The Synology website has a problem for some time now. When surfing to the main website (http://www.synology.com/), you get the following error:
This is not really good publicity if you ask me.
For those that require information on the website, can either google for it, or use the direct link: http://www.synology.com/enu/index.php.
Microsoft has announced the release of the beta-version of the new Internet Explorer 9.
One of the highlights would be a better compliance with industry standards (HTML5, CSS3, etc.). Does this mean that the horrid problem of browser incompatibility (especially between IE and all other browsers) will finally be resolved? I sure hope so...
It is not possible to convert disk files from thick to thin, in-place. Instead, cloning the disk (or machine) allows you to change the provisioning type and thus enabling to have a thin disk. After the clone is complete, delete the original and you're good to go.
You can either clone a complete machine, or just clone a disk using the CLI or service console:
vmkfstools -i <srcDisk.vmdk> -d thin <dstDisk.vmdk>
Be careful of installing Google Chrome on a Windows XP computer with an Intel 915i graphics card on board. I ran into an odd problem at a client, who had recently installed it. Occassionally, the system would bail out with a BSOD, and a vague error code. At first, I suspected a hardware problem, but letting WinDbg loose on the minidump file revealed the true culprit.
Apparently, there's a conflict between the graphics driver of the Intel 915 and Chrome, causing the BSOD. A detailed analysis in WinDbg revealed the causing program as chrome.exe. See the attached text file for a full log of the problem.
The client stopped using Chrome, and his odd BSODs went away.
For a shell script to determine its own location, you can use this code snippet. It takes relative and absolute paths into account.
#!/bin/bash if [[ $0 == '/'* ]]; then MYLOCATION="`dirname $0`" else MYLOCATION="`pwd`"/"`dirname $0`" fi echo "My location is: $MYLOCATION"
