I\u2019m just back from TechEd 2014. I was drinking Microsoft Kool-Aid from the firehose for a week. I can summarize it in one word \u2013 \u201cCloud\u201d (capital \u201cC\u201d). This is an oversimplification, but that was the theme.<\/p>\n
I came home totally committed to testing the Microsoft Cloud. My original intent was to consolidate all my cloud services to one. I did a quick analysis, and focused on the \u2018top tier\u2019 providers \u2013 Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, and Google Drive. Based on my current \u2018investment\u2019, it came down to OneDrive and Google Drive and Google won for one reason \u2013 it seems that OneDrive has decided that random files need to be deleted. For no obvious reason I find files in the Recycle Bin on multiple computers. Most recently this was the PowerPoint and other docs I downloaded from TechEd.<\/p>\n
Right now, I\u2019m paying $1.99\/month for 100GB of Google Drive storage. This will tide me over until at least the Fall.<\/p>\n
Next project is migrating my web sites (including this blog) to a Virtual Private Server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
