When Browsers Are Just as Bad as Your OS

When Browsers Are Just as Bad as Your OS

By Guest Authors on November 24, 2009

As any good Cloud evangelist worth his salt will tell you, a browser beats operating system hands down for all the usual reasons, e.g. platform agnostic, reduced complexity etc. etc. However, I get the feeling sometimes that browsers have gone the way of most operating systems lately.  Let me explain. Quite often in recent days, […]

The Challenge of Offline Saas Revisited

The Challenge of Offline Saas Revisited

By Guest Authors on August 19, 2009

Paul Michaud wrote a post here a couple of days ago on the challenge of allowing offline usage in a Saas based system.  In his comprehensive discussion, he used the example of a Saas based contact management system and the complexities involved in allowing users to take their data, manipulate it offline, and then synchronise […]

CloudBerry’s Scare Tactic Backfires.

By Guest Authors on July 16, 2009

Coming Full Circle – Confessions of a Windows Programmer

By Guest Authors on May 6, 2009

Let me start this post off by announcing that I am, to all accounts, a programming dinosaur.  I started cutting code back when MS-DOS 2.1 was the OS de rigeur.  Of course, I then moved ‘up’ into Win32 programming when the wonderful world of GUI interfaces rose to prominence.

Left In The Dark!

By Guest Authors on April 13, 2009

Last Tuesday a ‘perfect storm’ in the form of a double fibre cable fault in Western and Central Australia left almost the entire top end of the country without telephone, internet or mobile communications for about 10 hours.

Where is Cloud Police?

Where is Cloud Police?

By Guest Authors on January 27, 2009

If you happen to be the unfortunate victim of someone breaking into your home (and I pray that you never are), the first recourse is pretty much the same around the world – you would put a call in to your local emergency services, i.e. 911 (or 000 as it is over here in Australia). […]

Sandy Gets the Sack

Sandy Gets the Sack

By Guest Authors on November 26, 2008

I am always on the lookout for free or low cost web services that will help me (and my clients) to better organise their day, and to be more productive. About a year ago, I stumbled upon a free service called ‘I Want Sandy‘, which, in a nutshell, is an online virtual assistant.  The way […]
