    Posted Jul 12, 2013 - 12:00 am

    A few months ago I embarked on a journey to build an enterprise grade, rack mount server from scratch for our business. The project was a success on all accounts and we’re happily running a slew of virtual machines on the box today. That’s not to say I wouldn’t make some changes on the next build, which it so happens is being completed as we speak.

  • Is buying a next-gen console responsible?

    Posted Oct 01, 2013 - 08:00 am

    I’ve been into video games my entire life. I’ve saved up and purchased just about every console platform and generation since the original NES. I currently own a PS3 and Xbox 360 but both are collecting dust now that I’m over thirty years old, married, baby and career laden. I want a reason to buy a nex-gen console this year but so far I can’t find that reason.
