Rabbit & Pork

This is the title of Neil Peart’s new DVD release. From the website…

“Presents newly-recorded, in-studio footage of Neil discussing, in detail, his approach to soloing. Using a solo recorded in September, 2004 in Frankfurt, Germany, as a framework, Neil talks about each segment of this nine-minute tour de force that is a feature of each Rush performance. He describes the inspiration and the conceptual thinking behind each part of the solo and discusses, and often demonstrates, the technique necessary for playing that segment.”

I’ve seen various release dates, all around December of this year, but having just checked the above page you can now order even for us non-US types.

So, I’ve ordered, perhaps it will arrive for Christmas. I’ll review it some time.

In February of this year, Alfresco was just a set of ideas, designs and long list of questions - including “what do we call this thing?”.

Roll on eight short months, and Alfresco v1.0 is released on 1st Nov, in two forms, open source & enterprise network.

First day sourceforge stats are:
alfresco-jboss-1.0.0.tar.gz 242
Download alfresco-jboss-1.0.0.zip 5236
Download alfresco-src-1.0.0.zip 2900
Download alfresco-tomcat-1.0.0.tar.gz 451
Download alfresco-tomcat-1.0.0.zip 2480
Download alfresco-war-1.0.0.zip 212

Not bad at all, now the fun is really starting as we engage with all sorts of users.

Well done guys - we need / deserve a beer.
