CrashPlan – Backup Features

I've just discovered this excellent backup system: -- free for basic use -- lets you backup to a folder, another computer in your house, or a friend's computer (you cna be each other's off-site backup) -- all backups are fully encrypted -- does bitwise backup: only the parts of the file that have changed are added to the backup Lots more at the link above, and there are reviews here and here.

Great service: Feed2JS

Feed2JS offers the ability to display RSS feed items on your own website, and lets you customize the output in many ways. The Feed2JS server also serves as a feed cache, so that if you add a feed to one of your web pages, the feed itself won't be hit every time the page is loaded (that is rude to the feed host, and can place quite a load on the server providing the feed). And it goes one step better: the code, and instructions, for hosting your *own* Feed2JS server are freely available.

Big thanks to Alan Levine for bring this to life and making it available; and thanks to Modevia Web Services for hosting the site for him.
