Imagine working on a special project or writing a document halfway when the monitor displays a blue screen. Imagine your computer not being able to detect the drive after restart. Both events are only 2 of the many that could happen to a hard disk at any time of the day. Imagine losing your system and not knowing how to rectify the issue at hand.

Which is why data recovery is important for business continuity and disaster recovery strategy. Which is where good data recovery services like DTI Data come in.

DTI Data has been on the hard drive recovery scene since 2006 1998, with a list of notable and satisfied past clients which include :

• Cisco
• Ford Motor Company
• Campbell’s Soup
• NASA
• United States Army
• United States Navy
• United States Air Force
• United States Marines

Currently, DTI Data has about 51 service areas scattered throughout the United States. Oh, and another surprising thing is that DTI Data’s expertise cover ANY hard drive repair imaginable. Whether if you are on a PC, Linux or Mac, DTI will save your data’s butt. DTI’s engineers are always involved with R&D to keep up to date with the most recent changes in hard drive technology. The R&D team usually develops new technology even prior to its appearance to the public eye.

Here are the 5 simple steps that a customer usually goes through.

Get a quotation.



Of course you will want to the price for the repairs. A smart person would want to compare the value of services offered by each competing company and a smart company would want to be as clear as possible about the value and price for the services offered. Both customer and company should be fully informed of the recovery process. DTI data’s online quote form is free and do not require any registration. For immediate assistance, there is always the 24 hourly available recovery hotline located at the bottom of the quote form.

Send out for recovery.



They have partners all over the US, which is quite convenient for customers to send in their hard drives. All service centres can be found here. However, there is also another option for sending out the drives for recovery, which is by mail. Just bubble wrap the hardware, print and fill up the order request form and send it to the address at the top of the form.

Diagnose.



DTI Data’s engineers will then take a look at the drive once it arrives. If the damage is irreparable, you pay nuts. They will send it back to you. DTI’s policy is ‘flat rate pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all your data recovery, free up till the moment your data is recovered’. Cool, isn’t it?

Recovery.



Once the green light is given, the engineers will work on recovering the lost data. Normal turn around time is between 2 to 5 days from the time the drive is received. DTI also owns a class 100 clean room for data recovery. A clean room is actually an environment, typically used in manufacturing or scientific research, that has a low level of environmental pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles and chemical vapors.

Get it back.



Upon completion, recovered data is then sent back to the customer. That’s it.

There is even an interesting data recovery blog that keeps readers informed of the types of data recovery solutions and tips related to data recovery. Do check out the testimonials of previous customers and read what they say. You can even contact them through their website to further evaluate the experience that they had with DTI Data.

PHP is a server side programming language designed to produce amazing dynamic web pages which :

• allows you to create dynamic html pages and files.
• can be used to authenticate logins to a site
• allows web owners to redirect pages
• keep counters
• allows you to personalize pages. For example, if I login to a site using my username and password, the PHP codes will then tell the server to generate a personal note that says ‘Welcome, Chris!’. So if another person logs in, the server will generate another personal page that says ‘Welcome, (username)!’.
• If you set up your own server you can use also PHP to allow people to download files from a certain folder and then log the ip address of the person that downloaded it. As long as the page saves or changes a file on the server, PHP will most likely be used.

There are plenty of PHP training courses out there that helps people to learn even faster. Open Technology Group is one fine example that provides the highest quality training at an affordable prices that includes post meet ups after classes. Their courses are taught by Zend certified PHP MySQL training instructors with over decade’s experience.

At the moment, they conduct classes on a monthly basis. The classes are carried out for a period of 5 days. If you live in the US and some other parts of Canada, airfare to North Carolina, accommodation, shuttle services and course materials are all included with the fee you pay.

Interested people are encouraged to submit a simple form or call them to ask about enrollment questions. They will even wire in a technical instructor to take calls, if needed. I believe that they have special pricing for government or educational bodies.

Aapka – Bollywood Videos is a totally free online service that allows you to watch and share videos with others. the kind of video content encouraged on the site are bollywood trailers, Indian tv shows and cricket videos. The current maximum size of a video is 100MB.

Clicking on a video preview image will bring users to the video page. From there, users can increase or decrease the video size.

Now here’s a web directory that has a new kind of concept that aims to showcase the best and most popular websites on the Internet. Sites are not ranked by traffic or Google PageRank but by the bid for placement dollars contributed to the listing. The obvious benefit from such a ranking system is getting indication of site’s traffic quality. It is an attraction point for advertisers to come and search for potential publishers.

Interested websites have only to pay a low one-time fee of USD$29.90. After that, anyone can add to the contribution to increase the ranking of a website. Note that listings are sorted by bid amount. If it’s high in ranking, it’s high in price.

Currently, there are 48 categories covered. From advertising to sports to travel and wedding, you can find it there. The top 10 sites are found at the front page, whereas the categories will show the top 20 of the page. If you can find a site over at BigWebLinks that you really enjoy surfing and have a dollar to spare, why not show some love and help promote it. I would, if only Blizzard Entertainment was in there. =P

Michael Pedone, who founded eTrafficJams.com in 2000 when he had successfully optimized his wife’s company’s website by increasing online traffic and significantly improving sales. The search engine optimization company is firm in implementing ethical, non-spam search engine optimization solutions to increase targeted website traffic. The company is among the Top 10 most requested profiles in SEO Consultants.

