Not a chance.
Migration will go from Amazon to Azure to IBM Cloud.
IBM is closing our facility down. They will NOT host our backup server. Demanded we moved to their cloud. Since they screwed us, we moved to the Amazon Cloud where we have more experience.

I do tend to agree with some of your thoughts but perhaps more toward moving to a Hosted off-site facility. The issues that I have had are that the internet does go down and your team has lost everything, especially if your running web enabled applications. In some locations power distribution is just as bad. The other issue is support where it is sometimes less expensive to have the hosted facility take care of all the hardware / setup support (VMware as an example) instead of hiring an internal person to do the maintenance.
In the long run you can probably buy the hardware for less then the monthly recurring charges and you may be able to get a better deal on OS / Server licenses. From my experience the "Cloud" services are very expensive and blocks a lot of access or even differentiates DB software (Azure). I asked about the support issues if my internet connection goes down how am I suppose to develop and update not just code but DB tables and SPROCS. Doesn't happen easily or cheaply.
Yep, the "Cloud" I believe just clouds up a lot of issues but it's the thing to do.

So, I have an HTC phone.
It just popped up an alert, "HTC Sense - consider a new theme"
With a merry christmas theme. In elephanting March.
And the christmas picture was all northern hemisphere snowy - nice picture nevertheless. But here in NZ, December is all summery, and swimming, and BBQs, and sunblock, and beers at the beach.
And it's March.
GrrrrrAhh!

What's the mobile reception like in NZ? Is it possible that it just took 3 months to download the image before it could show you the notification?

Climate change. Soon the glaciers will head down from the South Pole, covering New Zealand in a mile of ice - in the summer!

so you don't want the Jesus birthday theme,
would you prefer the Jesus death day theme with cute fluffy wabbits?
... oh wait, wabbits are an ecological disaster in NZ too.
but not to worry, JC is still quite popular over there people still keep calling him and asking him questions
...i.e.
"J*C* did you see that?"
"J*C* what a f*wit that w*ker was"
"J*C* are you that! stupid?"
"J*C* f*g woman drivers"
"J*C* will you shut the f* up?"
"J*C* F*!"
"J*C* who took the last cold beer and didn't put any more in the chilly bin?"

The funny thing is, I was just about to post saying it was too hard and I will be back later for the answer...
Then I remembered my own rule of counting letters in consecutive words to see if any match the total letters (i.e. check for possible anagrams). Then it was the letter K that made it stand out for me.
Anyhow, I realise explaining my thought process isn't part of the game. My real problem is I deleted my bank of clues, so now I need to think of a new one 
|
|

|

I am glad somebody got it, because my little text file with clues is now empty.
I guess I need to get meaner with my clues (and have 3 days worth ready) if I want them to remain unsolved.

Well it wouldn't take much to stump me, but I would be highly impressed if you managed to stump the regulars for a whole three days!
I look forward to your attempts

You right. He obviously doesn't have good taste. How unexpected!  
Or maybe just ignorance.. I guess, I dunno what happens in South Africa...

I'm more surprised that he hasn't drunk alcohol

That didn't surprise me because I don't drink much if at all...
But now, come to think of it, never drunk alcohol? it is indeed surprising!

Not when you consider he is a Type 1 Diabetic.

I know a couple of Type 1 diabetics, and they drink in moderation (maybe a couple of drinks over the weekend). Being diabetic doesn't preclude you from drinking, you just need to be more careful.

I was going to point that out as being the more surprising fact. Even I drink.
But okay, while we're confessing: I've had never a coffee in my life.
Chocolate-covered coffee grains, sure. But never as a beverage. Most hot beverages have no appeal to me.
