The data storage prayer

On a lighter note. For those who follow or are involved with data storage religiously with a passion, then this is for you. As for others who do not get or understand what this is about, just ask those who are devout data storage followers.

Now I lay my data to sleep

I pray the lord my backups to keep

If a disk should die before I wake

I hope like heck RAID works and my resume is up to date

Nuff said, now get back to work or what ever it was you were doing before reading this and best wishes!

Cheers gs

Re: DropBox.com Re: DropBox.com - Hey Evan, I just started using their service very recently. I'm currently using their free 2GB storage option. I mainly got it to send large-sized files to other people, as sometimes uploading to my web host server can become problematic and not work. I searched around for online storage options and landed on their site. Works great and very easy to share files with others. I currently have a 1TB external drive I backup all of my computer data on. Maybe someday I'll consider online backup, just for added protection of my files.
Global discussion forums content storage - how to use it? Global discussion forums content storage - how to use it? - Imagine that I have a magic parser that can parse discussion forums like this one and save this data in a huge DB in a structured way. It means there will be tables: forum, subject, post, etc., populated with data from forums. So I will have a kind of global storage of structured forum data. Now the question is how can I use it? Is there a way to earn money on this? Here are some ideas: 1) a web site that allows users to browse information from hundreds of forums in one place in a unified way 2) set up a service that allows to subscribe updates from different forums at once. 3) just provide access to this database for other 3-d party companies or webmasters, SEO specialists.... will anyone need this? Most of all I am curious about the last options... What else? Thank you.
Storage online Storage online - In the future, everything will be online because everything will be connected. There will be no need to storage mediums as far as business and personal data is related. For music CDs, there is a drop in sales because of the ability to get the same music for free online... they still make a ton of money, the musicians still only get a fraction of the profit from CD sales, and their product is over-priced so I don't see this as a bad thing. Bands can start a My Space, get popular that way, sell their music in online stores while getting a decent cut, or sell their own CDs directly!

Franchised and looking to licensing Franchised and looking to licensing - I currently have a registered franchise that I have sold the prototype biz as my first franchisee, after a couple months I needed to do a name change due to mounting legal fees from fighting for a registered trademark. I am thinking of offering licensing instead of continuing the franchising due to insufficient funding, as you know legal fees and accounting fees associated with franchising is a issue and with only one franchisee buying product and paying royalties funding has become an issue that has me torn between converting to the less expensive expansion option of licensing. The product is patent pending PVC wall panels that are installed in residential garages, these panels were designed to interact with storage accessories that easily snap in and out of the wall panel creating a storage system that can be added to and re-arranges as the homeowners storage needs change. The concept is selling quite nicely. My thoughts are to use licensing as a means to move more product quickly by targeting successful home improvement companies to offer the product line. Moving more product would generate more capital to work with at which time maybe I would go back into the franchising model at some later time. The first issue that comes to mind is the one franchisee that I currently have, what becomes of them. The other is by going the licensing route, how hard of a transition would it be in possibly returning to the franchise model later? Any thoughts you have on this situation is appreciated. Thanks
