Moving Team Foundation to a new server
Good write up of steps here.
SPN, Service Principal Names, SetSPN, Kerberos
Recently migrated a webserver to a different domain and immediately started having trouble with Windows User authentication using IE.
Worked fine with Firefox or with IE if you used the IP address of the webserver. Just not with IE using the NetBIOS or FQDN of the webserver. Ended up being SPN and Kerberos issues.

Comcast HD sucks? Not anymore.
A technician came out and fixed whatever the problem was. He had to go up the pole in front of the house. No idea what he did. Seems to be working fine now though.
Comcast seems to be prowling the web for unhappy customers, if you notice the comment on the previous post. Not a bad thing.
Comcast HD sucks?
Anybody else experiencing crappy HD on Comcast these days? Has been choppy video and sound for about the last month and a half for us. Only on the HD channels.
Send email from Ubuntu
Let’s say you have a home Ubuntu server behind router and you want to be able to send emails via a cron job or Nagios or something like that. Here is how to configure Exim4 to do that.
Loading Ubuntu Server on G4 Powerbook
Slightly tricky as Ubuntu 8.10 server doesn’t recognize the cd-rom drive.
First, the Ubuntu server download is available here.
Second, the fix so the install will recognize the cd-rom is here. The important part is this:
“The cd issue could be solved in my imac G3 slot-loading typing in the command prompt (switch to another virtual screen with Ctrl-Alt-F2):
modprobe ide-scsi
then when asked for a cd device answer /dev/scd0″
That worked on my 667 mhz G4 titanium DVI Powerbook also.
