This may become an interesting summer project

Listening to In The Trenches while having lunch at my desk, I find myself intrigued greatly by Rob Whaley’s Admin to Admin segment on Uniform Server. I’ve been seriously thinking about trying to setup a web-server and seeing if I could get some sort of intranet put together as a place to post announcements or just communicate better with my users and the one complication I kept running into is that our one “server” machine is overloaded as it is, so running IIS just seemed like it might be a waste.

    Yeah so yesterday at ITEC was basically a waste. To say I was underwhelmed by the show would be understating the fact. We’ll see how today goes, but I’m not going to kill myself to get back for any of day 2 today. (Hey, it still beats sitting in my office..*L*) I’ve got a bunch…
