Scott's post prompted this post as I've found that unlike Scott, my recent upgrade to a third screen is really helpful. I run with two PCs under my desk. One PC is a simple Dell tower with 4GB of RAM, a dual core chip in it and a couple of SATA...(read more)

I fix other people's computers and IT problems all day, so the last thing I really feel like doing is fixing my own computer problems at home. My personal workstation decided to blue screen earlier in the evening which was nice. It was one of those...(read more)

After a couple hours of customization, I activated a new theme for the BrianDesmond.com site. The old look was the same theme I had when I started a blog on weblogs.asp.net in 2003. I felt like it was kind of depressing to look at the old colors - there...(read more)

Site Move/Upgrade

Brian Desmond's Blog — Sat, 03 Dec 2005 04:39:00 GMT

I decided to get a box, actually a virtual server over at www.bitshop.com . I'm in the process of getting that all squared away and working, and then I'm going to swing this site over, and hopefully in the process upgrade the blog software and get rid...(read more)

Weekend Fun

Brian Desmond's Blog — Tue, 08 Nov 2005 12:49:00 GMT

I had some fun out in Denver this past weekend. Usually I don't do much in the way of “network” stuff. I generally ride on the network - AD and Exchange being what I do for the most part, I don't have to worry about the routers and switches...(read more)
