Terracode Book Server – Server on a bookshelf
Site TerraCode.com tells about a project to create a Windows Home Server based system that looks like a book and quitely sits on a bookshelf while serving music and video to PS3 or XBox360.

The most fun part of it is that it’s “Do-it-yourself” project with details on the parts and steps to perform. Looks real cool to me. I probably would not put clear plastic on top – I am not that concerned that guests will try to stick their fingers into the insides — but otherwise I’d love to create one for myself, if I would have time. Hats off to Terracode.com for a beautiful idea!

MS-HUG Day 2
Well, unlike day 1, I was unable to dedicate a whole lot of time to the convention.
The only thing that I can attest to is that my discussion with Mark Singh brought some interesting ideas for the components of SEMRHIO
I also met with Eric Battalio again where I was grilled for more about an hour and a half. “Hands around my neck squeezing hard andforcing me to tell how documentation can be better.” Or something like that 🙂
Actually it was a great discussion, we discussed things that I did not like about the documentation, above and beyond my Documentation Rant.Hopefully something will come out of that, maybe some enhancements to the core product, some changes to the coreMSDN site, and other things. I hopethat documentationwill no longer be a second rate citizen in the eyes of Microsoft. My feelings that if thereis betterdocumentation (some documentation is better than others granted), but how we, the unenlightened, actually interact with thedocumentationthatmore resources of MS could be dedicated to making better software and not so many resources dedicated to supporting it.
I once again brought up that I use Google almost exclusively compared to Live Search because of the hit ratio.
Wanted – Best Practices for Configuring and Using the new R2 WCF Adapters
I am looking to document “best practice” experiences in configuring and using the new R2 WCF adapters so others can learn from the mistakes/recommendations made by others. If you have anything to contribute I would greatly appreciate it. Either post recommendations here or email me directly at [email protected] with “WCF Adapter Best Practices” in the heading. I am working to compile a list and publish it by end of October. Thank you!
