Shutting down Windows Home Server

For the past week or so I have been grappling with Windows Home Server and the general errors that have been occurring, and cropping up. Now the standoff is over; and I’m not sure who won…. Here’s the short story: high CPU utilizing (near 100% – effectively crippling the machine) problems with adding and removing … Read more

As promised, more Windows Home Server action

I just couldn’t wait and had to make Dylan sit up in the office playing with some of my toys whilst I installed Home Server on my old machine. I’m not going to run off at the mouth on the home page for this one, but I have started my initial thoughts and impressions in … Read more

Windows Home Server: The Arrival

I just opened the mailbox, and what to my wondering eyes should appear? Besides it being partially full of snow plow snow? MAIL! Of course, and my Windows Home Server Beta kit! w00t! w00t!

Microsoft should be in trouble

If people weren’t so afraid of change, the unknown and having to learn something new Microsoft would be in a world of hurt in the world of low to mid range PCs. Linux would overtake them in a heartbeat. Ubuntu is so impossibly simple to install, that you almost have to try to screw it … Read more

Toys, toys toys toys…..

I don’t know what to say… no, not true. I do. YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I’ve been on a little spending spree as of late, of which I am the direct recipient of. w00t!
