Joy BlakeJoy's InfoWorld WatchVMWare ESX Review- (Found July 5, 2008 ) Phil Windley's Enterprise Computing Weblog Tom Yager reviewed VMWare ESX for InfoWorld this week. This was a review I wanted to do, but he beat me to it. :-) I think virtualization is a tool that not enough IT managers use yet. I've got ESX installed a couple of Dell 6650 4-way SMP boxes with 16Gb of memory connected to a SAN. This set-up is my virtualization testbed and serves as the platform for study we're doing in my lab. At some point in the not too distant future we hope to have some hard.http://www.windley.com/2004/11/10.html#a1515 Lurking Software- (Found July 5, 2008 ) Phil Windley's Enterprise Computing Weblog Chad Dickerson asks "is Wiki under your radar" in his latest column at InfoWorld. Most of the column is about his exploration of Wikis and deciding which one to install at InfoWorld. The kicker, is that after all that, he finds that its already been installed months before. Some CIO's get nervous when that happens. I always say that "I love when good things happen and I didn't have to push it." Most IT people will scratch their itches and that's a good.http://www.windley.com/2004/11/10.html#a1514 Using Del.icio.us- (Found July 5, 2008 ) Phil Windley's Enterprise Computing Weblog Jon is expounding the virtues of Del.icio.us: "What Roland Piquepaille is doing here, like what I'm doing here, begins with self-interested personal information management. We categorize our own items first and foremost for our own benefit, so that we can find things more easily and so that we can better understand how new items relate to our collective works. But del.icio.us is also a social system. The tagging I do is also potentially useful to you...http://www.windley.com/2004/11/10.html#a1513 Crackers sljer proprietr kod- (Found July 5, 2008 ) Patrik Wallstrm och Mikael Pawlo En grupp crackers sljer kllkod till proprietra program p Usenet.

My head hurts after reading it, but I actually think I see some of the interesting ways that del.icio.us can connect ideas and interests. Just one example; I didn't realize that it not only tells you who else posted the same bookmark, but it also tells you how they tagged that bookmark so you can potentially easily subscribe to that narrow topic via RSS feed. Not so with.http://www.weblogg-ed.com/2004/11/10#a2877 Wunderground satellite SWF- (Found July 5, 2008 ) John Dowdell on MX Wunderground satellite SWF: oooh, I think you'll like this... while logging that conversation from Jon Udell, below, I first went to Weather Underground to find a radar map with a long URL... I remember something like this to see a realtime satellite photo above Northern California. But they've switched! Their new SWF display has a simpler URL, but does UI controls locally, and fetches only new data on demand, instead of reloading all the UI and logic and advertising and the..http://www.markme.com/jd/archives/006315.cfm Microsoft and Mozilla: Lennon had it Right- (Found July 5, 2008 ) Financial Health Blog I often tell people that the concept of financial health covers everything that touches the financial part of a person's life, which, since most every aspect of a person's life has a financial component to it, is virtually everything in their lives. Today we put that notion to the test by looking at software. In today's paper I saw news of the following: (a) Microsoft is settling a law suit brought by Novell by paying some half a billion plus dollars of its cash horde...http://financialhealth.blogspot.com/2004/11/microsoft-and-mozilla-lennon-had-it.html Another new MyDoom variant is making the rounds- (Found July 5, 2008 ) stupid evil bastard Looks like theres a new version of the MyDoom virus circulating on the Net taking advantage of another unpatched hole in Internet Explorer. "The worm, which security firms dubbed MyDoom.AF, MyDoom.AH and MyDoom.AG, spreads by e-mail and exploits a recently discovered buffer overflow vulnerability in IE. Internet users should avoid opening suspicious e-mail with the subject headers "funny photos ," "hello," "hey!" and blank headers, according to security firm iDefense Inc....http://stupidevilbastard.com/index/seb/comments/another_new_mydoom_variant_is_making_the_r... RIAs and state- (Found July 5, 2008 ) John Dowdell on MX Jon Udell raises an interesting point here (and in his weblog): When you want to show someone else a particular state in an application (like, a particular map in a web atlas, or a particular graph in a business dashboard), then how can you quickly describe this state In a traditional, server-based web application, with all query data passed in the URL, this is easy -- you could even bookmark an application state, like this radar map at AccuWeather. Describing application...http://www.markme.com/jd/archives/006314.cfm HailStorm was before its time- (Found July 5, 2008 ) Tage Stabell-Kul En meget bra observasjon om hvorfor det gikk som det (ser ut til at det) gikk med Hailstorm og Passport (for annet enn MSN: "I suspect there's an even deeper reason, though. Many folks wouldn't want to be reminded how easy it is to convert sparse input into a detailed profile that includes a phone number, a street address, a satellite photo, and driving directions. Re-entering the basic facts each time perpetuates an illusion of privacy. Yet the reality, for many of us, is that.http://www.stabell-kulo.net/greier/2004/10/hailstorm-was-before-its-time |
