And recycle! Seriously, if we might as well make use of this vast, unused (obsolete) resource.

Utilities 2003 (for XP even) - in my best Ronco Voice ever

I must have been living under a rock (or I was absent that day), when I missed the Windows 2003 Resource Toolkit. A really nice collection of utilities for those laborious tasks that a well-defined batch file usually solves and more (now how much would you pay?). And if you act now you can also get a GUI front-end for RoboCopy.exe. All for absolutely free.

Yes I DO get a commission. How much is 10% of nothing?

Is it bigger than a breadbox?

What does an agile process look like? I would contend it is what does an agile process feel like. Similar to Socrates, while searching for the truth - and not having a good enough definition to even qualify what truth is. We need to search anyway. Hopefully, we will be wise enough to recognize it when we do find it. Is it the same with agile?

Build Bunny - way cooler than Lava-Lamps!

Long have I wanted to implement a continuous build process that had 2 lava-lamps (green/red) indicating the success and failure of the build. I've been trumped by the Build Bunny. I stumbled across this on Greg's Site and I'm absolutely sold! Copious use of the Nabaztag API is all that's required. I wonder if this will fly with my boss?

Drivel (not dribble!)

Trying Drivel for the first time. Seems easy enough. Simple,clean interface (I love the GNOME desktop) an it supports half a dozen different blog-types. Worth looking into if you are using Ubuntu or another alternative.
