A big step

I took the big plunge last night. Now that I’ve transferred over all the content from the Geocities site to either this location or the child abuse site, I went ahead and deleted the Geocities site. It is no more, after 6 years of existence and many different permutations. It’s time to move on to bigger and better things, but it’ll always have a soft spot for the place that gave me my start. 🙂

As you know I’ve been looking around for a “test” machine that has enough power to run some server software so I can learn more about some things that we don’t use here at work, but that also won’t break the bank. Namely, Active Directory and IIS, while also perhaps building in a Linux/Apache partition on it as well, to learn about how those things work. (Especially since I only have a 120 day eval of Windows 2000 Server!) I think I’m going to hit the super computer sale at Vet’s Memorial Coliseum this weekend and see if maybe I can find something that will fit the bill a little cheaper than some of the store built systems I’ve priced out so far. We’ll see!

    Has reason returned to the land of DMCA? The jury in the Elcomsoft case seems to have decided it should! Here’s the important part of the jury instructions, to my mind: “Merely offering a product that could violate copyrights was not enough to warrant a conviction, the jury instructions said” Haven’t heard that point made…

  • One person IT group

    Yeah that title does seem like a contradiction, doesn’t it? Seriously though, I got an email over the weekend from Steve, who wants to start up a Google group called “One-person IT Department” Seems like that might be an interesting idea. If it interests you, drop by, join up and start a conversation! Follow these…
