Majoraap now under Creative Commons License

As you can see by the little logo in the footer I have placed my site under the Creative Commons License, which in short means you can copy from this site as much as you like – as long as you attribute back to me / the source. This however also imposes a requirement on my end to make sure that I do the same ;)

Asides that, I have also placed a small and convenient RSS-subscribe button at the top of my page (every page) to make subscribing a lot easier.

I’m also hard at work at removing the kinks and errors from my site, as some things seem to have broken by all of my recent changes ;) Nothing too major and it should al be fixed relatively easy.

In more personal news, yesterday I went for a drink again to the local pub, Karoessel and had a good time. It was a nice change of paste to see some friends again. Well I guess I better go fix those errors huh? :) Laters!

Weekend!

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

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?
