1 week after publicity started for All in One – System Rescue Toolkit…

About 1 week ago, Alan Henry of LifeHacker was the first person to test and publish an article about my All in One – System Rescue Toolkit.  Thanks again Alan!

Since then, I have lost count sometime during the week on the number of downloads around the 5,000 mark mid-week (3-5 TB of data transferred) since the toolkit is designed to spread itself through BitTorrent.  The toolkit has gone worldwide with way too many countries to list, I can’t even keep track of the shares, new articles, and forum posts anymore!

It has always been a mission of mine to make the world a better place through my work in technology.  Thank you all for your continuing support and helping me realize this mission!

LifeHacker features AiO-SRT, Server Overloaded!

My All in One – System Rescue Toolkit was featured on LifeHacker this weekend.  A very big thanks to Alan Henry for his review of my utility disc!

Since then, this website has been overloaded with requests and I am awaiting upgrades that should allow me to double the amount of traffic I can receive at any given moment.

The Google Drive direct download link has already hit its download limit for 24 hours, however the BitTorrent download is very healthy with a couple hundred seeders at the moment.

Thank you all for your interest and I hope that the website runs less sluggish as time goes on and the upgrades come into place.

Here is the excerpt and link to the LifeHacker article:

There’s no shortage of system rescue and repair discs you can download and keep handy for when your PC gives you problems, but this one, from reader Paul, is streamlined, simple, and has only a few effective tools on it (and no bloat!)

Laser Pointers Blind Pilots

Click here for a related CNN report on lasers blinding pilots

Laser pointers can be cool toys, but they also pose a serious blinding risk.  DO NOT SHINE THEM AT PEOPLE.  These videos show the view from a pilot’s perspective when someone shines the light at an airplane.  We put pilots in charge of transporting hundreds of people in an airplane safely to a destination, I am sure the last thing you want when you are on the plane is a blind pilot.

Educate anyone you know that has these laser pointers and uses them as a toy on this danger.  It is also apparently considered an attack on the airplane and leads to FBI arresting an individual in the next video.

Liz Marks Texting & Driving Story – YouTube

 

distraction.gov is a website setup by the US DOT using ad campaigns and educational resources to warn people about the dangers of texting and driving.  I think the public needs to be exposed more to the not so lucky cases as is the case with this girl who seems to barely manage escaping death.

I think that all too often we take the grittiness of life and death and hide it away that people just don’t have a clue about the reality of dangerous behaviors such as texting and driving.
