Can I put my own files on it? - Amazon maintains your library forever, and you can put PDFs on the kindle, with a little conversion. Maybe I can talk the company into buying me one so I don't have to print off all of those DPM manuals.

- My good friend Keith just bought a machine with 64 Bit Vista on it. I'm interested in hearing his experiences. Keith mentioned Start 64, a 64 bit web site as a great resource.

The Segmentish Type Thing
Following the Purse Strings - Who's paying for Twitter and why?

- Twitter receives $55 million Huh?
Mike is pretty sure that the thing that got blogs popular was the fact that everyone in silicon valley was out of work, and they had nothing better to do than write and read what others are writing. Is twitter going to get the same thing?

The post linked above goes on to say that Twitter's audience is what justifies the money, well how does that explain Yahoo?

Combatting Piracy - Valve gets it
Valve understands that to effectively combat piracy, you need to give people what they want at a fair price. They recently decreased L4D 75%, and they made 15% more than when the game launched. - http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090219/1124433835.shtml

What's Up?
Art has been getting in to Twitter a lot more lately. Starting to get back in to trying to learn something about C++.
Mike cleaned out his worm bin. Also, he may have ruined his Cannon Digital Camera. He also has been playing with the views and panels of drupal, but we need to upgrade our site.
With the help of Casey from Sci-Fi Surplus, Mike figured out how to record his Skype calls. Thanks Casey! This was the first podcast that we have used the process with, so hopefully it works out.

This weeks topic:
 Server and desktop best and worst practices.

- Swap File - It's a good idea to put your swap file on a separate drive. No advantage if it's a different logical drive on the same physical hard drive. You can argue about fragmentation, butfor goodness sake, don't compress it.
- Speaking of compression, don't compress your entire data and system drives.
- Have the floppy or CD as the first item in your bios' boot menu.
- Leave the default passwords intact.
- Don't back your server up.
- Don't test your backups
- Don't ever check out the logs for your backups
- Don't make sure that you have a backup agent for exchange / sql server / big application

If you’re a fan of the command prompt, batch files, or scripting, then you’re probably going to want to check out PowerShell. Powershell has been out for quite awhile, but more and more it’s going to become a very valuable administration tool.
