Literature and Libation

On top of my insatiable beer habit, I also have a healthy infatuation with video games. I’ve been a gamer as long as I’ve been a computer user. I was typing nonsensical commands into the text field in King’s Quest before I’d even learned math. By third grade I knew most DOS commands, just so I could load my favorite games. C:\>cd games, C:\>games>cd sierra, C:\>games>sierra>kq1.exe – the mantra of my childhood. If you weren’t already aware, today marks the release of Diablo 3; a Blizzard Entertainment creation 12 years in the making. I wasted (enjoyed) hundreds of hours on Diablo and Diablo 2 back in middle and high school (respectively) and am a huge fan of the series. I played the open Beta a few weeks ago, and a happy to say the Diablo 3 looks like it is going to melt everyone’s face with its innate awesomeness. Approximately nine hundred billion people wanted to play the second the servers went live. I get it. I really do.

Where is the Computer Science in SharePoint and SQL Server?
IT System Basics

It’s there whether we’re looking at the Query Statistics in SQL Server or Web Service calls in SharePoint. However analyzing issues with these complex systems almost requires the ability to do it by the numbers and this knowledge is not provided by the vendors. In fact when the vendors consult, their desire to burn hours as opposed to actually solving problems or knowing the numbers is apparant. We will embark in the next several posts to look at issues by the numbers; in other words doing science. Our priority is as follows: #1 Servers and their storage systems and configuration #2 Database Health as modern web applications are database driven #3 Performance page loading and rendering #4 Leaky code – objects not properly disposed #5 Limitations e.g. large lists, long running queries. Size does matter.

Shibby talks EA’s BF3 shenanigans…
The Dead Console Society

Is it you? Is it you who’s been orchestrated? Is it you? Is it you who’s born frustrated? ~~~ Rancid, Born Frustrated Apparently there was a rumor floating around that the Close Quarter DLC was going to be $30. Rumor my ass. Let me ‘splain this to you, Lucy. The rumor wasn’t floating around, it was floated around. EA’s paid forum trolls circulated the $30 DLC rumor to gauge how the community would react. They probably went into overtime replying to their own posts with comments like, “Hell yes I pay that! Wotta deal!” and “WOOT! dis DLC is gonna be like a boss!” and let’s not forget the ever popular and largely ignorant, “stop being poor and pay the $30.” I guess the mindless consumer masses weren’t having it because according to an official EA press release the DLC is going to be $14.99. That’s still a far cry from “We don’t ever want to charge for our maps and insisted to EA that this attitude w

Oh Bella Milano, No
Clean Your Plate

Arguably the Best Italian food from Springfield to the Metro East. – Quoted From Their Website  I’m afraid I’m going to have to disagree. Honestly, I’ve never tasted anything worse. I knew I was in trouble when the menu was gigantic and the steaks were way over priced for the area. I would expect to pay nearly $30 for steaks at a restaurant that doesn’t have TV’s every where in order to create an atmosphere but not in a low upscale joint in Springfield, IL. Whenever a menu is huge and there are too many choices it is a pretty good indication that something is off and that the food is going to be sub par. We decided to play it safe and just start off with an appetizer. If the appetizer was good, we decided, that we’d reexamine the menu and see if anything appealed to us. Thinking that it was pretty much next to impossible to screw up a spinach and artichoke dip we went ahead and chose it as our appetizer. Big mistake. Not only was it caked in gr

New Dell R620s – Initial Thoughts
Ben's Practical Admin Blog

Some nice new shiny arrived at work for me this week, a Dell R620 that mark will mark a shift in strategy for some of our key architecture. I have been really looking forward to playing with Dell’s new 12G servers, because as some of you know, I have had some interesting issues with the 11G Servers. So, here are some dot points on what I think about the new servers. They are quiet – I booted this beast in our build room, and even at the pre-boot stage the fans were a LOT quieter than it’s predecessor. Once booted, I actually found the ambient noise in the room louder than the server itself (that said, the room isn’t exactly a soundproof chamber either). Memory Configuration appears faster – These servers are configured with 32GB of Memory, which is substantially less than the R910s and R810s we otherwise have, but either way the time it takes to “configure memory” is a lot less. USC Boot/Software Inventory Faster – This I REALLY like. For

