Outlook 2010 and 2013 - warning about changing location for mail delviery

When you have multiple email addresses, and using POP or IMAP, the trend in the newer Outlook is to create individual PST files for each email address. If you later decide you want email delivered to you "main Outlook Inbox, say in your main pst file, then when you change it be warned.  You are not just directing that future new email is to be delivered there.  But if you have the Advanced Setting for an accounting (in Account Settings) so that a certain number of days (14?) left up on the sever...when you set the new Inbox to receive email, Outlook will fetch the entire trove of server stored emails.

Microtik Throttling

Note - was using RB750

Main faq on queues and such
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=58168

Very good disussion, with an excellent attachment describing how-to.  (Make an address range, then mangle rules(s) to mark the traffic and make an action against the marks); then make a queue tree with 2 sub trees.
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=58168

There was a very good writeup in an attached pdf in the last post.

I will try to paste the content below:
(sorry no images)

Bandwidth Throttling on Mikrotik Routers
The idea here is to throttle a customer, specific host or IP address range to limit the throughput for this client. You can also limit separately inbound and outbound traffic, or simply assign a limit on in and out traffic together. We will explain both scenarios.

Limit Bandwidth based 512Kb for both in and out traffic from IP address range 192.168.1.0/24
1) First you need to put the address range in an address list shown bellow:
2) Now we need to setup the connection and packet markings mangle rules in the forward chain which we will use in the queues later-on:
a. You need to create 2 rules, 1st is the connection marking:
b. In the advanced tab, we need to select our Source Address list created above:
c. Lastly, in the Action tab, we mark theses connections:
d. The 2nd mangle rule is to mark the packets that are for the connections we created:
e. Now for the Action to mark the packets: (Make sure to un-check the Passthrough for this rule)
f. This is what your mangle rules should look like now. Note that I have put in comments in each mangle rule to better understand.

3) Now we need to setup the queues. Click on Queues
a. First we need to setup the Queue Type. In this exercise, I use PCQ whish is a Mikrotik specific queuing algorithm. In this queue, I limit the bandwidth in and out to 512kb. All other settings are left default, yet you should read on Limit and Total Limit and arrange these settings as per your requirement. You can check out a nice document at http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/US08/janism.pdf on page 26 and 27. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND this concept or else you can seriously degrade the performance of the router depending on how many users you have. Basically, if the Total Limit is 2000 and the limit is 50, with 40 users, you can fill up the queues and start dropping packets (this is serious when you deal with VoIP). For example, total_limit of 2000 is =<4 .2mb="" 10.5mb="" 5000="" br="" is="<" need="" or="" ram.="" so="" system="" to="" you="">understand this and factor in the Routers total memory. Below is how my queue type is setup.
b. Now in queue tree, we need to setup 2 entries, 1 will be the parent of the other. Let’s start with the main one: We put the parent out as Global out because we will limit both in and our to 512k. in order to do
diferent limits on in and out separately, you will need 2 sets of trees, one will be parent of the WAN interface (for upload limit) and the other on parent Local LAN interface (for download limit).
c. Now we setup the sub tree for the main tree above where we state what is the limit itself (queue type):
d. We have completed this setup. You can test with speedtest.net or using the mikrotik BTserver on Windows client and the router. Watch your router’s memory and your Limit and Total Limit and play with those if needed.

In the bellow example, we will do 2 separate queues, one for download and 1 for upload.
See following page…
Limit Bandwidth 512Kb download and 100Kb upload for traffic from IP address range 192.168.1.0/24
1) For the Address list and mangle, do section #1 and #2 above then come back here for the rest.
2) Now we need to setup 2 queue types for download and upload.
a. For download limit of 512k:
b. Now we need to do the queue type for upload and limit to 100k:
3) Now we need to do the separate Queue trees for both download and upload limits. Remember that download is to be applied on the LAN interface and upload on the WAN interface.
a. For the download: (Note the parent is ETH5 which is my LAN interface)
b. Now to setup the sub tree with the limit:
c. For the Upload: (Note the parent is ETH1 which is my WAN interface)
d. The sub tree for the upload:

You have now completed the setup of bandwidth throttling in 2 scenarios, hopefully one of these will be of use for you.
For a more detailed explanation and how to setup different queues based on multiple different client classes, you can read this document which is how I basically started :

Online Backups - a list of 17 unlimited ones

From
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/software-tools/tp/unlimited-online-backup.htm

Livedrive
Cyphertite
Nomadesk 
Bitcasa

Also, I would image Adrive and other such sites could be used.  Also ftp sites and hosting could be utilized.  For instance, get yourself an ftp site and use Syncback to sync files up there yourself.

Carbonite Restores

Not always obvious.  You can browse and restore 2 ways (below), and also a third kid of including in Explorer (right Click, Carbonite, choose whatever restore options, but ONLY for files)

1) Cabonite InfoCenter (the program on the pc)
Choose Browse Your Backup
  Note in the address area you will see on the left side "Backup Files > C:...."

This method: on files you can right click restore and then choose from some dates
Folders - no choice of date

OR
Login at the carbonite site
Choose Access Files
see list of files and folders, select files./folders and hit Download.  You will download a Zip file of the contents, for more than one file.
Note: no choice of date to restore.  Seems to be the most recent copy.

Verizon and Data Roaming (Iphone)

To avoid problems use "Airplane Mode" and not rely on turnign roaming (voice or data) off.

Was reading this discussion
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3939421

These articles say: Airplane mode turns off all radios, and yet you can still attach to wifi.  Also, if relying on 'roaming off' note when phone asleep and an app needs data (with no wife) it will use a cellular network. (Sheesh)

which pointed to THIS thread with the pertinent conditions
