Spreadsheet of all my Collages with Date, Link, Title, Sizes etc.

Two years ago i started a nice spreadsheet (yeah, i like spreadsheets!) to keep a record on some basic info about my collages, like:

• Date


• Title


• Type: Analog or Digital


• Sizes (of the original and the scanned version)


• Observation


• Owner

I've finally added this list to my main website, so everyone can enjoy this overview on my artworks.

Have fun:

note: i'll be slowly adding the flickr links...

Reliable Unlimited Cheap Online Storage and Syncing Solution

So i've spend some time in the last weeks and months trying to find THE BEST solution for my problem. I have ~500GB of data that need a good damn Reliable, Unlimited Cheap Online Storage and Syncing Solution. Specifying:

• Reasonable price: ~ 100U$/year maximum


• Unlimited storage / bandwidth


• Accepts any file sizes


• Makes Backup of all my files (with versioning)


• Syncs to multiple machines


• Syncs external drives


• Syncs just specific folders in each computer


• Has shared folders (file-sharing with coworkers and friends)


• Shares specific files via URL


• Win, Mac and Linux client


• Web access to download/upload files

I've searched many options, including the populars:

• Dropbox


• Mozy


• Syncplicity


• Carbonite


• Amazon S3


• JungleDisk / Rackspace


• Google Drive (not yet released)


• Diino


• SpiderOak

And none of them have at least a big part of my needs. Here is the incomplete research template i did (on google spreadsheet). I intended to finish this list but since there wasn't a perfect choice, i stopped wasting my time on this.

The big issue is that:

• The 'Pay by GB' Solutions (amazon/rackspace) are too expensive for 100GB+


• The 'Unlimited Backup' Solutions don't sync (Mozy etc)


• The 'Syncing' Solutions (Dropbox etc) don't really backup (they sync) and none has unlimited storage

So i decided to wait and keep:

• My Work Documents: Dropbox (a free 2GB account) - which nicely syncs my computers


• My Photos & Collages: Flickr - its unlimited storage, so i still need to upload my older photos


• My Videos: Youtube & Vimeo


• And on the External Harddrive: 100GB of Music and 200GB of Videos (documentaries/movies) - this NEEDS some online backup....

Totally related to this, see Dan Ariely's presentation (youtube) on this year's TED, around 11min he talks about our problem dealing with choices...
