Weekend!

Mar 31st

Posted by Aprazeth in Personal

Well it’s finally weekend. Last night I managed to sleep for approximately 14 hours. Auchies! And I wondered why I was so tired whole week long ;)

Asides that nothing much has happened lately. Apart from going to the movie 300, which I highly recommend!

Display disconnected devices in the Device Manager

Mar 29th

I just ran across this tip, and thought I’d share it with you all:

Source

To show all installed devices, follow these steps:
Open a command prompt Enter the following:

SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
[cd %systemroot%\system32]
[start] compmgmt.msc

Select the Device Manager node and turn on the "Show Hidden Devices" feature by clicking the appropiate entry in the View menu. The Device Manager will now list all devices that are installed on the machine.

Please note that everything in between the brackets is not necessary (as compmgmt.msc is executed regardless of launching it or not via “start” for example)

How to image your server fast and free

As most of you are using RAID controllers (at least I hope for your sake), here is a simple method that allows you to image your server for free. This does however assume that you are using a RAID 1 (mirror).

Remove a disk from the RAID 1 Array. Put in a fresh new HDD and let it rebuild. Then remove the new disk and put the old one back in. You now have a perfect copy of your server. Now if you have a set of servers that should be configured exactly the same, this allows you to do just that.

Don’t forget to change the IP and Server name though :)

Yes it’s a poor and lazy man’s option but hey, it works :D

Site updated some more

I added a few new features to my site as you can see. Via ‘Share This’ underneath this post you can now share a particular post or add it to your personalized pages on Google / Yahoo / Live etc.

I also optimized the Search Provider, did a few layout changes (minor) and well, a lot of other back-end things which are pretty nifty. Why don’t you just check it all out?

New (somewhat) theme

Mar 27th

As you can see the theme has been changed to a more traditional and perhaps easier to read (but definately easier and faster to load) I will continue tweaking / adding to it, but for the bigger part I am happy with it.

And yes it’s based on the default theme of WordPress :P
