The official blog of mine.

The New (Beta from now) Microsoft Windows Server 208 R2, IIS 7.5 and the .Net Framework 4.0!

I decided that my next main site will run on these platforms to ensure that updates to new techs and be able to learn this ahead of time.

Oh I missed already my WPF days when I was able to write parallel and multi-threaded programming . Whats good about the new framework,  this time you will never directly (as what I did in the 3.5) have to write with the  pool threads or worker threads. Whew!

Also, I am so intrigue with their new class- The LAZY class.

Anyway, too much to speak about them and if you like more info on this stuffs you can visit this links below…

Old Looks and a brand new engine.

It’s been a day since the decommissioning of my last open source server, I still have my checklist of tasks to do for my new server and may I say “mine”.  Though it is only just a quarter of power with the previous one, its much more efficient in terms of power consumption (yes, due to economic crisis I had to think of my electricity bills right?). Also, I  suspended my hosting services for now because of “security reasons” with my current server’s operating system. Open Ports should be  carefully watched for suspicious and other unnecessary services should be disabled.  Here are some of the retired and added plugged in services:

HTTP ->  Obviously Retained ->  Apache replaced by IIS

FTP -> Deactivated -> N/A

DNS -> Retained -> BIND replaced by MS DNS Server

Webmin/Virtualmin(hosting mgt. tool) -> Removed -> Not needed anymore.

Source Control -> Retained -> SVN replaced by MS VS TFS and Sharepoint Server

Virtualization -> Deactivated -> hardware issues with the new one.

After almost 3 years of serving me non-stop 24/7. Reliability you can count on. My most beloved and favorite ubuntu server was now decommisioned. There were times I got frustrated with your slappy shell prompt typing limitless commands. Mouse is unknown to you. No fancy GUI or anything just your favorite black background screen. But you were powerful. You were above from the CentOS family for me. Your speed and flexibility and not to mention your renouned ‘idiot-proof’ property makes me proud of you.

I will miss our daily apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.

We will meet up soon again.

Goodbye!