Why?

Because they provide quality ‘organic’ search results. The next question is..

What in the world is ‘organic’ search and how can it benefit a website?

When I first heard organic, I thought of plants and flowers. Is ‘organic’ search supposed to help me get ‘healthy’ visitors? Or is it supposed to prevent diseases?

None of the above.

Organic means a search that returns results by indexing pages based on content and keyword relevancy which is in contrast to listings ranked based on who paid the most money to appear at the top. Organic search results are ‘clean’ and uncontaminated with commercial payments or bids.

The 4 benefits that websites enjoy from organic traffic are :

Greater Click-throughs

Ultimately, organic search results will most likely yield greater click-through rates when all other things are equal. Therefore, it’s this type of listing that will maximize the traffic to websites whenever they climb to the top.

Power of Branding

Smaller companies can give the impression of big business importance by securing a better position in organic search than their larger rivals.

Greater Trust Equals Greater Conversions

On the whole, you should see more visitors from organic search converting to sales, assuming your rankings were for targeted, relevant keywords. In the business world, ROI, or Return On Investment, is king. Fortunately, organic search can give you the high ROI you’re looking for or your boss is demanding.

Organic is Free

A Web site with good quality content and links from third party sites is very useful in getting pages indexed or re-indexed quickly in search engines because it allows you to quickly test various page designs and to feed news and other time-sensitive content to the search engine as quickly as possible.

The main problem with organic traffic is time and nothing but time. Organic rankings are not automatic. You don’t pay and get listed highly. That’s where resources like eTrafficJams come in. They get the job done for you for a certain fee. Know the company better. Get personal with the CEO. Read some of his articles. Get yourself a SEO analysis or even get your site’s keywords analyzed all for free.

Get search engines to your side

I’ve just finished paying the loans for my car from my mum’s company. Although her boss was nice enough to sell off the 20 year old car that my mum has been riding to me, the condition was poor and I had to spend $500 on repairs alone. If I used online classifieds, I would’ve had a wider choice to select from. For those living in the US or Canada, try LemonFree.

Price of cars listed on LemonFree, the Used Cars For Sale portal, tend to be cheaper. Here, the basic searching would be the make or the brand of the vehicle you’re looking for. From there, you can start browsing through the listings for the year you want. Remember that most of the listings you will find are placed by private individuals not car dealers. The advantage would be getting a vehicle for a lower price. Sometimes, the condition of the vehicle is better as well. These vehicles are owned by private individuals. The downside would be, of course, there is no warranty. When you’ve found a car that you would like to purchase, bring your own trustworthy mechanic. This way, you’ll get to sort out the honest opinion of your mechanic on the condition of the car.

LemonFree has 7 search criterias that allows users to search through their auto classifieds with ease and accuracy. With just a few clicks of the mouse, users will save time and get the vehicles that match their wishes.

Make

Model

Year

Country

Province / State

Price

Mileage

I believe that the most attractive part of the internet is the free part. Anything free will attract people like honey to bees. Same goes to LemonFree. Visitors can also find reviews for 42 different types of car makes and 60 different articles that are of specific interest. For me, the most interesting article is on how to buy used cars. It tells on how much time and money is saved by using online classifieds.

If you’re on Windows, you’d be wondering ‘Why use RemotePC? Windows already has Microsoft Remote Dekstop’. Well, here are 2 main differences:

• For remote access outside the local network, Microsoft Remote Desktop requires a permanent IP address whereas RemotePC does not require static IP addresses.
• Microsoft Remote Desktop takes time, knowledge and patience to set up whereas RemotePC does it in a minute.

There is a notable feature about RemotePC called the ‘Desktop Sharing’ feature. It enables users to share their computer with multiple people. So everyone, including friends or colleagues may gather around the shared computer and have a productive online conference. It’s like watching a presentation from the comforts of home. Actually, users accessing the remote computer need not have a RemotePC account. Just a ‘Guest License’ and permission from the remote computer’s owner is all it needs for users to enjoy the benefits of RemotePC. Professionals especially the ones working in the line of health care and help desk technicians will find RemotePC highly useful.

Above is a screenshot of how the main dashboard looks like. Users get to list down their all their favourite stuff such as movies, sites, bookmarks or even science events that are interesting.

When an user signs in he/she will automatically enter the ‘Admin’ view. That’s where the user get an overview of the entire account. Other preferences like the photo album, private messages, skins, wish lists, reminders, friends’ list and groups are located here. They even have a button for users to block other users annoying to them.

What are the benefits of sharing?

By sharing knowledge and information, everyone helps each other. This act will certainly promote a healthy environment of growth.

Like for example, if bloggers hadn’t share their knowledge about things they write about in their blog, surely it doesn’t help either one of us. Imagine life without ProBlogger, the ultimate guide for bloggers of all walks. No one would have grown past the blogging-about-daily-lives stage into blogging as a full time job.

As the saying goes, ‘The purpose of relationships is not happiness, but transformation’.
