Windows Live
Hello:
This morning I was up quite early as I couldn't regain my sleep, so instead of just talking about what I did last night, I took some photos, I will just share with you something that is quite awesome in my humble opinion.
I can't believe some people still get away with the excuse that they lost their flash drive hence they don't have their paper or they cannot deliver their due presentation just yet. If you are like me though you are really misplace those things all the time before they pop up after the due date. So what a lot of us do is we e-mail a copy to our inbox with the attached documents, but now there is something even better, it's called Microsoft Office Live Workspace Beta!
First rule for backing up online is, have a local back up! You never know when a server may go down. So this should always be your back up, not your main source, because you will need an internet connection to retrieve it.
Go get yourself a live ID, by signing up to hotmail.com, they will transfer to live for you if you all ready have a hotmail ID.
Then head to http://workspace.office.live.com/,
Once there you can load and download from the webpage, but you can also go to word by loading this little live office add on.
After you log from Word, then you can open all your files, isn't that awesome? You can also save directly to Workspaces from the word save button.
Well if you are forgetful like me I'm serious this is a great time saver.
You an use this for all the Microsoft Office programs, and then cool thing is you can upload many documents and store them there to be available from any computer.
Windows Live Mesh has just gone Beta it was an awesome techpreview, and while it is very similar to Workspace, the difference is you can store files beyond thos you can create in Office so photos, and whatever you can put into your 5GB skydrive. I don't know about you but I love this thing, and I haven't put more than 1MB on it, and like office you can share files, but this is more of a remote desktop application. I logged on to the laptop downstairs and it was pretty cool, but I'm not a great remote desktop fan. It is a P2P, and a remote access, virtual desktop app. If you want more storage you can always get your free Skydrive for 25GB and as long as you don't abuse it Microsoft will add more space as you need it. https://www.mesh.com/Welcome/Default.as
Windows Live Foldershare is now Windows Live Sync, I don't know much about this one, but if you are like me and like to have a clone of your desktop on the go then get this. You pretty much P2P your files and copy them from 1 computer to another, so everything is local. I think all of the above applications will sync to make something cohesive, they all pretty much do the same.
One last thing, if you are gonna upload to flickr, you can use Windows Live Gallery, it is so far the best or second best program I used for the site. I love the whole Live plataform, maybe the Windows on the cloud OS is closer than expected!
