I moved house @ the weekend and as a result wanted to get rid of some old stuff. I found the nearest rubbish dump and joined the queue. I sat in my car for fifteen minutes or so afterwhich I decided that I could end up waiting for a very long time so

Let it Snow let it Snow Let it Snow and thank goodness for Technology!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the community launch of Vista, Office and Exchange today in Reading. It was a fantastic success judging by both what I saw and the feedback of the audience. Like many other people I struggled with the snow this morning.

Welcome back. Here's how to get hold of Vista and Longhorn and make the most of TechNet Plus

So close to passing an assessment - time for Coffee and Porridge!

I came into the office early this morning to avoid the traffic and was rewarded with a nice quick easy journey. After responding to some email requests I decided to take on a piece of mandatory training. There's not a great deal of mandatory training
