Distributed Self-Directed Backup

Experimenting with use of Bittorrent Sync as a means of distributing backup across locations.

Goals:
  • Test feasibility on small sample set
  • Test replication of VM VDIs
  • Meter speed of set replication
  • Audit errors and duplicates
  • How does it handle files in-use

Bringing Google+ comments to Blogger

and vice versa...

Bringing Google+ comments to Blogger

It seems a little sluggish to refresh at the moment, but I think this really invigorates Blogger, and I can't wait to see the same system brought to YouTube and offered via 3rd party plugin. Consolidation of shares, comments, and to me, one of the most important features: controlling the visibility of comments you are posting.

You also get Google+ notifications when people comment on your blog postings. And the options are robust, whether the primary identification of the Blog is to a Google account or a Google page. This posting, for instance, is my inaugural posting under my business affiliated Google+ Page.

This should encourage more people to feel free to be more explanatory, verbose and comprehensive in their postings. My blog becomes where I say things long form, I share to personal account or page, adding verbiage to summarize or encourage people to click through, share, comment.
