SanDisk’s New 32-GB Flash Drive – Liberation for the Blogger?

Posted by

I recently blogged about virtualization on a USB flash drive. Little did I realize that a portable flash drive of such dimensions as SanDisk’s new Flash Drive Hard Drive replacement would become available so soon and at a price that is almost affordable.

While the dimensions aren’t huge by hard disk standards, running an OS in such a space is certainly very feasible. I’m sitting here thinking of a Damn Small Linux running on a laptop without a CD. Now on that environment, you’ve cut out two large sources of power drain. I wonder how long you could get out of the batteries, then. Not to mention, the weight and physical size of the laptop could be much thinner, I think. Or perhaps an extra battery could replace the CD-Rom/DVD burner!

I know that there are people designing such systems even as we speak, but I think for the most part, they’d have to be homegrown efforts for the time being. Still, it would be awesome, if you could get your hands on such a machine or design one yourself. Could it be the perfect blogger’s tool?!

Digital Point Forums: A Great Resource for Bloggers

I recently joined Digital Point Forums, to find out what they had to offer in terms of advice, and opportunities. Though they are not specifically for bloggers, but for all manner of websites, this is a resource that is too good to miss.

You can find advice on SEO, Adsense, text links, websites, maintenance, etc. In fact, you can even buy and sell in their appropriate forums all manner of goodies, links, templates, content, and websites. There are also people selling services here.

As a resource, you have to check it out, if you want to grow your blog.

The Blogging Habit: Always a penny short and a day late!

Well, that should be the motto of this blog! I’m trying to set a regular posting schedule but it’s just not working at the moment. I’m sure you all have seen my erratic postings, some days 6 somedays 1. I don’t think that this is a good thing over the long run.

I should try to pace myself more and that will benefit readers as well as me. Also, I don’t have any spare postings, just lots of stubs! In other words, there are no spare postings that would allow me to schedule, say tomorrow’s, postings. I always seem to be posting yesterday’s posts! Aha!

So here is my action plan. Find a quiet time to do postings in the morning, every day.

  1. Write or finish two good postings for the blog.
  2. Create two new stubs for possible topics.
  3. Find two good postings to comment on.

I found that I am quite comfortable typing at about 8-9am when my other half isn’t awake yet.
