securing free cloud storage posted: Sat 2013-08-17 21:25:27 tags: tech, backups
"Cloud storage" services have been around for years. I've been uniformly unimpressed until now, due to space limitations of free accounts and exorbitant pricing for useful amounts of space. Most recently I had some space on Dropbox, but 2GB base and half-GB bonuses for referrals was not quite a useful size, so it went unused. Enter: copy.com by Barracuda. Base size is 15GB, which is already ample, and then they add 5GB for signing up via referral link and verifying your email address. This is plenty suf... (...more)

Split a medium pizza from Nick's with April for lunch. Made smoothie #3 in the new blender when I got home. Ice cold smoothie was a very welcome treat, what with no A/C in the car and the house being as warm as you'd expect with A/C off while I was out all day. Several weeks ago I bought a couple each of La Fins and Éphémères to share, but the anticipated hanging-out never came about, so I picked them off over the past few days. From a side-by-side taste comparison, Éphémère is quite tasty, but La... (...more)

Dreamed my family was living all together in a big mazy house with at least one other family, like roommating but whole families. This is a recurring dream feature by now I guess. What I most remember is sneaking off to a bedroom (must have been my bedroom shared with some other function, my futon mattress, a couple pillows, comforter, dark green and beige sheets were there) with a twentysomething daughter of a (the) other family and going down on her. She was menstruating lightly, not enough to put me off... (...more)

With the Cartographer, Navigator, and Merchant skills squared away and close to 100K gold in the kitty, it's time for some shopping. The top-notch gear is at Atlantium's blacksmith shop. I haven't figured out if the "Today's Specials" menu is fully randomized or what so some of these might not be 100% available: Knight: Plate Armor +1, Helm +4, Great Shield +1, Broad Sword +2 (base dmg 10), Great Bow +2 Paladin: same as Knight Archer: Chain Mail +2, no helm or shield, Flamberge +2 (base dmg 16), G...
