ESX Ramcheck

Just found this over at xtravirt

A built in alternative to Memtest86 for ESX3

Instead of Memtest86 you also have the option of running 'ramcheck' which is a background memory tester built into ESX3. To start it, log into the ESX Service Console as root (or su / sudo) and run:
service ramcheck start

Check the link for more details....

Windows Server 2008

Am I the only person on the planet to have missed this? I remember the good old days where I waited with baited breath for the release date. Heck Windows 95 was released on my birthday for heaven's sake.... But I guess Longhorn Server was delayed soooooo much that I dont even care any more. I saw this post:
Windows Server 2008

And then go check at the M$ site and sure enough.... Win2k8 (boy that was weird) is out there.

So now I begin to download/install this new version as a VM so I dont loose my edge... But a part of me wonders.... Is it me that is loosing the edge or is is M$??? With all the new rage being going to Apple and the Mac (along with my unreasonable urge to by a Macbook Pro), is M$ loosing the edge?

TMR-bt8ip Bluetooth iPod adapter

I got this little guy this weekend and I must say I am completely supprized. It works awesome with my Motorola S9 headset. Being new to the whole BT audio deal it freaked me out when the first phone call came in while listening to music. The iPod paused and I started hearing the ring alert in my left ear. :D

The best thing is now I have no wires at all so the appearance of "geek factor" is reduced...
