Deleting carbonite.log file

Are you using a online backup service like Carbonite? If not you should be, for $55 a year for unlimited backup you can not go wrong. But if you are using Carbonite you might find you are losing space on your hard drive in this directory "ProgramData\Carbonite\Carbonite Backup", caused by this file, carbonite.log. We currently have a log file on one of our workstations that is reaching 110GB! Guess what, this file is as described, it is a log file, stop the Carbonite service, delete the file, restart your workstation and Carbonite will create a new log file in its place that will be much smaller than the previous file.



The only downfall to doing this from our research is that if for some reason you are having issues with the Carbonite service they may request access to this file to find out what is causing your problems.

Danger On Facebook With Geo Tagged Photos

We have seen many posts here over the past few weeks about infosec and the risk of tracking someone using the geotag info in photos taken with smart phones with geotagging enabled and with cameras with geotagging enabled.
I would like to put you at a little ease with this information, Facebook strips this data from your photos as they are uploaded so the location in which the photo was taken is no longer available on your picture on Facebook.

We have a few more tests to run but as of right now you are safe to post your geotagged pictures on facebook, but on another hand we can not confirm at this time that facebook does not still have access to this tagged info but rest assured the general public does not have access to it.

Mouse without Borders

If you have more than one workstation or servers and would like to control them with a single mouse and keyboard much like a hardware KVM, Mouse without Borders is for you. This is a free product from Microsoft that we have been using for about a week now and are in love with it. We have tried a handful of free and paid for software KVM and so far this was by far the easiest to set up, and has run flawlessly. At this point in time we highly recommend you try this software if you have a use for it, we will keep you updated on this software if any issues arise. Mouse without Borders
