The technicalities of Windows Home Server now at a level that even pre-schoolers can understand!
The things that some people come up with! Brilliant, just brilliant!
Servers are no longer a thing just for the office, with Windows Home Server, a small server that can live in the cupboard is more affordable then ever.
HP have probably been the most influential in this space so far, but as the market grows, I’m sure we’ll see some of the other players, Dell, IBM and even some home brew come into the market with some pretty cool products.

An emotional story told on SBS’s Insight show back in April featuring the much loved Tim Freedman telling the story about former band member and founding band member of the Whitlams, Andy Lewis, who suffered from a gambling addiction, and committed suicide in April of 2000.
R.I.P. Andy Lewis - You will always be remembered.
This clip goes to show just how close to home the gambling addiction really is in this country.

Wayne Small is an SBSer out of Sydney, and like me has a sick sense of humour, but it also appears that he has WAAAAAY to much time on his hands.
The new version of Small Business Server is on the way and Wayne has come up with some funnies, similar to the Apple v PC ads.
Enjoy.

For those who have been following the saga of the TracMe Beacon, the following taken from Panbo is a good laugh at how the product is perceived in the wider community.
TracMe revisited, today’s the day
Apr 1, 2008The good Doug Ritter (above) knows how to have a little boyish fun on April One, including some well deserved shots at the ineffectual FCC and the not-at-all funny TracMe “PLB” folks (who have at least taken “boating” off their applications list):
FCC SAYS “NO” TO ANOTHER PLB WANNNABE
The FCC has denied approval of the “Oceans-12 Personal Locator Beacon.” The manufacturer, Kung Pao Chicken Toy Factory of Tianjin, China, said they were surprised and disappointed by the decision. “We believe had best seller here,” said company spokesman, Chin A. Qrap.
The FCC spokesperson, Donmess Withus, pointed out that their so-called Personal Locator Beacon was little more than an unsold George Clooney action figure, repackaged with a small radio transmitter in the body, an antenna sticking out his of his head, and spray painted day-glo orange. Withus also noted the unusual location the activation switch, which he claims will lead to many false alerts. “We can’t send out Search and Rescue every time someone thinks it’s funny to touch George, um…. there.”
The manufacturer said they will appeal, claiming this decision is simply an overreaction to the recent problems with Chinese products and discriminatory. They point to the TracMe homing device and note that it is still being offered for sale as a PLB, despite FCC action, and claim
their device would be just as effective.
From the folks at Coriole in the McLaren Vale wine region, this 2003 Shiraz Cabernet is another great drop from the Coriole range of wines.
A predominantly Shiraz with a hint of Cabernet Sauvigon, the wine is a smooth clean taste with a mild spice which comes from the oak. Extremely fruity, lots of good red fruit, and what I though was plum, but actually reading in to it is more raspberry. Fruity with still a slight dry pallet, a drop that once again pays to lay it down for a few years to mature.
On the food front, I had a Penne dish with Mushrooms and Pesto with a nice sprinkle of fresh parmesan to top it all off.
A nice meal to end a good weekend.

Last night saw Kate and I trek down to Bennetts Lane, a funky little Jazz club in the heart of Melbourne to see a favourite performer of mine, Miss Julie O’Hara and her quintet.
Julie never disappoints with her smooth style of taking the music of some great performers of latter years and putting here own sultry lyrics to them.
The Julie O’Hara Quintet (Carlo Barbaro (tenor sax), Eamon McNelis (trumpet), Leigh Barker (double bass), Ben Winkelman (piano), Edward York (drums).
With the Melbourne Jazz Festival only two weeks away, make sure you check out the website and get down to some of the free shows happening at Federation Square.
