Moving On…

Well easter is over and I have about all of the videos I captured converted and posted to youtube (check out the links —>). Kayley liked her swing and got lots of great stuff from her grandparents and aunts, uncles. I got a quick nine in Saturday @ Skyland Pines and boy did I suck; time to get out the golf net.

I also finally made the switch all of my computers are now using Chrome. Still has corks but I’m hoping as it matures some of my issues get buttoned up. With the work day almost over I’m going to go home and eat some of my wifes famous sloppy joe.

Take care and hope you all had a good break. PS 2:00min mark on the video below… lol

Netbook

Testing out the wordpress app for android. Thought I would see how easy or hard it was to post photos.
Also I finally forced myself to start using chrome on my netbook. I still use firefox on my other pcs.. so far the experience is better than the last time I tried it.
Off you go to the blog-o-sphere…

Tech Changes

This past weekend, at the office, we had a major server crash; it happened to be one of our vmware servers. I spent 20 hours recovering, rebuild and getting the back images going. The nice thing about the crash was we got to start our move from vmware to hyper-v early.

Out of the 5 servers we have virtualized, we have already migrated 4 to hyper-v and what a difference it has made. Things are much faster backups seem easier to perform, and the software just feels alot more stable. First machine I used a tool by DavidB @ VMTookKit to convert from VMDK to VHD, subsequent machines I’ve used SCVMM 2008 R2 tools. Microsoft has a 180 Day Trial which is working great. Not to mention Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 Core is free.

For backups we have been using diskshadow, task scheduler and some scripts loosely based off of John Kelbley’s scripts and Glo Network scripts.
