Blog of the Chief Nerd

I’ve just been migrating a server to a new machine, I decided that the best way was to clone the disk so I went hunting on the internet looking for a great little utility called PowerQuest Diskcopy.  It was great, it would fit on a bootable floppy you’d install the source and target disks in a machine boot it from a floppy and it would make an exact copy of the drive.

Only it seems that PowerQuest have now been absorbed by Symantec and the Diskcopy utility seems to have dissapeared without trace, presumably absorbed in to some piece of bloatware that does loads of things I don’t need with a price to match.

 GRRRRRRR - Can’t help feeling this blog is turning into a rant!

In a desparate (and probably fruitless) attempt to keep one step ahead of the spammers I have moved the blog to some webspace hosted by my company and we are now running WordPress, which is easier to administer (and delete trackback spam!)

Well I’m glad to see the spammers are making good use of this blog even if noone else looks at it, I’ve now had to remove and block five spammer trackbacks in the course of a week!

Here’s a little heads-up guys! Moderation is on and your spam will never be shown!

Anyone else get fed up with the sheer amount of time we have to spend dealing with this rubbish? A quick check of my email reveals 22 (real) messages and 13 junk ones!
