For the past 15 years I’ve been using multiple email addresses to try and separate up my email automatically. I have a main email account, one for developing, another for purchases, and another for mailing lists and so on.
Originally this was to try and keep the email addresses that would be low-priority out of my main inbox. It also helped to keep the spam low by ensuring that I had email addresses that were never publicized anywhere, keeping their content relatively clean.

I’m a sucker for the idea of having of multiple computing devices around the house doing and monitoring different things. I think it’s the childhood memories of lots of flashing lights on control panels marked with completely useless names.
I’ve been working with VirtualBox for the past couple of months as a potential replacement for Parallels. It’s not that I don’t like Parallels, quite the opposite, but VirtualBox has a few features I’m interested in taking advantage of.
Treehugger had a brilliant piece a few weeks about the statistics on computers and data centers.
The headline figure is amazing - 11.8 million servers in the USA in 2007. The disturbing one is that most of those machines run at 15% capacity or less, still idling and consuming power. Even more disturbing is that half of the power used to power data centers is required just to remove the heat they generate.
I was reading in Scientific American about how modern scientists and researchers are beginning to use web technologies, including blogs, wikis and social networks.
So-called Science 2.0 is trying to take advantage of the same technology used by other groups to provide tools for sharing knowledge, research notes and experience.
We're just about to get a new car, and, as a car fanatic, one of the first things you learn is that the power to weight ratio is important if what you want is speed.
I've been traveling around for the last few months all over the place and finding the availability of Wifi interesting.
I'm still amazed that I can get Wifi for free on the train down to London, even on a standard ticket, but strangely cannot get it for free in the first class lounge at Heathrow airport, or indeed, many other airports. Those in the US seem to offer it more readily, but even there, I had no access to free Wifi at SFO, but did in Orlando.
