I've got a Windows 2008 VPS for a little project I'm working on and found that I needed to use Telnet to test that a port was working ocrrectly, thinking this would be the quickest way. Wrong - Telnet client isn't installed by default so it would seem at last that Microsoft make you install every no essential tool / program as you need it so thumbs up to that.
So I had to install Telnet client as a Feature details can be found here: http://www.elmajdal.net/Win2k8/How_To_Enable_Telnet_In_Windows_Server_2008.aspx

ﾠThis week I purchased a book I already had in paper form for the iPhone, which I only did because I forgot to pack my it in my bag for my Morning commute, and really wanted to finish the book. So on ITunes store the book was only £2.99 so I thought I would give it ago. To be fair I wasn't expecting much, but was very surprised, it was very easy to read, and found myself not picking up the paper book again, and so finished reading on the phone.
The beauty was that I could read it any where I was, and I mean anywhere ;) But it gave me the option to carry on reading the book while on a packed train where you don't have much space, which was a bonus for me. So if there are any O'reilly you want to read and you have an iPhone try out their books on the App Store.
I've done a book review for the UKCFUG on Web 2.0 Architectures, really good read peeps!
Having upgraded via a clean install to Snow Leopard at Christmas, I'm still finding little things that I need to tweak in my systems prefs.
Todays' one was being able to tab through the buttons in a dialogue, I didn't want to keep going to the mouse while my hands where firmly on the keyboard.
So if you go to Apple Menu » System Preferences » Keyboard » Keyboard Shortcuts tab and at the bottom ensure All Controls radio button is selected. Then it makes using OS X from the keyboard a lot easier :)
