Hello. I’m from the heartland of U.S. Lots of corn and beans, although Iowa is a lot more than just farmland. It also has a few computer enthusiasts (no, not me!). I’ve been around PC’s since I got my 1st PC XT aloooong time ago. WGS is one of the first sites I found centered around WHS. And the best. Every once in awhile, I do get away from the KB and enjoy time with and my wife and our 4 kids. And I do have a day job.
Add-In Update: WHS Health
The guys over at Mediasmartserver.net released another update to their WHS Health add-in, bringing this add-in up to v1.0.0.13.

Tuesday, March 9, 2010
I have a folder in my IE Favorites titled “Sites to check for WGS news” Sometimes I even open that folder and check out a few of the URLs. Tonight, I opened that folder and clicked on eHomeUpgrade. 3 of the 4 most recent posts dealt with Tablets.

Tuesday, March 9, 2010
I turned on my computer a bit earlier. A message came up indicating a new version of Microsoft Security Essentials was available. I opened MSE and sure enough, the Upgrade now button was there.

Sunday, March 7, 2010
Let’s talk about something near and dear to you: your pocketbook. When Windows Home Server was released to the computing world, a small group of adventurous souls started writing add-ins for WHS. Most were free. Most are still free, but that is changing.

Saturday, March 6, 2010
Seems like Microsoft is finding new ways to get the ear of the Internet (YouTube) connected generation. I spotted this over on Windows Home Server Blog, and thought there might be a few out there who might want to check out all the WHS YouTube videos from one place.

Saturday, March 6, 2010

Thursday, March 4, 2010
There is an axiom somewhere that states “data will expand to fill available storage space”. Many of the OEM WHS solutions available today are 4-bay appliances. Fill them with 1.5TB drives (the current sweet spot of cost/TB ratio), add a few movies (or more), and turn on folder duplication. What do you have? No HDD space!

Thursday, March 4, 2010
Every once in awhile, I see a thread started in the forums on using a WHS as a print server. As my printer has an Ethernet port, I never really paid much attention to these threads as a result. That all may change due to a company called ThinPrint.

Tuesday, March 2, 2010
Engadget is reporting that nVidia’s latest chipset, the Ion 2 is now official. There are a lot of words I like hearing together: netbooks; HDMI; 1080p Blu-ray and Flash playback; Windows 7 Home Premium; mainstream gaming; 10 hours of battery life.
