Hello again. The sever has been powered off for the last 7 days during my recent move to Milford, MA. My wife and I purchased our first home and we are very happy. Frankly I could have turned the server on a week ago with only a few hours of downtime, but I have been so busy I just let it sit in the basement amongst the hundreds of boxes and toys in the playroom.

OK, so short but sweet. The next big event is twins in 2 weeks! Yep, thats just two weeks away. I will post again as soon as I get a moment to breathe.

Schools warned against signing up for software from Microsoft

Schools should not sign software licensing deals with Microsoft because of the computer giant’s alleged anti-competitive practices, a government watchdog has warned.

I started to email this article around to people and then I decided to let you all know. Its a short blurb, but as always the comments on digg are worth a read. Its also a good time to bring this up to people, there are a million better/cheaper ways to equip your school then MS (or any other group/individual without unlimited resources); especially in a time when that money could be better spent on books, supplies, and needed programs. Just my 2c though.

Web Visualization
This stuff is amazing. I work in this industry yet I am blown away everyday by new ideas. Frankly its hard to keep your head on straight sometimes.

On another note I was hacked this month for the first time (at least that I know of). Luckily for me it was just a script kiddie who stopped by and no major damage was done, except the flood of udp packets coming from my house for the last few weeks. Ahh the web. I have patched the stupid vulnerability that I myself created (it was an amateur mistake, I am ashamed) and all is well. Til next time.

It just felt like it was time to change the theme of the site, something more clean and inviting. So, welcome, again…
