The Digital Cloud Braid
In my years of being a tech Geek, i’ve applied technology to my life daily. With the emergence of cloud computing, personalization and reliability is key. Now not to forget about security and down times. Cloud storage and computing is essential.
I have come up with a system at home that I believe will be the future default of every Geek and possibly everyone’s standard set up. I called it the Digital Cloud Braid or just ( Braid ). Needless to say this setup I distinctively say its not a hybrid as it is more of a braided merge of the same tech, yet with a marriage of two hardware & connectivity applications.
Let’s get into it now. I have setup a personal cloud via an off the shelf live storage device and also merged in it my online cloud ( Dropbox & Google Drive ) needless to say of course I have iCloud which is not married into this setup for security reasons as I have kept my iDevices securely running in iCloud.
The personal cloud and public cloud braided into one applied system running from my MacMini server has given me peace of mind on where my information is stored and full control of its connectivity and hardware. Today you don’t actually know where you drop your files on the cloud as they could be anywhere distributed across the globe. We all know drives can be hacked and even files can be extracted even if the drive is formatted. However knowing your drive is at home or the office gives you that sense of peace.
Cloud Braiding will be the future standard setup in the very near future as all these devices are now available, however the consumer market is still not aware of its ease of availability. Now here is what you need to make a standard Cloud Braid, depending on your budget you can go as big and fast as you want.
1. Minimal of 5Mpbs Connectivity to the internet via an Ethernet or WiFi Connection. A fiber or ADSL line is recommended for uninterrupted connection to the internet.
2. A Cloud Based router, DLink offers the best cloud routers in the market, with easy set-up and access via your iPhone & iPad with a free App on the Apple App Store.
– The Cloud Router lets you manage your devices remotely and also enables you to see what devices are connected to your router and using the internet or LAN.
3. A Personal Cloud storage device, I suggest DLink or WD Live. DLink Cloud Routers also offer a USB port to connect an external HDD if you do not wish to have a personal cloud device. I recommend a Cloud storage device as it is independent from the router and offers an extra firewall for security. Also Cloud storage devices connect only via Ethernet for superb speed and security with firmware protection incase the drive was stolen.
4. Mostly all Cloud storage devices have Dropbox, Google Drive and other public cloud integration. So install the public drives to your Personal cloud. All this can be simply done by just enabling the service and inserting your username and password and the personal cloud service does the rest. Whats amazing you can do this all on your iPad or iPhone too.
After all this is done your ready to go and your Cloud Braided system of personal and public cloud is fullyl integrated into one place.
How this helps you in the future. For me all my Data on my MacBook pro Retina is placed on the Braid, my 500GB flash drive can only store so much and being a photo junky all the pics I take are stored on my iPhoto App, however placed on the Braid. So when i sync my Photos they sync on my iPhoto root file on the Braid. My work also however when i need to send something I place it on my Dropbox and send a public link for a limited time. But when the information is too sensitive i create a public link to my Braid and control who when and for how long the file can be accessed.
The future of data is personal seamless controllability and not accessibility like the services available today from the online cloud based services. Except iCloud which is under the unique ecosystem of Apple and control is a key element you can enjoy via iCloud.

My Birthday Is dedicated to my idol.
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. – Steve Jobs

