We know some of you may have had a long St. Patrick's Day night. Lower the lights, drink a cup of coffee and check out this week's links. If you've found something you think other IT pros will appreciate, send an e-mail to [email protected] so we can include it in next week's edition. Also, keep up with us all week long on Twitter.
