I’ve been thinking more and more about the massive file storage I pondered before, even though my idea of 3x320Gig in a RAID5 (640G) is far short of others idea of massive. For example, there’s a good story on slashdot on Building a Massive Single Volume Storage Solution. This guy is looking for a petabyte, […]

I finally got around to competing building that spare computer I have been talking about. In the process I discovered I don’t have a lot of spare decent sized hard drives (my largest is a 10 Gig that I inherited from work (legitimately, I swear!)). I did discover though that I have a lot of

I’ve been meaning to put together another computer for a while now to play with some of the windows technology that I haven’t played with (active directory, exchange, project server, IIS, sql server, etc).

I guess I’d have to say my first Dell pizza box server ‘out of the box’ experience wasn’t all terrible. $notmyboss comes by and and asks me how long it’d take to unpack and setup remote desktop access to a Dell server. By this of course he means “unpack and setup remote desktop access to
