Dropbox Followup

Dropbox App (Photo credit: Funkbreaks)

In my previous post about Dropbox, I said I would make comments about Dropbox.

I just wanted to say, so far I’m impressed how well it works, and it automatically uploads all my iPhone photos to a folder inside the Dropbox folder on my hard drive, and syncs them to the Dropbox cloud. That has got to be my most favorite feature so far.

I’ve always needed to backup all my photos, but never really found the time to setup a backup scheme… problem solved, I love it.

Now all I have to do is setup my wife with Dropbox, and get it to sync the photos from her phone, and share the two folders and we will be set in being able to get to each other’s photos.

If you are interested in signing up with Dropbox, please use this referral link and I will get a little extra space. Thanks

Dropbox – Received Referral Link

Well,

a few posts below I wrote about the Dropbox cloud drive service, and how I would ask on Google+ for referrals, but I never received a response from my G+ posting, but, +Jeff Gibbs posted his own referral link, and I signed up!

So, I will start using the Dropbox cloud drive for a few days or weeks, and then I will follow up with another post explaining what I think of Dropbox… in the mean time, feel free to sign up using my referral link so I can get extra space

Microsoft 6419A Class

Wow, this Microsoft 6419A class has a lot of good information in it, but I have to say, the class is only as good as your instructor.

My instructor, Terry Smith, here at New Horizons in Irving (Dallas), Texas,  is outstanding. He really knows his class material and is able to fine tune it to the students.

If you are working in the Server or Network Administration field and only have experience up to Server 2003 environments, and you are either planning to implement, or have implemented Server 2008, I would highly recommend taking this class, and not to downplay the abilities of any other instructor, but if you are lucky to get Terry Smith, you will learn a lot.

Microsoft has come a long way when it comes to servers and infrastructure, and just like Windows XP and Windows 7, with Server 2008 Microsoft has finally reached a major milestone of functionality.

Lotus Notes – Google – iPhone sync

I have always been frustrated with the disconnectedness of my Lotus Notes calendar at work and my personal calendar on my iPhone, but I have now found the solution:

This product runs on your work PC, and after some faily simple configuration, synchronizes my work calendar with my Google calendar and, it in turn syncs with my iPhone.

AWESOME!!!

Dell M6500 BSODs and lock-ups

My employer bought me a Dell Precision M6500 laptop so I can run VMware virtualization on the road, but the darn thing has be unreliable as heck, randomly locking up solid or BSOD‘ing.

I finally got tired of it and Googled the issue, and guess what I found?

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19336090.aspx?PageIndex=5

Apparently this is a known condition and there is no fix for it right now!!!

I sure hope they find a solution because I can’t effectively use this thing if it locks up or BSODs all the time…!
