.... is the sound you make when you realise that you should have spent that little bit more money and bought the 64GB iPad instead of the 32.  

 

I was recently off sick for a few days and spend a lot of time under the duvet with the iPad watching various films and TV programmes. Halfway through downloading Series 2 of Sherlock from iTunes, it decided to tell me that I didn’t have enough storage capacity. Thus ensues the agonising decision of what to delete in order to free up the space needed. Do I really want to delete ‘100 greatest ‘70’s Disco Hits’ in favour of keeping ‘The Complete Stone Roses’…? Cue another Big Bang Theory moment where ((Music + video) / storage capacity) x happiness = should have bought a larger gigabyte iPad. 

 

I really should investigate Cloud Computing and keep some stuff there… Making everything easily accessible from all devices and everywhere. I must admit though that I’m not 100% sure of how to use it and what its limitations are. Although I am slightly more informed than 51% of respondents in a recent survey that thought stormy weather could interfere with Cloud Computing!  

 

However on the 18^th October, Julie Hollway from IBM will be explaining to an audience up in Coventry how cloud computing works. Unfortunately I’m in London that evening but if anyone is going, please write a review and post it up in the MyCommunity group for the IET Coventry and Warwickshire Network for the rest of us to read!
