HP's Windows Home Server - What A Pain in My Ass

mikey — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 01:21:46 GMT

I've been dogfooding Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 for a long time, now. For those of you who aren't aware, it's basically a service pack for Home Server that adds a few features and fixes some bugs (like the data corruption issue). Now that...(read more)

Delaying the move for a while...

mikey — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:15:00 GMT

I still haven't gotten the redirection working correctly, and I've found a few things about Live Spaces that I don't really like (namely, you have to have a Live ID to comment on my blog). So, in the mean time, I'll port the few posts...(read more)

The Aristocrats

mikey — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 07:14:00 GMT

Emmi and I are at a wedding for one of her best friends this weekend. We're staying in this awesome bed and breakfast (aside: I've never stayed in a "BnB", as I've heard them called, before. I have no idea what the protocols...(read more)

The New BBG

mikey — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 21:19:00 GMT

My previous host for BBG was actually pretty cool. There was program through work that allowed me to host a website for free, as long as it used pre-release technology. Long story short, BBG was being hosted for free but was experiencing a...(read more)

How I Spent My Wednesday Night

mikey — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:26:00 GMT

Emmi is out of town for the latter part of this week, so once again, I am temporarily a bachelor of sorts. Now, you might ask yourself "Mike - how do you spend your time now that you're temporarily a bachelor of sorts?", but that would be...(read more)

I don't have the words...

mikey — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 02:25:00 GMT

Fuzzy sent me a link to this video: I really don't even know what to say about it. I actually watched the whole thing. I've long been of the opinion that, if you took all of the time that people have used to create things like this, and devoted...(read more)

Apple, AT&T, and some crap about a new iPhone

mikey — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 07:36:41 GMT

So Apple announced their new 3G iPhone today, and I was seriously considering purchasing one. That is until I read these two articles. This article posits that AT&T and Apple are making it so that one will need to activate the iPhone in the...(read more)

Not Thirsty

mikey — Tue, 13 May 2008 03:50:00 GMT

I've been sober for a year. Wel, not totally sober - I've had a beer every now and then, but compared to the amount that I used to drink it's hardly worth mentioning. In all honestly, I could probably count the number of beers I've had...(read more)

Apocalypse Now Redux Redux

mikey — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 09:28:00 GMT

Our first week in Vietnam has come and gone, and it's still great. We just got back into Saigon from a trip to Nha Trang, which is an ocean-side city about 45 minutes (flying) from Saigon. It was fantastic. We spent two whole days sitting in front...(read more)

From Geeks to Dragons... wait, what?

mikey — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 09:05:00 GMT

For those of you playing along at home, that's a reference to a series of blog entries I did in a past life about a trip I took to China. It has nothing to do with this post. Emmi and I have landed in South Korea, and we're sitting outside of...(read more)

I was going to write a new post...

mikey — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 04:31:00 GMT

but that seems like an awful lot of work. I have nothing immediately new to report. I've been working far, far too much. Though, I'm on the brink of an exciting vacation. Emmi and I are leaving for three weeks in Vietnam next Monday. I'm sure...(read more)

David Hasselhoff is looking really old these days

mikey — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 07:58:00 GMT

I just watched the new Knight Rider movie (which was essentially the pilot episode for a new series), and wow. I really enjoyed it. I just recently spent some time watching the original series, and it was just as disappointing as every other show I really...(read more)
