My one and only blog post specifically about my knee was on 17th February 2010. I’d intentionally not talked about it all that much here as I try to stay around a techie theme (not always successfully) and didn’t want this to turn into a knee rehab blog. It’s been hard enough for me to
How’s the book reading going?
Back in February I explained about the book reviews I’d started posted on the site. I was trying to be more consistent with my reading so thought keeping track of what I’d actually read would help. Also writing book reviews would help me keep in the blogging habit. Finally, I hoped that anyone who might

Good Luck Bill English
I saw this blog post when I got into the office this morning announcing big changes for Bill English. He’s changing his role at MindSharp so that his day to day role is more focussed on the business side of things than the technical. His blog post fully explains why but in short he wants

Book Review – When Sysadmins Ruled The World
I guess this doesn’t technically count as a book as it’s actually a short story…but I enjoyed it so much I wanted to write about it anyway!

Making money by giving stuff away
One of my new favourite authors is Cory Doctorow. His book Little Brother was the first I read on my Kindle and caught my eye because it was available under a Creative Commons License. I’m working my way through the rest of the books Cory has written but one thing I look forward to with

Retro Computer Museum–May 2011

Book Review–Little Brother
This is the first book I read entirely on my Kindle and I stumbled across it totally by accident. I was browsing around the GoodReads site (which if you’re a reader it’s worth signing up for – it’s like the worlds largest book club!) and I was looking at lists that some of my favourite

SBS 2011–Most important SBS release ever?
Microsoft announced about a week ago that SBS 2011 standard is now fully available from volume licensing through to OEM. I think this latest release of Small Business Server is a significant one for many reasons. Lets go back a few years and a couple of versions and you’ll find working with Small Business Server