What are IBM HCDIMMs and HP HDIMMs ?
ddr3memory

Adding this as an entry point (or crash course) for folks asking about HCDIMMs and HDIMMs on twitter. IBM HCDIMMs are Netlist HyperCloud. HP HDIMMs are Netlist HyperCloud (called “HP Smart Memory HyperCloud”). HP Smart Memory includes some other diagnostic/error features, and so that feature set has been extended to the HyperCloud and it is therefore also called a “HP Smart Memory”. There may be some repetition, as I have tried to keep each section readable on it’s own. Usage Depending on how much memory you need, you may choose to populate the DIMM slots on your motherboard at 1 DPC, 2 DPC or 3 DPC (DPC = DIMMs per channel). At 16GB memory module sizes: - 1 DPC and 2 DPC – use 16GB RDIMMs (2-rank) - 3 DPC – you should use HyperCloud – since 16GB RDIMMs (2-rank) experience speed slowdown at 3 DPC If you are planning to upgrade to 3 DPC eventually, you may consider getting the HyperCloud from the start. At 32GB memory module sizes: - 3 DPC

Megaupload User Asks Court To Order Return Of His Data
Kopimism Church of New Zealand

Months after the Megaupload raids and arrests, the fate of the data stored on the site’s 1,103 seized servers is still unclear. Many Megaupload users want their accounts returned because they contain irreplaceable information, but they have been waiting in vain. Today the EFF has filed a motion on behalf of Megaupload user Kyle Goodwin, which demands that the court finally comes up with a solution. In the wake of the January shutdown of Megaupload, many of the site’s legitimate users complained that their personal files had been lost. Behind the scenes Megaupload negotiated with the Department of Justice and other parties to allow these users to temporarily access their files. When these negotiations failed last month the court was asked to provide a solution, but in response it instructed the parties to reach an agreement on their own. However, a month has passed and absolutely no progress has been made on the issue according to a document filed today by the EFF. Representing Kyle Goo

10.7.4 URL Spring Fix
Primary ICT

Annoyed about the spring loose in 10.7.4?  Want to see that lovely spring icon in your dock when you drag a URL there?  Here’s how to copy to all your machines using Apple Remote Desktop: 1. On a Mac not running 10.7.4, the missing icon lives in /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/url.png. Use Finder to navigate to it (se Go > Go to Folder…). 2. On Apple Remote Desktop, select the Macs you want to fix the problem on, click the ‘Copy’ icon and then drag that file into the ‘Items to Copy’ box. 3. Choose ‘Same relative location’ in the ‘Place items in:’ box. 4. Set ownership to ‘Inherit from destination folder’. 5. Copy! Marvellous.

FBI Seize Leakster.net For Storing Hacked WHMCS Information
TechFleece

The FBI have seized the domain of http://leakster.net due to an investigation to the site storing leaked files from the UGNazi hacks against Comcast and WHMCS earlier this week. When attempting to connect to leakster.net, users are automatically re-directed to The FBI website instead. The attacks on Comcast and WHMCS caused a media frenzy due to the credit card details and other records from 500,000 of their customers were leaked. The card information was salted and hashed, however the decryption key was allegedly stored in plain text giving the hackers easy access to the information. To that end, WHMCS released a notice on their blog. The attack only lasted a few hours, but the damage was done. The hackers tricked WHMCS’s own hosting firm into handing over admin credentials to its servers. After the attack when WHMCS had regained use of their servers on Monday night, they made the following statement: Following an initial investigation I can report that what occurred today was t
