Yahoo Briefcase is closing down

Today I got an email from Yahoo stating that they are closing down the Yahoo Briefcase services. If you also have a Yahoo Briefcase account, then the chances are that you also must this very email too. The excerpt of the email is as follows:
We will be officially closing Yahoo! Briefcase on March 30, 2009. Until then, we are offering you the opportunity to download your files back to your computer. You will need to take action before we close, after which any files remaining on Yahoo! Briefcase will be deleted and no longer accessible.
So people if you also have anything in your Yahoo Briefcase then better back it up. Else you might just loose you data. Oh yes, the hard part, downloading the data. You have to do it all manually. You've to download each and every of the files one by one. There is no function to download it all at once or to download the whole folder itself. So better start downloading.

I have learnt my lesson the hard way when Yahoo had previously closed its services Yahoo Photos. I'd been a lazy guy by not backing up my data, and so all was lost. Not this time ;)

Ciao.

Today I'm writing this post as a move to include open source article in this blog too. I was going through an online article and fortunately found quite an interesting site. You will also like it, I'm sure.

Cost – Free to download, available also at about $40 a month per user for a hosted version that comes with tech support.

I've been going though the alexa ranking of Nepalese site for quite some time. If you don't have an idea about the website then you can go to this website www.alexa.com. You can check the recent traffic activities of your site as well as compare it with other websites as well.

Nevertheless, I've been noticing one of the nepali website has been making it to the top 100 and today I saw it in #33. You can also check the alexa ranking for Nepalese website http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_sites?cc=NP&ts_mode=country&lang=none.

Just try to make a quite and sensible guess about this site. If you cannot here is a simple suggestion, even one of you might have recently visited it to check your time table schedule as well. Yes, it is the site of Nepal Electricity Authority. If you are also one of the lucky people staying in Nepal, then every now and then you might have just visited their website for a quick look at the time schedule of the load shedding of your home, your office or any other place as well. People who have access to the internet view this website to check the load shedding schedule in their area.


Enjoy visiting their website and be cautious. The loadshedding at your place might be in a few minutes ;)
