Consider this a notice that the format of the blog will change. I won’t be removing anything, but I will be blogging about more topics. I started the blog as a place to post good information only, and it has served its purpose so far. I really held back posting anything not a HOW-TO or documentation on a specific topic or issue. I thought this gave me an interesting twist on the normal blog site. Most blogs are posts with links to other pages and perhaps some short commentary. If I wanted that, I would just load Slashdot where I can get the comments of more than just one person.

After not having anything to post about because of my blog format, I’m going loosen up a bit more and post on other topics. I’m not sure how far I will go with it, but I’m not going to hold myself back so much anymore.

If you will be at the eTech Ohio Educational Technology Conference next week, come see me. I have 2 sessions: Virtualization Everywhere and Desktop Deployment. Both are on Wednesday afternoon. If you are looking for the notes/slides from these sessions, just click the appropriate heading at the top of the site. You should be able to download the handouts from there.

I hope to post some thoughts on the sessions I visit each day, so look out for those.

Update: I think I will post results and new ideas from the sessions when I get home instead of trying to do it here in the hotel. I also updated all the handouts to the newest version of the slideshow tonight. If you saw the session and have comments, leave a comment on this post!

Just a heads up to a bug I found in Wordpress while trying to get my pages in order. Any backslashes I used in my code or scripts in pre tags would eventually be eaten by Wordpress and create garbage. Here’s the fix:
