Journal, Opinion and Rants!
I have abandoned MySpace and Facebook for a while now. Thanks to the iPhone apps, I opened a new MySpace account and got back on Facebook again.
I never thought that I’d linger around both sites, but this time it is for communication sake. There are a few people I know (Mr. Alazraqui, you’re one of them) who use MySpace as their primary communications.
Thanks to the MySpace and Facebook apps on the iPhone, I am back on these sites.
Note to self:
Just in case Windows failed to update:
When accessing the Update site, you receive the 0x800A01AE error.

I encountered this error while installing Microsoft Windows Home Server Client Software on a newly installed Windows XP with SP3.
How in the virtual-world do you rename a Windows Home Server?
So far, I don’t see any options to do so. Even Microsoft Support site doesn’t have any answers remotely related to it.
The adventure with Windows Home Server continues.
First, I am resurrecting 37primeBlog from 37prime.WordPress back-up because I had so much posted here previously. Since I have started a new WordPress blog (37prime.news), I’m using 37primeBlog for the “draft” of upcoming posts.
It takes a lot to write down an intelligible post which I am trying to do. This time I am using Windows Home Server HP MediaSmart Server EX475, and slowly piecing things together. I have found good things and bad things about Windows Home Server. Yet I still have to put all my notes together about this Windows Home Server.
This is the first one. By default Windows Home Server put all the drives install in Raid Zero. That worries me. Raid Zero is not a good backup solution. Come on Microsoft, at least give the options to set-up the Raid. Give me Raid 1 or Raid 5.
What if one hard-drive failed? What would happened to the data?
What about it, Microsoft?

The people who develops Opera and WebKit are racing to pass Acid3 test. Both camps have scored 100/100 on Acid3 test. According to both Opera and WebKit camp, even though they scored 100/100, there are still some bug fixing to do.
The WebKit folks announces that WebKit achieves Acid3 100/100 in public build, today.
With r31342 WebKit has become the first publicly available rendering engine to achieve 100/100 on Acid3.
Meanwhile, Opera folks were the first to claim perfect score on Acid3 test using their internal build.
I downloaded WebKit build r31344 and ran Acid3 test on it. The video can be found here (QuickTime Movie 744KB).

Flurry of “nightly builds” of WebKit were released today, and it appears that the WebKit team is aiming for a perfect score on Acid3 test. I downloaded at least five different WebKit builds today, and the latest one (build 31334) scores 99/100 on Acid3 test (QuickTime Movie 376KB). Can they make the perfect grade? I’m sure they will soon. Apparently an internal build of Opera has passed Acid3 Test.
