Mike Bowden — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 18:43:01 +0000

Synchronize Your Life, Work and Computers… Backups Too?

Mike Bowden — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:05:26 +0000

When I initially decided to write an article on how I've organized my life, it started out simple and straightforward. Touching on the basics of organizing personal, freelance and work life. From this I've branched out into multiple articles and in the end decided it would be best to write a series on the entire process I've gone through and frankly still going through.I'm going to start off with the most important aspect in my opinion and that's synchronization and backups. I'm adding backups into the mix simply because it goes hand and hand with syncing files. I've tried to explain as much as possibly and in detail how everything is setup, while not getting to long winded. Simply because I will be going into more detail about each application and/or service that I'll touch on below.Related posts:
