Toms Hardware has a story called XP in your Pocket about how to put everything you need to recover a Windows XP computer onto a memory stick. I love the concept. Unfortunately the article is reasonably long, with lots of things to add to the memory stick.

There is a story in the SMH today about how a child care centre in Ingleburn is being forced to close because they are on is being sold as part of development of old defence force land. There is a bright side to this. My local church has a child care centre, and I and the chairman of the congregation have agreed to serve on the board for 12 months. Neither of us wants to, but we feel that we need to since all the previous board members from the church are leaving at the end of this year. Anyway the closure is sure to ensure that our centre has 100% capacity.

I need to get some work done. I was hoping to get some hardware working here, but there is some type of incompatability between systems so I will need to wait a few days and do the work elsewhere. This will be a pain, but it will work. I have some testing to do right now, and some setup so that when I can work with hardware which works then I will know that things should work!
