Increasing your Windows XP NTFS disk size under VMware Workstation 7
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/11
Searching how to increase your Windows XP NTFS partitions of Virtual Machines running under VMware Workstation 7 gets you a truckload of links trying to get you to do all sorts of command-line like vmware-vdiskmanager and such.
That was indeed the case up till VMware Workstation 6.5, but from version 7 on, it has become much easier.
But the links with difficult steps keep appearing at the top of the search queries.
Hence this blog entry: increasing the NTFS partition size in a Windows VM is easy!
The increase is a two step process:
- In VMware Workstation, increase the size of the physical disk
- Increase the NTFS partion on that physical disk
Step 1 has become much easier since VMware Workstation version 7, you can do it from within VMware Workstation now.
Dinesh describes this small process very well in his Expand Disk in VMware Workstation 7 blog post. Read the rest of this entry »

The hilarious answer on Stack Overflow in why not to parse html with RegEx
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/09
Quite a while ago, user bobince wrote great answer on why not to parse html with RegEx.
Somehow people fail to recognize the brilliance of the answer, and try to simplify it into something like “don’t, use an XML or HTML parser in stead”.
bobince even posted some nice contra-examples that are impossible to parse in RegEx (heck, even most regular HTML and XML parsers have difficulties with them).
So: enjoy the beauty of the answer while it is still locked for editing.
