well i voted for external hard disk. I wouldn’t call my method as in “backup per se”. But this is what i do. The family computer is a linux box. it is mostly used for browsing and such. it has enough space. so what i did was turn it into a file server. it “automatically” broadcasts itself on the house network so my mac (the desktop that i personally use) can see it as “a mac server”. the mac then auto mounts the server as a volume using apple file protocol very time. so essentially it is a networked external hard disk. home movies, photos, etc. can then be viewed on the mac streamed from the linux box. i haven’t set up samba— but essentially the same technique can be used for windows-based desktops but instead of apple file protocol, the server can broadcast via windows file sharing.

***OFF-TOPIC***

Jhay, a million THANK YOUs for your participation in our seminar. We started really really late because of the projector (Dr. Papa was kind enough to lend us one after all that *********) Your discussion about blogging really rocks. They were glued. I was glued. After that, the party animals (ie the MC students) were like asking more about blogging. I cannot thank you enough. I wasn’t even able to speak with you more that morning what with the (*insert 6 seminar technical craps here). And I’m a sucker at hajimemashite’s.

Salamat po talaga nang marami!
