  1. I’d like to address Ricardo’s backup issue. Something must be wrong with my SEO, because I’ve been blogging about backups for small and home offices since 2005, and apparently the FileSlinger Backup Blog never showed up in his searches.

    I’ve written a post just for Ricardo this morning over at http://www.fileslinger.com/blog/.

    As for the “death” of podcasting, I may need to record a report.
