Just upgraded to 2.5

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs

Upgraded to 2.3.3, does not seem to effect the DB scheama so mostly seamless !

??Testing, Testing, 1,2,3

Just upgraded,?? to 2.3.2

Testing testing 123, my old granny smells of pee !

After Two and a half years of blogging (mostly RANTS) with a “few” techie articles, I have decided it is time to stand up tall and be counted by the masses, to this end i have started a 2nd blog, siliconpizza.com

This New blog will be focussed on my warped view of technology , it’s use and abuse, news, discoveries etc etc and within my limited command of my mother tongue, the english language, it should present a professional picture of my life and the technology that infects it.

Don’t worry blog.species5618.net will continue to carry the usual and occasionaly amusesing personal views on life

Not a big fan of stats and numbers, but what the hell
I have hooked my blog RSS feeds through feedburner.com, using their “myBrand” feature
so the New feed URLS are

got my self one of those domestic power meters and been around the house,

HOLY FUCK !!!!

Need to change my storage strategy, the Compaq RA4100 fibre channel chassis with 12 disk may well be over kill, but it is also DAMN expensive to run,
and I have NO idea why the UPS is pulling 100Watts with NO load !!!

??As i am only ising the storage for archive type stuff not “live” apps, I am planning to replce it with an external USB2 disk,
the Cost Recovery Period will be less than 4 months !

Not sure what to do about the server though, it is runnign AD, Exchange, VMware server with VOIP PBX and dansguardian ….
