The Big Blue

So what’s the big blue like? It’s big and it’s blue. This is the only description I can think of for the quick theme I whipped up in blogger. I hope you like it, it feels like a nice change from the red background.

Hi5 goes to the photographer of the photo, it’s really nice.

Nothing else to report on really of particular interest.

iDrive

yum9me later this week talked about backing up data and online storage solutions. After my hard drive wipe, I thought I’d try something a little differnt. I got a free account at iDrive, whic offers 2GB upload for free, which is plenty for me to upload my school work. The user interface is really nice and the upload speed is amazingly fast. It also does incremental backups to save time and bandwidth. The scheduler feature works excellently and even sends me an email once a backup is done. 

The only thing I do hate is the fact that you can’t change the colour of the little menu bar icon. Which is really annoying because I had a nice forest/tree theme going on. If you’re going to have something so out there, please allow people to change it, if not stay with the standard black icons. Speaking of which, here is my solution.

In finder goto /Applications/IDriveforMac/IDriveMonitor.app/Contents/Resources using the goto folder function in the go menu. Open up IDriveMenuIcon.tiff in your favorite image editor and change the colour or what not.
