A friend, well aquaintaince of mine I met at a work convention sent me this picture with the caption. “I showed my grandmother your pic from the show and she said you look like the prick who TP’d her house. She asked me to send you this pic.”

Well with the business I am in we have alot of data, over 5 TB of data. Thats alot of data to loose if your file servers decide to stop working. I have been looking around for data services that do backup and recovery. I was wanting something local where I could have a tech on site and I came across a few options. Right now I am looking at fastteks.com, their data recovery and backup services have got my interests peaked. Anyone have any comments onthem?
Well I have start looking for some VOIP and Web Conferencing solutions for my job. We are opening a satellite office out in California and we need the communications link between that office and our home office. I have been looking at WiredRed, their offerings for both services look to be very in depth. Their site gives a tremendous volume of information on both services. They layout how and what both services provide to businesses looking for voip and web conferencing. Wiredred gives you a full breakdown of all hardware and software requirements, and also gives you the ability to sign up for a free demo of their solutions. All in all I am impressed with the amount of information they provide on their websites and the details of each service.
Here is an interesting new auction site to check out, bidaroo.com. What makes this site interesting is the owner of this site recently beat cancer not any cancer but Ewing Sarcoma cancer, a great and inspiring thing! Because of this life changing event he created bidaroo.com, this site sells products, most brand new, for 80%-90% below retail value. Now here is the kicker, on auctions they make a profit, they donate 25% of that profit to the charity of your choice. Now if thats not a new and unique way to buy goods, I don’t know what is.
HardOCP.com has just release the latest pic of Nvidias new card along with the detailed specs.
GeForce 9800 GX2
- 1GB Frame Buffer
- Two PCBs
- Two 65nm GPUs Total

Looks to be an interesting card, too bad I won’t have the money to buy one as I am sure they will cost a hefty sum of money. This card will be replacing the 8800 Ultra and according to Nvidia it will be 30% faster. The proof is in the pudding so to speak, so I guess we will find out in late feb or March as thats the rumored release date.
