Bootcamp + More
Lots of commentary around Apples 'Bootcamp' release allowing you to run WindowsXP on the new Intel Macs - from Daring Fireball and John Siracusa of ArsTechnica.
Fantastic - Neatpatch. Tidy your rack cables away in their own horizontal drawers rather than coiled up or hanging loose in your comms rack.
A new twist on USB memory - Inflatable USB Memory Stick. The more you add the bigger it gets.
Now sporting dual DVI for multi-monitor goodness - New Sun Rays. If only more people would accept network computing into their lives it would make an admins job much easier :-)
Funky - Wireless SCART Plug. Grab the output and fire it off to another SCART device wirelessly.
Possibly the ultimate tree-house - Tree Sphere.
Another useful guide to DFS - Configuring and using DFS Replication. Modern SANS can do this type of thing without being tied to a particular OS too (eg cache & replicate data).
Fascinating - Core Wars. Evolution in action via a glorified game of 'Life'.
Be sure to scroll all the way to the right as this is one *long* page - Evolutionary timeline webpage.
Looks useful Basic guide to procmail.
Useful - Getting started with Nagios 2.1. I believe the confg stuff changed radically so it didn't seem like a simple job migrating from an older version the the new one - this basic guide helps recreate some of the basics though.
