Charliebrownau File server Rebuild - Nov 2009

tafedude@hotmail.com — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:30:31 GMT

Today was Step 2 in the File Server rebuild
Step 1 was moving the old 478 system + Drives into new case)

Today I installed and upgraded the server from Socket 478 to 775.
Before I hear all the screaming people "But i5 with it's new socket type is out"
Yes I know but I couldnt find a motherboard I liked on 775 and the CPU's cost a truckload.

Server went from an:

* Asus Socket 478 Motherboard with Intel 3.00 ghz Prescott CPU
to
Asus P5q Deluxe 775 Motherboard with 2.8GHZ Duel Core CPU (E6300)

* It went from having 512 meg of RAM to now having 4 gig of Duel Channel Twin Pack Geil EvoONE 1066 DDR2 RAM

* It went from using an IDE Drive as the OS drive to using an Kingston SSD 64 gig Drive

* It went from using an AGP Nvidia Geforce4mx440-se 8x 64 video card to
an ATI 3650 512MB PCI-Express video card with VGA/DVI/HDMI+HDMI Audio.

* It went from having an ICH5 Intel SATA1 onboard Controller (2 drives)
to now supporting Onboard ICH10 Intel SATA2 onboard (6 drives) + 2 extra sata that are raid only
(In my 2010 upgrade Ill get PCI express SATA3/SATA2 Raid 6 hardware addon card)

* It has gone from Windows 2003 Custom Nlited 32 bit to Windows 2003 SP2 R2 Stock 64bit OS

Will post photos later on ( I really need a digital camera instead of using the webcam on lappy)

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 autoupdate blocker application
======================================

Microsoft is going to distribute Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 as a high-priority update
via Automatic Updates for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 soon
after the final version of the browser is released (planned for fourth quarter 2006).

Microsoft is making a non-expiring Blocker Toolkit available for those that would like to block automatic delivery of Internet Explorer 7
to machines in environments where Automatic Updates is enabled.

* The Blocker Toolkit will prevent machines from receiving Internet Explorer 7 as a high-priority update via Automatic Updates and the “Express” install option on the Windows Update and Microsoft Update sites. The Blocker Toolkit will not expire.

* The Blocker Toolkit will not prevent users from manually installing Internet Explorer 7 as a Recommended update from the Windows Update or Microsoft Update sites, from the Microsoft Download Center, or from external media.

* Organizations do not need to deploy the Blocker Toolkit in environments managed with an update management solution such as Windows Server Update Services or Systems Management Server 2003. Organizations can use those products to fully manage deployment of updates released through Windows Update and Microsoft Update, including Internet Explorer 7, within their environment.

Blade focuses on Marvel Comics' eponymous,
immortal warrior fighting a shadowy underworld
of vampires who want to destroy the human race.

battle the demonic creatures of the night in a
blood-drenched crusade to prevent the ascendance of
vampires over mankind.

Blade The Series 1x01 (29/Jun/2006) (Pilot)
Blade The Series 1x02 (06/Jul/2006)
Blade The Series 1x03 (13/Jul/2006)

USA Cable's Spike TV has given the green light to its first original drama series, picking up 13 hours of "Blade" for a summertime (USA) premiere.The show, based on the Marvel Comics character-turned-movie franchise, is scheduled to premiere in June with a two-hour pilot. Kirk "Sticky" Jones ("Over There") takes over the title role, a half-human, half-vampire "daywalker" who protects the human race from vampires, from Wesley Snipes, who played Blade in three films."We're extremely pleased with the pilot for 'Blade,' which delivers a thrilling action-adventure for its built-in fan base as well as a character-driven drama filled with heart-pounding tension and suspense," says Pancho Mansfield, who oversees original programming for Spike.

Tsuyokisu (2006) {Anime}

tafedude@hotmail.com — Thu, 18 May 2006 13:21:11 GMT

Official Site: http://www.tsuyokiss.jp/
Category: TV
Total Episodes: Uknown
Genres: Game, Harem, School Life
Year Published: 2006
Asian Studio: Candy Soft

Description
This anime is based on a game by Candy Soft.
The game is a typical dating simulation that takes place in a high school.
However, the selling point of this game is that all(?) the female characters are "tsundere"(*).

The main character, Tsushima Reo, isn't engaged in either sports or study, and
he is always hanging around with his childhood friends, Samesuga Shinichi,
Date Subaru, and Kanisawa Kinu.

He secretly loves Kiriya Eria. She is a daughter of Kiriya Cooperation, very beautiful,
smart, and a student leader. However, her acts are very eccentric. Therefore, at the
same time she is loved by many students, she is hated by as many students.

One day, because the main characters are being late for school, they try to sneak
into the campus. However, a girl knocks them out to catch. It is Kurogame Otome.
She is Reo’s cousin, and Reo thought of her as his elder sister when they were children, but they haven’t met for years. Soon, she begins to live with Reo in the same house in order to change his lazy life.

(*) Tsundere is a slang born in the Internet, and it is a word to describe the nature of female anime or game characters. Tsundere is a word combining two words, "Tsun Tsun" and "Dere Dere". Both terms describe attitudes of a person. "Tsun Tsun" is used for cold/blunt/curt attitude, while "Dere Dere" is used when a person becomes spoony in front of his/her lover. Therefore, "Tsundere" is a female character who is usually cold, but she becomes spoony on her lover. Or, she is cold to the main character at first, but she becomes lovestruck later
