Hey All.

 Just a quick post to say I am back and I will be posting the trip in its entirety starting tomorrow, with plenty of pics and videos.

 Stay Tuned.

Hey Kids

 Today I am off to New Zealand…taxi gets here in 5mins.

I will post as much as I can while I am away, with photos too I hope.

Anyhow if my plane crashes and I die a terrible death this will be my last recorded message.

“Hi Mum”

Windows Home Server

As a couple of my friends know I have been trialing ‘WHS’ the last few weeks as I built myself a NAS box about a month or so ago, I attempted a couple of  the complete Linux based NAS software packages but they didn’t support my RAID card so they were out.
In my frustration I ended up installing Windows XP and just running file shares but the system was really limited and really wasn’t what I was planning….mind you XP without all the user installed software is as solid as a rock….100% up time.

Then I read an article about ‘Windows Home Sever’ moving to RC1, and it was time to check it out.

 Check it out here

*more to come

Day 01:

Today I woke up at 10am, made myself a toasted sandwich and a coffee and enjoyed some day time TV.

I then spent my time reading all 127 new ‘Engadget’ RSS posts {sooo want an iPhone when it comes out}

Went for a short drive and bought myself a magazine….I about about to go to the movies and see Fantastic Four

…if the next 4 weeks go like this I will be one happy man

BTW: I will start some Media Center computing and Windows Home Server reviews/posts soon.

What I have been up to since the last post….not the recently axed channel 9 show

Not a lot really, I have been training the new guy at work Pricepoint the past couple of weeks, he’s a fast learner so it’s been pretty crusiy. I was expecting to finish last Friday but the new guy needed Mon-Wed off to finish moving so Wednesday will be my last day of work…litrally, as I am not getting a new job until I come back from NZ in a month.

As of Wed I should be posting a lot more as I document my stint of unemployment with my new amature blogging skills
