence has not resulted in any injuries, but it may provide my readers some amusement and even be of some use.The first thing that happened was that I got 1) a blog comment and 2) a couple of e-mails from Nic Darling, “the marketing guy” at UniversePoint, the company that makes ION™ Monitored Backup, which I’ll … [Read more...]
Examining Backups: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 07-13-07

I’ve been a podcast junkie for about two years now, and am rarely seen without earbuds.
