Microsoft acaba com o Live Spaces e migra usuários para o WordPress.com

Microsoft acaba com o Live Spaces e migra usuários para o WordPress.com: "
A família de produtos Windows Live tem produtos muito bons, mas o Spaces, definitivamente, não é um deles. Esse serviço de blog é bastante limitado quando comparado com outras soluções, apesar de contar com cerca de 30 milhões de usuários. Talvez seja esse o motivo que fez a Microsoft anunciar hoje que o Spaces deixará de existir da forma que está e que todas as contas cadastradas no serviço serão migradas para o WordPress.com.

Windows Live + WordPress.com

Na verdade, a migração não será obrigatória. A Microsoft dará seis meses para que o usuário possa decidir. As demais opções são a de eliminar completamente o conteúdo até então existente no Spaces ou fazer download de uma cópia completa desse material.

Caso o usuário opte por migrar, todos os seus posts serão transferidos e o endereço anterior no Spaces será redirecionado automaticamente para o novo em WordPress.com. Em breve, todas as pessoas que tentarem criar uma conta no Spaces verão uma tela para fazê-lo na nova casa.

Para deixar os novos usuários mais à vontade, o WordPress.com passou a ter suporte ao Messenger Connect, recurso que permite a divulgação automática de atualizações do blog entre os contatos do Windows Live Messenger.

É possível ler uma mensagem de boas-vindas no blog do WordPress.com.

Favigen, Favicon Generator : " Favicons are small icons that help identify websites. They are used as a visual representation of a website both in the web browser and at many online services. The three most prominent locations of favicons are the browser’s address bar, the tabbar and the bookmarks folder. Many webmasters like to create custom favicons to add that custom identifier to their website. Favicons can be created in many image and icon editors, but also online. Favigen is a straightforward favicon generator that can turn an image into a favicon. All that it takes is to pick an image from the local hard drive first, select the dimensions of the favicon and click the submit button to make the service generate the favicon. Favigen supports several image formats, including jpg and png, and it does not seem to have size restrictions either. Available image dimensions range are 16×16, 32×32 and 64×64. The generated favicon is displayed directly on the page. A click on do...

A simple rsync script to back up your home directory

A simple rsync script to back up your home directory : " Backing up important data is obviously something we should all do. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to make it happen. We get lazy; we do not have the additional hardware for a backup server; it takes a long time and a lot of CDs to back up to optical media; we do not trust online backup services; backup schemes are difficult to set up and use — any of dozens of reasons can stand in our way. Still, we know we should be backing up our important data. Modern open source Unix-like operating systems offer a plethora of options for incredibly simple, effective backup schemes, however. If the problem is figuring out how to set one up, a simple rsync solution may be exactly what you need. The rsync utility is used to synchronize files between two systems. It does so by way of incremental copies, only copying from the source to the destination what has not already been copied there, saving time, network bandwidth, and syst...
