A Quick Pictorial Update…

Once again, I need to apologize for taking so long getting the next lesson done.

I got home from vacation a few days ago, but instead of getting back to work, I’ve been battling hard drive problems on my computer.

The good news is that I saved all my data… upgraded to some higher quality hard drives (WD VelociRaptors), and also improved my backup system (Now using Acronis True Image) to make it much easier if this ever happens again :-)

I’m now back to work… a new lesson will be posted soon. (And I’ll be catching up on approving and responding to comments on past lessons).

In the mean time, feel free to check out some of my vacation pics. We visited relatives in Maine and Florida. We were blessed with perfect weather in both places, and it was a great time with the family…

            Thanks for the pictures.

            In the past I have had hard drive problems also so I can empathize.

            I am kind of anal now about not having it happen again.

            I to use Acronis True Image and it is great. For my every day back up of data I use Genie Backup Manager Pro, I have found it easy to use for novice and very dependable. I back up to and external hard drive and a off site online service.

            Glad you are back!

                        Hi!You definitely have a beautiful family, but my favorite remains the little one, he is adorable.
                        At work, I am a little behind but I’ll be up-to-date soon. ( … I just cannot wait, and as soon as I get involved in other projects, I dedicate myself to them… I think, your technique to not be multitasking is working very well, I’ll do my best to adopt it! Promise… starting late September, now I have to finish what I am doing)
                        Regards and all the best Eric!

                          Overall, Nice pictures taken! I enjoy them.

                                  Hey Eric,

                                  Dang nice pictures man! Too cool! You one gifted dude. For real.

                                  I know you’re an artist as well, so naturally you have a keen eye to capture moments. Nicely done. You remind me of my daughter Rachel (17) who’s got this tremendous inclination toward art and now photography. I see the dance between the two here also. A sample: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1599&id=514067625

                                  All in all, I’m glad you had a great time with family. That’s what it’s all about isn’t it?

                                    Great Family,Great Pics, and a wonderful vacation too Brother Eric. Sorry to hear about your hard drive affliction, but you know what, you are covered in every direction because the WORD assures you in Ps.34:19 that “many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth him from them all”. Surely, your righteous cause will see you through every challenge yet to come. More so, I do believe you are going to be blessed with more of this wonderful times in the coming years just because of your GIVING SPIRIT. You will surely keep enjoying the fruits of your labor.
                                    Take care Brother, and continue to stay strong in HIM.

                                                      Hey Eric,
                                                      I’m just wondering. How can you promote something that says “you can legally steal customer leads and sales? Am I missing something here or what?

                                                        While I wouldn’t have written the headline like that…

                                                        It’s just intended to be a shocking headline… the product has nothing to do with stealing, and contains nothing unethical.

                                                        I totally agree about the great shots of your family but my favourite one is the one with the fishing rod and the bird.

                                                        To me this looks like one smart bird… he’s stuck his rod there and is thinking “ok fish, I’m ready”.

                                                        I live on the edge of a national park and have deer and other animals wandering around so I’m a bit of a nature person… so notwithstanding that you have a beautiful family… the bird did it for me.

                                                          yeah I like that one too. My uncle said the birds really do hang out by the fishermen to try to steal their bait fish, so they are smart ;-)

Spent summers in ME as a kid…Florida looks more fun than it was for me a week ago…it was so humid in Orlando I nearly melted. Luckily I was at a conference part of the week and the air conditioning saved me.
                                                                                  Nice fishin’ !

                                                                                          I use acronis for 2 /3 years now, great program.

                                                                                          Couple things:
                                                                                          Some hosting providers doesn’t aloud to do ftp backups (hostmonster) because since is unlimited hosting, they said you cannot use it for backups or video sharing or as a voip server…. bla bla bla, so the only option will be saving the .tib (acronis backup images)files on your hard drive. (or burning them every time you do a backup).

                                                                                          A week ago one of my sata drives (externals) died, taking a year or so in info (all the backups images)…. lesson learned. Now, I have two sata in a external case, in Raid, meaning they backup each other automaticly.

                                                                                          Take Care!

                                                                                          P.S. We love fishing too :)
