Google's blogging service (where this blog is) was out of commission for about 24 hours. Oh, you could read stuff, but you couldn't write new posts or comment on them. A post I uploaded yesterday morning has apparently gone into the Great Byte Bucket in the Sky.
This is sort of like "cloud computing", in that everything is on-line. It kind of sucks not to be able to do anything because you can't access your data.
Which might give you some second thoughts about using Goggle's new Chromebook. It would be a lot of fun to have an urgent project and be shut out of your files because of some glitch somewhere in California.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Yeah, it makes me a little nervous too. On the other hand, my own computer goes out to lunch on a regular basis due to some kind of malfunction. It's usually a virus, but one of these days it's liable to be hardware. So far, Google has been more reliable.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I also have an external hard drive connected via a USB port, and once a month I pull up last months blog posts and save the entire html page to it.
I think it extremely unlikely that my external hard drive AND Google will both flake out simultaneously.
More likely I will forget to save last months work. Actually, it's probably been a couple of months.
