SaaS data loss: The problem you didn’t know you had

The bar regulars, too, were only too happy to pose for the family album:

The Bar Tito regulars with the Vulture 1

Our nerve centre was within easy staggering distance of Bar Tito, in La Quinta del Chocolatero, where Steve Daniels and John Oates took the opportunity to pose with vital mission components:

Steve and John at mission headquarters

As the following two pics show, inside was a well-ordered, highly-disciplined set-up, in which any available horizontal surface was commandeered for the greater good:

Yes, you've guessed it: our radio man has temporarily mislaid the bottle opener, as his expression shows.

Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup/Recovery

This was...

... covered in great detail in an earlier PARIS story. I'm very pleased to say that the informed consensus was that your point of view is, while understandable, totally wrong.

God, I'd hate to see you lot when you're feeling depressed.

One word . . . .

brilliant !!!!

Simply brilliant.

I've been following this from day 1 and have to say that the entire project, from start to finish, defines what the register is all about - good honest to goodness tongue in cheek tech reporting with the right amount of irreverence backed by genuine "hacker" mentality and the pursuit of fun.

Well done to all who worked on this and those who backed the project (including the pointy haired back room crew).

This is what is missing from life these days - the spirit of doing something for the fun of it.

I really really do hope that this is just the start, and not the end of this adventure, you guys have the makings of a real annual event here and the possibility to take it international (what with the possibility of a competition with the aussies and god knows who else).

Thank you for a great adventure, it was one of those very rare events that captured the kid in all of us.

I can't wait for the next one.
