Windows Server 2003 and Longhorn

Posted in Misc, OldNewsOnZianet by Kristian Kristensen on the April 27th, 2003

Windows Server 2003 was launched on thursday, and I watched the live broadcast from San Francisco. That was kinda cool, to watch it over the internet while it was occuring in SF, US.

I read on Neowin that Longhorn was leaked in another alpha build (build no. 4015). Screenshots from it looks very interesting.

My trip to Aarhus for a .NET student seminar went well, the seminar was kinda boring, since I had heard most of the talks before. Luckily I meet Martin “Gimpster” Geisler and we walked around in Aarhus and afterwards I saw his dormitory. So all in all the day ended great afterall :-)

I’ve now run with the Office System 2003 for a while, and so far I’ve had nothing to complain about. It works smoothly and looks great. Starting to take a closer look on the InfoPath app, on which I might develop a solution for work. So far the idea is mostly vague, hopefully not for long.

On a hardware note I’ve got a new battery for my laptop; the old one was getting very crappy!

Tada…

Upgraded Office to v. 2003

Just upgraded my Office XP installation to Office System 2003 Beta 2. The upgrade went smothly; amazingly enough when you think you’re upgrading from a production release to a beta release. Way to go MS :-)

Servers and UPS

Posted in Misc, OldNewsOnZianet by Kristian Kristensen on the April 19th, 2003

After having my serverrack standing alone not used, I’ve finally put my servers in it. Kinda looks good, the only problem is that the servers aren’t rackmountable, and tower servers looks a bit stupid in a rack cabinet…

On another note speaking of servers my UPS came to work once again today around noon. The power company had some problems, and I was out of power for 45 min. That sucks! Thank god there are UPS’s around otherwise my life would be a stinking hell… :-)

Tuesday I’m attending a .NET seminar in Aarhus; from what I know at the moment it looks promising… at least the sessions before noon.
