What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Calling it a day. Heading out to walk the Mean Streets of San Francisco to get back to the BART station at 16th and Mission and head back to San Bruno where we are planning to get dinner at Shari's.
-
Morning people
-
Talking to girls...
-
Have been watching The Witcher III in 3D which was pretty awesome.
-
OMG OMG OMG!!
Youtube Video -
Riding the first Metra train of the morning from the house to downtown Chicago so I can catch a MegaBus to St. Louis.
-
Also, missing my family. My wife just sent me these pictures of the kids at the Okegawa city summer matsuri (festival) that started today.
-
Finally have Nagios monitoring sending emails out... that has been one of those back burner tasks for far too long. Now I plan on getting ELK to work correctly.
-
About to get lunch while waiting for a 12GB log file to download so that I can start to analyze it.

Very pleased with Windows 10 notifications, reminds me of how KDE does theirs.

Is there going to be a clean upgrade path from the Win 10 technical preview to the release version?

For some reason I doubt it. I don't remember there being one for any of the recent releases Vista through 8.

I don't follow. I assume by upgrade he means use upgrade/full media to install windows 10 clean, and not really do an upgrade.
What I've read is speculated - after you upgrade your computer, you can download an ISO, then use that ISO to install cleanly Windows 10. Your computer will then check in with MS and register itself against some ID that MS has stored from when your computer did the upgrade. One example of something they could store would be your Windows 8(8.1) key that's stored in the BIOS, assuming as someone mentioned a little while ago that it really is different for every machine deployed, and not generic like it was for Windows 7.

You may want to read his comment again. We are talking about going from the technical preview to the release OS. In Windows Vista, 7, and 8 that wasn't possible and required a wipe and install of the most recent version.

Doh - yep... missed that!
OK that front Paul Thurrott has reported that your machine WILL be upgraded from preview to RTM code and no clean reinstall will be needed.
Current what we don't know is if we will receive a RTM candidate before the final RTM that should be pushed to us on July 29.
I can't find it now, but I read an article last night about how MS has changed the windows update path that all of the Preview members were on over to the normal - real - update servers.
FYI, MS just dropped a new build a few hours ago. 10240

Thanks good to know. That is good to hear considering how it used to work in the past.

Installing Windows 10 build 10240...

Trying to filter some huge logs by date. Really sucks.
