SWCP's staff have many hidden talents. Beginning in December, Kurt Boucher, our DSL manager has volunteered to use some of his skills in broadcasting and film making to start up a new SWCP website feature, the SWCP-cast.
We'll bring you short podcasts on topics of interest. You'll be able to listen to them from the website or subscribe to them via an RSS feed. We have two shows so far. The first is an interview with Josh Gentry, our NOC manager, on our new backup service product, and the second is an interview with Bre Pettis, writer for Make Magazine and the History Channel's History Hacker . Hope you enjoy!

New Online Backup Service Offers Peace of Mind |
|
Computers make our home and work lives easier by putting the world at
our fingertips. As more bits of our lives are saved on our computers,
it’s more important than ever to safeguard the data they hold. We must
back up our files regularly. Like brushing one’s teeth, everyone’s
heard the lecture and knows it is important. For the dangers of not
doing so can be awfully serious, because everything on your computer is
at risk.
Everything means everything. That breakthrough novel you’ve been
polishing for the last ten years, those priceless family photos your
late Aunt Bessie let you scan and every single one ever snapped by your
digital camera. All your business spreadsheets and tax records. Your
digital music collection. Your saved email and address books. Even the
locations of your favorite websites, including all your online
accounts.
If something unfortunate happens, not only can your unique,
irreplaceable files be lost, you’ll be at a loss even to tell anyone
because all their email addresses will have disappeared, too.

It's so easy to get discouraged about spam. Even the most up-to- date filters seem to be almost useless sometimes. Spammers are constantly improving their tricks to slip their annoying ads through, disguised to make their messages enticing or at least harmless.
Nonetheless, there are a few simple tricks you can use to at least cut down on the flood, especially if you publish on the Web.
Spammers use programs called "webcrawlers" or "spiders"
that constantly patrol the Web. These programs are not all bad as many
search engines, such as Google, depend upon them, and there are ways of
trying to limit their access. But the spiders that spammers use
aggressively look for email addresses to gather. Any static public page
on which your email address appears can be fair game, unless you take
evasive steps.
