I live in earthquake country. In 1989 I'd just moved into the first apartment I ever owned instead of rented when Loma Prieta struck, knocking down great chunks of plaster from our walls and instilling in me a healthy respect for the power of faults.
This has also made me religious about data backup, and I have recently been hunting for the best deal in offsite backup. GMail is okay for the occasional file but not spacious enough to be a full solution. There are all sorts of commercial services around, but the pricing tends to get awfully steep once you factor in the size of many years' archives and lots of music files.
Jungle Disk, an open source front end to Amazon's S3 service, looks like a pretty good deal, though. (Thanks, Metafilter!) Is anyone using it? I'm going to test-drive it soon and will report on my experience.
