The blog deals mostly with problems and their respective solutions that I find on day to day basis at my current workplace. Most of the issues so far deal specifically with Virtualization (mostly Microsoft related), 64-bit migration, and Windows 2003 issues.
Many of the problems I have faced in various projects have been solved by reading someone else's blog. This is an effort to pay back and hopefully someone will be able to solve some of their problems by reading something within these pages.
