ESXi Embedded Host Client – VMware Labs

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/22

Interesting stuff to play with the next few weeks:

This version of the ESXi Embedded Host Client is written purely in HTML and JavaScript, and is served directly from your ESXi host and should perform much better than any of the existing solutions.

Thanks Paul Braren for sharing this.

If Skype Group chats suddenly fail on Windows: go back to SkypeSetup_6.21.0.104.msi

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/22

Had a co-worker where Skype suddenly failed handle groups. He could not send to nor receive group messages. On his Windows machine, Skype auto-upgraded to 7.17.32.115. On his smartphone, everything worked fine..

Downgrading him to 6.21.0.104 solved the issue.

I got it from https://web.archive.org/web/20141213144457/http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.21.0.104.msi

paping – Cross-platform TCP port testing, emulating the functionality of ping (port ping) – Google Project Hosting

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/22

Hopefully someone will move this to Github before Google code goes down: paping – Cross-platform TCP port testing, emulating the functionality of ping (port ping) – Google Project Hosting.

Paping (pronounced pah ping) is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network and to measure the time it takes to connect to a specified port

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/21

Apache configuration can be tough, so here are some links related to RewriteRule.

One day I hope to write a more in depth article around some of them (:

De @SVB_PGB foutmelding mag kennelijk ook niet langer dan 60 karakters zijn… #neuland

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/21

Briljante foutmelding: “snaam, inclusief extensie, mag maximaal 60 tekens lang zijn.”

Ja: precies de laatste 60 karakters van de foutmelding.

De SVB heeft iets met 60.

Iets als “20141119 – Martijn – Zorgkantoor – AWBZ beoordeling zorgbeschrijvingen zorgovereenkomsten – SVB trekkingsrecht.pdf” mag dus niet als bestandsnaam. Een duidelijke foutmelding ook niet. Dat zou te makkelijk zijn.

Het is op een andere manier slecht dan de foutmelding “Er is een algemene fout opgetreden. Probeert u het later nog eens.”. En dat je later weer dezelfde foutmelding krijgt zodat je on-line geen PGB declaraties van urenbriefjes kunt indienen:

Beste @SVB_PGB: de online declaratie PGB WMO HH gaat fout bij het klikken van “Bewerken”: het maakt niet uit welke maand en week. 1/2

De melding @SVB_PGB is “Er is een algemene fout opgetreden. Probeert u het later nog eens.”. Helaas geen verder log of details. Wat nu? 2/2

En daarom ben ik gistervavond een paar uur bezig geweest met opnieuw proberen en daarna PDFjes van de declaraties te maken. Die ik nu weer mag renamen omdat de bestandsnamen te lang zijn.

Zucht.

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/21

On scanning film negatives and dias (slides): Everyone over the age of 40 has a drawer full of these somewhere What do you….

Since scanners get better over time, when do you scan them, and how long do you keep the originals?
