Copy is a new cloud storage solution similar to Dropbox. They have a better price model, allowing you to use 250GB of storage for 99$ per year. The free account starts with 5GB and you can get a few extra GB by promoting the service. You get client agents for most operating systems, including Linux.

Barracuda only supplies Linux users with a simple tgz installer. This installer is perfectly working, but I wanted to install and update software with dpkg. So I hacked a little script to download the current version of the client agent and build a Debian package from the tgz.

You can find the script on GitHub: https://github.com/neovatar/copycom2deb

Since Yahoo did put delicious into "sunset mode" (marketing speech for: "we will close it down"), I was searching for an alternative. Many people did switch to pinboard.in, so I gave this service a shot. And I am really liking this "antisocial bookmarking service". If you are in search for an alternative to delicious, give pinboard.in a try. It is worth the one time signup fee! The only thing I was missing is a little firefox integration for quick bookmarking within firefox. So I wrote my own little firefox add on. Its called simplepinboardbutton and its hosted on the simplepinboardbutton site.
