Royal Pingdom » When data center cabling becomes art

We have posted pics of some truly messy data center cabling in the past, but this time we figured it was time to do the opposite: Show how some people have managed to organize cables into something close to art.

So yes, it’s been a bit of a while since I last made a real entry here at Dev-Toast. The reason is really far beyond the scope of this website. For the longest time I’d been using Microsoft Word as my blogging editor and then posting directly from word. Then I was using Adobe Contribute CS3, which is great… if you only use Internet Explorer…

While stumbling around on the net with StumbleUpon, I found Windows Live writer. The big thing about it is that essentially what you see is really what you get. It downloads the CSS from your weblog so that you’re editing is done inside the constraints of the CSS style sheet. Very slick indeed. Keep checking back here for a full review on the HTC Kiaser also known as the AT&T Tilt among a plethora of other names.
