Google Reader's "Send to" Feature

Google Reader's "Send to" Feature: "Google Reader added a new feature that lets you share posts in other services: Twitter, Facebook, Digg. The feature is opt-in, so you need to go to the settings page, click on the 'Send to' tab and pick your favorite services.


After selecting an item, use the keyboard shortcut Shift+T to quickly open the 'send to' menu. Google Reader opens a new tab when you choose one of the 'send to' options and most of the necessary information it's already pre-filled.


If your favorite service is not included in Google Reader's list, you can add it from the settings page by clicking on 'Create a custom link'. Here's how to add a 'send to' option for Google Bookmarks.

And here's how to use AddToAny, a service that lets you select between many social sites.

Name: Add to Any

Google Reader added two other options: you can now subscribe to sites added to your contacts' profiles and mark as read items older than a day, a week or two weeks. The second option is useful if you have a lot of unread items and you only want to read the recent news. As you probably know, Google Reader automatically marks as read the items that are older than a month and this can't be changed.

Restarting a list of servers

Windows 2003 has an enhanced shutdown command which allows shutdown of
multiple servers.
Running shutdown -i brings up a dialog box where you can enter the
list of servers.
Remember it's always good practice to put shutdown comments the mean
something so looking back in the future you'll know what was done.

Posterous

Just found a new blogging site called posterous.  It's main feature is making blogging easy by having entries all sent via email.  While some people are used to having a web connection all the time, I find often I'm out and about and just want to do something quick and simple on my phone so being able to upload posts, photos, videos somewhere just by sending an email from the gmail client on my phone sounds great.

The only downside is it posts signatures too :)

Lets see if this works then...
