Utah is not exactly a hotbed of coffee drinkers and coffee lovers.. In fact with the LDS faith being predominant most coffee produced is downright dreadful.
A couple of exceptions – Coffee Garden at 9th and 9th in Salt Lake is consistently good; as is Juice n Java in Provo.
Starbucks is a reliable standard too; when we moved here four years ago there were three stores. Now there are dozens. We stopped by our newest local store tonight – on Highland Drive at about 7800 South.
Finally pulled my finger out and went to sit the ISEB ITIL Foundation Certificate exam.
Usual laziness – book the exam, read the book, sit the exam. 40 multiple choice questions; over in less than 10 minutes. I passed.
HP sauce. Food of the gods. Made in Birmingham for years.
Even my good friend Alan from Halifax, Nova Scotia loves it.
HP sauce. Perfect on sausages, greasy fry-ups, veggy burgers, chops – pretty much anything.
The company that bought out the HP brand are now threatening to move production; not to another site within the UK; but to Holland.
Not unsurprisingly there is uproar in Birmingham. Now there is even an online petition – http://www.saveoursauce.co.uk. I urge all HP sauce lovers to show their support.

… there was Planet Novell.
Apologies. I paraphrased and plagiarised.
A planet is “a flexible feed aggregator” – in other words a centralised, ephemeral collection of similar(ish) themed blog posts. A popular implementation is at Planet Planet!
Planet Novell was a pretty busy, reasonably well known site. It has been gone for a while.
Why mention it now?
One thing that was mentioned in the ‘Cool Blogs 1.5‘ project was aggregating Cool Blogs posts from the bloggers own blogs.
A logical extension of this is to resurrect the Novell Planet concept – and really combine all feeds from all Novell bloggers. Not Cool Blogs – where generally we tend to stick to blogging about Novell and our technology but everything from these bloggers – and more. That means posts from Nat, Miguel, Reverend Ted, Michael Meeks – pretty much everyone from Novell and SUSE who blogs – even me.
What do you think? It’ll certainly be an interesting additional insight into how Novell operates – and there’s likely to be a lot of non-technology blogging. A useful companion site to Cool Blogs; or not?
Let us know! We’re going to be working next week in our staging lab testing a lot of the new features.

Hot off the WordPress subversion mill – here’s WordPress 2.0.3
Security updates and a few niceties – it works for me so far.
Everyone in IT knows that Dilbert works at their office. It’s so true of Novell.
Here’s an online archive of ten years worth of Dilbert cartoons. Not searchable – but a wealth of fun.
