Geek Tip: Share Big Files With File Dropper
If you need to send a large file and want an alternative to YouSendIt (which I find great, too!), check out File Dropper.
They claim it's the "simplest file-hosting website ever" and I must admit, it's pretty easy. All you have to do is upload your file (it can be up to 5GB) and send the url you generate to whoever you want to share the file with.
Geek Tip: Simple and Free Sites For Storing and Sharing Files
In my line of work, there are a lot of photos and videos being passed around, which can take a painfully long time to email in Entourage (or any other email client for that matter). To make things easier on my co-workers, and my patience, I rely on file-sharing websites. Here are some of my favorite services for sharing files for free or a minimum fee.
Room Therapy: Metal Accordion File Holder
Dear Casa,
Can you ask your readers for help? I saw a metal accordion-style file holder in a magazine in the last few weeks. I can't find the magazine and I am trying to buy something similar for my office.
Gillian and David Still Want To Believe
The X Files: I Want To Believe premiered in London's Leicester Square last night, with the lovely and rather pregnant Gillian Anderson saying it was a bigger turnout than the LA premiere. She also said that they were on board for another movie if this one does well, and said this film is more of a "particular creepy story", which also develops Mulder and Scully's relationship rather than an all-out special effects blockbuster like the movie that's overshadowing everything at the moment: The Dark Knight.
Other stars in attendance included Tom Fletcher and Harry Judd from McFly who are still looking a little tanned after our jaunt to T4 On The Beach, Sam and Amanda Marchant, Chanelle Hayes and a very demure looking Mary Elizabeth Winstead who I have an exclusive interview with for you later on today!
Steal of the Day: West Elm Wide Two-Drawer File Cabinet
The key to a stylish home office is finding furniture that doesn't look too severe. The only thing severe about this West Elm Wide Two-Drawer File Cabinet (below left) is that it's severely stylish and severely on sale: $200, reduced from $430. It comes in darker chocolate finish or lighter acorn, and I love the way the "handles" at the top and bottom of the drawers look like a design element.
How To: Delete Temporary Internet Files
What exactly are Temporary Internet Files?
The Temporary Internet Files (or cache) folder contains Web page content that is stored on your hard disk for quick viewing. This cache permits Internet Explorer or MSN Explorer to download only the content that has changed since you last viewed a web page, instead of downloading all the content for a page every time it is displayed.
Cool Idea: File Table
It's hard to come by an attractive file cabinet. So, why not forgo them altogether? The Egg Collective File Table (inquire for price) is a white, powder-coated steel desk with a built-in file tray.
Most File Sharing Happens at Night
If you do most of your legally questionable (or totally legal and legit!) file sharing at night you're not alone. According to a recent article from the Times Online most file sharing — which commonly takes the form of downloading movies, music and TV shows via peer-to-peer programs like Limewire, BitTorrent and KaZaA — happens at night. In fact about eight million people are on file-sharing networks at any one time.
File This Under Nail Care
After discovering my first glass nail file, I've been hooked. Unlike emery boards, glass nail files never go dull; they need only a quick rinse under the tap to be good as new. My Sephora file is a grid of teeny, tiny upraised rough glass nodules.
An Easy Way to File Nails
I will be the first to admit that keeping my nails in tip-top (sorry, bad pun) shape is a difficult goal for me. A few years ago as I was doing a little shaping action of my own, my friend, who supplements her income by working as a part-time manicurist, laughed out loud. "It's called an emery board, not a saw," she said.
