Plurk is a fairly new social network. I just discovered it today, but it has been around since January this year. Most of my twitter friends are now on it as well.

The main difference to twitter is the horizontal scrolling timeline

What is your motivation for blogging?

I blog to stay sane. In grade school, we journaled so much and I began to miss that.  Sharing a journal with the rest of the world sounds like a pretty neat concept to me, so you can gear what you are writing about to interest others but still be random and personal.  Even though blogging is a release, I think there's also that underlying possibility of being "discovered" with blogging, whether its someone wanting you to blog more because they like your writing style, or finding a job where your brand of creativity would be appreciated.

I found many geek t-shirts in my closet, so that encouraged me to pick up blogging.  I have a corresponding G33k shirTz album on MySpace.

I am working late tonight - getting some stuff cleared before a busy day tomorrow so that I can focus on a client deadline.

So as a way of reducing the number of webpages I have open in Firefox (currently 52) here's a whole bunch that I am tagging to delicious and closing for later review.

SBS server 2008 RC0 released to public for beta trial. We will be dlwonloading and installing this in a Virtual Machine to trial. We will be upgrading from SBS 2003 later in the year when SBS 2008 is released. The screen shots I have seen so far look awesome.
