Nelisa Lauren Mansilla supports FileZilla - the free ftp solution

I was looking for a good ftp solution for future online projects, and I was about to go to the old stand by ftp solutions like wsftp pro or cute ftp.  Here's the thing with those, both cost over $50 for a one year license.

Upon further research and testing, Nelisa Lauren Mansilla has made the choice to go with FileZilla.

It's fast.  It's easy to use.  It's free.

What more can a college student on a budget ask for?

Lauren Mansilla is counting on you to support FileZilla.  It's open source software distributed free.

Thanks FileZilla! 

Evernote app review why it just makes sense

I've been using Evernote on and off for the past couple of years. It seems that I'm always on the hunt for the perfect or the best note app, task list app, project management app, and I've finally come to the conclusion that Evernote is it. It is the best note app, hands down.

Why?

It can be used by just about anybody for anything when it comes to getting and staying organized. You just gotta want that in your life.

The cool thing about Evernote?

It's cross platform. I use it on my iPhone 4, on my iPad 2, my Evo 3D android phone, my desktop computers at work and my notebook computers. Changes I make on my Evernote are immediately available on all of my devices.

Another cool thing?

I can share a notebook with my management team and it gets us all on the same page. Updates they make or that I make on project notes or task lists are located in a cloud, all in one easy to access place that we all have access to on any of our devices.

No more loose papers? Way cool.

Pictures and the text or hand writing on the pictures become searchable. If I take notes on paper, index card, or napkin, I just take a picture of it with the camera on one of my mobile devices and it uploads to a new note in Evernote. The picture becomes searchable and is always available, so no more loose papers and wondering where that info went.

Take a picture of a product box or a sign, and that becomes searchable too.

Keeping everyone in sync with what's on my radar.

I created a shared notebook called MY RADAR and give all of my managers access to that notebook. Now they know exactly what's on my radar and what's important to me and what our focus needs to be, and we all are on the same page. It's not a mystery on what the focus needs to be that day or week. This results in a management team that is more aligned with my vision. They simply need to know what's on my radar.

Create as many notebooks as you need or want. It's up to you.

I have a daily journal notebook, a notebook for each important person I interface with, a daily task list notebook, upcoming projects notebook, etc.

Business receipts? Make a notebook for business receipts, take a picture of your receipt, and there it is. Safely in your Evernote.

Want to share a note? You can email the contents of a note directly from Evernote.

How do you use Evernote?

TG Daily - Firefox 3.1 beta 1: Damn, this thing is fast!

TG Daily - Firefox 3.1 beta 1: Damn, this thing is fast!.

First Look Review – Installing and running Firefox 3.1 beta 1 is a revealing experience. Just like Chrome reminded us a few weeks ago, the basics of a browser matter. While Microsoft is figuring out new proprietary features for Internet Explorer 8, Apple, Google and Chrome have been working on the browser foundation and made their software much more nimble. The speed improvements that have been made in less than a year are nothing short of amazing. We have been using Firefox 3.1 beta 1 for a day now and we have come to two conclusions: We refuse to go back to a previous version and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is in deep trouble.

TG Daily - IE8 Beta 2: Great new features, old annoyances

Link: TG Daily - IE8 Beta 2: Great new features, old annoyances.

First Look – Microsoft today released the second beta of its upcoming Internet Explorer 8 web browser with a boatload of new functionality over the first beta that made its debut in March of this year. The company highlights 50 features that address usability, security, compatibility, manageability and a couple tools that are unique to IE. The outcome is a browser which engineers clearly designed with innovation in mind. In some parts that works, in others it does not. Expect a browser that is vastly more complex than its predecessor and that offers a completely different browsing experience than Firefox.

Firefox is already plenty fast. In one test, it comes in just behind Safari in speed, but in this case, "slightly slower" still means "blazingly fast."

Thanks to Mozilla's pioneering work with TraceMonkey, however, Firefox is about to become even faster. Think massive performance boost.

Facebook’s story began back in 2004, when a website for Harvard University students was created. Since then, it has managed to bring together more than 90 million members, thus going past rival MySpace and becoming the biggest social network in the world.

Microsoft's Plan B for Search

The technology itself is difficult to develop. Though Google has hired some semantic search experts, the technology behind semantic search engines has been in development for the better part of a decade. "Microsoft's acquisition of Powerset makes perfect sense and is probably the best shot at a disruptive technology that might allow it to leapfrog Google," says Andrei Hagiu, assistant professor of strategy, focusing on technology, at Harvard Business School.

I really dig that term: Disruptive Technology.
