As much as I hate Nintendo...


As much as I hate Nintendo, king of gimmicks and Microsoft, king of doing whatever they want, the latest console war has forged some exciting times. Sony is attacking the gaming market like never before. They have launched PS3 titles in every genre and even invented a few new genres while they were at it. The PlayStation 3 has everything the other consoles have and they are giving away heaps of free stuff on the PlayStation Network, all this while the PlayStation division posted it's biggest quarterly loss ever. Competition makes corporations do some amazing things.




The PlayStation 3 has games for everyone:
  • Super Rub'a'Dub for the kids
  • Singstar for the ladies
  • Warhawk for the gents
  • Ratchet and Clank for the family
  • and a host of other amazing games

I will never have a Microsoft of Nintendo console under my TV while PlayStation exists, but I am happy for Nintendo and Microsoft to keep making consoles 'cause it keeps Sony on their toes.

PSLoggedOn Getting Started on Windows Server 2008 R2

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
