I’m sure if I had enough money to buy a F355, I’d have enough free time to finish my project

A friend of mine, Paul Synnott, has a new project, php121, an online, client-less Instant Messaging tool for websites & communities etc, surf on over & have a look if that kind of thing floats your boat

A friend of mine, Robert, is on the committee for the Northern Ireland Charolais Club, the club usually runs a BBQ during the summer (with some fine charolais steaks!) as a fund raiser, this year was the biggest that I’ve been to so far, apparently over 800 people turned up! Friends of ours, Chris & Cheryl flew back for the special event. Now, Chris is notoriously conservative when it comes to spending money, which is why it came as a huge shock to us (and his fiance!) that he was the winning bidder on a life size, anatomically correct, plastic cutout of a Charolais Bull. Wonders will never cease.

Near our old office, a man was beaten & stabbed to death, by our new office, another was gunned down. Great eh?

Subject: [opennms-announce] OpenNMS Named Winner of the Best Systems Management Tools Category at LinuxWorld
Gang:
I thought you might enjoy one the following press releases. Thanks
for helping to create the community that makes OpenNMS possible. Give
yourself a round of applause.
PITTSBORO, NC – 9 August 2005 – OpenNMS has won a Product Excellence
Award at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo being held in San
Francisco. The open-source network management application was chosen
as the winning solution in the “Best Systems Management Tools” Category.
OpenNMS was chosen out of a field that included IBM’s Tivoli
Intelligent Orchestrator, Novell’s ZENWorks 7 Linux Management
product and Userful’s DiscoverStation.
OpenNMS is the first enterprise-grade network management product to
be developed using the open-source model. It was designed from day
one to be able to monitor tens of thousands of devices from a single
instance of the application, and it aims to offer a better
alternative to expensive commercial products such as Hewlett-
Packard’s OpenView, Micromuse Netcool, and IBM’s Tivoli. The software
is freely available and is supported by an international community of
users and developers.
The current development release, known as version 1.3.0, includes
enhancements such as support for SNMP version 3, the ability to
monitor JMX-based application servers such as JBoss, and improved
event management through the use of alarm reduction.
