Windows Server 2003, anyone?

I just signed up for my first Microsoft Event highlighting Windows Server 2003. I don't really feel like going, but if I have a chance for one prize, that'd be nice. I'll probably end up with a TechNet subscription, if anything.

The other nice bonus is usually getting to go somewhere decent for lunch, for a change (and on the Business account, even). Perhaps I can convince everyone going to go to the Cheesecake Factory.

I spent quite a while last night flipping through the MusicChoice channels. When I had Dish Network, I didn't usually agree with the songs picked for each of the genres. This was not the case with the MusicChoice channels. I really enjoyed the 80s, and New Wave channels, and it gave me more ideas for stuff to download. I haven't fully recreated my precious collection of MP3s since their demise during a horrible hard drive crash.

I still have some 75 CDs sitting beside my computer waiting to be ripped.

I'm still shuddering about this horrible wood chipper story. I didn't believe it at first, but sure enough, it happened.

And lastly, you know it's a good day at work when my other co-workers have been playing Civ III: Play the World and Magic the Gathering for the last two and a half hours or so. . .

File Searching

Not too long ago, I asked someone whether or not they used the spyware infested version of Kazaa. They did.

It only now occurred to me to share the pristine version of Kazaa, Kazaa Lite. Used in conjunction with Peer Guardian, you should be pretty much set. There are a few features that regular Kazaa doesn't have, most notably the Auto Search More feature, and the auto retry for downloads.

Enjoy!
