Saturday-Pentacle – Week 43 – 2017

Saturday-Pentacle, Week 43 Issue

“Saturday-Pentacle”

Product of the week –

Backblaze

After an accident with my laptop in past year, I was looking for a backup service which is professional quality and can continuously backup my data to a secure cloud instead of a physical drive. Why?

Two important factors –

1. Scalability – If you buy a physical backup hard drive, it has a limit and post that you need to buy a new physical hard drive.
2. Maintenance – If you buy a physical backup hard drive, you have to take care of it pretty much all the time and if you are travelling, it’s more pain in the neck.

With Backblaze’s professional level backup service you can forget to worry about the above two points. Now comes the price point which sold me in. It’s 5$ (320-350 Indian Rupees) per month and there is no limit to your data backup size. But the pricing is per computer. For example – If you have 1 windows pc it will be charged 5$ a month for unlimited data backup storage. However, if you also have a Mac, it will be charged a separate 5$ a month fee for unlimited data backup for this separate machine.

Just in case if I got you curious, you can go check out by clicking here or the Backblaze logo above.

My most popular Instagram post recently —

Basilica of BOM Jesus!
.
There is a BOM Jesus Church in Panjim, Goa’s as well but this Church in Daman has a strange attraction to it which makes me always going back to it, whenever I’m in Daman.
.
Sitting in a corner of Nani Daman, this enormous church appear to fit in a seemingly small area.
.
This time it was closed but we still prayed outside before heading back.

Article(s) I’m enjoying (and pondering) —

Why I Can’t Post On Time – This is funny that I can totally relate to this post, even though I’m not a perfectionist. But when I try to publish quality content I tend to lean towards perfection. Which eventually leads to your work/post never getting published.

Tim Urban’s writing on his ‘Wait But Why’ Blog always fascinates me. He is a perfectionist and in this post, he confesses his perfection and why his posts don’t come on time. Even if you are not a blogger but a creator or a normal human, still there are gems in this post to learn from.

It takes courage to talk about your vulnerabilities, but Tim totally kills with this piece. A Good read.

Quote I’m pondering on lately –

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”

Until Next Saturday!
