WordPress Pages and Page Order
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/10/15
WordPress Page Order is a number increasing from left to right.
You can have holes in the number sequence.
So, back to the BASIC and FORRAN line numbering schemes (increment bij 100, 10, or you name it).

Windows XP: changing the HAL to support multiple cores (actually: two CPUs)
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/10/14
A while ago, I moved a single CPU Windows XP VM from VMware Workstation to ESXi 4.1 using the standalone VMware vCenter converter.
In ESXi, I increased the CPU count from 1 to 2, and wanting to to for 4 (since I had been running Windows on a quadcore CPU before).
Well, that turned out to be harder than I thought… Read the rest of this entry »

ENDIAN Firewall – Connected client can access EFW but no other hosts: enable promiscuous mode on VMware ESXi
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/10/12
While solving a problem with Windows 7 machines not being able to ping the machines on the GREEN LAN of an Endian when connecting through OpenVPN, but XP machines could, I did a few upgrades, then went on to solve the problem.
- Upgraded from ESX 3.5 to ESXi 4.1 (I needed this anyway because of Pass Through USB support)
- Upgraded the community edition appliance from Endian 2.2 to Endian 2.4 (which has more configuration options, and better ways for reporting and logging)
Then I went on solving the issue, which I suspected was a kind of routing problem. Read the rest of this entry »

Embarcadero moving GoToWebinar/GoToMeeting this month from Live Meeting
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/10/11
One of the annoying issues with LiveMeeting is that it has no way to set the audio level under which it should mute.
In other words: the auto-muting logic of LiveMeeting cannot be influenced, so you get strange audio articats.
So I’m glad that DavidI announced during CodeRage that Embarcadero will be moving to http://www.gotomeeting.com/fec/webinar later this month.

Endian – Register EFW Community: watch your email addresses
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/10/08
Endian is a nice *nix based open source firewall appliance which has a free Community Edition (which always is a virtual appliance) and paid (either virtual or physical) edition.
It does a lot of things, including spam filtering, http caching, proxying, VPN, DHCP, routing, et cetera.
Those things are done very well, in a reasonably small footprint:
Registering for their community edition is meant to enable the on-line update mechanism for it.
It is supposed to work like this:
- You enter your email address
- They dispatch a mail to you with a verification link
- Clicking the verification link confirms that email address, and flags it in their database as valid for Endian Community updates
- You enter the same email on your Endian appliance to get updates
But using that registration is hard: their registration mechanism has at least two flaws: Read the rest of this entry »

I did the upgrade using Using the vMA virtual appliance, the statements are these:

VS2010: “ASP.NET Web Service Application” (and other) projects gone
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/10/05
In Visual Studio 2010, the empty “ASP.NET Web Service Application” projects are gone.
This is probably because Microsoft rather has you use WCF, so a few of those “older” templates are now gone:
To simplify things a bit in 2010, we’ve removed a few of the older templates. You can get the same thing by creating an empty website and adding a web service to it.
Funny though, as the “old” templates are still mentioned, of course in their ASP.NET 3.5 web service documentation, but also in their Visual Studio 2010 ASP.NET Web services documentation :-)
