I read about some neat software awhile ago. In order to bring better signal-to-noise meaning to email, the software gives email users a fixed number of points each day. Then people assign point values to emails they send, effectively weighting them. This way you can assume that when someone spends 20 of their daily 30 points on an email for you, its super important. And you can see based on trends that you may need to spend 5 points to have someone even notice your email. It’s definitely available as an outlook plug-in/addon as well.

Problem is I never bookmarked it and I can’t freaking find this product on Google! Ahh! 1 hour of searching and the signal to noise ratio is off the charts when searching for email, collaboration, etc.

Help.

This Slashdot article really got me thinking. 1.4 Terabytes for $2,000. Then you can start adding drives at will to increase your storage without incurring any penalties.

Get a CoolerMaster Stacker enclosure like this one (just the hardware not the software) that can hold up to 12 SATA drives. Install OpenSolaris and create ZFS pools with RAID-Z for redundancy. Export some pools with Samba for use as a NAS. Export some pools with iSCSI for use as a SAN. Run it over Gigabit Ethernet. Fast, secure, reliable, easy to administer, and cheap. Usable from Windows, Mac, and Linux. As a bonus ZFS let’s me create daily or hourly snapshots at almost no cost in disk space or time.
