Just had a quick test drive of LogMeIn Free and must say I’m highly impressed with the product. The ease in which remote control of another pc is setup makes it a very effective tool for support issues.
LogMeIn Free gives you fast, easy remote access to your PC.
Interesting article on management of Geeks.. I’m sure most people have had to deal with more technically inclined people at one time or another. I can identify and agree to most points made in the interview.
If you don’t want to lose your geeks, you have to find a way to give them promotions without turning them into managers. Most of them are not going to make very good executives — and, in fact, most of them would probably turn out to be terrible managers. But you need to give them a forward career path, you need to give them recognition, and you need to give them more money.

I’ve been using Mindmaps for pretty much anything that requires recording (meeting minutes, project information, etc). My favorite program is MindJet‘s MindManager. The only real feature I would see lacking is the lack of revision control and colloborative functions to make it easier to share maps with co-workers. Naturally the news of Mindomo’s beta was exciting news since it would make sharing of maps much easier. Think if this could be integrated into Google Apps would make it even more compelling!

I’ve been using Google Apps to power On9 Systems for sometime. The great thing about Google Apps? It gives me the flexibility to host email/calendar and documents there while having web hosting on On9 System’s server. This gives me the ability to create applications and host them locally.
Am also experimenting with ways to create a support forum for customers using Google Groups. At the moment, I’ve got a wordpress blog at support.on9systems.com but think its prob better to use a discussion forum.
Have been considering getting a new tablet to replace my 3 year old IBM ThinkPad X31 and have been hearing good reviews about the Fujitsu P1610. With my recent subscription to M1’s Broadband plan, this sure seems like a good deal?

I develop Tablet PC applications in my course of work but after watching this video, you’ll be wondering what the future of interface design and interaction holds for us? Would be really interesting to see what the upcoming iPhone (which has similar concepts on a smaller scale) can do for Tablet computing.

Got an email this morning that I’ve got tokens to invite friends to try out Joost. Just sent them out to try this cool p2p video program. Would be real cool if we could get free streaming on-demand programming (of anything showing!) in the future.
I run Microsoft Windows XP Media Centre Edition 2005 for our home entertainment system. A P3 on Windows XP equipped with Raid-5 500GB storage takes care of the backup requirements for all the important files in the house.
Thus when Windows Home Server was announced, I was definitely interested to join in the beta since it would allow me to run a single box to backup data and have remote access capabilities. Am a bit late (apparently there’s a queue of 25,000!) but have just signed up and awaiting an invite to test Beta 2 of WHS.

Discovered a nice service for DNS that not only provides a faster DNS lookup but also corrects spelling errors. It even offers anti-phishing at the DNS level!
What is OpenDNS? OpenDNS is a better DNS, free to all. OpenDNS uses its distributed network of DNS servers to speed up your Internet experience, increase reliability, improve security and make DNS smarter for users all over the world.
