When I decided that I wanted to start a dedicated website/blog earlier in 2018, I intended to use it to showcase what I was working on and what I have accomplished overall. I find that I work through a lot of problems, and I never share the solutions with people, which is one of the main reasons that I wanted to create this site. I also wanted to use this site to show what I was interested in with subjects other than IT, which I ended up not doing (even though I had several ideas, I never posted anything). I ended up not posting as often as I wanted to, but that will be something that I intend to change in 2019.

I recently ran into an issue with my ThinkPad while trying to run VMware Workstation 15.0 when I had the Hyper-V role installed on Windows 10 Pro 1809.

I found a good blog article about the changes that were made to the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) in the Windows 10 1809 update (or whatever it will be called when they eventually release it again) on the Windows Command Line Blog.

I had wanted to give this platform a fair chance, and here is what I found out.

The 8-Bit Guy has been working on a comprehensive history and review of the Commodore Computer family starting from the Commodore PET to the Commodore 64, all the way to the Commodore C128. I admit that I am complete nerd and I find this entire video series very interesting, mostly because for a brief time when I was a kid, I had a Commodore 64, and it was technically the first computer that I ever owned.

I ran into a few issues with running this very old operating system as a virtual machine on Hyper-V a few days ago. I needed to do this for a personal project that I am working on, one that I have been thinking about doing for a while now. Since I ran into a few issues with getting this to work correctly, I thought I should share my findings and write a quick guide on how to get Windows NT 3.51 Server and Windows NT 3.51 Workstation running on Hyper-V.

Not a lot of people realize that Windows can be used on more than just x86 and x64-based hardware. Windows NT was designed from day one to be portable on multiple hardware platforms and was supported at one time on the MIPS, Alpha, PowerPC, and Itanium platforms.
