RAID Party!

Ok, how nerdy is that title? That's a classic.

Anyways went to Brissy today and bought two new computer desks. The table I have at the moment was a dining room table in a past life. The new tables are much better in so many ways. We scored free delivery with a bit of bargaining, the new desks arrive Tuesday.

While I was in Brisbane I purchased another Hard Drive, 320 GB just like my other. I'm going to set-up the disks in a RAID Array this weekend. My brother has 2 WD Raptors and he'll be setting up a RAID at the same time as me. We'll need all the storage we can get to back-up my existing 300GB of data. The RAID party should be fun.

I've been playing Killzone: Liberation on PSP. Killzone is great! The graphics are impressive and the gameplay is very tactical, running in Serious Sam style just doesn't cut it. The physics in Killzone are just hilarious. When I throw a grenade at an enemy it explodes and sends them soaring into the air, and they sometimes land in the water with a massive splash. I'm waiting on a network key from Sony so I can try it online.

I've also been playing heaps of Company of Heroes (COH). I've just started playing Germany in the skirmish mode and I am throughly enjoying it. COH pushes my computer to the limits, but I can still run it full spec without too much slowdown.

I've got a network install this week, then I have a 5 day weekend to catch up on overtime owing to me.

I'll report back after the LAN.. I mean RAID Party!

PS. I've updated the left sidebar.

PSLoggedOn Getting Started on Windows Server 2008 R2

Image
PSLoggedOn is a tool I downloaded to allow me to find out which computers a user is currently logged on to. Getting it up and running wasn’t exactly easy. I’m running a Windows Server 2008 R2 test environment. The first error I encountered was: Error browing network: The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available. Note: I kept the spelling mistake from the error message to make it easier to find via search engines. To get past this error, you have to enable and start the “Computer Browser” service. Then I started getting the error telling me that the Administrator is not logged on. That’s simply not true because I am logged onto another server (Name: ELARA): I turned the firewall OFF OFF OFF (It is a test network after all). I enabled Network Discovery and to do that I went on a service starting frenzy: DNS Client, Function Discovery Resource Publication, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host, Computer Browser After all that, I ran the script against the se
