Downloading Windows 7 RC. #
Great guide on how to get Windows 7 to run in VMware Fusion (@vmwarefusion) – http://bit.ly/17pELm #
@DavisFreeberg check out dban – http://www.dban.org/ in reply to DavisFreeberg #
it took all of 20 minutes to install Win 7 under @vmwarefusion. not bad! #
Why doesn’t Apple’s support forum offer a mobile version? After all, they are the creator of the iPhone aren’t they? #
now it says that it will only take 3 hrs (instead of 12) to copy my pictures to my #WHS. it’s amazing what a little CAT5 will do. #
@TiVo do you have to live in the Cali. area? in reply to TiVo #
having popcorn with my boys and watching Finding Nemo (via pyTiVo, had to add some geek into this tweet). #

@boyank checkout pyTiVo. you can use it to transcode vid files into TiVo comp format. Also is nice to have Netflix, YouTube and TiVoToGo. in reply to boyank #
chilling out before we go to dinner. today was yet another beautiful day! #
going to the pool and then dinner. can’t believe it is 90 deg at home today! #
@boyank I knew that would get you . in reply to boyank #
@boyank I don’t know what took you so long. It’s not like myspace. More Ajax and a better UI . in reply to boyank #
@muller_jim got it . in reply to muller_jim #
@tkane04 good decision even though it was raining. in reply to tkane04 #
Just got SimplifyMedia running as a Service on my #WHS (thanks to these @wegotserved forum instructions – http://bit.ly/RuElw) #
@mtangorre run it on a mac and you won’t have any problems . in reply to mtangorre #
Change default OSX screencap file format (via @maclife): defaults write com.apple.screencapture type JPG #

Tweetie on the Mac is pretty sweet. I think it will replace my old twitter client (twhirl). Check it out.. http://bit.ly/6FXY #
http://twitpic.com/3qfif – man date beers #
@tivogrrl, @bjdraw is always trying to get the inside scoop . in reply to tivogrrl #
going to see “Earth” with Shell and Alex. Alex is really excited. #
http://twitpic.com/3spw7 – gonna start soon… #
Ran a network drop for my WHS install last night. Gonna install the OS tonight after the kids go to bed. #
Gonna setup the server with the following drive configuration: 2 x 1TB, 1 x 500GB, 160GB (from my old comp), 500GB USB 4 external backup. #
@umdivx why is that? does it have something to do with the “landing” drive issues? i thought those were fixed with latest update. in reply to umdivx #
@umdivx is it because the #WHS won’t have to rebalance as much? I don’t completely understand how WHS balances its data. in reply to umdivx #
@HomeServerHacks thanks for getting back. and thanks to @umdivx for pointing me in the right direction. in reply to HomeServerHacks #
@TiVo up front cost. some people find it hard to spend ~$200 up front for a TiVo HD. in reply to TiVo #
@umdivx I set my #WHS up last night with the larger drive as a sys drive. now I just need to transfer all my data… in reply to umdivx #
@tivodesign are you going to be publishing this info somewhere on the web? i’d love to link to it on my blog. in reply to tivodesign #
@tivodesign i’d love a full qwerty keyboard! in reply to tivodesign #
@kromseesall @umdivx That’s my understanding as well. @homeserverhacks pointed out that it’s easier to upgrade a data dr instead of sys dr. in reply to kromseesall #
@kromseesall sounds like a plan… in reply to kromseesall #
Just purchased a copy of tweetie (@atebits). Tweetie is def’n the best Mac Twitter client. #
@kromseesall thought you might like to know that @homeserverhacks has posted a reply on their website – http://bit.ly/15ZlOT in reply to kromseesall #
just landed in charlotte on our way to jamaica #
charlotte has free wifi. sweet! #
Having a great time in Jamaica, Yeah Man! #
Downloading Mad Men (Season 1, Disc 2) off of iTunes so that we have something to watch on our way home. Gotta love that show… #

Went to bestbuy and they tried to charge me $20 for a sata cable! No thanks. I’ll pick it up from monoprice for ~$2. #
installing evaluation copy of #WHS on my old Dell Dimension. If it goes well I am going to buy a copy and use #WHS for my network storage. #
so far so good… approx 51 minutes left. If all goes well I think I am going to throw 1.5TB in the #WHS. #
I now have an eval copy of #WHS installed on my old Dimension. Gonna play around with it before I commit to purchasing a full copy license. #

Going to see @coldplay with my boy @tkane04. Should be a good time…. #
thinking about using some old hardware for a #WHS. I can reuse my old comp and buy everything else for $227.53. Sure bets $550 on a MSS. #
@DavisFreeberg best of luck. Owning a home is a great thing. in reply to DavisFreeberg #
my son is now into star wars. this is a geek’s dream come true. #
i think I am going to re-encode all of my audio cds. back in the day I encoded them at 128 kbps. gonna go back through and encode at 256. #
just started the re-encoded process. i originally encoded all of my audio cds several years ago when hd space was an issue. #
this airport extreme is a piece of shit. what makes it think that shutting off is a good thing? #
you know twitter has become mainstream when your mother (@luvbingnana) follows you. #
@luvbingnana yeah….it’s kind of weird in reply to luvbingnana #
@bradlinder really? what version are you running? in reply to bradlinder #
@bradlinder looks like 0.9.2 is available. guess i won’t upgrade just yet. in reply to bradlinder #

@tkane04 don’t get too excited. supposed to be cold later in the week . in reply to tkane04 #
my harmony remote has made me stupid. i select “Watch TV” and it takes care of everything for me. Gotta love tech… #
i think i just rediscovered music now that I have my macbook pro connected to my receiver and i’m controlling itunes via the itunes remote. #
purchased a safe deposit box so that I can store off-site backups (s3 cost too much and mozy can’t do nas). now that’s geek! #
@SgtStretch i hear ya. it feels great to finally have everything setup in my home theater. in reply to SgtStretch #
@davezatz i’m thinking about the same thing. no raid isn’t a show stopper for me since it does duplicate your content. in reply to davezatz #
testing twitter from my cell. i can’t seem to get it setup…. #
hanging out at a local habachi celeb. my wife’s 30th. #
hanging out with my boy @tkane04 #
@wegotserved is there an add-in for WHS which allows you to sleep/hibernate your server based on a schedule? Can’t seem to find it… #
@umdivx what add-ins do you use for your WHS? Seriously thinking about building my own with an old comp. #
@wegotserved much appreciated. in reply to wegotserved #
@wegotserved does it work well? I read somewhere that WHS tends to exit out of sleep for no
Apparent reason. in reply to wegotserved #
