Well I had to start somewhere with this blog and hopefully some of you will find it useful. Cloud Computing has been the buzz for a while now and it still seems to be buzzing. It has become obvious to me for someone that is a sexagenarian (not a pervert, but it does have a good ring to it) That every time you turn around, someone comes up with a new term for the old stuff. That really makes it hard on us has beens. So with all of my research that I've done it turns out that what it amounts to is using the web for running your applications and storing your data.
Of course there's more to it than that, but that seems to be the essence of it. Seems as though that's how its got its name WEB 2.0. Web 1.0 was just searching and exchanging data including audio, images, and video and sending email. If that wasn't cool enough, someone thought up another use for all of those servers that are sending you spam email and running adult videos. Thank God!
Now the trick is to keep up with what's going on. Not an easy job with the likes of Google, Sun, Microsoft, Apple and every one else that jumped on the bandwagon. So I'm hoping that I can be just one points of reference for those of you that actually care and don't want to miss out on being the first one on your block to know why something is happening that everyone is talking about. I hope I can make it simple.
Stay with me an let me hear your thoughts.(if they are not to painful) Help me out by letting me know what you think is cool or funny or just plain stupid. So here goes. Wish me luck!
