Does anyone know if it's possible to simulate a SAN on a PC? e.g. a VirtualPC session, or even on another machine, mounted as a SAN on the local machine? Whether the server is in Linux or Windows, preferrably the client will be available from Windows machines (e.g. via iSCSI, or a proprietary driver). This is just out of curiousity about a technology matter.

On a completely different note, based upon some feedback I've added a new category - Everything - that all posts will go to (well unless I forget to check the checkbox). To explain - when I post something I choose which categories that it will go to. If, for instance, I'm talking about a weekend outing, I'll send it to Personal but not to the home page. If I'm writing about .NET generally, I'll send it to .NET and the home page, unless it's highly technical (e.g. code) in which case I'll leave it only in .NET. The home page is meant as a more generally readable section, while the categories are more interest specific. Often there will be overlaps - for instance .NET will contain a lot of the same content as the home page section if I've been writing a lot about Microsoft/.NET topics.

However some people just wanted to see everything, regardless of categorization, so that category now exists. I've been pushing stuff there for the past couple of days.
