Online Backup Systems

Posted by Tim on August 28th, 2005

I’m really becoming interested in Online (read Internet) backup.

I have many pictures that I would hate to lose, and documents, tax stuff, etc.
I’m looking for a system that would cost around $50 a year for around 20 Gigabytes.
If you know of anything like this, please leave a comment.

Here is one I found.

How many writing errors have you been guilty of?

Posted by Tim on August 28th, 2005

Or should that have been, “Of how many writing errors have you been guilty?”

HA!

I love this site:

I especially like this:

“I found a word you criticized in the dictionary!

You will find certain words or phrases criticized here listed in dictionaries. Note carefully labels like dial. (dialectical), nonstandard, and obsolete before assuming that the dictionary is endorsing them. The primary job of a dictionary is to track how people actually use language. Dictionaries differ among themselves on how much guidance to usage they provide; but the goal of a usage guide like this is substantially different: to protect you against patterns which are regarded by substantial numbers of well-educated people as nonstandard.”
