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!


Stalkers terrorise a Terran base with their 'blink' ability.


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 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
