I have recently been looking for a secure way of backing up my development environment up onto external storage to reduce the risk of losing anything. I already have a RAID setup but you can never be too careful having lost data to catastrophic failure of hardware many times before.

After many searches I remembered a friend Stut (check out his blog STUT.NET) had told me about a new service that was geo-redundant and gave lots of different ways of accessing it (WebDAV, SSH, HTTPS, SFTP) to but name a few. I signed up for an account to sync up to 3GB of data and within a couple of hours got all the details and up and running. Compared with all the other services which make you use their own software which I basically don’t trust this is a breath of fresh air. If you need something similar check out WWW.RSYNC.NET

I have added a static CV style page ‘what I know’ (Simple PHP Blog is so easy!) This gives some info on my technical background. I decided to leave out the usual list of previous companies as now I am running my own I decided they are now irrelevant. Although I will make a quick mention to my beloved Argonaut Software of which I was one of the first employee’s.

The reason I mention it is that I recently discovered that an old friend has been working on some parts of the PS3 OS (ARTICLE) namely the ribbon you see on the main interface. Having just got my PS3 (Sony where are the good games??) it was nice to find out an old colleague had been working on it.
