Umm – help !?

Have fired up a Virtual PC image, and trying to  log-in – not good when the “Administrator” account is locked-out !

Creative Code: 14 Ways to Learn From Creative Programmers | LifeDev

Saw a link from Chris Geier (K2), about how we should look to computer programmers for inspiration – with regard to “creativity” :

Link Junk

A few quick web sites that I found while poking about on the interwebs, and had some shortcuts to from some when or other.

Received an email this morning :
