Moving Site
Sep 20th
My job role has changed so much over the last 6 months I have managed to move back into the windows environment looking after multiple hyper-v clusters and SAN’s. Because of this I am starting to write articles in scvmm.co.uk or ddccentral.co.uk (Same site)
I am going to keep this site running and will post to it from time to time but I am now going to concentrate on Microsoft System Centre and there DDC toolkit with hyper-V
P.S.
I still personal run multiple debian boxes (without plesk) so I will still be around Linux I have not completely moved over to the dark side.
Happy Days.

You have to laugh, there are some strict rules on who can purchase a .ie domain. Try and buy an Irish domain (.ie) from register365.com, once you have searched for the domain name that you want to purchase click on “Restriction Information” next to the .ie you get the follow (can you see the mistake):
