No, I was not sleeping off Thanksgiving overindulgence instead of writing this backup reminder on Friday morning. I was just absorbed in completing my delayed-and-necessary reinstall before heading to work. I thought a late reminder would be better than none, and now that I'm finished with all but those last little tweaks that drag on for a week or two, I can pass on the backup-related lessons … [Read more...]
Do You Have a Backup Internet Connection? FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 10-26-07

Yesterday I received a copy of the 2nd edition of Steven Van Yoder’s book, Get Slightly Famous: Become a Celebrity in Your Field and Attract More Business with Less Effort.So why am I telling you this? Van Yoder interviewed me about the FileSlinger™ Backup Blog back in October of 2005, and there’s a very short section about it in the book (pages 186-7).
