1. Four ways to grow your start up. A great article that I read this week in the Australian Financial Review.
2. Some great reading for the weekend on learning from legends like Moragn Freeman, Bill Maher, Debbie harry and many many more. Inspiring stuff and it is totally free.
3. Revolights Eclipse: Connected Bike Lighting System is another crowd funding initiative that I am supporting.
4. If you are into knives you may want to check out these beauties which include knives made from space rocks....yes really.
5. And because it is Friday and I love a good illusion check out this cool wine rack. Even better after a few glasses.

Blog post of the week

How to plan a  Disaster Recovery Plan engagement

This blog post is focused on how to plan and scope out a disaster recovery plan. It looks at the objectives, work packages or deliverables and the acceptance criteria. It is more focused on how a client might engage a vendor to conduct a disaster recovery plan. The structure outlined could be used for inclusion in a statement of work. This is a business focused post and not technical.
 
A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a documented process or set of procedures to recover and protect a business IT infrastructure in the event of a disaster.
 
Planning and testing a disaster recovery plan is a prudent part of business continuity planning.
