Can you use the Internet to back up data?

Internet service is getting faster and cheaper ... but is it now fast and affordable enough to be used as your primary backup system? Backing up files to a USB external drive is different. By using USB 2.0, you can transfer files up to 480 Mbps - I will explain.

Transfer speed is measured in Mbps (Megabits per second). Using a 1 Mbps connection, you can send 125 kilobytes every second. This is not fast enough to receive streaming video in standard resolution. To receive HD (1080p) video streaming, you should have a 20 Mbps connection.

One 2 hour / 1 GB movie uploaded using a 5 Mbps broadband connection can take about 20 minutes or 1.5 hours with 1 Mbps speed. Given that a terabyte has 1,048,576 megabytes, if you could achieve the theoretical 60 Mbps transfer, you could do it in slightly over 4 hours and 45 minutes.

I am designing a system that allows people to back up a huge amount of data for safe storage. The key to this is speed and ease-of-use. The first step is to create a testing method for the file transfer rate. It is a challenging but interesting problem to solve.

New Hosting Service

Feb

YOURHOST NEO
Once upon a time there was a big gap between generations when it came to understanding digital technologies. It was called the “Digital Divide”. Since then, it appears that the division has shrunk. The fact is, the younger generation has grown older with more tech knowledge and with technologies becoming easier to use. So the gap seems to be smaller, but the fact is, you do not need to know as much about the tech anymore.

It is like when cars moved from manual transmission to automatic. It appeared that people were driving better, but in reality cars just became a whole lot easier to drive. Now cars are moving toward self driving... does that mean people are driving better? No, it just means that people are not in charge anymore. Instead of people using technology, people will become passengers.

When I design software and services, I want to make sure we can do as much as we can to free up your time but I always remember who is ultimately in charge. We try to make sure you make no mistakes but that you are free to try out anything. At the same time, when you become stuck, our customer support, and entire company for that matter, is behind you to help you get unstuck from any situation.

PSPinc is just releasing a new Web and Email Hosting Platform called YourHost Neo. This is like a 5 speed manual muscle car - how you drive it is up to you. It is pure muscle and no fat, I wish I could say that about myself.

Play in the Steering System

When you sit in your car and wiggle the steering wheel, there are a few degrees of movement that do not affect the direction of the wheels. This is called "Play". Without this, your car will react to every movement and send too much information from your wheel to your steering wheel. Thus, the car will be very difficult or sensitive to drive.

I believe the same thing applies to your business. You can try to control everything, which will make your management style very strict and sensitive. People need some amount of "Play" in their work. Though, as with your car, too much and things will easily become uncontrollable. There is a need for some "Play" but not too much.

As a Manager, you need to know how much "Play" you wish to have as it pertains to your management style. Never allow too much "Play" in your steering, it's all about having the right amount. Do you agree?

Feb

Did you know that you can set up or own Channel using YouTube?

We've all seen many different TV shows. Creating your own YouTube Channel is similar to making your own TV show for your business, and is an easy pathway to guide your viewers/customers to your Channel. Viewers are able "Follow" your Channel, and once they do, they will receive notification that there's a new video to the Channel.

Here is a step-by-step instruction on how to open your YouTube Channel.

Login to YouTube by using your Gmail account.

If on a PC, click on "MyChannel" on the left side navigation. If on YouTube app, click on your avatar on the top right, and select "MyChannel" from the dropdown menu.

Select "Customize Channel" to open your YouTube Channel. *Creator Studio is a great tool where you can manage your videos, add sound, see viewer analytics, broadcast live stream video, etc.

Update your banner image, and add Channel details from "About".

Once you have 100 followers, you will be able to create a unique URL for your Channel, and be able to better brand your Channel. After you create your Channel, make sure to let your co-worker/friends know and ask to follow. It will be the first step to becoming a YouTuber!

Love Hotel

The term “Love Hotel” refers to a type of hotel where you rent a room based on hours. It is a very common type of hotel in Japan. However, in the United States of America, there is no custom to rent a hotel room based on hours. In addition to the Love Hotels, there are not many “so-called” Capsule Hotels nor Saunas with sleeping rooms in the US. When I worked in Japan, if I had to stay late and I missed the last train, I used to go to the sauna and stay all night there.

I think there are needs for Love Hotels, Capsule Hotels and Saunas with sleeping facilities in the US. Especially when hotel prices are so high. I stayed a night at a Sauna because it was cheaper than a hotel and also cheaper than taking a taxi. They are also clean and quiet.

If I have the chance, I would like to bring these hotels to the US.
