Social Networking is Evolving

    In the beginning, people thought Myspace.com was the greatest idea to hit the internet, aside from p0rn. Then, there was Facebook, the attention-deprived little brother. A couple of years later, Facebook hit puberty; everybody wanted a Facebook account. Now a new kid shows up: Twitter.

    A lot of people say that social networking, like Myspace, is a fad. I have to disagree. We are witnessing evolution. Myspace was poorly written and could not handle the amount of users that it attracted. Facebook was the next step in the evolutionary chain. It is faster, better written, and has the capacity to handle user loads. Facebook gave us statuses and feed updates. Although the feed update feature was met with raised fists and pitch forks, people accepted it.

    Our system keeps evolving from slow clunky systems, to lean and mean networks like Twitter. Twitter will probably evolve into something stronger as our everyday lives change.

    Seagate Manager for Windows 7

    Maker: Seagate Technologies
    Software: Seagate Manager
    Version: 2.1.48
    Operating System: Windows 7 RC1

    I’ve installed the old version of Seagate Manager that came with the drive and it worked. I went ahead and did the auto update for the Seagate Manager. The latest version worked perfectly for Windows 7 RC1. I did a simple test to make sure it would backup and restore properly.I backed up a folder using the Seagate Manager software. The next step was to mimic real life so I deleted my files. Next, I did the “restore most recent version“. The Seagate Manager just restored the files I deleted to the external backup. It opened an explorer (my computer) window with the restored files location.  The restore option will have a message below telling you to drag-n-drop the files where you want it. So, from the little I did, 100% okay on my end. Read the rest of this entry »

    Review: Seagate Manager for Backups

    Installing

    The software was preloaded on my FreeAgent drive, so I figured I would take it for a test spin. This couldn’t be any worse the the Western Digital software that comes preloaded on the passports.

    Awesome Way To Rid Yourself of House Flies

    rescue

    The flies this year are unbearable. Mississippi summers usually vomit heat and insects all at once. My wife and I got a lot of pets since Daisey had her kittens. The cat food attracts lots of flies. I needed something to get rid of the flies so I’ve tried out this new product I found called “Rescue Disposable Fly Trap“.

    Review of Seagate FreeAgent | 1TB for Windows

    Opening the box…

    When I pulled the drive out of it’s packaging, one thing I noticed was the weight of the drive. I guess it’s just me but the heavier the product, the more material it’s made of, thus better made. I also noticed there was a 5-year limited warranty that comes with that drive, which is always comforting.
