Send an email to Steve at podfeetsteve@spamex.com if you want to contribute to show #200. Listen to the Podcast Once (58 min) Today is Sunday April 5th, 2009, and this is show number 198. Only two more shows till #200! It appears that Steve is cooking up something for show number 200, chat with him on twitter at twitter.com/spsheridan if you want to get involved! Easy Wi-fi for AT&T update Last week on the show I talked about a sweet iPhone application that removes all the drudgery out of connecting into the AT&T wireless network at Starbucks for free. I know, how spoiled am I? Well I told you it was free, but Reza left a comment on the blog. Here's what they said, "Easy Wifi for AT&T is now $0.99. You’re show does make a difference." Oh man, that's not what I wanted to see happen! Oh well, I would totally pay a buck for that application! Backups Backups Backups Ok, this is all Bart's fault, just so you know. He started it with all that "your backups to DVD aren't any good you know crud." So I had to find a better backup strategy for my home movies, which I did with DVD Imager. I know, I already told you all about that. But now that I had a tool to make disk images of my home made DVDs, now I needed a place to put them. Good news, I had salvaged a drive from an old enclosure that was irritating me (the power cable kept falling out in the middle of file transfers). I also had another drive from an enclosure that had actually failed but the drive was fine. So I'm good - I have two drives, just gotta pick up an enclosure or two. Office Depot is close by, and I know it's not your tech mecca or anything, but I had to be a little bit surprised when the guy helping me there did not know what an enclosure WAS, much less be able to find one. I decided to make the longer trek to Best Buy and while their supply was limited and they were overpriced, they did have a couple of enclosures and I wanted to stop procrastinating so I bought a really cool one called the RocketFish. It's a flaming red with fins on it! I think I paid around $60 for it but amazon has it for only $22. I like to support local brick and mortar stores but man, triple the price for instant gratification? Ok, so NOW I should be able to start the great backup adventure of 2009, right? Nope, I've still got one more bare drive, so I decided to go with monoprice.com to get a killer deal on an enclosure. They're rock bottom prices on cables, thought they might have a good deal. I found an IDE enclosure for only $14! w00t! Ordered that bad boy, got it in, and then realized that my last drive is a SATA drive! For those of you not versed in boring connector technology, older drives used these really thick, practically inflexible flat ribbon cables with this really annoying wide connector that hurt your little fingers to pull in and out. A few years back they started using SATA connectors, or Serial ATA. IDE is the same as PATA, which stands for Parallel ATA which is also referred to as plain old ATA. With me here? PATA=ATA=IDE=big annoying cable and connector. SATA is faster, thinner and easier to work with. So after that technical sidetrack, the bottom line was that my salvaged drive wouldn't work in the $14 IDE enclosure. So back over to Best Buy where I discovered it's really hard to find an IDE drive these days. Sigh. So I overpaid, I think it was $80 for a 500GB IDE drive.
