My laptop :: My Mean Machine

Finally, I have got the time to give myself an explanation as to why I haven't been blogging for almost a month???

Well....For a long time now I was a writer without a pen and paper... I dint have my Laptop ;)
Suddenly live felt strange, office seemed better with all the systems nearby... :)

But now, I am back to normal... :D

Just bought myself a brand new piece ... My Mean Machine...I believed it would be simply Just to put down my first entry on this achievement. So here it goes:

What makes it a Mean Machine?

• Compaq Presario C700

• Intel Pentium Dual Core 1.7GHz

• 3GB DDR2 RAM

• 15.4 Widescreen

• Integrated wireless, bluetooth & webcam

• 160Gb Sata Hard Drive

• I have another 500Gb My Book that I use for storing all my content so 160Gb was sufficient enough for the Laptop

• Apart from this all the other stuff that a Laptop requires.

Got Windows XP SP2 up and running along with a VPC session of Windows Server 2008 Evaluation Copy ... Well don't know how long that's gonna last ;(

Oh that reminds me.. I have already started work on An Introduction to IIS 7 PowerShell Provider - Part 3

Just in case you didn't read the first two parts. You can read them at:
An Introduction to IIS 7 PowerShell Provider - Part1
An Introduction to IIS 7 PowerShell Provider - Part 2

Software Tech:

• Microsoft Office (more of a necessity than a luxury)
• Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition
• IIS 7 (Of Course!) on my evaluation copy of server 2008.
• PowerShell along with the IIS 7 PowerShell Provider
• Another Small Setup of Apache 2.x along with PHP 5 and My SQL. Long time association. Just can't get rid of it.

Involvements:

• Just completed a fairly simple and small HTTP module for IIS 7 on the new setup. Great feeling right from the 1st time I heard about this feature. Which feature am I talking about?

Well in IIS7, you can now build your own custom HTTP Module and integrate it along with the core server engine. Sounds good eh? Not over yet, It works even better :) ... but more of that later.

As always do let me know if you have any questions to any of the related topics or anything that you fancy in IIS.
