The move to cloud computing is part of a general movement called SaaS - software as a service. It essentially means that the old way of running your own infrastructure, buying software to install on local machines and having expensive contracts with data centres to host services are over. There are now thousands of companies who will do all of this in the cloud and just charge you a monthly fee. And if you want to stop using it, most will allow you to export the data to use somewhere else.
For those who run small businesses, or operate on more than one computer, I think the cloud will be really useful. It's something I've been aware of for the last few months but haven't started to realise its full potential yet.
It's also great if you want to share documents with others as it saves having to email them across - you (ot they) can update something wherever you are, save it and when you get back home, the updates will sync with your documents.
With more organisations offering more services and more people using it, cloud computing will really take off in 2012.
I've just got an iPad and have absolutely no idea what the cloud is all about! well, a bit more now I've read your article!!!!
This is a good summary of technology that will be the way forward for many of us who simply want full time, on the move access to our stuff

Proper Burial for Freedom~ Sacrifice to Osiris- Lord of the Dead 💀 This card knew my energy, knew my loss and my pain. Which is why its message is so deep and meaningful to me. Release all that no longer serves you, let go of the past and what is gone. Trust that Lord Osiris will take care and watch over. Tonight I did this ritual and incantation for a proper burial for my bearded dragon Mushu. He was like my baby, I thought we had many more years left with him. But unfortunately he left us early. I prayed to a candle to bless him and let Osiris take his soul to Rainbow Bridge. This is one of many losses this year. Death in a physical way, but also loss of those important. I’ve felt that I’ve lost everyone close to me which is hard to deal with. I can only ask for new hope and healing during these times. I ask for Goddess Isis, Lord Osiris and Horus to join me and help me in getting through these dark times. I have faith that I will heal. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #witchesofinstagram #tarot #oracle #tarotreading #oraclereading #osiris #isis #horus #lordofthedead #isisoracle #metaphysical #ancestors #beardeddragon #rip #letgo #challenge #grounding #holistic #healing #crystals #crystalhealing #protection #ritual #prayer #witch #eclectic #wicca #herbs #death #hope
”Palace in Graffiti” (Revised) Full post at joshovaswitness.com. So How did I come to Mexico City in the first place? Of course there's the obvious, orange faced lunatic reasons. The Pop plasticity, to fake altar calls of church or The Kardashians, the whole sham of American culture, rather society in general feels forced. The absurdity of waiting in line to receive your coffee, cast your vote, get your blessing from a shaman, a priest, a drink from a bartender. They’re all essentially the same thing. Eat, drunk, shoot, repeat. I could no longer abide America for so many reasons. The whole of society in general feels forced a lot of times. Does anyone else feel that way, too? I can’t be alone in that sentiment or general malaise and in the knowing that there is so much more! I could no longer abide America for so many reasons. It all still feels like a dream! Life lived in the throes of surreality, which is most often my own brand of reality. Give me dive bar or give me Breath. Room to expand and be my own brand of weird with other gonzo weirdos. Patent pending. I feel at one with the grit of realness. There are once great ancient palaces, Mayan and Aztec, walls smattered in splashed of beautiful graffiti. Splotches of green and blue, whole murals of a generations. The walls have come alive again. For the past two years my life has been calling me to live. To go and enjoy the splendors that this world has to offer. I guess once you get to the point of wanting to kill yourself because of your current life situations, jobs, oppressive conservatism, and vampiric best friends, it makes the setting forward a lot more appealing. I, am now, exactly who and where I want to be. ❤️🙏 . . . . . . . . #travel #writersofinstagram #explore #palace #eclectic #photooftheday #mexicocity #graffiti #graffitiart #blog #instagood #igers #architecture #saturday #lawofattraction #travelblogger #blogger #hermoso #philosophy #introspection #streetart #travelgram

(Palace in Graffiti- Part 2.) full post at joshovaswitness.com. Este ciudad tiene un ritimo. This city has a rhythm. That's what I remember thinking my first few days in Mexico City, back in May. As I am I writing this in Mexico Parque, I hear the sounds of some evening drums beating outward. The heart beat of the Earth personified and extending outward w/ fervent rhythm. With purpose and clarity. These are drums of calling. They are beating to our hearts, keep the pace they say. They are drums for the journey. The reason for so much inner turmoil stemmed from almost every part of my life in Texas. From the govt to the flat and monotonous landscape. The heat. The taxing job. The superficiality. The oppressive superiority of politicians, pompous Christians, family members, religious officials, people who have never even left the fucking country. I may come to tire of Mexico City and/or run out of $ before I publish my first book. But it’s the kindness, hospitality, incredible although disparate exchange rate, and every day is an adventure. But here in this complicated colonial city- I have not seen one fight or felt unsafe since once. There are police officers on every corner near the more affluent areas of town. Mexico City is alive and life is what keeps calling us all forward as a species, a planet, as a human being. I've seen people dying in small Texas and southern towns. Dimming down their own brilliance, to keep the peace for others. I did that too for a long time to make self-absorbed assholes happy. I’m so glad I broke free to be who I truly am. I am an air sign. I am not the lungs but I am the air that blows through them. The wind, my companion, my sign, my essence. It's time for an ancient and alive air to blow through me. I welcome it now. Bienviendo a Mexico. Bienviendo to the living. . . . . . . . #travel #writersofinstagram #explore #aztec #eclectic #photooftheday #mexicocity #firedance #fire #blog #instagood #igers #lawofattraction

↟ 📸: November 6th, 2018 ‣ ✏️: November 9th , 2018 ↟ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ I get so homesick for my Twilight lives sometimes that I actually can’t help but crying. It physically pains me. Its an aching in my chest that throbs and squeezes whenever I think about the fact that I can’t be fully present there. I feel so incomplete and strange in this body without having the ability to wholly switch to the others. It’s like an intense pull into the world but the moment I start to enter it, I’m shoved back and rejected and I’m forced to watch everything through a screen. I can’t break through. I can’t penetrate the screen so that I can completely immerse in and experience my own life. Can you imagine that? Not being able to even live your own life because your awareness is stuck somewhere else. Your consciousness is living multiple lives, but you can only completely grasp one of them. It’s heartbreaking. Hopefully one day I’ll learn how to transcend. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ #eclectic #enby #werewolf #transgender #pagan #spiritual #spoonie #invisablydisabled #dog #ftm #hippie #hufflepuff #lgbtq #bibliophile #vampire #nonbinary #earthspirit #alterhuman #biromantic #grayasexual #witch
