A couple of yars ago I made the big jump to installing Vista 64 on my main workstation. The main reason at the time was because I felt the time for 64 bit computing on windows had come, drivers were easier to find and I wanted to utilize my motherboard 8GB maximum capacity.

I was listening to the Leo Laporte Podcast the other day and he mentioned how happy he was with the Carbonite Online Backup service. Since I have been looking for a good online backup service when I got back home I checked them out and I decided to purchase it right there and then.
After all "Unlimited Online Backup" it's too good of an offer for less than $50 a year (after discount).
Since I have been having issues with some Hard Drives failing on me, and I am planning a major clean installation of Vista 64 on my main computer, I couldn't wait to put my music, movies and documents on a secure online storage. I almost lost my data once already when a "MyBook" WD Hard Drive almost failed. I can't risk a data loss. For $50 a year I certainly cannot justify NOT doing it.
And that's when the comedy of errors started.

Recentaly I started a new screencast about Joomla called 10 minute Joomla! Tips. It turned out to be quite the undertaking. Mostly I had a lot of problems choosing the right videoframe size, resolution, capture resolution, frame rate and hosting web sites (and I am still working on it). But that was not as hard as finding any good SEO tips for Video.

A long, long time ago, my very first computer was a Macintosh Plus with 284K of memory, no hard drive (and no second diskette slot, something I envied newer Macs owners for) and a 2 inch screen... almost.
Then, in the early 90's I dropped $5K on a shiny new Mac and until 2002 the Mac was my primary machine. However, due to my corporate webmaster position, I always had a dual machine set up. Slowly but surely, my PC took the place of my Mac and when I started working on my own, my newest box was a PC and most of my software licenses were for PC. It was only natural that my next computer would be a PC.

My Windows Vista machine recently "forgot " that when I type "localhost" in my browser it would really be a good idea if I could get to my XAMPP homepage.
I have recently switched users in windows and when I went to use my local Apache server to test a database trick I am working on, Firefox was unable to connect to the XAMPP home page.
