Change in focus : domscode.com
Not a very interesting post, more a clarrification on the scope of the blog. I originally created the blog as a resource for .NET and iPhone development, but with work and family commitments its hard to extend my iPhone skills at the moment and rather than try and maintain a 50% split – I am now going to cover my major interests of web, mobile and games. For the record, I am not dropping iPhone development – I just don’t have as much time as I would like to devote to XCode/Objective C. Also, Whilst I have only really dappled in games development – its a major interest for me and the vast number of my tutorials are based on games, I think its fair to extend this focus. So what will change – in some ways not a lot, although I expect to extend the focus onto XNA development. Now XNA (Xbox, Windows Phone and Windows game development) is all .NET based anyway so thats not a hug change from present.

Nerd Dinner Perth – this thursday 3rd Feb
Great advice from that guru Hanselman
Another great article completely off the topic of learning iPhone and .NET development but really really important…
here are the big take homers:
“Conclusion
Have a backup strategy my friends. Not only that, but seriously, test your restores. Backups are great. I do them all the time. Backups always work. Restores fail all the time.
Backup some stuff to the cloud. I don’t care whose cloud, pick one. I used to use Mozy, now I use KeepVault because it backs up my Windows Home Server to the cloud, as well as my desktops.
Make local disk images to external hard drives. I have a 2TB external drive that I make weekly images to use Acronis TrueImage. Just in case everything goes bad.
If you are a presenter and traveler type like me, always be ready with a Virtual Machine on a USB Key or a Disk Image on a hard drive in case things go bad the night before a presentation.
You can make VHD (Virtual Hard Drive) images from physical disks for free with Disk2VHD if you’re really fancy and advanced … Friends. Stop. Go backup your machines. Then backup your spouse’s, girlfriend’s, boyfriend’s, parents, grandparents and Uncle Ronnie’s.”
From the Scott Hanselman’s blog
Happy backing up
