Mozy - free remote backup
I stumbled upon Mozy just before Christmas. It's a remote backup tool that encrypts and copies your files up to the Mozy server. I used to have a bunch of backup scripts to copy files between different computers in my house. But every time I changed something on the network I always forgot or was too lazy to keep the scripts current. Mozy is much easier to setup and is better because the backups are offsite in case something drastic happens at the house. Mozy has been really easy to setup on my PC, my Mom's, and Jessica's. I had one small issue on my laptop but their tech support was easy to reach via email and sent me a new version that fixed the problem.
The program seems to be really well behaved (doesn't suck up a bunch of resources), is easy to configure, and is free for up to 2 GB of data. Click any of the links to give Mozy a try. Clicking those links uses my referrer code and gets me an additional .25 GB for each active referral. Thanks!
Sorry David, no Mac version yet.

Daylight Savings Time Change - Windows Update
While I was looking for a Windows Update I noticed a non-critical update to keep Windows current with the upcoming DST changes this spring. Get this patch installed before March.
