MVC

Posted on May 26th, 2009 in Uncategorized | Comments Off

I am learning MVC. Anything must be better that ASP.NET WebForms but when I went looking I did not realise how bad PHP and Python were. Ruby is cool but the support and platforms aren’t there (eg IIS/Windows).

Mozy Crashed

Posted on February 8th, 2009 in Uncategorized | Comments Off

I signed up for Mozy, Well I tried but it crashed when tried. Their tech support said I had to wait until Monday for them to fix the problem.

Here are a few steps that should help us resolve the problem:
1. I have already informed our Development team regarding this issue.
2. I would request you to try sign up for MozyHome Unlimited on Monday.By then the website issue should be rectified.

 

I’ll look for another service while I wait.

HP Upline

HP Upline sucks. The UI looks pretty but you must select files by extension and you cannot tell which extension you forgot about. Support is just people reading from a script:

 

We would like to inform you that there is no way of identifying a missed file type. Our kind recommendation for you is to prepare a list of every file name extension and then, you need to add them one at a time. Please make a note of all the software installed on your computer. From this list of software installed, you need to arrange a separate list of file types related to each software application installed on your PC. This will help you to locate the missed file type.

 

I am now trying Mozy.
