21:03:00 - Business.govt.nz
Sure it's got a Microsoft logo at the top, and asp in the url -- but I was surfing around the new business.govt.nz and ended up reading an article on technology basics. Got to love the outdated info you see, and the balanced articles, especially written by Microsoft about Apple.
Here something that fits into the basic knowledge you should have
"Apple claims that its top-end machines are faster than those running Windows. That is a matter of controversy; there are websites devoted to debunking Apple's claims."
Heh. Admittedly it does mention Motorola processors.. I think they went out with the dinosaurs. Intel now ain't it?
I'd better put a 'proper link' though:
business.govt.nz – the New Zealand government business site
business.govt.nz is a free and independent source of New Zealand business resources, and the fast way to find tools and information to help you start, manage or grow your business.
Some good info there.

22:09:00 - Sounds like my iPhoto library needs this too:
DOC looks for image archiving software
Ken LewisThe Department of Conservation is requesting information on how to consolidate hundreds of thousands of digital images scattered between numerous databases and PCs into one software package.
The department says it currently has 40,000 digital images in a central store, plus several hundred thousand images in other databases and many thousands more scattered across servers and PCs around the country.

My iPhoto Library currently has about 50,000 photos in it, and there is a stack of DVDs and CDs of photos (scanned and digital) in a box that need importing when I can be bothered. So yeah, DOC, i'll install iPhoto for you if you like, just don't ask me to tag them all. Maybe do a tag-yer-own thing like google. My stuff resides on the 3 TB of storage on my desk.
So yeah, a solution - iPhoto and websharing :)
Or just give everyone at DOC a flickr account, and use a series of group pools :)
