It wasn't so much the "$10/mo" that I was thinking of (there are even cheaper options around).
It is the support and maintenance that comes afterwards.
While you may become a master of all the components you plan on incorporating, the fellow(s) that come after you may not be.
It appears that you are not being asked to follow any type of corporate "standard" (assuming there is one). Corporate standards usually imply some sort of internal skill sets that can later be called upon, if necessary.
An application that is not or cannot be supported, maintained and updated when necessary will rapidly fall into disuse.
(I like / hope to think the stuff I develop winds up having a long life).
That said, it's wonderful to be in a position where one has control over most, if not all, aspects of a project.

Indeed, and what I'm hoping will result from what is essentially a prototype (or, perhaps a better word is "pilot program") is the value will be seen and there will be actual funds allocated for support and maintenance.
And yes, I hear you on the standards, etc.
So, it'll be interesting to see how this evolves over the next 6 months or so!

This isn't a programming question (so I'm not posting it in the questions forum), just a rather interesting side effect of using OneDrive, so I'll just mention it here, to see if anybody else has seen this, or knows how to prevent it:
When I update a document at work, and upload it to OneDrive, it replaces the earlier version of that file. That's fine. But when I get home from work, I find the old version of the document (the one that has been replaced) by in my laptop's Recycle bin?
Is that "as designed" or...???

I'd call it "weird", and perhaps "worrisome".
When you're working on a file stored on a remote machine, you should not have access to the remote machine's recycle bin functions (which is essentially what's happening).

Google drive does the same thing, if I recall. So I vote for WAD.

WAD? I binged it, but nothing here:[^] seems to make sense.

Just double-checked on Google Drive, and it *doesn't* do it that way, so I retract my vote and change it to "huh, weird"
If I delete a file from GDrive on Machine A, it will end up in the recycle bin on Machine B, but edits just flow through without any recycle bin shenanigans.

The web site, WriteAtHome™, offers a valuable service for teenagers, home schooled or traditionally schooled. I will leave it to others to evaluate how well they do.
The important issue is the poor quality of writing I see in the newspapers, memos, letters, blogs and books. We, engineers and scientists alike, are notoriously poor writers.
Can some of you post some url's of web sites that can actually help us improve our writing? The three key points should be quality of help, style of help and cost. As an employee of a .org, low cost is a major factor as I am not reimbursed for any courses I take. Others, however, may be luckier.
Thank you.
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept that there are some things I just can’t keep up with, the determination to keep up with the things I must keep up with, and the wisdom to find a good RSS feed from someone who keeps up with what I’d like to, but just don’t have the damn bandwidth to handle right now.
