Two Dudes Discuss: Cloud Storage

Raining on your storage parade.

Two dude's conversing mostly about cloud storage. Turned out to be an interesting conversation. The kind of conversation that started this blog in the first place. Only slight edits from the original text for readability.

Some background, Michael is the Apple fan who has lent James his old iPad (no bloody 2, 3, or 4 -- points if you get the reference). James is not an Apple fan but willing to try new things for little to no cost.

Conversation after the jump.

How to interstitial suspend with a paper towel using nothing but your hands and water!

Hey dude I found this video that coincides with a an annoyance of mine. I'd say, on a least a semi-regular basis I find myself in a public restroom. When I do I make it a point to dry my hands with a single paper towel. It irks me when I see guys go up and grab one after another after another after another... well you get my point.

Apparently I am not the only one this bothers, but this guy puts a lot more thought into it that I ever did.

I shake like he demonstrates, but I find 6-7 good shakes sufficient. Maybe I have small hands. The bit about the folding is far more interesting to me than it should be (it's spelled "interstitial suspension" and good luck finding anything on it). You will also learn an interesting fact about the number twelve.
