Hard disks fail. It’s only a matter of time. Backups are a pain in the ass. Finally I’ve found a great solution for this common computing problem. JungleDisk is a cross-platform application to backup your data off-site on Amazon’s S3 storage server cloud. This thing is fantastic, and the economics of the S3 backup service are good. Having your data off-site is essential because any catastrophe could take out your original data as well as your on-site backups. Even RAID is not a good solution because of the locality of the data.
While JungleDisk isn’t perfect, it’s a great start. It has built-in encryption to protect your data, you can backup and access your data as a drive letter disk. This tool is going to help me sleep better at night, and that’s a good thing. I heartily recommend this application and service.

I’m about to get a new fancy digital camera. I’d like to get a nice photo editing package to go with it. (OS X) Most Experts recommend Photoshop CS2. However at $695 this is actually more then the computer it’s going to run on. $695 is too much. I agree it’s the best product on the market, but that really is ridiculous when you consider their marginal cost on these is like $10-20. Too bad piccasa is Windows only. Gimp is too makeshifty. I heard good things about the new iPhoto, but I only have the old one with osx 10.3.9.
