Booting Windows from microSD card on the STK2M3W64CC

Image
Booting Windows from microSD card on the STK2M3W64CC Whilst the latest Intel Core M Compute Stick comes pre-loaded with Windows 10 it is possible to dual-boot. This is typically achieved by reducing the partition space allocated to Windows and creating a new partition for Ubuntu or similar. The assumption has always been that the faster eMMC storage would be reserved for the OS and any additional data storage could be gained from using either a USB or a microSD card or both. But what if the eMMC storage is totally dedicated to the primary OS and the secondary OS runs from the supplementary storage? Again this approach has been successfully with booting Ubuntu installed on a USB or a microSD card thereby leaving Windows untouched on the disk. However for some the requirement is for Ubuntu to be the primary OS and Windows the secondary one. There would obviously be no problem in installing and running Ubuntu but what doesnt seem to have discussed previously is whether it is possible to r...

Blizzard Shifts Developers from Titan to the Diablo III Expansion

Image
Blizzard Shifts Developers from Titan to the Diablo III Expansion Blizzard Entertainment is shifting 70 developers from its next-generation MMO Titan to other teams which include the Diablo III expansion. According to VentureBeat, Blizzard has stated that Titan needs more core development and that it will take at least another 3 years (2016) for the game to be complete. Here is a statement from Blizzard about Titan: Weve always had a highly iterative development process, and the unannounced MMO is no exception. Weve come to a point where we need to make some large design and technology changes to the game. Were using this opportunity to shift some of our resources to assist with other projects while the core team adapts our technology and tools to accommodate these new changes. Note that we havent announced any dates for the MMO. It looks like the Diablo III expansion may not be that far away now, and with all these new developers working on it, maybe it can be the next LoD? Guess we w...

Break from 3 to 9 back after Dinner

Image
Break from 3 to 9 back after Dinner Thats what it looks like on the blog anyway. I would like those work hours, I have to admit. Bit of a break in the afternoon, going for a cup of coffee, some cake, a little rest in the garden, some starter with a dry sherry, a soup, maybe, now that its getting colder outside, a sorbet - vodka sorbet, server in a half coconut for instance - a main course with a nice glass of red wine, a bit of fruit salad with a generous helping of brown sugar and rum. And then back to work. Yeah... Im sure reports would look better in the evening. Erm. Anyway. WoW got boring. I stopped. I tried quite a few different games. New on the list were single player games that were woefully neglected during my raiding days. Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 were good. At the time of play I would have called them great, but they do suffer from "Bioware required party interaction syndrome" (thats a true medical term. Look it up!). You need to talk to your party at every...

Block Sites from Google’s Web Search Results

Image
Block Sites from Google’s Web Search Results Couple of days ago I wrote about how search results are becoming worse every time. This is because of all the spam around there that makes really difficult to show relevant results. The post also mentioned that human intervention is needed since sometimes an algorithm is not enough to filter real sources from spam. It seems that Google heard that because today they released a new Chrome extension which allows users to block sites from Googles web search results. The extension is really easy to use and the information collected from the users will be sent back to Google for further analysis and might help them improving their results and gives quality search results. The extension allows you to block and unblock sites and also edit your blocked site list by just pressing the extension icon. This is an experimental extension but it is really worth a try. We can help improving search results and stop spam and content farms.

Boot from SAN vSphere

Boot from SAN vSphere Boot from SAN   is the practice of booting a server from your SAN array instead of local disks. It�s a great feature for a server environment, as the most common failure point in any server is typically the hard drive(s). By shifting that risk to a SAN, which is already highly redundant, monitored, and cared for, the thought is that you better protect your server infrastructure. Additional benefits for converged blade infrastructure (such as Cisco UCS or HP BladeSystem) is the ability to make a blade stateless � the blade can be replaced while still retaining its host identity, as it simply reaches out to the SAN to boot up. Having vSphere hosts that boot from SAN offers the unique opportunity to render any underlying blade hardware completely stateless. That is, a blade that is acquiring its personality from the blade infrastructure no longer has any unique identifiers or hosted information that keeps it tied down to the vSphere host personality. These identi...
