VMLite

This looks pretty cool, XP Mode virtualization without the dreaded hardware virtualization support requirement… I poked around the web site, couldn’t tell what their business model is supposed to be. Do they intend to just give this away? http://www.vmlite.com/ Rating 3.00 out of 5

Windows 7 Kernel Enhancements

by @ Friday, December 18th, 2009. Filed under tech

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/18/windows_7_heart/ I found this to be an interesting article. I was really interested in the part about Heap Shimming via Fault Tolerant Heap (FTH). Of course my first thought was cool, how do you get a list of apps that this is being applied to. Up until today I had only found a command to […]

Storm Chasers Part Deux

by @ Friday, December 18th, 2009. Filed under general

In a previous blog entry (http://blog.joeware.net/2009/12/05/1826/) I mentioned a need for some software for the Storm Chasers… A person (name withheld to protect the guilty) sent me a nice informative email on some of this stuff and I wanted to share parts of it… Note I did ask for permission first… “Most chasers and spotters, […]

Using DNS Aliases on Windows Machines.

by @ Friday, December 18th, 2009. Filed under tech

I regularly get asked about people adding CNAMEs to DNS to set up an alias for a Windows machine. Like maybe the machine name is server123site5 and they want to call it oldserver1. They do that and all of a sudden when they try to use it the connection attempt results in a “duplicate name […]

Startup Cop

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2357079,00.asp   I haven’t tried this but think I will start recommending it to any and everyone that says their PC is taking forever to start up. Every time I look at those machines they tend to have a bazillion apps that start on logon. Rating 3.00 out of 5

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126102247889095011.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStories   I wonder how much we pay to see our own feeds? I think some military supplier owes us some cash back… Rating 3.00 out of 5

The iPhone is ruining the country…

by @ Friday, December 18th, 2009. Filed under humour

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2357138,00.asp   Funny article. I actually find my iPhone to be the most useful phone I have had. But then I mostly use it for the apps. I rarely talk to anyone on the phone (I used 2 minutes on it last month) and I don’t text at all. Period. None. Mostly it is used […]
