I have been using Google docs for some time and haven’t had an issue ( as for as I know of ). But every now and then I wonder if someone is spying on my stuff in the cloud. Here was an interesting article about Cloud computing.
Some of the issues that IT folks need to focus on as they consider cloud computing include security, privacy, availability, and performance. Governance requires applying policies, access controls, monitoring, and auditing to corporate use of cloud services.
One of the trickiest aspects of cloud governance involves just where data is located when it’s in the cloud. As Fratto notes, it’s not unusual for software-as-a-service and other cloud vendors to store data on servers managed by another company. In effect, there can be two or more degrees of separation between your company and your company’s data.
A while ago, I tried google adsense for domains, but for some reason couldn’t get it working and didn’t get around to figuring out why. I was able to put the unused domain to work today and got some more MySQL and Wordpress experience out of the whole process. Got more Adsense represented in my name so a productive day overall. Spent most of my time plugging in a new Wordpress template recommended to me by Don over at Makovision. I liked it, came out nice and somewhat professional looking I think.
Recently I received an unsolicited request, nothing new here, I am sure we all get our fair share of spam style link requests. But at the time I’d been enjoying the spirits and decided to fire off a reply to see if there was a human on the other end. To my surprise there was another web guy with his hand on a half finished beer and a crackberry in the other. So today I decided to review his website and see what links make sense to add.
A very well done notepad template, truly near and dear to me since I use notepad for just about everything as it makes for a great lowest common denominator among programming projects.
Bryant has a whole other list of other usable free templates that are really pretty good, the Notepad version takes a really specific personality type though.
