  • Windows 2003 TCP Tweak

    Posted on Sunday November 8th, 2009 at 14:43 in asp, Tech, migration, windows-2003, windows-2000, tech-ops

    I have spent the past few days working on migrating a bunch of classic ASP web applications from a Windows 2000 server to a Windows 2003 server. A long overdue task, but one who’s time has finally come. The hardware under the Windows 2000 box has b...

  • Twitter Lists – Useful!

    Posted on Friday November 6th, 2009 at 17:10 in Tech, twitter, social-networking

    I have to confess that when Twitter’s new “list” feature was announced my response was a well-reasoned “meh.” I just didn’t see the point and had little interest in investigating… Fortunately (for me!) I decided to play around the featu...

    I updated VMware Player to the latest version (3.0) on my home machine last night[1]. Wanted to check out the latest version and get a first hand look at the new features. I pointed it to my trusty Xubuntu “security” virtual machine and booted up...

  • VMware Upgrade Policy Disappoints

    Posted on Wednesday October 28th, 2009 at 10:16 in Tech, virtualization, upgrade, virtualbox, vmware-player, vmware-server, vmware-workstation

    I’m miffed. Darned close to full snit, actually. A month and a half ago I bought VMware Workstation 6.5. The sale was just too good to pass up and I had a 30 day trial winding down. The timing was perfect and I was glad to make the purchase. Shortl...
