Changes ahead

Over the weekend I am going to try to move the blog to WordPress.org. The WordPress.com hosted blog has been great and has some nice widgets to play with, but I have become quickly frustrated with code being stripped front the site when I have tried so do something like adding a Windows Live SkyDrive [...]

Beta Testers Needed – Diskeeper 2008 for WHS

Phil Churchill has reported over on his MS Windows Home Server blog that Diskeeper are looking for 50 beta tester for an upcoming Windows Home Server release.
