spectrum memories

just saw this and it bought back memories. Aaah how i remember the kempton joystick and throwing it across the room when a next level load failed...

To be completely accurate i (my dad) had an apple IIe before a spectrum and it had floppy disks which were reliable. There never seemed to be any games out.
I certainly remember being jealous of the amstrad/commodore people.

Anyway here's what triggered my thoughts - brings a tear to the eye.
and some more to bring back memories - i remember my eyes hurting from playing renegade too much....

killzone2 comment

After playing killzone2 for a few weeks, a couple of comments. I've reached general and top 10% and been very addicted. Now the initial fun is over im feeling like something is missing...

... and then i found this - it emcompasses all my thoughts, so here's the link!

CRM Portal

At the moment i'm about to try and install the Dynamics CRM 4.0 e-service accelerator on Microsoft's open source site - codeplex.

http://www.codeplex.com/crmaccelerators/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=19956

I'll update this post when i have some conclusions.

==update==

The portal seems good although it takes some setting up which needs to be quite exact. As we already run the c360 portal it's very similar. Its a good start but customising the look is not easy given the complexity of the example site although it should be possible with a couple of days fiddling.

The main issues seem to be bugs in editing the configuration within crm - ensure you only edit the existing xml field, customisation difficulty and its doesnt allow users to filter their cases very well (only configurable globally).

Overall though a great addition to the CRM toolkit. I'll be taking a look at the notification e-accelerator addon later.

I've been working hard writing content for my wiki site. Over the years i have lost more cisco configs than i care to think about because of moving jobs, carelessness etc. So finally i have managed to get something sorted. Basically i am putting all our diffent deployment examples from work online (over time (we have hundreds) and after sanitisation).

Hopefully over time it will become a useful repository of info for anyone who struggles with getting up and running with Cisco devices. The format of a wiki should allow others potentially to get involved if interested.

Cisco Configuration Examples from Cornwall

wouldn't normally put this here but...

this is really handy for reference. Click to enlarge.

what i've been up to

I've been working on a new wiki containing useful and simple guides to cisco configuration: Cisco Cornwall. Its not the most exciting of pages, but as every time i learn a new bit of kit i have to wade through pages of info i think itll be useful if only as a personal repository.

If anyone wants a logon to add to its contents drop me an email.

Separately killzone came out and it arrived on thursday - some controversy over the aiming style vs COD - with resident evil 5 out in a couple of weeks i'm going to be busy till COD6 comes out (New maps for COD 5 any day!).
