Long Weekend of Geek-ery
By Nick Hodge | January 27, 2008
The above is Liam’s new Garry’s Mod Server (THEGRID) in the process of being re-animated. New 350Gb PATA drive into the old Dell 5150. PATA is finicky: This master/slave mode plus correct ribbon cables makes the process harder than you would think. Windows XP SP2, Remote Desktop and we are away.
Also, Kudos to Microsoft Activation support. In the haste to move Liam to his new machine, we forgot to de-activate the new Microsoft Flight Simulator X Acceleration Pack (and during the school holidays, he’d installed it onto a friend’s PC whilst having a game fest. Yes, this is not cool!). Thankfully, Microsoft support fixed this in a phonecall on the weekend. Good to see our support guys care!
