There have been a slew of high profile Drupal sites released recently.
"The open source content management system (CMS), Drupal, continues to gain popularity both locally and internationally. The CMS powers several new high profile websites including the Prime Minister's site, launched last month and designed by Canberra-based company OPC IT and ABC's three digital radio websites – Dig Music, ABC Jazz and ABC Country. Internationally, it is used by organisations as diverse as Obama's administration in the US to Greenpeace to McDonalds."

The Cisco Unified CME system supports features you would come to expect from a time-division multiplexing (TDM) PBX or key system. These features can be divided into four categories: system, phone, trunk, and voice mail features. The major features in each category are included in the following list (current as of CME Version 4.3):

This is a really trendy idea - not big difference in terms of functionality - purely on the aesthetic side...

Google had to eventually threaten the Microsoft OS stranglehold. They could not in all conscience not do so. See their announcement here for some details of this very key development:

It's worth enabling SSH in nearly every case for normal day to day remote access. This is mainly due to the inherently insecure nature of its little brother - TELNET, which is completely un-encrypted and therefore sniffable on any network.

Here's how:

R2(config)#ip domain name cisco.com
R2(config)#crypto key generate rsa
The name for the keys will be: R2.cisco.com
Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your
General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take
a few minutes.

We've had some issues recently, so I wanted to apologise for those and tell you that they are now resolved (or so my service provider tells me...)

here is a history for the last few weeks - look what a bad cable can do to your reliability!

I have often wondered when Google would begin to develop an alternative to the windows platform - something for the rest of us...

But it is already out there in plain sight - just smuggled under the radar in the form of a "phone operating system".

Take a look at this post from Engadget - there is a video clip of a "smartbook" - an ASUS Eee PC prototype running google's "Android" on a 1GHz Snapdragon chipset. It is incredible, and the power use is so low that they didn't need to include a fan...
