How to backup blogger posts and comments automatically?I've seen scenarios where posts or databases in a blog get accidentally deleted or destroyed by hackers who get access to your blogger posts.

Is there a way to backup all your blogger posts safe so that it can be restored when needed?

YES, there is a blogger backup utility which can be used to backup your blogger posts into a single or multiple files from which your blogger posts/comments can be restored.

You may download this utility from http://bloggerbackup.codeplex.com

once you install this utility, run the utility. you need to login into your blogger utility using your credentials, once you are logged in you may select the your blog from a drop down list if you have multiple blogs associated with your blogger account.

Note:  This version of backup utility (v1.0.9.23 Beta)  hangs up at times while backing up the posts, just uncheck the 'Save Comments' check box and click on backup posts, a workaround for now.

Your blogger posts are now safe, Happy blogging !!!

Amazing 3d portal video from jason craft


Amazing 3d portal video from jason craft


Filmmaker Jason Craft has created a brilliant video, revolving around the iconic gun from the hit video game, Portal. The clip depicts the director's vision as to what will happen if the Portal gun actually existed. Reportedly, a lot of complex technologies including 3D tracking, seamless camera cuts, and 3D camera projection have gone into making this piece. For Jason, this was the most challenging project and his hard work reflects in the video.

 

I've heard that  a lot of Portal game fans thought that the gun featured in video is a physical object that can be purchased. However, Jason has cleared the air, saying that it has been created entirely using CGI(Computer Generated Imagery).


Here is the Video Link, Enjoy the fun with 3D.
