SAAS and other online free services - How to save your data remotely and access from anywhere?

The new model of software application development cannot ignore the methodology of SAAS that is beneficial for both the customers and companies. In SAAS method, you only pay for what you use, unlike buying the whole suite of applications in which you rarely use options other than a few. If you get MS Office as a SAAS app, you can pay for the Excel or Word and only for the time you use. Coming to the main point of this blog post, “How to save your data remotely and access from anywhere?” I remember the time around 10 years back when I bought my first PC.

We can change this behaviour by saving the image as Progressive (jpeg) or Interlaced (gif). We can achieve this using GIMP or there are lot of free image editing softwares out there. The Interlaced image will have a bit more size than normal image, but the user will have a better experience. Try loading the two images in different window and see the difference. The Interlaced image will first load the whole image, but the image will be blurred. This will get sharper and finally the clearer image will be displayed. In case of normal image, the section of image loaded will be sharp, but the whole image will not be loaded at once.

Sava CMS - first impression

I tried setting up SAVA CMS standard in my machine. The installation was very easy. Just gave the required setup mappings in the ColdFusion administrator and DataBase and the site was up.

Click on the item, you can see the implementation of Shadow box. The team have surely done a nice work in bringing SAVA CMS.
