I have been looking for backup software for my computer. I want something that I can back up the HDD and send it to a server, scheduling it as required. I found AllSync, but somehow it MOVED my backup files rather than copied them. This was not what I wanted. It was nothing important… Only MY DOCUMENTS, and my MYOB file. This is one program I WILL NOT BE USING AGAIN!

The PBS website has the latest installment of I, Cringely has a thought piece on Google and what it’s stratergy might be in regards to servers. He thinks that Google is working out how to put 5000 processors in a really small area [maybe even a shipping container] for placement in perring centres and major ISP’s. This will make Google at the centre of the Internet. The cost of doing this is not really all that high in the Google way of doing things.

And also on the Google side comes the competition over there called Doodle For Google. This was for 4-18 year old children, and the above link contains the five winning entries.
