VMWare to Hyper-V R2 and back.
May 25th
Well, I’ve finally gotten to testing out Hyper-V. To be completely honest, I’ve had one hell of a bad experience with it at first, but now it’s ok and I like the product (Server 2008R2 with Hyper-V Role – Not Hyper-V core). VMWare still has more of what I want, but I don’t think it will be long before it’s caught up. Keep reading for the good, the bad, and some overall useful nuggets of information.

RT 3.8.7 VMWare appliance with RTFM
Mar 24th
Ok, it’s back…
My VMWare Request Tracker 3.8.7 Virtual appliance is back. This one has it all and is designed to be usable even for people with no linux knowledge. Here are some features:
- RTFM installed
- Easy to modify script for checking pop3/imap accounts (Works with Exchange 2003/2007 too!)
- No bug with network interface disappearing when copying it to another VMWare instance.
- Webmin interface installed (No linux knowledge needed)
- All features working (Graphing/Shredder to name a couple)
- And some other stuff but I can’t remember at the moment.
Here’s the product:
And here’s the documentation (first draft – could have some errors):

I’m back!
Mar 21st
Well, I had a catastrophic hardware failure. It wasn’t pretty. For the tech saavy, I had a multi-hd failure on a raid 5 array after a motherboard burnout. What it boils down to is me kicking myself for figuring “Eh.. it’s a personal site, nothing business related – if I lose it, no big deal..” (That means I didn’t bother with backups…. ugh.. )
I’ve grown to like what I lost, and now have integrated this site with my production systems backup plans. I won’t be making the same mistake twice.
All user accounts are gone.. All posts gone.. Forums wiped.. The only thing still around are my torrent downloads as they were on a different server. I’ll be re-posting them in the forums within the week (or whenever I get to it).
Anyway, I’ve decided to upgrade to the latest wordpress, give the new forums a major upgrade, and update a ton of other crap here.
I’ve also changed the look a bit – hope you all like it.
