Goddamn UbuntuOne

Ubuntu One promised so much, I could sync my files between all of my machines and pickup stuff from different machines when in foreign countries e.t.c. Shame it fails to deliver! Ubuntu One keep notifying the world of their new features and future proposals which would be very nice, if they actually had the current features working. I have lost count of the number of times the contact system has been down, and the number of times notes and files don't sync up. Now the latest failure is the fact that it sees fit to go tits up and then replace my files with ...u1conflict thus rendering them useless to me. I thought it might be a bit of fun to use git and have the repository on my ubuntuone, hey I know this is not what git is intended for but thought it would be a simple way to clone to other machines in different localities. I was very wrong on this one, very wrong. After the initial ubuntuone sync on a new machine something had gone wrong and the source files failed to be copied over, oh well I thought I'd just do an old fashioned git clone over ssh which failed soon after it started with a simple failed message. When I looked at my file system .git was now .gitu1conflict, as this was a clone I simple deleted the folders ready to try again, this time though git wouldn't connect. So I logged into the original machine only to discover that ubuntuone had sync'd up with the original machine after I deleted the repository from the second machine, so the bidirectional sync meant that I had just lost all of my git projects. I am not a happy bunny!!! I should have kept backups even though they were just simple disposable projects I used for learning new stuff, so annoying.
