A big step

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

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!

    As you can see from yesterday’s posts, I think I’ve got a pretty good grasp on how I can use the OPML editor after all. It’s going to require a little bit of work on my end, in terms of creating new outlines for each new item and then moving the HTML files by hand,…

  • Recycling

    I spent part of Saturday morning taking some of our old equipment to the local county solid waste authority’s computer recycling drive. They do a couple of these a year, and it’s a good way to get rid of monitors, printers and other hardware that simply doesn’t work any more or doesn’t serve a purpose…

    As someone who still works with NT 4.0 servers in my professional life, I wasn’t thrilled when MS didn’t come up with a patch for an RPC vulnerability. On the other hand, I already have our NT 4.0 server behind a firewall with port 135 blocked, so it’s really not that big a deal. I…

  • Interesting usefulness

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Last night I found some interesting useful things to do with my Pocket PC. Sleeping at the in-laws, I used a CF card full off MP3’s and my stereo headphones to fall asleep to music without bothering my wife, or having to lug around any extra cd player or cd’s. Then, when I woke up…

  • MS bashing in the media?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    From Online Blog comes an interesting look at this article on Micrososft’s Windows profit margins. It seems that MS pulls off an 86% profit margin on all of it’s sales of Windows and some consumer groups are outraged. To quote: Cooper said the Microsoft profit margin had been sustained through illegal use of Microsoft’s monopoly…
