Fiends In Tech 2007 special

|

Coming out of the Shadows this October 24th (tomorrow)...Fiends in Tech present our 3rd Annual Halloween Special:

"It's the Great Server Chuck and Kreg"

Convinced that the Great Server will be making its yearly appearance, Kreg refuses to go Trick-or-Treating with the rest of the FiT gang and instead pulls an all-nighter in the server room.

Don't Miss it!

...and while you are waiting, be sure to revisit our earlier Specials

- The Server Room of Horrors
- The Server Room of Horrors 2006

This is the second year that I've played a part in these specials - they've been really fun to do. I've not actually listened to the whole thing yet either as I'm waiting for the official release to come out tomorrow although I know it will be a good show. Don't forget to keep an eye out on the main Friends in Tech blog for the release.

I did a short (2 min) audio clip for In The Trenches on keeping up to date with Microsoft downloads. It was fun to do - took me a couple of times to get right and I actually wrote most of the script out first to make it easier. A couple of edits to remove some annoying deep breaths and I sent it to George and Kevin to post. Let me know what you think - podcasting is harder than it sounds.

Friends In Tech Puzzler

|

I've posed a puzzler at Friends In Tech about an issue I had when upgrading a NT4 domain to Small Business Server 2003. It will be interesting to see if anyone comes up with the correct answer but also to get some responses from other techs and hopefully it will encourage conversations on the website and forums.

The 2006 FiT Christmas Special, “Lucky the Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Geeks,” will be released on December 18th. I'm playing a small part again, so make sure you check out Friends In Tech on (or before) that date or subscribe to the feed from any of the buttons on the main page.

Server Room of Horrors

The Friends In Tech Halloween special is now online. I had the script for a while but I didn't want to read any of it apart from my section so when I recorded my lines I used the search function to find my name and just read those bits. This way it was funnier to listen to and hear the jokes live. Hope you all enjoy it - you should be able to easily spot my section.....

Fit Badge.

I've included the FIT badge to the web pages now to provide a link back to FriendsInTech.

Technet event

Friends In Tech badge I'm going to be at the Microsoft Technet - Gear up with Microsoft Windows Vista and Exchange Server at Easton tomorrow morning so if you are reading this and going too then come say "Hello!" I'll be the one with the FriendsInTech button on my shirt and talking with a british accent ;-)


Geek Dinner

|

Kevin was hosting a geek dinner in Cleveland last night as part of the Friends In Tech / In The Trenches network. I asked one of the guys at work, who also listened to the show if he wanted to go to, he said yes, so last night we headed off on a 272 mile round trip for some ribs and some great company. 8 of us turned up, which is pretty small for a geek dinner, but considering we had people from Cleveland, Columbus (and wherever Kevin and Dave come from) it was a pretty good turn out really.
We had a really good time chatting about all sorts of stuff, no user bashing and Kevin sneakily managed to interview all of us for the Trench segment (which means I'll probably have to think of some new answers). George couldn't make it so Kevin rang him up and we all wished him a speedy recovery.
I've uploaded my photos to zooomr and flickr and tagged them with ClevelandGeekDinner

Friends in Tech and Firefox

|

I've been invited to join the Friends In Tech team as a blogger which was a nice offer and an honour to take up. I'll still be posting over here but will have some content on their site too now.
My first post was about the firefox upgrade to 1.5.06 and an easy way to get extensions to work afterwards.
Mike McBride was also invited to post and his first post is about having an appreciation folder in your email client.

If you read either of our blogs you will probably be interested in some of the other Friends in Tech blogs and their podcasts.
