One of the hard drives in a Windows Home Server has gone bad. I’m working to get it replaced. Actually I want to get a new file server.
Yeah, that looks legit – BBB Edition
Yet another phising email claiming to be from Better Business Bureau.
Preparing for OS X Mountain Lion Installation.
Apple has just announced the availability of OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview. For those who are eager to download and install this Developer Preview should proceed with caution. Without breaking any NDA’s we can safely assume:
- It comes with delicious bugs and incomplete features.
- It is not ready as your production machine.
- Some of the applications might not work.
If you want to install OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview, you might want to consider the following steps:
- Do not upgrade any of your Snow Leopard or Lion systems. Starting with fresh install is preferable.
- Use a dedicated hard drive for Mountain Lion installation.
- Create the OS X Mountain Lion installation media using DVD or USB flash drive from the InstallESD.dmg (Show Package Contents on “Install OS X Mountain Lion Preview 1” then go to “ContentsShared Support”).
Don’t forget to report any bugs you find to Apple at http://bugreporter.apple.com/.

Yet another SMS spam. This one reads:
“FELICIDADES” IUSACEL, Te Inf. Gracias a tu Mòvil eres Ganador : US$ 45,000 Y 1 TOYOTA PRADO 2012 ” Gracias ” A : HONDUTEL Mayor info. PBX: 01150242582314.
Google translates it as:
“CONGRATULATIONS” IUSACEL, Information Thank you for your cell phone you are Winner: U.S. $ 45.000 and 1 TOYOTA PRADO 2012 “Thank you” A: HONDUTEL More Info. PBX: 01150242582314.
I’m assuming that it comes from Honduras.
Past Tense: Apple Ethernet Transceiver
I was cleaning up the server room last week and found something I haven’t seen in the last 12 years, Apple Ethernet Transceiver.
It also comes with an Apple stencil cutout.
