Free VMWare

Just seen this. Apparently VMWare have decided to provide their VMWare Server product free of charge in an attempt to get people to use their product over Xen open source or Microsft's Virtual Server products. Personally I LOVE VMWare and it's my virtual tool of choice.

Who Ya Gonna Call?

Some of you might be aware that I'm a member of the UK Garrison, A Star Wars and Movie Costuming club here in the UK.

We attend various events around the UK (we've also been to Macau in China and Monaco in France), raising money for charity (last year we raised over £25,000 for various kids charities).

As well as having a Jedi, Stormtrooper and Darth Vader costume my latest addition is by far my favourite - a Ghostbuster.

In fact I've been bitten so badly by the Ghostbuster bug (which is one of my all time favourite films), that I've now decided that I want to have my own Ecto-1. So if anyone "out there" knows the whereabouts of a

1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor limo style combination (Hearse/Ambulance) endloader

please let me know as after all us Ghostbusters need to travel in style. It doesn't matter where in the World it is.

If you want to see me in costume use the following link, although since this picture was taken I've made a few changes to improve the costume and I've still got a few tweaks to make yet
