Hello Dear Blog Readers,

(hmmm....that kinda sounds like the beginning of one of those SPAM emails)

I wanted to let you all know I am moving on from Microsoft and shall no longer be blogging here. I'll be moving an archive of these posts to my website http://www.greenitstrategy.com and shall continue blogging there on Green IT.

So what will I be doing now?

Well, I have decided to take some time off, write a book and maybe look into starting my own business. Regardless, you can always catch me through my website and please do feel free to visit me there.

Thank you to everyone who contacted me with their Green IT questions over the past two years and gave me feedback. I really appreciate your support and good luck with your own Green IT initiatives.

Kind Regards,

Bianca AKA Little Miss Enviro Geek

New MSDN Environmental Blog: "The Power of Software"

biwirth — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 23:00:00 GMT

A new MSDN blog has been created by the Patterns and Practices team, focussing on optimising software development to conserve energy use...

"Welcome to The Power of Software blog, a new undertaking by the patterns & practices team. As you may know, our traditional focus has been on building guidance that helps software architects and developers successfully design and build applications.

This blog is a slight departure from that. We’re exploring ideas relating to Green IT and the ways we, as a company, can use energy more efficiently. Some currently planned subjects include ways to save energy through the use of software and ways to optimize datacenters. All posts will be written or reviewed by subject matter experts, just like other patterns & practices projects.

We hope this starts a dialog with the community—please let us know the topics that interest you."

The first blog post is written by Mike Manos, Head Data Centre honcho, and Christian Belady, Principal Power and Cooling Architect @ Microsoft, on using PUE (a data centre power measurement for energy efficiency). Check it out at: http://blogs.msdn.com/the_power_of_software/
