20:20We're hosting on Amazon S3 and several other places. I appreciate the Box.net offer, but it would just complicate our infrastructure further. A lot of our time over the years has gone to managing that, so I am firm on simplifying things

AdrianS

20:27np - wasn't trying to push it for any personal benefit - just thought you might be interested in any free, significantly sized offline storage. Most of the other free ones are only around 5 GB

20:28although I think MS also has 25 GB or so with SkyBox

Kaj

20:43I understand, my only issue is with our management effort

AdrianS

21:55can anyone see if this link to the VM works? It's hosted on SkyDrive

21:55http://sdrv.ms/R8dxBA

21:58It wants cookies and it says it will then use my Live ID, which I don't have

AdrianS

21:58I'm not sure if the link allows you to download the file, or only to view it on SkyDrive

21:59haven't used SkyDrive so I don't know my way around sharing stuff

Kaj

21:59Weren't you going to put it on Box.net?

AdrianS

22:06they have a 100 MB file limit - dumb

22:06at least for the free account

Kaj

22:08Yeah, I saw that. Wouldn't be of much use to us then, either

22:09Putting it on a Windows site where you need to log in would offend a large part of our audience

AdrianS

22:10sure, I'm hoping you don't need to - did you try and it asked for creds?

22:10there's different kinds of sharing - so I'm just trying them out

Kaj

22:10I'd have to give it cookies first to find out for sure. Don't want to do that, either

22:11This is the kind of trouble we get when taking extra infrastructure onboard

AdrianS

22:11let me see if I can find some place like depositfiles - though the free downloads usually involve a countdown timer

22:12dropbox is good for just giving a link with no hassle, but I only have 7 gb there and most is used up

Kaj

22:12That all sucks. This is why we're using S3. All under our control
