Turkey Technology!
Thanksgiving is quickly approaching here in the states and my blog entry this week will focus on (albeit lightheartedly) turkey cooking technology! Prepare to add a high-tech twist, transcending some time-tested traditions!

Data Backup’s the easy way
I hear it all the time, my windows operating system crashed or my hard drive has failed and i absolutely need the information off it. Wouldn’t it be convenient if you had you’re data backed up on a regular basis and could just replace the hard drive or restore the operating system then restore your data immediately? Now I’ve talked about ways of doing this for free but those are usually limited on the amount of space your allowed to back up. Now I have found a site that downloads an applet to your computer and allows you to set up a schedule to back up your data for you.
Free CD burner for windows
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think I’m alone in the thinking that the cd burning software included with windows is one of the worst, if not plainly the worst cd composition software available to users today. It is severely lacking in features such as those that would allow you to copy a cd, design an audio cd with any normalization or track control, or even simply create an .iso image file. About the only thing it does do is allow you to burn some piece of data on to the physical media that we call cd’s or dvd’s. That’s why I’m happy to have found CDBurner XP.
Building Web Sites for Profit and Fun – Relying on Research
Researching to the internet savvy is like water to fish: we swim through and live in it. You can’t survive on the internet very long without learning the art of researching. And if you can’t figure that out, no article, course, or lecture will help. My purpose here is not to instruct on HOW to research, we know that well enough, but rather to RELY on the research obtained. In the world of web development, too often, egos become involved and overpower reason and research. A site that the target audience dislikes is worse than no site at all, despite what the designer feels about it. And so we look into the finer points of relying on our sought-out research.

FTC shuts down CyberSpy
We’ll tackle the news first – CyberSpy (don’t worry the link is dead) was ordered by the Federal Trade Commission so cease and desist the selling of its product, RemoteSpy. What’s RemoteSpy? RemoteSpy is a keylogger, which isn’t completely nasty (more on this argument after the jump) in and of itself, however; RemoteSpy could be disguised as something else and installed without the ‘targets’ real consent – thusly allowing someone to remotely monitor everything done on that machine (from credit card transactions, to banking info, to chat logs, to emails, to… well, everything) without you noticing a thing.