There is a fundamental flaw in online recruitment done by Employers and Online Recruitment companies, also the way to avoid it. Lets list the flaws first:
1 – Companies who have invested in their own online recruitment system should NOT use or post on online platforms like LinkedIn, Bayt or GulfTalent.
Reason: First of all when a candidate is searching for a vacancy and finds one, they do not want to fill a thousand profiles before they get to your listing. HR has essentially forgot the user experience of employment brand. Just like social media, companies can handle thousands of applicants via their own platform. If the employer believes that the Online recruitment companies is an advertising space, I believe they have got it all wrong. It’s way faster and cheaper to advertise a job via normal online channels and not threw the online recruitment agencies. Personally I believe when an HR department does so, they are intentionally wasting money and peoples time.
Here is what kind of user experiences when you do the shotgun online recruitment. First they log into let’s say Bayt.com, they have a full profile and the candidate views a posting by you. They click apply, then it takes them to a page saying ” apply via employers wed site “, click. The user goes to the employer site, has to register, fill out the same profile that they have online all over again. After that is done the candidate applies to the vacancy. The question arrises, why did I have to go to Bayt to fill out an application and register again on the employer’s site? The experience is shot dead and the candidate already has lost the belief that Bayt or the employer will ever see the applicant’s resume.
2- Third party recruiters are just killing your brands! wake the hell up!! Traditional recruitment companies are just using your online platform to suck up your data pile and use it for their own “big data” pile. Weren’t you ” Online recruitment ” companies suppose to put the traditional recruitment agencies out of business? Why on earth are you actually giving them more business? Why would I want to apply via an Online recruitment platform, for my CV to go to a traditional recruitment company, and then if that old fashioned recruitment company decides if i’m good enough they will “think” of sending it to the employer. This is what is actually making ever single online recruitment company in the region a fail.
3- Employers, please please please and i’m going to say this very openly. Have the balls to post the name of your company. When an online or traditional recruitment company posts a vacancy and says ” Confidential ” that is actually point blank stupid. Are you ashamed of hiring? Is your company name so invaluable? Isn’t posting your company name part of your brand strength and attracting the right candidates. HR departments have to wake up to the fact that a vacancy is like a product or service the actual company sells. If the HR thought of the vacancy as a product and are looking for the right customer, all HR’s problems would be solved. From talent search to recruiting and employee engagement. I strongly believe HR is a core part of marketing and the two departments should work hand in hand to further expand the companies out reach. Your staff are your brand ambassadors, clients, , family, customers and first line soldiers in defense against the competition.
4 – Companies should avoid the recruitment confusion and make the recruitment process as easy as their products service or industry they want to portray. No company in todays age wants to be known as not innovative and simply old fashioned.
Remedy: First of all I would like to start with the online recruitment companies like Bayt, LinkedIn and GulfTalent. As a brand you should essentially not allow employers to redirect your subscriber base to their platforms. First its a bad user experience, second it shows that the online platform is useless, and they should go straight to the employer sites. Third never let traditional recruitment companies post on your site, also why should I use online if the traditional are taking my details, when I see a traditional recruiter name I immediately go to their site and apply again on their site or better call them.
Employers & HR departments. Honestly listen up. Drop your in house online system and use an external popular platform, Bayt & LinkedIn are outstanding platforms that can be utilized in so many ways. Bayt offers a wide range of services for recruitment. On your careers page you can simply put, ” We use Bayt ! ” click on our company page view and apply directly through Bayt.com directly to us. WOW imagine that, a potential candidate says, holy moly these guys are the coolest! they can see their application status, promote their application and also get real time feedback.
I know there is a lot of change here, and that online platforms are actually benefitting in cash from the fragmentation of their platforms, however there is essentially one thing they have to know. Someone some where will actually read this and say ” hey lets make a real online recruitment site ” get the employers to engage and essentially monitor what is being posted on our site. Every online platform should be an eco-system and companies join into this eco-system which is monitored and managed. Leaving no room for flaws like third part recruiters and employer redirections.

Ja wiem, ze te newsy są mniej fascynujące od innych, ale blog jest idealnym miejscem to umieszczania takich regularnych korekt cenników. Po ostatniej „aferze” z gsmmaniak.pl przypominam, że prezentowane cenniki dotyczą ofert dostępnych w sklepach PLAY. Czasem mogą się one różnić od tych na naszym eszopie.
LG L5 był mega hitem w swojej kategorii, czy L5 drugiej generacji poprawi ten wynik?
Zmniejszyliśmy również cenę dwóch tabletów od Prestigio i Lenovo. Ten pierwszy to tani i dosyć popularny produkt, bo znajdziecie go chyba u wszystkich operatorów. Ktoś ma? Testował?
Lenovo S6000 3G z dziesięcioma calami robi duże wrażenie.Rok temu na CES wydawało się, ze wszystko bedzie większe i jeszcze większe. Uważacie, ze to dobry kierunek?
