What advantages do you get by logging into your Google account? Does it have web album space? I've never even considered that.
Man, if something this powerful were connected to flickr, I'd plotz.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Yes, Google photos. So with Picasa on the Macbook I should be able to upload directly into my Google Photos account. That's what I used to be able to do; I don't understand why it's having so much trouble with the account information now. I've restarted Picasa three times, and it cannot make the connection properly.
Maybe if I restart the computer...

Unrelatedly, I want to beef up my backup procedures. So far, it's ad hoc.
But I figure I might as well use Time Machine, since it's there, right? So I have a long list of network attached storage I can choose from for that. I also have a Linux box and an XP machine to back up--how should that inform my choice of storage device, and what are my automated backup choices (hopefully free!) for those? eta: As well as trying to automate/background backup of three OSes, I'm seeing that some of them provide DLNA streaming and remote access, which would be RAD.
Time to hit up bestbuy.com and read product descriptions. But I value Buffista quality recommendations.

Huh. Nifty. I just tried it, and it worked just fine. I hadn't realised Google gave me photo storage space. I need to check their terms of use.

Consuela,
you don't happen to have Google's new login system enabled do you? You have to generate a special password for some apps and software programs who want to log in to google for you.

I was just coming here to post that. I had to go back to the Google Authenticator page and generate a new password.
Solved, yay!

Insomnia-fueled searching has pointed me towards the Seagate Black Armor 220 2TB. Any warning flags?

Never mind, nothing to see here. Fixed.

So no one is using NAS backup? I wanted a 220 2TB because I thought that would cover the amount of storage I have, but I've just realised I have 1TB+ on one of my PCs. So, oops, up to the 4TB model, at least. And 220 not 110 because I want at least Raid 1. Is going for a 440 so I can get RAID 5 just overkill?
