Powerful tool day after day

Since I received my MacBook in December I have been taking the time to use it as often as I can. As with all new things the novelty of owning one wore off after about a 2 weeks, however the usefulness of the MacBook never stopped. My progression to the Mac has been slow however for the last 2 weeks I...

Server Restored

The much hyped Tornado never hit Johannesburg yesterday but unfortunately something of similar proportions struck down our dotnet.org.za hosting server. At around 00:30 last I received a notification that something went wrong with the server. We worked with Voxel engineers and eventually installed a...

Keyboards, ooooo...

I am a horder of keyboards. It's not because I like them, it's in fact the opposite. I am picky, I want good tactile feedback, short throw, and good response (wireless keyboards have just not delivered). Think of a good notebook keyboard, but with a decent layout. Just when I think I have found...

SBS 2003, ISA 2004 and Exchange 2003

I previously mentioned that we received SBS 2003 as part of our Action Pack Subscription. I spent the last few days setting up our server at home and I am proud to say I have it all working. I do have one or two gripes about the software but as a whole it's a brilliant solution for any small business...

For my particular notebook it's a whopping 200MB+ download for the drivers and an additional 300MB+ download for the Applications.

Hardware Upgrade

Just a quick heads-up on an upcoming hardware upgrade : We've ordered a new server (Dual Xeon/2GB RAM) from our host to replace the current server which should be operational by next week. This should address the slow response from the past couple of weeks. The site shouldn't be offline more than 2 hours...

IMate JAMin

Last Friday my service provider (staying anonymous for someone's benefit...) phoned me informing me my contract was up for renewal. Yeah, I was kind of aware it should be around the time but I've been so busy with life (just surviving most of the time) that I just didn't get to it yet. So...
