Another lazy day. Or so it would seem...
This morning I got to the office, checked the status on current projects, sent out a few emailies and proceeded to load up my saved game of Elder Scrolls: Oblvion.

That's right - I play games at the office. After all, doing what you want, when you want, where you want are a few of the luxuries in running your own business.

We have entered a new era of the internet. An era of infinite bandwidth! Now you can take advantage of Amazon's vast network of servers to allow your website to survive even the most extreme spikes in bandwidth. Here's a tutorial on how to to access S3 like an FTP server to host your bandwidth sucking media files (pictures, videos, mp3's, zips or any other type of file).

And in this article, I'll show you how you can integrate your existing website on any typical hosting platform to "tap in" to this infinite bandwidth supply and leverage the power of the Amazon S3 infrastructure.

Some bandwidth hogging articles have recently been posted to Nerd Business. A few readers have asked me, "are you crazy?" Indeed, hosting hundreds of wallpapers & thousands of icons for nerds across the globe may seem like bandwidth suicide.

And it certainly would be. If you were a dumbass. Hosting from any typical webhost means there are limitations on bandwidth. You can't just host a thousand images on one page and expect to be lollygaggin' as it hits the Digg front page.

Ubuntu would be neat to try, but for many of us, having to leave Windows and boot into a whole different operating system is a full day project.

So that's why I created this tutorial. So you don't have to leave Windows to try ubuntu. I'll be showing you how to setup a "virtual machine" inside Windows that will run Ubuntu inside a tidy little window. So you can launch it from the Start Bar. And have Ubuntu running in the background just like any other Windows program like the internet browser or your game of solitaire.

Here are 218 HD resolution wallpapers. Nerds like you and me have big ass screens so ALL of these wallpapers are available in high resolutions of at least 1900x1200. Plus, each one has been hand picked for quality, not quantity.

You're sitting in an airport lobby, having an orange juice and cranberry muffin, talking on your PDA - when suddenly you realize your laptop bag is no longer at your feet where you had placed it. It's gone. It has been stolen.

Worse yet, on this laptop is your company's accounting, client contact information, saved FTP connections, and very personal notes. And now some delinquent thug has all of it. F@#k!

This could have been easily prevented. Here's how.

You don't need to be a nerd to understand the concept behind making regular file backups. That's not what this article is about. This is about archiving your files. And how to do it the best way.

The goal is to be able to quickly reference a "master list" of all your files, including those which are spread out across a large collection of discs. So you can effectively locate files that you already have backed up.

Your brain is only so good at managing a project. You need to have key information organized. And by having a systematic order within an OpenOffice document you'll have a powerful source of perpetual inspiration, guidelines, and activities you can quickly use to engage yourself into the project. It's all about momentum and your path to success.

This is a rock solid process. It has been perfected after years of managing countless web projects. And I assure you it's very simple. You'll be able to implement this for your new & existing projects within minutes. And to allow you to harness this methodology to your greatest advantage I will break down every element in full detail.

This is beyond question the largest supply of free icons ever published in one article. With this exceedingly massive supply, your icon solutions for websites and Apps are pretty much endless! Ranging from file types to gadgets, Mac icons to Firefox orbs, RSS feeds and even race cars. Yes, even race cars.

And all of them are free. Plus, the the benefit for you is that they have all been carefully (and tediously) organized. Each set contains only the largest size available for it's particular icon (so we don't have 10 different duplicates for every size) and is labeled with the package name & a link to the author's site where you can check out more of their work.

This site just launched. Yes, this one, the one you are currently reading. Before launching Nerd Business I executed a number of tactics in an effort to most effectively leverage my site launch to gain traffic. And why not? You've just made a new site, so tell the world.

Take advantage of your site launch. By following the tactics I've summarized below you can amass loads of new site visitors. And hey, everyone likes a new site. You get a real sense of belonging when you can witness a site launch and are further inclined to check back again over the course of it's lifetime to watch it grow. Correspondingly, site launch traffic just may be the best type of people you want. So it is certainly worthwhile to maximize this window of opportunity.
