I love what I do.

I love technology and education. Maybe you like knitting. Cool. My thing is educational technology.

Really? Microsoft? Do you really write such bad code?

Tuesday, October 12, 2010

This Tuesday, October 12th, I'm going to have over 600 machines downloading a patch so big that Microsoft needed to warn system administrators about it.

Really?

Massive Link here and here's the PDF in case Microsoft wants us to forget this ever happened.

So now I need to buy a Windows update server so I can serve my updates internally. I'm going to have to pay for an update server and manage it; can someone please explain this whole "macs are more expensive" things to me again?

On 23 October 2010, Peter inscribed the following thoughts about this post:

My lab runs GNU/Linux with an apt-cacher server. Once one machine has downloaded updates from the net, a local copy is stored. The rest of the machines download the updates locally - so it takes just a few seconds.

This is my full resume translated into Polish. My wife tells me it is a literal translation, and as such might convey a slightly different meaning to Polish speakers.
