New theme
by Mats Hellman on 10.May, 2010 under Nixadmins.net
I’ve been working on a new theme for the site for almost six months now. When you only have a few hours a week to work on it it takes some time. The theme should be easier to read than the previous one and most of the readers I have read to solve some problem. Due to that fact the reading should be easy.
There are still parts that are in development, like most of the forms and the search. But it should be functional and as I said, easier on the eyes when reading.
I’m also considering to make printing to PDF available so you can save some of the information on your local resources.
Hope the new look is satisfactory to everyone reading.
Sites forcing users to use Ad-blockers.
by Mats Hellman on 26.Oct, 2009 under Nixadmins.net
As some of you (the ones who don’t use Ad-blockers) might have noticed, I run Google Adsense on my site. So far the income has been very low and it has been running for almost 2 years now. The idea was to try to cover hosting expenses using advertising programs but that failed. Because of this I’m currently looking into some other advertising providers who do not provide ads that make the user feel sick.
First certification, finally a MCP
by Mats Hellman on 22.Oct, 2009 under Life, Microsoft Certification, Nixadmins.net, Windows
For those of you who have been reading my blog might have noticed a slight change in topics. Previously I worked a lot with Linux but these days most of my work is done in a Microsoft environment, this reflects on my articles since I write most my articles about things I find I need to document to remember or even things that get asked again and again in forums, like the TechNet Forums.
So working with Microsoft products and writing about Microsoft products and technologies made me realize I really need to get certified. Certification for me was a way to prove to myself I know my way around the Windows Server operating system and specifically the Active Directory (AD).
The goals for now are to get the Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Server Administrator and after that Enterprise Administrator.
The first exam done
Today I took my first exam, the Microsoft exam 083-640 or 70-640, and by doing so receiving my first certification. And now I’m awaiting my email about my MCP status. Next week I have the next test booked and during my learning and training process I’ve noticed I remember things a lot better by writing about them, so this blog will probably get updated more these weeks than it has ever been, so keep a look out for new articles you might be interested in.
Bye for now
This was all for today and as I said, keep a look out for articles you might want to read in the close future.
Nixadmins.net news
by Mats Hellman on 28.Jan, 2009 under Nixadmins.net
I’ve had problems with spam in Drupal for a while now and having my personal blog using Wordpress I noticed it handled spam a lot better. From this day nixadmins.net is running Wordpress and will move more towards a blog. I will still write articles about Linux, Administration, networking but it might also include some more personal information. Anyway, I hope you stick with me through the change and let’s hope this year will be more active than 2008.
