Meglet Rambles On

I’m just sitting at my PC trying to unwind from a very stressful day at work. Don’t feel like firing up the MacBook just to listen to iTunes, and I don’t have the iTunes library on the WHS set back up yet, which is what my PC connects to, so no iTunes here either. However, [...]

Thanks to Best Buy’s dirt cheap price on an external 1TB drive (although the price of dirt is often relative) I was able to add enough space back into the server last night to get all the data back on the shares. So I started the last 500GB of data copying this morning, and when [...]

Well, I wish my server rebuild had only taken 9-12 hours. So far, it has taken me 29 hours to backup up the data, re-install Windows Home Server, and start moving the data back into the shares. Of course, until the new drive shows up on Thursday, there isn’t enough space to move all the [...]

Today’s upgrade to the Windows Home Server was supposed to be very simple.

(The koolaid saying is a reference to the Jonestown-I think it was Jonestown-cult that knowingly drank poisoned koolaid because their leader said so.) I have been in the market for a new phone for [...]

A little note on iWeb: When you’re used to hand-coding everything, a drag-and-drop editor is really nice and easy. Until you need to add some actual code because iWeb can’t handle what you want the page to do. Then it becomes very annoying, because there is no built-in way to add code within iWeb, so [...]
