Blog Ressurection
=================

Hello all,

A few months back I moved jobs. At my last job (as you all well know from this
blog), I was a server administrator and .Net programmer on the side. At the new
job, I was hired primarily as a web developer (PHP, JavaScript, Joomla dev,
etc.). Naturally, because of the position change, I was no longer doing server
administration and consequentially had nothing new to post on this blog.

That has changed now. The company I now work for didn't have much of a server
infrastructure (a non-server edition mac that stored files), so they asked me
to design and build a new one.

All that being said, I now have new content to post here. You Linux users will
be happy to hear that I am now using Linux for some of our servers (virtual
host and file server). To you Windows users, I will be building an Exchange
server, terminal server, and a backup server (this might be done on Linux
though). Most likely things in that list will be shifted around a bit in the
next two or so weeks so please bare with me.

Some of the technologies I will be using in the upcoming posts will be

* Windows Small Business Server 2008 (x64)
* Ubuntu Server 9.10
* VMWare Server 2
* Microsoft Outlook Exchange
* TightVNC
* SSH

On one final note, I would like to put out a shameless plug for my other blog,
http://timexwebdev.blogspot.com[Musings of a Web Developer]. It covers the
issues and fixes I have found throughout my adventures of coding websites.
Essentially, it's the same thing as this blog but for web development rather
than server administration.

I look forward to the upcoming comments about how depressing IT work can be
*AHEM*... I, uh, I mean the joys of IT work. Who's kidding though.  Everyone
knows that we IT people love our jobs, especially the Dilbert comics that
document our endeavors.

:P
