Free 512GB Online Backup from BeeCloud
by laurin1 on Feb.13, 2012, under Blog
While looking for good free backup solution for my sister this weekend, I came across a fantastic deal. As a full-time I.T. solution guy, I have looked at a lot of online backup products over the last few years. I stumbled upon a new player in the game (maybe they are not new, but new to me) and I was shocked! Nothing I have seen comes close to the storage capacity / cost ratio of BeeCloud! Skeptical, I signed my sister up for the free 512GB account – THAT IS NOT A TYPO, yes, it’s free and yes, it’s 512GB (and unlimited computes can use that space.) But it doesn’t stop there; they have an unlimited backup for $29.99 A YEAR!!!! Wow. They have other plans with different features, but the for most people these two plans are more than enough.
Still skeptical, I downloaded and installed the software on my sister’s PC and it was a breeze. The software has one quirky thing to it, in that you can’t add directories on the right window panel, you must use the left one (took me few tries to figure that out.) Still, the quality seemed decent and the status window that popped up from the System Tray icon was very responsive and showed adequate information.
All in all, I can’t believe this deal. I currently use Carbonite, but I am going to test this one and might switch permanently if it works as well as it seems to. I recommend you give this a shot!!

Music To Code by….

Recently, I have come across a number of articles regarding the best (and even the worst) music to develop by (or even just to work by) and so I thought I’d throw my 2 cents in regarding the issue. Why you ask (my 1000′s and 1000′s of viewers)? Because it really is an important aspect of writing code.
Although, historically, I’ve been a huge fan of listening to my favorite kind of music, METAL, but more recently, I’ve found a really interesting niche of classical that seems to help me focus even more:
Entre` the Epic Soundtrack:
It’s uplifting and from time to time I feel like Matthew Broderick in Wargames programming the next doomsday machine (that just happens to start with Hello World!), and even if I am struggling to build a new 837 5010 generator using C#, it seems to keep my stress level a tad lower (as can be expected with a ridiculous amount of work to do and approaching deadlines.)
So, that’s my say on the subject. Nothing like compiling source code that works a stanza or two of the The Imperial March.
