Copy - The new frontier of Clouding! and why it wins over Dropbox and Google Drive

 I have been trying many cloud storage services, but most of them made me unsatisfied, with Copy Sync, for the first time after long I was pleasurably satisfied.

Let me tell you why. Well, first you might try it yourself the special 20GB of storage campaign: if you use an invitation link to register you get 5 extra GB together with the one inviting you (instead of 15GB)!! I drop here mine so you can use it to register later if you like.

The second part of my stratification in fact lies in what other clouding software left me unsatisfied with.
  1. First, Dropbox does Delta Syncing and it's really cool even to use together Truecrypt Volumes. But free storage is just not enough: 2GB end in the blink of an eye.
  2. Most of cloud services out there, including Google Drive (as of 2014/01), fail in meeting on one very basic requirement: differential syncing. That is delta sync, the capacity to actually re-upload only the single part of a file that changed without re-transfering the whole thing wasting bandwidth.. Crucial when often changing bits of huge files as I do.
  3. Copy sync has 20GB of storage (if you use the link above to register), delta syncing with real-time syncronization (based on timestamps so be aware of properly setting your Truecrypt Volume in case you plan to use them together) and clients for ALL platforms, including Linux, Mac OS, Windows, Android, iOS, Windows Phones and more to come!
  4. The Web-interface is just good-looking and intuitive, I like it. A true eye-candy ;)
I also recommend you to take a look to the in-depth technical comparison of different cloud services on wikipedia, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_online_backup_services
 Well, then, enjoy the cloud!! As of me, I'm quite happy I've crossed paths with Copy Sync!
Feel free to ask any question regarding the various differences in the cloud storage services and I'll be more then happy to reply you!! Just drop a comment!

Un binario perverso - what the hell is going on?

やるべきこと -> pensiero -> azione ? -> evitare -> prendere tempo -> fare qualcosa di inutile -> 罰を与える -> bloccare qualunque azione positiva -> brain freezes -> impossibility to take any action -> 自分を責める -> struggle the self over one's duties -> total failure.

Ma perche`??
What am I avoiding so desperately??
ちくしょー! なんでなんだよ。自分でも判らない。

Exam Period

Studying for my exams at Venice University.
On 11th I'll be taking the first this period, Japanese History, then 14th, 24th and 30th will follow.
Reviewing I realized more than a few things, I could have prepared better, but I suppose it's all experience that comes through.
Wish me good luck.
