Did anyone know that you can use TextMate to post directly to a blog? This just gets better and better.

Here’s the scoop. Everyone should be backing up their computer data regularly. It’s simply foolish not to. I was foolish for a very long time, but no more! My personal backup strategy is as follows: weekly backup to an external firewire drive; monthly backups of digital photos and movies to DVD (this in addition to the weekly external firewire backups); and daily backups to a GMail account. What, you say? Backup to GMail? Correct, I backup to a GMail account with a little application called “gDisk.” This excellent little application allows me to upload specific files to the GMail account of my choosing. Once the files are uploaded, I can access them anywhere I can access GMail.

I’ve updated Journler today from 1.1.6 to 2.0 and I’m loving the changed appearance and functionality. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the application, “Journler” is a fine program for recording thoughts digitally - either words, or images, or sound, or any combination thereof. Actually, this app does so much more than that. Bottom line, this is a great application and I’m going to donate money for it as soon as I get a chance. I wonder how much I should send to the developer. I’m not sure why I mention this at all, but I can’t help myself.
