Re: Social media and RPG

["Christen, Duane" <Duane.Christen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Initially I plan on using the basic (shared partition) plan. There are several things I want to play with, that I can't do either at work or on my 170. I also have some services etc that I would like to take open source, but they need some work.

Glad to hear it!  The iDevCloud.com effort is a good one to get involved
with - I look forward to that initiative growing.  Are you able to share
what you are planning to do?  Also, which plan from iDevCloud.com are you
going to go with?  Are you going to be hosting a website?
