What a weekend!

I took 3 days off this weekend, needed a rest before a weekend of installing a new server at one of CTC's offices.

On Friday Sony had the SGD (Sony Gamers Day). There were plenty of promising titles shown. On the PS3 the best were Heavenly Sword, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, and Little Big Planet. On the PSP the best were God of War: Chains of Olympus, SOCOM Tactical Strike, and Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice.

On Saturday I was on the edge of my seat all day with the impending announcement of StarCraft 2. I spent most of the afternoon in the StarCraft Legacy chat room. IGN had constant updates throughout the event, and I reckon I refreshed that page every 2 minutes for over 3 hours. Anyways StarCraft 2 was announced and the website is up. StarCraft 2 is looking great, and I have heard they a shooting for a October '07 release! How awesome!

Immortals are perfect vs Siege Tanks , but small arms own them, kinda odd, but a nice idea.

Battlecruisers make a return, and still suck..

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

Citrix Printing Series - Auto-Creating Session Printers

In addition to or as an alternative to creating client printers, XenApp and XenDesktop allow an Administrator to specify which network printers should be created within each session. This process is controlled using the "Session Printers" policy. See the user policy below: You can very cleverly configure what's known as Proximity Printing, which involves the use of the "Session Printers" policy, the "Default Printers" policy and a filter based on a geographic indicator such as an IP Address or client name. Use Session Printers and or Proximity Printing when you have one of the following scenarios: Thin Clients are used that cannot connect to network printers Laptop users roam throughout sites
