On Wednesday, I was privileged to attend a “10 Year Awards Presentation Ceremony”, honouring a number of staff from the FLC and SAS who have been with UniSA for 10 years or more.

I and one of my Managers - Ian Reid, were amongst the recipients, having both commenced here in 1995.

It was quite interesting to hear the speeches about each person, and I was most pleasantly surprised by what our Director, Prof. Bruce King said about me.

Microsoft have released the companion to the recently released Windows Sharepoint Services service pack 2 - Download details: SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Service Pack 2.

And here’s the Australian IT article.

And here’s the demo site.

The simulation software that Roger, Michael, Shane, Neil, Mark and Courtney created has got a mention in this month’s UniSANews.

The word on the street is that there might be an article in tomorrow’s IT section of The Australian newspaper too.

Courtney finished up here on Friday, and will shortly be spending 12 months with her husband as a volunteer in Indonesia.

I use Firefox as my preferred browser, and at the moment I’ve found the Live Bookmarks feature the easiest way to track various RSS feeds of interest to me.

At a recent Adelaide SQL User Group meeting, Rob showed me an application running on his PPC device that I think was Egress. It made me think what I really want is an application that would run on my iPAQ that would grab the latest stuff from my RSS, but use the Live Bookmarks in my Firefox profile as the source of what RSS feeds to get.

Now I only have to build the thing :-)
