Nicholas Carr on Stephen Colbert

Posted on 5:22 PM by Unknown
Last night Nicholas Carr the author of "The Big Switch" - Powering the World, From Edison to Google was on Stephen Colbert. Mr. Carr was the keynote speaker this past year at Citrix Synergy and his message was that the internet (cloud) is becoming one big Utility driven by google. The book is a fascinating and great read and I would highly reccomend it for anyone in the computer industry.

Here is the video from the show it was a pretty funny exchange.

Another Powerpoint of In depth features of XenServer 5

Posted on 10:15 AM by Unknown
Barry Flanagan has posted another good PowerPoint that offers additional in depth features of Citrix XenServer 5.
See:
http://community.citrix.com/blogs/citrite/barryf/2008/09/25/New+Features+of+XenServer+5+in+Depth

Also of interest is a link at the bottom of his post to a Citrix hosted site just on XenServer that contains videos and information about the product.

Download Pick: Microsoft Word 2007 Redaction Tool

Posted on 4:29 AM by Unknown
I picked this gem up from Tony Sonyo of Microsoft blog. Tony picked it up from the Microsoft Word Team blog who gives a good bit of information about just exactly what redaction can do for you here.

Law offices and personnel departments finding their offices plagued with requests for documents will find this tool indispensable. It basically lets you black out sensitive text in a word document.

The officially supported previous Word 2003 version of the redaction tool can be found here.

While Microsoft has not officially released a 2007 version of the Microsoft Word Redaction tool and are not supporting this you can now download the one the developers are working on Codeplex here:

Have at it!

UDATED: LHC Due to be turned on

Posted on 7:06 AM by Unknown

No it doesn't stand for Local Host Cache. The Large Hadron Collider is due to be turned on today. If we all get sucked into a blackhole or wormhole it was nice knowing you all! : )
http://lhc.web.cern.ch/lhc/
UPDATE: Ok while the world didn't end, apparantly while the Hadron collider was running a huge 30 ton transformer blew. But that isn't all! While the particles were hurtling through the collider one of the computers controlling it was being hacked by a Greek group!
If this doesn't scare the crap out of you, I want what you are taking!

Citrix brings the Internet to Rural Africa!

Posted on 11:59 AM by Unknown
While clicking around today on the Citrix news site I found this video about how the rural city of Agogo in Africa is connected using Citrix technology. The video talks about ways that the Africans will use the Internet to tell the world about their plight and the message of the dwindling forest. It is quite interesting and worth the look. For more info click here.

Download Pick: Servers Alive

Posted on 8:50 AM by Unknown
Here is my download pick of the week.
There are all sorts of monitoring solutions out there for alerting you as to when a resource is not available but one of my favorites is a program called Servers Alive by a company called Woodstone.

The program allows you to monitor your servers on a web page as well as send out email alerts when a server goes down. We use it to ping our branch routers and notify us if they go down. There are a lot of free add ons to the product. It is very easy to set up using the programs graphical input screens.

Woodstone offers a free unlimited trial of Servers Alive you can download from here:

http://www.woodstone.nu/salive/index.asp

This product came in very handy for us last evening during powerful windstorms to let us know which branches we could expect to have problems with this morning.

To purchase the product it is reasonably priced under $500 US($199 euro) for the enterprise edition however the free edition works great!
Here is a sample ouput of our web page from servers alive.

Status of hosts at last check

Brecksville DOWN since 4:06:46 AM, 9/15/2008
Maple Heights DOWN since 4:06:44 AM, 9/15/2008
Olmsted Falls DOWN since 4:06:43 AM, 9/15/2008
Warrensville DOWN since 4:06:46 AM, 9/15/2008
Bay Village RUNNING since 4:06:12 AM, 9/15/2008

We basically created a disrtibution list email with all of our admins on it called Serversalive in exchange and set it so it will send out updates when our routers bounce up and down. Here is sample text:

Warrensville is DOWN (0%)
