A Virtual Sense of Loss,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
I'm the kind of person who chokes up a bit when I must part with objects I use every day. When the clutter has become overwhelming and the time comes to say goodbye to a wallet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a watch or an old pair of sneakers I wore while running a marathon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I feel a sense of loss. Sometimes I say goodbye out loud or even take a picture of the object. When you finally accept your deeply sentimental and nerdy nature,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it becomes OK to voice such thoughts.
reRedditWhile I didn't have a lot to do with my server on a day to day basis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I did login once in a while and traverse the directory structures that showed the past incarnations of my web sites and wiki. I missed my server terribly when The Planet went down for a week in 2008,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but they did such a good job communicating that I didn't run away. What finally drove me to find a new server was the lure of backed up storage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which I found at Rackspace. The higher cost is a small price to pay for the peace of mind I now have.
You may not feel a sense of attachment to your server,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or even your laptop. But what if you went to a different desk everyday or only wore generic clothes delivered washed from some common pool? You would feel a sense of loss. A smaller life in some regard. I suspect the closest the non-nerdy get to the feeling I have right now is losing a cellphone.
As the world becomes more part of the cloud,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], those of us that did engineer our own computing infrastructure are saying goodbye to a hands-on era. I suppose that's what is really bothering me. I'm no longer controlling the knobs and dials of my server as I once did. There is no thrill to getting it working and keeping it going. Google,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], MindJet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Rackspace and the other cloud vendors just do all the work for me.相关的主题文章:
