As an article posted on HN, I expected this to be about how to cope with losing a self-hosted Linux filesystem. As a resource to deal with "home loss", this is excellent.

Also, I'd like to take a moment to appreciate how close this comes to implementing most of a website within a google spreadsheet. I know that much of this is intended to be duplicated and filled out, but the first few tabs would be right at home as HTML somewhere. You can't beat the hosting cost of doing it this way, and now I wonder how many folks are abusing Google Docs like that.

It looks horrible from any usability and GUI perspective.
