How to: Disable the Shutdown Event Tracker in Windows 2003
The idea behind the shutdown event tracker is that a server isn’t meant to be restarted or shutdown regularly. Therefore, when it is, Administrators should keep a log of exactly why the machine was powered down. Essentially, this can be a good thing since it allows you to store a database of shutdown events for future reference.

Australian drinks - Australian beer, wine, liqueurs, and spirits
The most popular beer nowadays is Victoria Bitter with a 30% market share while Fosters, despite its image as the Aussie beer due to overseas marketing, is usually only drunk by tourists. If you see anyone order or drink Fosters ask him where he's from, if he's an Aussie I'd like to hear about it, personally I have never seen an Aussie touch the stuff.

Custom House Numbers
Custom House Numbers

These Neutraface house numbers will make any dump look downright cool. Neutraface is a great font inspired by architect Richard Neutra and designed by House Industries. The custom made house numbers are available in stainless steel (satin or polished) and aluminum (silver or a variety of baked enamel colors). See the pricing calculator for cost. Here's to hoping you're address isn't 479455 Main Street — they charge by the number.
Victorinox retroALOX: 1GB aluminum swiss army knife

But it’s not just the capacity that makes this new SwissMemory Victorinox cool, it’s also a very different design from the previous version. Whereas the original device I had was finished in the traditional Swiss Army red plastic, this one is flanked by hard wearing textured aluminium.
Hiding inside the swanky aluminium casing you’ll find a pair of scissors, a knife and a nail file/screwdriver. Unlike the previous SwissMemory Victorinox, there’s no pen or torch integrated into this one. Of course you can buy a SwissMemory Victorinox with the red finish, which includes both the pen and a white LED torch, but it will cost you a little bit more.
The 1GB USB memory key folds out easily and can be plugged directly into a USB socket. The memory key can be removed completely from the knife, which is handy if you need to take it with you on a plane. Once removed it becomes apparent that this is one of the smallest 1GB memory keys you’re likely to find.

Excel as a database
As a developer, you've probably, at some unfortunate point in your life (possibly several points, actually), been handed an Excel file that has been crammed full of 'data' by someone in marketing and told to 'do something with it.'
