Tuesday was an interesting day for my (rather expensive) MacBook Pro. It was treated to its first cup of coffee, and got a blow dry to boot! Luckily it survived this whole experience, but even if it hadn’t I knew that all my data that is actually important to me was safe. Not just because I happened to have a back up from 48 hours before but because I had a backup from 2 seconds before Mac decided to drink coffee. How you may ask? Well its all thanks to Sugarsync.
It is well worth using these guys as they are price competitive and provide in my opinion a great service.
By the way if you decide to use or even try them then please let me know your email address so that I can refer you, as Sugarsync also reward you with more storage for references.
I work in IT, and have done for many years. Things come and go , crazes come and then jsut fade away again. Sometimes some of them stick and sometimes some of them are even useful. The newest one is all this social-neworking crap stuff. I must confess that I don’t really get it. This of course could simply be due to my limited metal capacity and a distinct lack on imagination, but there again…. Take Twitter for instance…. do we I really care about seeing millions of fatuous comments about people we don’t know and have no connection with , telling us about things that they are doing?
Now I am trying Brightkite.com, I want to see if I can think of a good reason for this. When I read their website I see that it could be used for instance let your friends find you.
But hang on a second this very site seems so happy to tell me I don’t have any friends!
Come on, if I wanted to be found I’d simply invite them to join me! And I sure as hell don’t want to be “found” by other people. The only really usefull thing I could think of this is for brief sexual encounters …. and as I’m happily shacked up already this seems to be rapidly ruling out any reason to keep my account open longer. However I will continue and see if some serious alchohol abuse this weekend manages to stimulate my imagination into finding a reason for this site.
