Backblaze: Brainless Backup (INVITES!!)
If you had to build the simplest backup system possible, how would you do it?

Announcement 2: The Sequel
Previously on Tic Tech Toe: I said that I would be leaving for two weeks.
Lame movie jokes aside I should fill you in on the following:
- I’m not dead, literally or metaphorically.
- I’m now writing for MakeUseOf (Hopefully my first post will be published soon)
- Part of my lack of posting involved my war with WordPress.
- I’m Digg proof, thanks to WP-Cache and my great host NFSN (but don’t take my word for it, try it

Announcment
I picked the perfect time to be gone for two weeks (and by picked I mean am being forced). I’ll be gone for two weeks and so I won’t be able to post while I’m gone (don’t ask)! Please comment and spead the word about this blog and when I get back I’ll have a post that’ll knock your socks off!
