I needed to use this blog today to go back and look at what I had written back in February about moving icons around on the Blackberry, so I learned a valuable lesson today; keep on blogging!
I enjoy blogging, and know that in order to remember some of the tips and tricks I am picking up I need to have a central repository of information, hence Computer Pooh. However, it is not every day that I get confirmation that an idea of mine is a good one, yet here I am blogging about one.

I am continuing to study for my first MCSE test. As a matter of fact, I really want to take the first one here in September, yet I am not sure I am ready.
I have been looking at the performance monitor this week, and wanted to quickly blog here the items that are best to monitor so I can log in an see this from the web.
- Networking: Network Interface- bytes sent/sec and bytes total/sec; Server - bytes rec'd/sec and it should be no more than 50% of bandwidth; TaskManager - Network Utilization should be 30% or lower
- Disks: Physical Disks - %disk time should be less than 50%; Physical Disks - Current disk queue length should be between 0 - 2%
- Memory: Memory - pages/sec should be 0 - 20%; Memory - Available bytes should be 5% + of RAM; Memory - Committed bytes should be less than RAM; Memory - Pooled Non-paged bytes should be steady; Memory - Page faults/sec should be below 5
- Processor: Processor - % Processor Time should be less than 85%; System - Process queue length should be less than 10%; Server Work Queues - Queue length should be less than 4%; Processor - interrupts/sec should be steady to low
