The Ramblings of Ken

Update - 1/29/2013: This turned out to be a partitioning error.  I created a new virtual disk with a new partitioning scheme and cloned my data over to the new partitions.  That fixed the problem. Original Post: Something is very wrong here.  I've been trying for about six months to upgrade an old Windows Server 2003 file server to Windows Server 2008.  I have...

Update 1/29/2013: I am now using a micro sim adapter for my nano sim.  Obviously, this works much better. Original Post: I got my iPhone 5 on Friday.  I'm loving the device.  However, this post isn't a review of the device.  I won't go into any details about it.  I just want to talk about the nano sim in this post. As you may know from a previous post,...

I just got done migrating all of my old posts from backups of my website dating back to 2005!  I just got years of history back and I am excited about it!  I forgot how much I used to actually post on my site.  It used to be an engaging place for conversation amongst my friends.  It's all back now.

Update - 8/14/2012: I've since wiped my MacBook Air Linux and Windows partitions. I just wasn't using them enough. Windows 8 completely strikes me as a mess of an operating system. I may come back to post step by step instructions as I do this again with the final version of Windows 8.This post is a work in progress, bear with me...I successfully have a triple boot with Mac OS X, Windows 8 Release Preview, and Gentoo Linux again on my MacBook Air. I used to have a triple boot...

Verizon Wireless is killing unlimited data. It's true. I was so upset about this when I read the article that I picked up the phone to call and cancel my account with them. However, I remembered that $350 early termination fee that I would have to pay and I hung up the phone before even making the call.There have been official updates since then from Verizon saying that you will only be forced off of an unlimited plan if you purchase a new subsidized device and renew your contract...
