(MJF) Software pick of the week: Plumbago for Windows
It’s the return of the radial menu!

Is MS going to maintain existing support policies for Skylake-based Windows Servers and IoT devices? Yes for servers; no for IoT devices.
Codename pick of the week: Project Burbank
Actiongram’s codename is Project Burbank, seemingly giving a nod to Burbank, Calif., home of many movie, tv studios.
Beer pick of the week: Captain Lawrence Hopsomniac IPA
Two “did you knows”: Did you know this is NY Craft Beer week? (It is!) and Did you know coffee IPAs are a thing now? (They are!) Combining the best of both of these facts: Captain Lawrence of Elmsford NY has made a fabulous coffee IPA called Hopsomniac – one so good it kept me awake all night cause I couldn’t stop drinking it 🙂
