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).

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 »

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.
