Three Pretty Servers

OK…

So this is really just a tease shot, yes.

Instead, think of it as a whetting of your appetite.

Essential Business Funcave

It’s officially unofficial…

My primary focus is shifting to Essential Business Server.

Well, not that SBS was ever really a focus for me. Still don’t know how that happened.

But it doesn’t take a badge to push information that matters, right?

First up…

Virtualizing Essential Business Server (posts tomorrow)

Losing More Than It

You have to see this.

Watch closely at the start of the video, to see what lights this candle.

Office Worker Goes Absolutely Insane - Watch more free videos

That’s right, someone knocking over a stack of papers.

Here’s the last half, in color and with sound.

Office Worker Meltdown Second Angle - Watch more free videos

What I really don’t understand is…

There’s a door. More than one. So why didn’t more of those folks use one and get the h-e-double-hockey-stick out?

When crazy people go crazy, it’s time to get as far away from them as humanly possible.

Watch closely for how this guy get subdued. Please tase him, bro!

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Survey

Thanks to everyone who was in New Orleans earlier this month, and who took the time to fill out the mobility survey. Some awesome info there.

Erick “Pimp Mastah” Simpson happened to uncover a weird little something today. Prolly having to do with the curious interaction of permissions that allows the SharePoint survey to work with totally anonymous logins.

Erick found that if he submitted the survey without filling something in the comment section, it dumped his responses with nary a squawk.

So if you filled it out the survey, but didn’t put something in each section…yours might have hit The Great Bit Bucket In The Sky.

Feel free to fill it out again, if you’d like:

Best way to know if it took your response? See if the response count increments by 1 after you submit yours.

And just so ya know…the only reason I ask for an e-mail address?

Well, there are really 2 reasons…

• To say “Hey thanks!”
• To get the mailing info for folks who requested discs.

But if you don’t want either, then feel free to put something bogus for your e-mail address. No one else will ever see it.

You can also sound off about the pirate ROM issue. Which is really an issue with the way official ROM updates are distributed now. Here’s the pirate ROM survey:

Let it all hang out. The responses to the pirate survey have been VERY interesting.

Are You Going To WPC?

I am. And I hope to see you there!

Man, is this my shortest post ever, or what?
