Audio/Video demonstrating the noise levels of Dell’s PowerEdge T300 server.

by Carl Farrington on Feb.20, 2009, under Computer Stuff, News & Reviews

Here is a short video clip I shot of a PowerEdge T300 alongside my normal workstation. As you can hear, the noise is not really a problem and I don’t think it is very loud at all.

New theme.

This theme is so nice that I feel I couldn’t possibly ruin it with a banner advert at the top. I’ve only earned $33 from them in the last six months anyway!

Moved to Apache

by Carl Farrington on Feb.13, 2009, under Uncategorized

We’ve moved! Or rather the blog has moved from running on my Exchange 2003/Server 2003 box to the £99 HP Proliant ML110 G5 server that I bought a few months ago. I wish I could buy more of these at that price. They’re £400 now :(

Happy days. Move was a piece of cake except for SELinux context problems of moved webserver datafiles.

Expect unreliability as I tweak firewall rules.

The Routing and Remote Access service failed to start due to dependency service NetBIOSGroup failed to start.

by Carl Farrington on Feb.03, 2009, under Computer Stuff, Tips & Tricks

RRAS won’t start because service “NetBIOSGroup” failed to start.

This is due to broken “NetBIOS Interface” service, which provides “Group = NetBIOSGroup”.

Import the following .reg file and reboot the server: http://www.css-networks.com/netbios.reg
