Holiday Work

The 1st day of 2008 has been one of my most productive ever. Like Dilbert.

I spent the day getting my house in order - literally. Man, I  have accumulated a lot in my ten years at Microsoft including a staggering array of mobile phones, largely Windows Mobile but also some others like Vodafone GX series. I really want to make some sort of museum of the mobile devices as it would look great. Some early Windows Powered device prototypes in there with memory boards sticking out the back and an original XDA prototype with BT on it (rather than O2).

Also various XBOX's and associated hardware but worst of all more cables than you can shake a stick at. I'm convinced I have a cable for almost every occasion here. I have several bags of stuff that look snake infested and now need to find a responsible way of recycling them. Shout if any ideas pls.

With that done I've been busy getting my digital house in order by sorting out my media centre and consolidating numerous PC's to be backed up on to 1 Lacie 500GB backup unit.

All that and I've been keeping up with the geek news via Twitter which I am now officially sold on. More on that soon.

  Steve, you should be using WHS to consolidate your backups of your home PCs. This is a fantastic product and we couldn't live without it in our house. It has already saved our bacon when one of the PCs main disk failed, restore was a pleasure with this bit of software (note using OEM version here).

  Don't worry about the stuff being out of date - I've got rid of 7-8 year old pieces of kit on there no problem. Better than it filling some landfill somewhere.

  Before you recycle them all, please stick a photo of the entire lot on here for us to remember old gadgets!
