Novell iManager
I've been playing around with iManager on our new Novell 6.5 box for a bit,
and am starting to come to the conclusion that Novell has the right sort of
idea.
We've had a bit of a biased opinion against Novell here at Rhodes for a
while ago. The Novell 4.1 boxes we were running as out NDS directory didn't
quite cut it any more, and there was slowly increasing pressure to do
something about it. Some camps outside the IT division were strongly in
favor of our switching to a Microsoft Active Directory model, something
which was fortunately resisted.

(rich!) chocolate mousse
3 eggs
2 - 3 bars cooking chocolate
1/2 pint cream
2 tots of your favourite liqueur
. break up the chocolate into small pieces
. melt it in a double boiler (I actually prefer a glass bowl on a saucepan of
boiling water)
. separate the eggs
. whip the cream and beat egg yolks
. mix the yolks, cream and liqueur and warm the mixture to the same temp
as the chocolate (will thicken like custard)
. beat the whites to stiff peaks
. mix the yolk/cream mixture with the melted chocolate. note that if you
forget to warm the cream, it'll get all lumpy and spoil at this stage. try
. beat the chocolate mixture until it becomes smooth and runny and then pour
into a serving bowl.
. fold the egg whites into the mixture, ensuring that you keep the air in them
. refrigerate for an hour or two
You can do this with dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate.
orange based liqueurs are good with dark chocolate, cream based ones with
white chocolate.
It looks even better if you layer dark and white chocolate - this is called
ebony and ivory. To do this, ensure the layers set before adding more.
