At the office we use VMWare Server on a couple of different systems to run “appliance” based applications, the problem is every few months the Web interface suddenly screws up and all we get is 503 errors when attempting to login. I’ve searched high and low for the cause and solution to fix it, as far I can tell its occurs because the server randomly deletes or corrupts some important Tomcat related content. Then the only solution I’ve found to fixing this is  completely uninstall VMWare Server, remove all the licenses, reboot the system and then re-install VMWare server.

I’ve been using Linux on servers for years, since before I started learning to code. Finally, after something like 7/8 years I am almost fully confident in severing the ties to my highly underused Windows installation on my personal laptop, but there are still a couple of exceptions

I’ve just found a handy free tool for managing partitions really easily in Windows 7. http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html I’d used the built in partition manager in the Windows 7 Disk Management tools to shrink my primary volume and make the second drive, but then I realised I’d made it too big and needed a couple of extra gig added back onto my C drive

I’m sad to say it, but I found Steve Jobs’ Thoughts on Flash more interesting than the ‘political-point-scoring’ being broadcast on the BBC. I’m glad that Steve has spoken out and answered his critics so well, but I wish David and Gordon would follow Apple’s lead and get on with ‘leaving the past behind’. Political Branding I got a leaflet about Mark Hoban through the post this evening

I didn’t even think you could do this: UPDATE table SET something = REPLACE ( something , 'oldtext' , 'newtext' ) ; How handy! For replacing text in MySQL tables that is… not for anything else really.
