file transfer

after reading this: xkcd: file transfer i realized, that there is no cross-platform, easily accessable file-transfer program. or even a decient method to transfer files from one person to another. this is just sad. the intarwebz has been around for what? ~50 years now??? (1973 so sayeth wikipedia so 38 years) and yes, for he tech-savvy people there are a number of different ways one can go about sharing files. setting up ftp servers or having it hosted on a website of some sort… i know i can (and have) shared files with people via my github account. though sending an e-mail to my mom in the next room so i don’t have to deal with flaky windows networking & file sharing is, IMO, fscking retarted!! i mean, really? and if i want to share something with my brother in NY one or the other has to have an ftp or some such set up… and that is just a pain!!

what to do? what to do? maybe make something cool??
