G.ho.st shuts down

One more online service has gone phut. G.ho.st, an online OS service that also provided email and storage services, is closing. G.ho.st has sent this email to its subscribers:

Dear Ghost User,

We hope you have been enjoying our free Ghost service. Regrettably changes in the marketplace mean that it is no longer economical for us to host the Ghost service and we will be closing down the service on or around March 15. We will instead be focusing on licensing or selling our technology to larger companies.

We advise you to migrate ALL important folders, files and emails to another secure place before March 15. You might like to consider Google Docs or Microsoft SkyDrive for files and services such as Gmail or Yahoo! Mail for email. Some instructions for migrating data are included below.

We are really sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and are very grateful for the fantastic support we had from our community.

Waiting for an epidemic?


This is the scene at Pycrofts I Street at Royapettah in Chennai. The road is bang opposite the upcoming Express Avenue shopping mall-cum-multiplex complex.
There is no garbage bin. The Neel Metal Fanalca guys just burn the garbage once in few days.
And there is the grand talk of singara (beautiful) Chennai.
