I cheated already

Before anyone makes me apologize, A-Rod style ….

The initial post on this blog was composed offline, using Windows Live Writer. In a way, this violates the spirit of cloud computing. But not really. The post you’re currently reading was composed entirely on-line, using the built-in WordPress editor. But …

• There’s nothing in the previous post that couldn’t have been composed on-line.
• Windows Live Writer is a free, very small tool that can either be carried with you on a flash drive or downloaded on demand and installed onto any computer to which you have administrative rights.

So I don’t think using an offline blog editor to compose content in any way demonstrates an inherent fallacy in the cloud computing concept. Do you?
