Finally - Election Day is almost here. Its pretty close - lets see if Kiwis fall for Nationals tax breaks or wether they can see through this election brib, I mean, ahem, incentive. Then again Labours made a botch of the buildup - sure they've had a good 6 years (unemployment down by 300000!) but trying to get anything positive across in the media hasn't been handled well at all.

Some good stuff from WinDevcenter -

Howto - Setting up webcam surveillance. Unfortunately for something so seemingly simple the software available for this doesn't seem to have progressed much since I did this with an old Mac LC and an original grey-scale Connectix QuickCam several years ago.

Annoyances - Ten Word Annoyances. I can vouch for the autocapitalisation thing being extremely annoying. Ditto the auto correct in Outlook (which I guess taps into Word) - why when I type "save into your My Documents folder" does it turn into - "you’re my Dcouments folder" ? Sigh.

SyncTool - Powertoy - SyncTool. Keep folders sync'd across multiple folders / systems.

Interesting article on some options for hacking HP JetDirect interfaces. Interesting that you can use nmap to launch stealth scans from the JetDirect interface (although I'm guessing you can fake from any device with an ip address so its probably not particularly unique).
