The lazy way to back up your computer | Flodesk

Three Neat Things

ISSUE 003 | FEBRUARY 2022

Hi friends!

Last week I was SO scatty in my approach to work - I am normally not the best at focusing on one thing at a time, but this was next level. Starting a new task before even finishing the first - I knew I was doing it, but I couldn't stop.

I just realised this newsletter has followed the same approach - three random things completely unrelated to each other. But I hope they're interesting and helpful regardless - enjoy!

I'm pumped to have joined CommsDeclare, along with 80+ organisations that have declared for the climate.

This means that my work will not support any activities, organisations or individuals that promote:⁠

• The growth of fossil fuels⁠

• High greenhouse gas pollution

• Deception, distraction or spin around science or climate actions⁠

• Single-use plastics, destruction of habitat, promotion of animal cruelty, or an adverse impact on people or the planet.⁠

If you're a communication, marketing, media, creative or advertising professional, then you can declare too.

Raise your hand if the computer you are currently working on isn't backed up in any shape or form? The good news is I have a really easy solution. It's not the whole solution by far, but it sure is better than nothing.

I already have a pretty rock solid backup plan for all my files and data, but an extra piece of arsenal I added this year is some software called Backblaze. It's not cloud backup like Dropbox, but it automatically backs up all your files on a particular computer - including documents, photos, music and email (if it is locally stored on your computer). Using the link below will give you one free month to test it out!

It's part escapism, food porn, and pure magic.

Filmmaker Warwick Thornton has chosen to try giving up life in the fast lane for a while, to go it alone and see if he can transform and heal his life.

Full of conceptually simplistic but ravishing images around a secluded beach shack at Jilirr, on the picturesque Dampier Peninsula – boots in the sand, crabs scurrying along the beach, an upright guitar rocking in the wind next to an open door.
