Interesting video interview on Channel 9 with Bill Gates. Find out what he thinks about the Web and what the future holds for software. Microsoft have really become much more transparent lately.

We’re always interested to hear how Macro Scheduler is being used and how it benefits people. It’s helpful for other people to […]

Thou shalt not waste time doing repetitive and mundane tasks
This is the 10th commandment of system administration according to Brian Warshawsky’s article “Ten Commandments of system administration” over at NewsForge. I couldn’t agree more.
