I’m going to take a little break from audio-talk to discuss something very important.

Google Documents.

I have now converted to ‘the cloud’, as it were. Cloud computing is definitely a very excellent thing. After years of dealing with Open/Neo Office, and the inconsistencies and weird quirks, I am finished with them. The Google Spreadsheet app alone is worth the cost… if there was one. But, as with pretty much all things Google (save for the Android), it’s completely free.

And the fact that I can access it from anywhere that has access to the internet (and doesn’t have the site blocked) and I’m golden. Add to that the fact that I was able to share a document to another GMail user (could’ve shared with multiple users too!) in the blink of an eye, and now, I’m just left really trying to find a downside to all of it. Is there one? Internet connection required? That’s almost a given for anyone, anyway.

If you haven’t checked out Google Docs yet, I highly suggest you give it a while. And hey, if you want to share a document with me, send it along to slaptheolsentwins (at) gmail (dot) com.
