Recovering Windows Home Server crash

March 30th, 2010 GregSnippets No comments

Repent! The interweb apocolypse is nigh! The last sign is upon us as it was written by Vinton Cerf in ye olde 1973:
Intel is lost and confused and….admits it!

Wow how cool is that?

Face book catches up to 2001.

Good thing they stopped that whole ” ehh we are too good for that let’s be like tiny url”

Sorry all I hate face book, I call it the anti social network.

It’s not social if you can’t add friends by browsing strangers.

You are not social if you are an E-Hermit.

But back on topic.

Does that mean ” facebook.com/myspacegigolo”

Will be available ??

Testing Windows 7 on a Work Environment

June 2nd, 2009 Tech News No comments

Day 1

Splash screen

Splash screen

screen two of install

task bar and full install background
We use an Intell(R) Pentium(R) p4 2.81 GHZ with 1.5 G Memory

Stats/Specs
Full format deleted all partitions Let 7 control partitions
Our install of course was the 32 bit version of Win7
First install screen

Splash Screen says Windows(R) 7 Ultimate, that was free one year from Microsoft’s(R) website. Thanks guys. We appreciate that.
Boot up was fast , about 17 seconds.
3 printers and one plotter on the network.
We have the goal to test all drivers and handling of certain used machines.
At first boot we saw all printers, but when we started the test page to print, there was no printers in the list.
We are now manually installing drivers. Last we tried with vista, the drivers would not install. with seven The Gestetner 525 installed within seconds. Smooth. We now go back and try the Lanier LD122. Next will be Ricoh Aficio mp w2400 Plotter copier

Ricoh Printer. Server Driver spoiling, is not an option , finds drivers on the server and installs them. Be sure and install the drivers. Twain untested as of yet. Scanner issues will come.
Test page 1 on Gestetner now. print was good on Gestetner.

printed one test page on netwrok win7

printed one test page on network win7

Testing windows 7 printing color

Testing windows 7 printing color

We have now consumed 10 gigs of storage. So far we have not installed anything Except printer Drivers

Windows typical keystrokes working as we try.
Loading Symantec Endpoint 11 Work Station Virus Scanner and Firewall To test compatibilities.
noted incompatibility issues, we selected “install anyway”. . So far no prompt for install and no shortcut in quick launch for Symantec, nothing in programs area either, it has been 7 minutes since we started . We are restarting manually to see if we get a boot error.
after reboot, no sign of Symantec.
They did make it clear that Symantec was made for Win Xp, Win 7 is x86/32 bit
Offered to check solutions online, Note is “no solution found” Incompatible. Now we try the 64 bit version of Symantec to see if there is a difference.
Right off we get the “ehh dude, it might not work, doesn’t work for anyone else” notice.
This time it did create the directory for symantec, but quickly uninstalled it. and said that it was interrupted and nothing was modified.

Next we try installing Symantec Server sbe11

More testing to come throughout the week. We want this on our work machines pretty bad. Interesting point, Win7 Identified that the version we have we got from the symantec website, even though it said we had compatibility issues. hmm odd.
Over the next few days we will check Symantec’s site for help on the issue/matter.
We do find a help saying “copy to desktop, run lusetup.exe, reboot, run setup.exe” and all should be good ?????
Maybe ???? Tomorrow we will see.

We install Mozilla Fire Fox 3.0.10 , No Thunderbird today.
good , no notice of compatibility issues. We import nothing, because explorer is a clean install. FF as default.
Install is fine. Fire fox is running well. No issues.

Day one is complete, next tests tomorrow, More writing.

Day Two of Windows 7 Workplace Test.

Will Google Buy Twitter?

April 4th, 2009 TruXter No comments

Looks like examiner thinks so.

