I use a Windows Home Server to backup locally 2 desktop PCs and a couple of laptops in my home. For offsite storage for music, video and photos I have a http://mozy.com account.

The home server is awesome for performing hard drive replacements/upgrades and Mozy is a wonderful fail safe.

Yup. Now that the studio is nearing completion we can get back to using sets, chairs etc. We had to make do while we expanded our space.

Larry and folks have been working hard on our studio renovations. Very cool to see them almost complete. We definitely need to update the tour video now.

Good thread.

When we built features for Channel 9, they can often fit into a number of buckets, like:

• new areas of the site (like the new coding 4 fun area)
• bug fixes
• user suggestions

The feature above of the sharing via FB / Twitter was added to a number of areas in this minor update. We added the ability to share projects, show pages with the idea that when people do this it helps build awareness of the content to other users and more people coming to Channel 9.

One of the things we've often tried to do with the coffeehouse is treat these forum posts with more equality to our videos and with that allow people to share them on the same terms as they would other content.

Thanks for the feedback on what you want done with the forums.

Cool that you can now share posts in the Coffeehouse with Twitter/Facebook now.

One remark: 'See it in action' opens the Zune desktop software and then gives me an error "This can not be displayed" in my local language. Is that becaus I don't have a phone? The should stille be able to explore the apps rigth ? I'm not able to go to 'apps' under the marketplace section, the link is just not there.

Interesting, what is your locale? I suspect it could be that the marketplace is not available in your locale??

Yup, we saved the fun logo for coding 4 fun.
