edit: You're seeing this post about a week after I wrote it...
Not much to report this week, spent most of it working in South Dakota.
Monday, Day 19: Worked all day, then spent a good part of the evening building a Windows Home Server. I have to say, it was a really easy process. I'm using a refurb Dell Optiplex GX280 that I picked up for < $200 at MicroCenter. I ran into TWO small snags while building it. The first was a driver issue (easily resolved with a trip to the Dell website) and the second was the size of the internal drive (too small.) I replaced the internal with a much larger SATA drive (which I intended to do anyway) and everything else worked like a champ. I'm sitting at about 1.5TB right now, but I suspect I'll be picking up a few more drives soon.
Tuesday, Day 20: just another day at work, not much to report. Spent some time working on a text parser, which was a lot of fun. Kind of like playing Where's Waldo, only in code.
Wednesday, Day 21 - Friday, Day 23: Same as above. Maybe I'll write an article about the text parsing I'm doing. Sanitized of course, to remove anything client specific. We'll see.
