Writer’s Workshop: Keeping A Backup Copy

Doggie boy and the Computer

Blogging has been one of my passions since I started my first blog online back in 2004 when Monkey Boy was born.   It has been almost 9 years since I have been actively blogging. A lot has changed since I started off as a blogging newbie.

Back then I was blogging on the blogger platform before switching over to WordPress.com and now on this self hosted WordPress blog.

I have learned a lot since I made my 1st step into the world of blogging. I know now the importance of having a back up for the blog and also backups for the template and other in both my hard drive and also a copy stored in Dropbox. It would certainly save me the trouble of redoing everything from scratch when I had to move my blog from one server to another when I had to change hosting.

Nowadays everything is online and not in hard copy. It pays to be prudent and have a few back up copies in different places so in the case that the blog is attacked by virus or gets hacked.  I triple save everything now. – Hard disk, dropbox and via e-mail. I also do a photo book yearly so that we have a hard copy to look back on when the kids grow up

 

Do you keep a backup copy of your blog?

Are your copies online or offline?

Equity of Evil by Rudy A. Mazzocchi

book cover

 

Equity of Evil by Rudy A. Mazzocchi. is one of the rare thriller books which I have read this year. Just released in paperback version on the 15th of July this book is based on true facts about crime syndicates creating and harvesting organs for sale.

Many  renowned medical professionals were lured by a well paying new start up investment company which appeared to be providing the world with a safer alternative to back lane unlicensed abortion clinic. The business was providing the facility of a mobile abortion clinic for women in need around the world at an affordable price.

Founding Partner and venture captialist, Roman Citrano, had his world around him crashing down when he realized that he was just a pawn which the company manipulated as part of their human organs for transplantation. Unknowingly, prime, hyper-enriched organs are spawned from the aborted fetuses and grown like hydroponic vegetables.

His eyes were “opened” to the   deceit, rape, human trafficking and assassination when his beloved Andrea  becomes deeply  secretly uses one of his new abortion services to terminate her untimely pregnancy. She unwittingly gets entangled with the organization when she suffers complications after her aborted fetus, and whole uterus was  involuntarily removed from her.

When she disappears, his frantic search becomes a hellish nightmare that grows worse by the hour. He flew from Phil all the way to India in hope of finding her and was falsely led to belief that she had died.

My Thoughts

The story spans 42 chapters and brings the reader from USA to India and back with a plot that leaves you sitting on the edge of your seat as you read. Certain part of the book was quite heavy going for me with the gory description of the atrocities that took place.  You get really into the story and it was hard for me to put down the book once I started reading it.  I found it an excellent read.

If you are interested in reading this book you can purchase a copy from Amazon
