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…

Windows Server 2008 R2

IIS 7

ASP.Net / .Net Framework 4.0

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 a year of electrical bill expenditures.

After a year of frequent maintenance, upgrading and updating of server.

After a year of every single hour checking online availability of the server.

After a year of hard work.

After a year of dedication.

And after a year of SACRIFICE.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MICHAEL-YAP.COM!
