'via Blog this'
Too bad it is just Blogger Specific.. But sure goes quick.
By this I mean, the Blog-This Extension that connects to blogger.com.. Link is above.
After this post I went and found a similar plug in that ties into some other content pages... All told these methods are easier than going to a web site, opening a new post, writing etc. If one can work in an extension the subject is at hand while one is actually writing... rather than this blank white sheet on this edit page I find myself in here.

You think you need one Server do you?
If you read the marketing spiel a Windows Server will do 1000 things. If you try to use a Windows server however you may easily find that you need, in fact 2, 3, 5 or 10 Servers to do all the work that is asked of it.
Take a look at the Terminal Server Farm here:
I dont even know if the Domain Controller is listed, much less the backup Domain Controller.
One Server for Licensing. One Server for Load Balancing, etc etc. Dont forget DNS. Don't forget Wins. Don't forget.. ad infinitum.
All this takes a lot of time to implement, not to speak of hardware and licensing expense. And then there is power. Virtualization helps, but the last I read, certain roles are not recomended for virtualization.. Domain Controlling is one. The Slowness of Virtualization would call into question having your Terminal Server be virtualized. Maybe the licensing server. Perhaps a backup Domain Controller, the DNS server etc (why are those not part of the primary Domain Control Role anyway). I suppose they generally are, but redundancy makes its call.
Terminal Services are, for sure, great tools. A functioning server can generally be accomplished more easily than the picture shows. Still, some very high costs are out there, especially if you are pushing the OS up from the client level.
Time to research VNC again.

Google Pulling the Plug on Notebook..
One of the best pieces of software from Google, and for that matter anyone, has been Google Notebook. Unfortunately, back in 2008, after I had been using it for about a year, Google stopped allowing new signups. They told all of us users that our Data is not going anywhere... we just couldn't do the cool sharing we had been doing... at least not with new invites.
Well here we are 3 years later and the data is going away. Well, actually they are exporting it all to Google Docs. I just did a "test export" before their auto export... At least something.
I will miss Google Notebook. I have been using Evernote in its stead. No where near as good for my usage, except for the fact that it actually works on my Phone plus my Computer... G Notebook certainly could have pulled this off.
What is the difference? I think it is the Hierarchy that could be made in Google Notebook. The Notebook, Sections and Notes part, with the ability to very very easily move things around, search and more.
And what of Trust? Well we thought Google Notebook would be for the long term. We assume, from the name, that Evernote will be forever. None of it. Palm notes are dead. I expect X-Marks maybe short for the world. Organize and make redundant. About all we can do it seems. Try Tracks Appliance and do it yourself: Keep on top of it. Try to recreate Google Docs. This might be the best solution.
