Dropbox; online file sharing

by Brad Huss on October 29, 2009 in Web with No comments

Dropbox is software that syncs your files online and across your computers.

Put your files into your Dropbox on one computer, and they’ll be instantly available on any of your other computers that you’ve installed Dropbox on (Windows, Mac, and Linux too!) Because a copy of your files are stored on Dropbox‘s secure servers, you can also access them from any computer or mobile device using the Dropbox website.

Let’s say you’re editing a document at home. As soon as you click ‘Save’, Dropbox will sync this same file to all your other computers (and now your iPhone!) instantly and automatically. It’s as if you saved the document to all of your computers. This gives you the freedom to work on any of your computers and always have the files you need.

You can easily share entire folders or photo albums with Dropbox. Simply put the folders you want to share in your Dropbox, and invite people to them. You can also send people links to specific files within your Dropbox. This makes Dropbox perfect for team projects.

Every time you put a file in your Dropbox folder it is automatically backed up to our secure servers. If your computer has a melt-down your files are safe on Dropbox and can be restored at any time.

** By default you get 2 GB of online storage space for FREE. You can increase your online storage by encouraging others to adopt this program and install the software; once they have installed the software, you get 250 MB of space .. Over time, and with additional referrals, the space can add up. help me out and use my referral link. Thanks !!

Mobilize your website

Mobile Site PHP Script helps you to create a mobile version of a website. For the moment this script is specially created to detect iPhone. But in the next updates there will be support for other mobile devices.

With this script there is no need for you to create a subdomain for your mobile website. This script detects if the visitor is using a mobile device and then shows the right versions.

To implement this script on your website you only need to include one file in the index.php file of your website. This way it’s possible to use this on any kind of website: wordpress, joomla, drupal or just custom written.

Poladroid me!

Gotta hand to my pal and friend @adamsontv for kindly giving me a brief peek at The Almost video shoot that took place back 2 weeks ago. It was rough edit, but man – it is tight and definitely one that you will want to watch over and over again. @AaronRGillespie rocked the drums with Jay Vilardi on acoustic guitar.

That is not the point of this post .. might I introduce you to a new app that is pretty sweet and just downright cool.

Remember the days of the Polaroid cameras, and how it instantly developed before your eyes? Maybe it was not the best quality, but it clearly did the job and I know my parents have many a pictures of my childhood on Polaroid. Heck, you know it was pretty cool concept for the day if the group Outkast did a song; “Hey Ya!” and talked about shakin’ it .. Well, those are the days we, who grew up in that era, will always cherish and never be able to realize because Polaroid decided to pull the plug and discontinue Polaroid film last year. But, let that not stop the tech community and creators of Poladroid.

With Poladroid – you can instantly convert any digital image into a vintage Polaroid. It gives the nice effect of a realistic Polaroid and best part .. you can request a sample of the process at anytime to achieve that undeveloped look. Not all images are treated the same, and it just amazes me that we can now re-live the days of our youth and the days before digital cameras.

Here is a sample of my results: _MG_5042-pola
