When test center analysts and editors aren't busy writing reviews, what are they doing? Blogging! There's lots of bloggy goodness today, with information that can make life in your data center more productive, more efficient, and more interesting.
First, Geeks in Paradise continues to left the curtain and show what's been going on behind the "Pimp My Data Center" series. Brian's insight is good because it's so easy to forget about all the physical infrastructure that has to be changed whenever major upgrades come to the data center.
Next Sustainable IT looks at the difference between IT and politics, and where IT professionals (and their vendors) can most profitably spend their time. Ted points out that time spent lobbying congress is time that isn't being spent developing and encouraging best practices in the industry. It's not that each isn't important: the real question is where an industry group should focus its time and efforts.
Finally, Martin Heller looks at how to set up Microsoft tools for Silverlight development work in the Strategic Developer. As with virtually all development environments, how you set up your systems will determine just how productive you can be, and Martin's made some interesting discoveries in that will make an enormous difference if Silverlight is part of your team's world.
