  • Enter the Server – Part Three

    Still on the Gen 8 topic, here’s the lowdown on some questions I was asked: File Sharing – I’m using regular Windows FS in a workgroup environment. Backup – I was using a multitude of solutions for backup here at home: my PC had Backblaze backing up to the cloud, my wife’s PC had Veeam […]

    I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror… I feared something terrible has happened. I launched my browser to find out that it were just Apple fan boys crying hysterically about the new iPhone 4S. The bitching started yesterday and is yet to end… So Apple […]

  • Bye bye iOS, Hello Android

    Yes, I’ve gone Android. For those who know me that might come as a shock. I’m a big Apple fan, I have a Mac since 2007 and never thought of going back to Linux or Windows (until recently with Lion’s release, but those are another 2 cents). I got an iPhone 3G when they were […]
