After all these years of having nice wizards and configuration menus to help you set up your servers, Microsoft is releasing a server version of Windows that comes with no GUI, just a command line. Time to join us Linux sysadmins in doing it the good old fashioned way.
Trust me, its more fun this way anyway and you learn more about how things work. Plus the non-technical people around you think you´re doing something really complicated!

Macromedia kept Studio 8 quiet
– August 22, 2005Posted in: Software, Web Development
I try to keep up to date with whats going on in the IT world, either through the various news letters, news sites, other blogs and magazines. I´m interested in anything to do with IT (partly because I need to for my job, partly because I´m a big geek), but obviously because of my main job role I´m more interested in the web side of things.
Because of this I was quite suprised to find out that the new version of Macromedia´s product group, Studio 8 is about to be released (ish). The fact that I found out about it from a magazine as well, which is normally a few weeks behind the online sources but a bit more concrete in it´s information, was also suprising. I don´t know if Macromedia were trying to keep this one a bit more low-profile, if my holidays means I just missed it all completely, or if the whole Macromedia/Adobe thing just took up everyone´s column space.
I´ve only had a chance to go and have a quick look at the site and sign up for the trial version notification but it looks as though they might have put a fair few improvements in it (especially Dreamweaver) that could make it worth the upgrade. Time to investigate!
