WooHoo! I took the 70-219 yesterday and passed it. That officially leaves just 1 more exam until I have my MCSE. On to the 70-220…

I know it seems strange for someone who’s pursuing an MCSE to jump ship from IIS and load Apache webserver, but hey, I’m realistic. I’m tired of loading service pack after service pack just to keep the latest worm or exploit at bay. And I’m really tired of patching files to make them run under IIS when they run under everything else just fine. So, there you go, sorry Bill. This also means that I’ll be putting more how to’s up soon. It shouldn’t take to long to put them together, I should have more time now that I’m not patching IIS ; )

WooHoo! I took the 70-217 yesterday and passed it. That officially leaves just 2 more exams until I have my MCSE. On to the 70-219…

The Fat of the LAN web server was upgraded from a Pentium II 400 with 294 MB’s of RAM, to a 2 Gigahertz Celeron with 512 MB’s of RAM. The new system rejected my RAID card like a new kidney so it’s now handled by the OS. It also got a OS upgrade and all of the latest security patches. Overall, it’s a lot quicker.

For those of you who are interested in IDS, I’ve added Snort support to the site including downloads, links, thread in the forums, and a How-To article for installing Snort.
