Class Summary 7-16-2015

Talked about many things in today’s online session. I had a connection problem on my end so I was not seen by all but was able to talk and hear fine. Everyone else could see each other fine. Will try and have Skype up and running on my Chromebook for next week.

Talked about making an image backed and using the white paper I posted a couple of weeks ago. I also brought up using Mozy to backup to the cloud critical files. This way if your hard drive crashes you can restore from your last image and then use Mozy to restore the files changed since that backup. Use the code to get an additional .25gb of free space and it gives me .25gb additional as well. Thanks.

Faith talked about how much she likes to use TinyURL.com and Bob’s grandson mentioned that Google had a similar free service: http://goo.gl Google’s Tinyurl. Tiny also has a TinyPIC which you can use to upload a picture to and then use the URL of that picture to link to from others places like in an email instead of attaching the picture.

Here are the links that I brought up at the beginning of the session. Take a look at them online and let me know what was useful.
