Damn googledocs

DAMMIT googledocs is a PITA to use. I noticed an omission in the section on the issue of warrants so I tried to update the files there. That's finally done after a painful mess-around involving deleting the original published doc, uploading the new one, and republishing it, because the internal edit and save function didn't work. I then discovered that GD oh so thoughtfully decided to mess around with the automatic numbered lists I had created for my original word documents! On ALL of them. Oh JOY!

All I want is some place to host a few PDFs or word Docs, and maybe some ads to pay for it, is that too much to friggin ask?? Geocities please come back. *sigh*

  1. Some people use their gmail accounts as storage space.

  2. It's not just storage space, but somewhere so the public can download it. There are plenty of free storage places, but they don't allow hotlinking unless the account is paid for, which is understandable.

    I think that at some point, if I get too annoyed with GD, that I may pay for a full host for this blog and all the files I want to make publicly available. In the meantime I will be creating versions that have the automated lists turned off so that there's nothing for the GD upload to upset.
