I lie on the couch in my sorrows, crush chocolate (I'd like red wine too, but when combined with chocolate, I might have migraine) and listen to Cloud Nine by George Harrison. It got high, too. Clouds took my research data.

The cloud service DriftingData, which I used was free (Imagine, something free in the modern world!) and easy to use. All you have to do is drag and drop your data there and then you could use it from anywhere. However, we should have read the squiggly terms of use in more detail. When you don't pay to use the service with money, you pay with your data. The company providing the service gets to fluff my data. Eh, Data security and data protection… Well yes, I know the concept. “Use our OneDrive and network drive to store your data”, they said at the university's Data service, and I should have. I guess you're not going to jail for this... Although, I might do the research imprisoned as well, since getting funding for research is almost impossible nowadays…
