Solved! Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scheduled Tasks working and then stopping again after a password update
Solved. I recently moved a group of Windows Server 2003 servers to a new data center and upon recreating the scheduled tasks from the previous server, the tasks would run fine for about a day and then stop.

What does it mean for Oracle to buy Sun and Virtual Iron? A play for the Cloud
Last summer I signed up for a developer account with 3Tera in their AppLogic Cloud environment to begin testing it as a a place to move our current managed hosting environment.

Tinkering at Home Continued
The last time I posted about my home setup, I spoke about Virtual Iron. I went out and purchased a 4GB USB thumb drive and downloaded the Virtual Iron Standalone Edition and set up the USB drive to install. And then it occured to me....Virtual Iron is great, but the server I was planning on installing on was the same server that I wanted to use for my media server and my asterisk server. So unless I had another server lying around to display my media, this wasn't going to work.
So I decided to reload my server with Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) and install boxee. I then installed vmware server and set up my asterisk virtual machine with the saved vm from my previous server install and within a half hour or so my phone system was back up and running and I was playing with boxee.
