We’ve come a long way in the history of Windows since Windows 95 and despite the hostility of a huge number towards Vista, there has been remarkable improvements and innovations made. However, beneath the fresh coat of paint, some of the old cracks in the wall are still occasionally visible. I was reminded, just not [...]
Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol has a feature that gives it a huge advantage over most traditional remote desktop software such as VNC (UltraVNC, RealVNC etc.): the redirection of sound from the remote to the local machine. That is to say, I would be able to play a music file on the remote computer and have [...]

I’m completely puzzled by this. Transferring a file across the network (GigE), a file that contains real data moves much slower (it’s almost a 10 MB/s difference!) than a test file created by fsutil.

RAM prices are dirt cheap, and with the amount of work I’m doing on virtual machines lately, it would be silly to not get another stick of 2 GB to my existing 2 GB.
2 + 2 might make 5 if you were in the world of Big Brother, but in the 32-bit world, 2 + [...]
I configured and installed Ubuntu Server 8.04 with the typical LAMP setup with the intend of mirroring this blog locally so I could test out a few changes without affecting the live copy and placed the server virtualized, behind the Vyatta router.

I’ve a few objectives I wish to attain with this setup. Mainly,
Learning Windows administration in depth.

I’ve been trying to be a bit more organized recently, sorting out my the huge mess that is my digital storage, and clearing out a years worth of the stuff in the folder labeled ‘Incoming’. As the name suggests, is where every file coming in to my computer is stored, regardless of their source. This [...]
When it comes to file transfers across the internet, I often feel that I’m geographically disadvantaged. I’ve been attempting to download Pirates of the Burning Sea beta since it was opened to the public, but Fileplanet and I hardly get along at all. I’ve managed only an average of 20kb/s, and anytime it got somewhere [...]
