Thing #45 Cloud Computing

I haven't really used too many tools that connect into the whole cloud computing universe. At work we have different folder access, so we can access our files from other computers in our building and from home if needed. I suppose if we didn't have that kind of access, I would use Google Docs or something similar.

I do want to try creating a shared calender using Google Docs at some point. There are several different calenders that could be created for our workgroup.
1. A calender that would basically be a work schedule for our student workers. They could swap shifts, etc. from home and not be at work.
2. A calender (that currently exists in paper) that has reminders for tasks that occur each year at different times. For example, Update student worker telephone list - this happens each time a new semester or student schedule changes. These reminders are for our whole workgroup.
3. A combination calender that merges all the individual tasks that each person in the workgroup currently takes care of.

Experimenting is fun!
