About me
An IT Architect, Technologies Analyst, Consultant, and blogger - I push the envelope in merging usability and reliability in the systems I design and support. As the IT Infrastructure Architect at Avatar Consultants, I am always looking to achieve more value from existing systems and upcoming projects. As a blogger, my biggest interests are "web 2.0", mobile technologies, blogging and the convergence of all these ideas.
Why I use Clipmarks
To have a consistent tool to clip, snip, archive, catalog and retrieve items of interest to me.

IE8 in private beta
rickmahn
by rickmahn  2-24-2008   
 It'll be interesting to see what Microsoft comes up with to compete with Firefox in this generation of the browser. Of course this time around we have Apple's Safari and the Opera browser to compare with too. I'm sure IE8 doesn't look very different, rather, it'll be the feature set that will need to be spiffed up, similar to Firefox 3...

 This is a great development in the OneCare service. Now if they can tie this into the Windows Home Server and tack on an online WHS backup service - that'd be great.

It's just business people
rickmahn
by rickmahn  2-4-2008   
 No matter how much you love/hate Microsoft (or Apple, Google, Oracle, Sun, etc...) it's just business. Our favorite tools, apps, 'puters, phones, services - you name it. It's somebody's bread & butter to buy or sell. Whether we like it or not. Obviously there are a lot of unhappy current and former Microsoft customers using Flickr. ;-)
