My wife and I are preparing for a long overdue holiday vacation (holiday if you’re in the UK, vacation if you’re in the US). The one caveat is that as an online entrepreneur, I need daily access to the internet.
Whenever I travel, I make plenty sure that the location I travel to will have reliable and pervasive wireless internet access. I don’t care if I have to pay or piggyback, I just can’t get there and discover that there’s no internet service. Doesn’t work. The internet has become attached to my body like another organ. I simply can’t live without it.
So when my wife and I started planning for our next vacation we made WiFi access a priority. Where is the best, most relaxing location to go on vacation, where, at any moments notice, I can still hop on the net for about 2 hours each day? We considered Ireland and Italy at first, but quickly realized that in both of those countries you are traveling so much between cities that you can’t guarantee a consistent signal. Plus, the airfare is prohibitive. We prefer cheap holidays if you know what I mean. A vacation is supposed to ease your mind, not make you tense worrying about the bank account. All things considered, we calculated that a vacation in the Americas would be best. Just not the United States. We really need to get out of the country on this trip.
So, after much research and discussion we decided that our two vacation desiderata (steady WiFi and cost effective) would be best met by any number of 10 day Caribbean holidays. For one thing, the options are numerous. We could do an all-inclusive. We could do a cruise. What we discovered is that no matter what we choose to do, a Carribbean vacation saves us thousands of dollars on airfare and guaranteed WiFi connections. Unlike a European vacation (which we had initially preferred) a Caribean holiday is a more controlled holiday. And that’s really what we want out of our vacation: worry free beaches, blue seas, warm sun and (my favorite) sipping margaritas.
Mobility is of prime importance to “digital nomads” like you and me. After all, the very label implies that people who take to this kind of life are on the move continuously. The good thing about this kind of lifestyle is that we can take our work on the go, and never have to worry about being tied down to one place in order to make a living. Of course, it is not all glam. There are practical considerations that we have to look at as well.
If you are making your living via the Internet, you understand the importance of keeping your data in a safe and yet accessible place. After all, one of the most precious commodities today is information. If you have a web site or a blog, it is imperative that you take steps to ensure that your data is stored in a safe place. More so, the data must be easily accessible for you and your customers. In addition to this, you also have to make sure that you have back up in case something happens and you lose your working data.
There are many options available to address this issue. If backing up your data is all you need, then you might want to look at online services. There are free online services such as Mozy and Dropbox. If you need more services and features, you can opt to upgrade your account. If you have the cash and are willing to part with it, you can take a look at paid services such as iBackup, Carbonite, and Evault.
You can also take a look at web hosting, which is offered by countless global data center services. Don’t let the fear of losing your data stop you from letting your feet take you where you want to go. Take advantage of the services available and go your merry way.
This here is the future of gaming, folks. One day in the not-so-distant future, we’ll be playing games on our browsers – without any plugins of some sort.
Played Quake Live before? If you haven’t I suggest you do it – it’s an excellent port of Quake Arena with better graphics, and you play on your browser. However, it uses a plugin, so it’s not exactly the most optimal way to play games on your browser. Same goes for Flash-based games like Farmville.
So what if you can play Quake 2 on your browser – with no plug-in needed? All you need to do it woud be HTML 5 and WebGL. And Google has pulled it off, apparently. Check out the video demo:
They started off with Bytonic Software’s Jake2, a Java port of the open source Quake engine. From there, they re-compiled the engine using the Google Web Toolkit (also OSS), created a WebGL renderer to display the graphics, moved multiplayer communications from UDP to WebSockets (part of the HTML5 spec), and bolted on an emulated filesystem to allow game and preference saves.
However, I’ve looked for the download link in the Google Code page. I can’t find it anywhere. Read more…
Subcribers to Google’s beta channel can now play with a new beta of Google’s hot Chrome browser. Non subscribers will usually get the stable builds of these beta versions at a latter date.
So what should we expect from this beta? Well, first, it is going to be a faster browsing experience. Benchmarks show that a 30 percent increase in performance can be expected from the new build. The benchmarks used are the V8 and SunSpider benchmarks, this means you can expect significant speed boosts in running JavaScript.
The improvements do not end with faster performance though. Google has programmed Chrome to be smarter in prioritizing the loading of pages when a user opens a new web page while other pages are still loading.
Chrome’s New Tabs page has also been improved along with the unique Omnibox. The New Tabs page is now customizable. Users can now pin frequently visited sites in certain locations. The Omnibox now also includes icons next to the suggestions as a way of differentiating between a web site address or a bookmark. An additional aesthetic improvement is the addition of customizable themes.
If you want to try it for yourself now, subscribe to Google’s beta channel. But if you’re not a fan of unstable betas, then just wait for when Google officially releases it.