Tech Crunch thinks it is a maybe deal

So does pc world

I myself Have been thinking for a while that it probably should have happened a while back.
The big issue is everyone says that twitter has no market. Yes they do. It’s 100% plain simple advertisement already.
Twitter should have had adsense on the top of every page in the script from the start. they would have easily cleared as much money as google could offer by now. But they played it smart and pointed at nothing but keeping the users happy. Sad think is, whom ever is to purchase twitter, will have a goal different of the twitter group, so expect to see some changes. what made it popular will no longer be there. The freedom to post at no cost, without intrusive ads. We hoard to that kind of atmosphere. Now we all wait with our fingers on our twitter aps in our cell phones, and wonder when we have to uninstall it.

Facebook’s New Look. Good or Bad?

March 22nd, 2009 TruXter No comments

have you seen the new look of facebook?
Seems not many are happy with the new look.
I myself make it loud and clear that I hate facebook and it’s interactivity.
The place is the antisocial network. You can’t call it a social network if the only
friends you can have, are friends you already have.

webpro posts votes on facebooks looks

We are not happy, and we are not stupid

Despite those numbers, despite rabid user loyalty, you’re losing money, so much money you got delisted from Forbes’ Masters of the Universe Billionaires list. At the same time another social network, much smaller than yours with less functionality and more questionable future, is gaining a lot of buzz and membership.

Ok, I need your help,spamming my sites.

August 11th, 2008 TruXter No comments

I have been very busy with my social sites.
I will index them all in google and yahoo very soon. When I am done after I get a few people on each of them and get a few complaints and requests so
I can tweak the site. The launches will all be at the same time. So yeah I will get very drunk and and celebrate my efforts on that day.
Thanks to those who have helped and believed in my efforts and knew that I could do this.
I will take  two shots for each of ya.

This is what I have been wasting my time with.

truxter.org

truxtertech.com.

and
iworkwithtech.com

and

iworkwithmusic.com

iworkwithpeople.com

I am sure atleast one pertains to your interests in some shape or fashion.

Do me favor, Sign up to one and make a post for me.
I need to see how well the sites handle stuff before I go full
release with this stuff.  Also let me know what you think and what you
might want to suggest.

Musicians site, ready for launch

August 2nd, 2008 TruXter No comments

I like music with no label. I love the idea of being independant with your distribution.

I like the way social networks work. I love the idea of free stuff with no backlash. Just express your feelings and share. Not record what you think people want to hear you sing and sell it for 99 cents a song to millions of people. A million people will not buy it.

but what ever. I created a site   iworkwithmusic.com

You go there , you creat an account, you create a profile, you make your own calendar, on your calendar you list you events so people know what and when . We all get our own links in the iworkwithmusic site. but you have to be a member for a while and show activity. I mean it isn’t a super hassle but i do allot of the back end work manually. Meaning at firsat your profile-calandar will be something like http://iworkwithmusic.com/user/view.php?id=2&course=1 . After some time it will be changed to http://truxter.iworkwithmusic.com

I have not made that link yet , so… I know it does not work. Really my profile at the moment is pointless. It’s about getting you guys a place to put your stuff and let people listen to it. If you have a website where you sell your music, it’s ok if you link to that place. Just don’t turn the place into a link farm. I have the site set up with alot of pinging services, so everytime you make an update, the world knows about it instantly.

Sign up and make a mark on the calendar, Let’s give the people stuff to listen to.

How does one get traffic to their forum?

June 7th, 2008 TruXter No comments

Man I spent 2 days setting up m forum and chatroom. I have done all i can to get traffic to them and I do get traffic, but none fricken signs up.  They just show up and look around and then bail. It’s like they don’t want to be the only person posting on a vacant forum. But man, someone has to be the first to go there and post. I am tempted to make fake accounts. but I can’t see how to make posts and not feel like a dillweed.

Heck the forum is the same age as the chatroom. One month.  There is no irc relation at all. My site hosts the full weight of the bandwidth. Heck I have tons of bandwidth and tons of storage . I started a contest and posted the link  while trying to not be spammy.

How in the hell do I get people to post ?
