    Jan 23, 2010 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Tonight, I uninstalled Exchange Server 2007 from a development server and was surprised to see that, after the uninstall was complete (and not without a few workarounds), only 50GB of an 80GB hard drive remained. Explorer showed 25GB free, but only 25GB had been used. Where was the remaining 30GB? Poking around the net …

    Over the past week, I've installed Windows 7 and OS X more times than I can count.

Initially, I was going to install the …

    Ow, the other day I was infected by the the Vundo trojan. I believe the trojan came in through an infected webpage and attacked a Java vulnerability on my machine. During the cleanup, I installed a variety of anti-malware software, including Microsoft Windows Defender. Although I don't believe things can be 100% clean …

    I'd like to start this post with a warning: I'm only 29 years old but already have permanent damage to my shoulder caused by overusage while working/playing on the computer.

    Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0 is now available for download. I updated 4 of my servers from WSUS 2.0 to 3.0 today with no apparent problems - the install was very smooth. The biggest difference so far is the move from WSUS Administration being web-based to being an MMC 3.0 snap-in. If you'd like to …

A lot of companies are going towards virutalizing servers, even those still running NT or Exchange 5.5. The main reasons seem to be saving rackspace and saving electricity (fewer …

    After reading at bink.nu that the Longhorn April CTP was available, I logged in to my sweet MSDN account and searched for it. Strangely, I could only find "Longhorn Beta 3 Escrow" which became available on April 9th. I'm guessing that this version is newer than the April CTP but I'm not sure. Anyone know what …
