Internet…
We recently had a festa in Barcelonetta and some bright spark decided to use the local telephone exchange box in the piazza as the place to attach their firework display.
The end result was a great fireworks show and the box melting, frying the cables and fusing the wires. The end result being no telephone or internet for 80% of the community in this part of town. The trunk for my street has just been laid and connected – so I’m back online and picking up mails at last.

VirtualBox – Virtual Machine Client
I looked around and tried various VM Clients before finding one that suited my needs. I wanted something free, actively developed and a forum that was active (there’s always teething problems). Ideally they embraced the OVF standard for VM’s and supported the “in-development” OS’s from both MS and the Open Source Community — in the end there was only one choice – VirtualBox
One of the great things about the VirtualBox client is that it supports headless virtual machine and implements an RDP interface to them. Allowing you to easily connect & control it from both Windows and *nix.
Just point the RDP client to the IP Address of VM Host & using the port displayed – you essentially have a console connection to it. There’s some handy extras like clipboard and folder sharing, private networks and dynamic virtual HD’s.

Aptana PHP Development Environment
Develop apps with the Aptana IDE and deploy from within the IDE directly to the Aptana cloud. Supports SVN, Staging and live – very handy and very cool.
