The Memolane Story

 

I've opened up my memolane account to share some of my public life via a timeline. Its kind of interesting. Friend me, if you are a friend.. that I know :), on memolane to see my full timeline.

I just received an e-mail from Clear Wireless which offers WiMax (4G) and 3G wireless access, in home with VOIP option as well as mobile. The prices look comparable to TimeWarner cables internet access with the benefit of having a wireless option. For me, it would be a wash in terms of savings, but I like the idea of having a choice and I like the idea of getting mobile Internet far cheaper than any else is offering. I wonder how reliable this service is in the Rochester, NY area? Any Rochester Clear customers care to comment?

Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com) won best Internet application and I can't agree more. I'm extremely impressed with how well this file sync'ing service works. Its a real life saver for people whose lives seem to be temporarily interrupted as they move from one computer to the next. Kidding aside. Its nice to leave work for the day knowing that the document I've been working on will be waiting for me at home on my desktop, laptop, and my iPhone. Its free for 2G of storage. I pay $50 a year for 50G. It blows Apples iDisk away. Apple is just barely keeping me as a Mobile Me customer. If they were smart they'd buy Dropbox for gobs of money.

Posterous (http://posterous.com) was in the same list, and I have to say this is the first blogging service that truly made blogging easy. The cost of entry is as simple as sending an e-mail.

Scanning the rest of the list, I'd highly recommend taking Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome) for a spin. It is the fastest browser I've ever seen. It would be my primary browser on my Mac if 1Password (http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password), Evernote (http://www.evernote.com/), and Xmarks (http://www.xmarks.com/) integration was there. I rely heavily on these apps and browser integration is a must.

Lastly, facebook (http://facebook.com). As if I even need to cite the link. It seems 2009 was the year of facebook. EVERYONE joined it and THAT is what made it worth my time - one place to communicate with my friends and family in an e-social setting.

Anyway, back to dropbox, congratulations and I look forward to new features this year!

How to enable SmartCache for your network

by Allison Rhodes on Dec 1st, 2009

A few weeks ago we made the decision that SmartCache, one of OpenDNS’s most significant DNS caching innovations, would be available for free to all of our 15 million users around the world, regardless of which version of the service you’re using. SmartCache keeps track of the last known good IPs for Web sites that are experiencing an authoritative DNS outage and hands them back instead of returning no answer. In many cases, the IPs associated with the web server or other services you are trying to reach work just fine and the Web site loads successfully. Without SmartCache, it’d feel like the site was down. So in effect, SmartCache makes Web sites that are down and unreachable for the rest of the Internet load for OpenDNS users.

In order to take advantage of SmartCache, you still need to take action and enable it on your network. Here’s how to do it:

1. Log in to your OpenDNS account.
2. Go to the Settings tab.
3. Select the network you want to enable SmartCache for.
4. Choose Advanced Settings.
5. Select “Enable SmartCache on this Network” at the top.

This is a great option. With all of its other great FREE features, OpenDNS rocks!
