When I thought of this blog, it came to me that I am doing this thing as sort of a notebook for me to record just about anything about some tech stuff that I m recently into. It also brings out the writer side of me. When the editor in chief of my university’s newsletter asked me to do an article on the latest technological changes in the university I decided to give it a shot. Here are my two articles  featured in the newsletter : USLT Goes ADSL If you are surfing the web from home with a typical modem or you have tried using the internet access stations at the IMMO office during the first few weeks of this school year, you are familiar with the bursts, pauses, long access time and slow motion in the Internet highway during "rush hours". No wonder some people call the World Wide Web the "World Wide Wait". Because of the continuous commitment of the university to provide a better and faster access to information, a one year contract was recently signed by the Univer...

Can't Log On to Windows XP?(by Vic Ferri) If that’s your only problem, then you probably have nothing to worry about. As long as you have your Windows XP CD, you can get back into your system using a simple but effective method made possible by a little known access hole in Windows XP. This method is easy enough for newbies to follow – it doesn’t require using the Recovery Console or any complicated commands. And it’s free - I mention that because you can pay two hundred dollars for an emergency download of Winternals ERD with Locksmith which is a utility for unlocking lost Windows passwords.

After two weeks of scratching heads and thinking hard i finally got the IBM server up and running once again. It was really a great experience on my part being new to this stuff so i jot down some thoughts that might be of help the next time i fool around with the DNS server 1. Configuring the servers RAID setting was abit tricky and it presented some issues that i learned through the process a. You cannot just remove a partition using fdisk if the drive is in an array. You need to enter the raid setup and manual remove the mirroring before proceeding with the next step. 2. Branded server like IBM provides installation CD that will help you configure and setup the server and the good thing about it is that it provides a way to set up scripts to do unattended installation of some NOS. 3. Installing windows 2003 server is as easy as installing Windows XP . Configuring it though is a little bit tricky. 4. DHCP setup is fine, DNS a little confusi...
