I have an OpenFiler SAN which hosts all the Storage (iSCSI storage or NFS shares). I still had all my scheduled tasks running at all the Virtual [...]
For quite some time i’ve been looking for a case or wallet for my HP Ipaq 6915 phone/pda. I was looking for a case which is (a little) shock proof, which i could put in my Cradle without removing the case and also has stylish look. Water resistant was no issue for me. I searched my head [...]
Since a while, i’m using OpenFiler 2.x and Xen 4.01 Enterprise. I use the iSCSI capabilities of OpenFiler for my Storage Repositories (SR) in Xen. Last week i had a space problem for one of my VMs in XEN: The (virtual) Harddrive was only 30GB and i wanted to add another drive of 60GB. However, my Storage Repository [...]

Did you ever need to script ‘setting-file/folder-permissions’ or making a deployment or install script ? Or did you ever screwed-up the NTFS permissions on the C:\Windows folder (including all the subfolders) ? If so, you’d better read on; Microsoft finally came with a solution which stops all the horror of automaticly setting-NTFS permissions, including the [...]

Today I took some time to write a little about ABN-AMRO’s security weaknesses. This article including it’s examples and example code (which will be posted later) are for educational purposes only. Account blocking It’s made too simple to lock an account for internet banking. Going to https://www.abnamro.nl/nl/homepage/overview.html and typing an existing bank account number with [...]
Instead of making a wish list, I'll give you my miss list below. Most of the items should be vaporware #1 since many people are waiting years for it and the miss will be a bigger problem in feature. As soon as an item is available or a good workarround is available I'll post it next to [...]
Last year i bought my new HP Ipaq 6915. Last month the touchscreen broke (couldn’t touch it anymore), first i thought it was a software problem so i did a hard-reset on the device.
