SPEAKservers was at Digital-Overload 2008 and boy o boy was it a blast, there are numerous pictures and videos available from the SPEAKservers gallery.  Ben and myself were at the event all day every day, everyone that put it on including Tim Buckley (creator of CAD), Ni! (The LAN & Server guys), all the volunteers and of course the gamers that showed up.  We had a excellent time and handed out a bunch of free Teamspeak hosting.  It was a great time for all involved and if you have the means I suggest visiting it next year!

Microsoft has been slammed by the EU with a 899 Euro fine (~1.4Billion).

—

The European Commission, Europe’s top competition watchdog, fined Microsoft 497 million euros in March 2004 and ordered the company to open some key software to rivals so they could make compatible products.

In July 2006, the commission fined the company a further 280 million euros after determining that it was not respecting its original ruling.

The commission hit Microsoft with the new penalty, the sum of daily fines running from June 21, 2006 to October 21, 2007, because it said Microsoft had failed to charge rivals reasonable prices for access to key information about its work-group or back-office servers in contravention of the 2004 ruling.

Normally I hate living in Tucson due to well.. people.  But on days like today (61F Very sunny and a slight breeze) there is nothing better than just relaxing out side, or taking a motorcycle ride and just enjoying the sun.  I suggested that we move the NOC outside during the spring time to enjoy the outdoors… sadly I got a laugh for the suggestion.
