Microsoft SyncToy 微軟出品的免費軟件﹐功能很簡單易用﹐將一個directory的檔案複制對另一個directory中。兩個directory可以在同一部電腦那不同硬碟上﹐亦可以在LAN網絡的一台電腦的shared directory上﹐基本上只要在Explorer看到寫到的directory就可以。配合Windows的Scheduler﹐就可以每天定時把檔案備份。這個軟件的唯一缺點是備份速度較慢﹐速度與用Explorer抄檔案差不多﹐不過若把Scheduler設定在深夜沒有人用電腦的時間﹐對日常運作的影響不大。
Power Folder
這個軟件有免費版與付費版﹐若在家中LAN網絡使用﹐免費版的功用已經十分足夠﹐只是沒有web interface同security加密。這個軟件是用Java寫成的﹐所以在所有OS也可以運作。這軟件採用Cilent-Server Model﹐即兩台電腦也要安裝並運行這個軟件。首先設定一台電腦當server並選擇想share的directory﹐在另一台電腦上則選擇當cilent﹐把server中的檔案定時覆製。備份速度比SyncToy快﹐亦可用透過Internet作備份﹐功能比SyncToy強大很多﹐檔案備份的首選軟件。
I have been planning renovating horace.org for a long time, but I never have time to carry out the project. Since I moved to the new hosting service, I have been using the stocked blogging software, which lacks certain features I like to have. My plan is to rebuilt my website using the wordpress infrastructure. I am going to implement the changes bit by bit over the following months, so it would affect the daily operation of my website.
The goal is to make my website more reader friendly and eye ball attractive. I want to attract more visitors come to my blog, so my articles will have more readers. In the internet, everyone can have 15 minutes of fame, I hope I can grasp my 15 minutes becoming on of the ranked blog in HK. Well, of course I will also have to improve my writing and find a niche market for my articles. For now, I will first focus on the technical aspect of the website.
The interface of my blog will include the following changes:
– Include a custom made artistic header on the top
– Using 3 column formats
– List of recent articles
– List of recent comments
– Index of articles sorted by categories
– Drop down menus for categories, about and library pages
– Plug-in to cross post blog entries to other blogging websites.
– Statistics
– Museum for horace.org version 1 to 3
