Recycle - great use for an old Mac chassis.

Looks like an interesting book - appears to walk the thin line between bullshit and management-speak though - Peopleware. Nice quote - "A few very characteristic signs indicate that a jelled team has occurred. The most important of these is low turnover during projects and in the middle of well-defined tasks.

Handy - Extensive Collection of Firefox Extensions.

Useful - Linux Authentication against Active Directory.

Network monitoring - Useful win32 ports of network tools.

Neat - try Splatter for your Pollack fix.

Business Continuity - Ed Brill discusses the degree to which you must balance paranioa with BC/DR planning. What some of the comments fail to realise is that having an effective BC/DR plan can help in a whole range of situations not just in a major emergency. We once had half the business grind to a halt for half a day because a key file server rebooted and took 3 hours to checkdisk one morning - if there had been a secondary file server with a nightly robocopy it may have been possible to give people read only access to data so they could at least carry on working then copy back their changes when the main file server came back up.

Cool - I want a castle.

Kiwi Avant Garde artist - Len Lye. His 'waterwhirler' creation was installed as part of the 2006 Wellington Arts Festival on the waterfront. Very cool it is too.

Network discovery - Netdisco. Looks a little complicated but very useful.

Radio Enthusiasts - GNU Radio - Universal Software Radio Peripheral. Awesome.

I could barely solve one side of the originaly Rubiks cube let alone a Five Dimensional Rubiks Cube.
