[nfbcs] Has Anyone Worked With Amazon Web Services?

[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon everyone,

	We're considering creating new Websites in the cloud and using
Amazon Web Services to host them. I'd be curious to know if anyone has
worked with Amazon Web Services to learn what accessibility issues you
needed to address as well as working with the various interfaces.
Bookshare.org has a number of books concerning the construction and hosting
of Websites and cloud applications using the AWS Platform. I'll look forward
to hearing about your experiences with working with AWS.
 Peter Donahue

Subject: Re: [nfbcs] The Future of Technology: A Journey

This is always an interesting subject. I think I may have taken a bit of a
different route than most people. When I got out of high school I wanted to
major in some kind of music degree so that I could run my own studio and
teach guitar. After getting a two year associates degree, I did not go back
to school anymore because it was just way too expensive. So after that I
made a little bit of money running my own studio but I never pushed it
really hard. After a few years of doing this I got bored and tried to get a
normal office job. But since my degree was in music, not many people would
consider hiring me because I had no degree in whatever I was pursuing to be
hired for. I tried to get a job at Verizon has a call center representative
and failed miserably on the phone interview because it was my first
interview and I was pretty nervous. Looking back however, I am extremely
glad that I did not get that job. I would not have been happy sitting in an
office and talking on the phone with people all day. During this time I also
took a few Internet marketing courses and learn how to build a basic
website. When things really turned around for me was when I went to learn to
tune and rebuild pianos in Vancouver Washington. The school has since closed
however but what I learned there was extremely valuable to running my own
business. If I could go back 10 years ago I would have went to that school
much sooner because I enjoy working with pianos. Now I run my own piano
tuning and repair business as well as teach lessons. I love it because it
gives me something different to do every day instead of just sitting in an
office. So if anyone is thinking about starting their own business I would
certainly do it but also realize that it does take time to get going just
like anything else. It can be easy to get discouraged and stop pursuing your
own business when you are not making money, but if you have found a good
business to pursue then do it no matter what.To me, it is far more rewarding
than having a normal office job.
