			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We ran into an issue, where we migrated one of our servers. We gave it a new name, but most of our users still recognized it as the old server. To make it easy on everyone, a simple cname with the old name pointed to the new server solved most of the issue. However, browsing the network didn&#8217;t reveal the old network name. Just the new one. The solution is to add an alternative netbios name to the registry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The guys over at <a href="http://www.droid-life.com/">Droid-Life</a> have been a riot today. I had to post these&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Steve&#8230; Can you hear me now?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No&#8230; You&#8217;re still holding it wrong.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211;EC8CH</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>There once was a man named Steve<br />
&#8220;Magical&#8221; status his phone did achieve<br />
Then a Droid set us free<br />
Apps approved no Third Degree<br />
On a network that&#8217;s NOT AT&amp;T&#8217;s</p>
<p>&#8211;EC8CH</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>If your iPhone is letting you down<br />
Dropped calls are making you frown<br />
Then give Android a try<br />
Get a deal at Wirefly<br />
Their prices will truely astound</p>
<p>&#8211;EC8CH</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>There was an old man named Jobs<br />
His shiny phones were perfect for snobs<br />
Then a Droid came along<br />
Mulitasking all day long<br />
With a glowing eye that pulses and throbs</p>
<p>&#8211;EC8CH</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>There once was a phone from Cupertino<br />
It&#8217;s screen a grid of blocks like in Keno<br />
But then Android arrived<br />
Running Widgets in stride<br />
Now the Iphone looks dated as Devo</p>
<p>&#8211;EC8CH</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>In a black turtleneck &amp; blue jeans<br />
He says &#8220;check out the res of my screens&#8221;<br />
But we are Droids &amp; of course<br />
We prefer opensource<br />
And avoid his walled garden by all means</p>
<p>&#8211;EC8CH</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>I actually tried out an iphone 4 the other day while perusing things I won&#8217;t buy at the mall (well, I did end up getting a burger and fries). It was the first iphone I&#8217;ve ever used.</p>
<p>My impressions? Nice screen, but not any tangibly nicer than my Droid&#8217;s. The hardware itself looks nice enough; sleek, compact, and all that. But the real meat and taters was the UI. I have to say, it was, well . . . crap. Sure, it scrolls and such nicely, but it&#8217;s just a bunch of screens with apps! I asked my buddy who was with me (a devout Apple acolyte) how I could access the apps, and he was like, &#8220;you just scroll through the screens and they&#8217;re all there.&#8221;</p>
<p>For serious? This is the vaunted UI that all the Apple fanbois go ga-ga over? It&#8217;s a freakin&#8217; app drawer! Here&#8217;s how to make your Android device an iphone: open the app drawer whenever you start up. Don&#8217;t use widgets, live wallpaper, shortcuts, etc. Do everything from your app drawer. Done. You&#8217;ll be all like, &#8220;OMG it&#8217;s so teh fastar! Scrolling is sooo smooth! Bestest UI EVAR!!!!1&#8243;</p>
<p>Sorry for the rant; I&#8217;m just a bit less than whelmed after hearing so much about how iphone&#8217;s UI is sooo much better than Android&#8217;s. Believe it or not, I entered into the demo with an open mind and the expectation to be truly impressed. All that was really impressed upon me, though, is that the blinders on Apple fanbois are more like eyepatches with pinholes. &#8211;Droidzilla</p></blockquote>
<p>Thanks guys&#8230; That made my day =)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://upx.sourceforge.net/">UPX</a> does a fantastic job at compressing executables. However, it does not support .NET.</p>
<p>MPRESS does.</p>
<blockquote><p>MPRESS makes programs and libraries smaller, and decrease start time when the application loaded from a slow removable media or from the network. It uses in-place decompression technique, which allows to decompress the executable without memory overhead or other drawbacks; it also protects programs against reverse engineering by non-professional hackers. Programs compressed with MPRESS run exactly as before, with no runtime performance penalties.<br />
<strong>MPRESS is absolutely free of charge software.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;ve been using this for awhile now, and have to say its great. Many of my .NET apps are cut down by 50% or more.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.matcode.com/mpress.htm">Check it out!</a></p>

<p>For the record, it doesn&#8217;t appear on my default browser, nor xScope, using the BuglessBeast rom on my Droid&#8230; Still&#8230;. be cautious out there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" title="ultradefrag" src="http://ultradefrag.sourceforge.net/images/ultra_defrag.gif" alt="" width="196" height="158" />As much as I love Diskeeper, it&#8217;s expensive. The windows defragmenter in Vista/7/Server 2008 is better than earlier versions. The problem, however, is that we still have some Server 2003 OS&#8217;s in our environment.</p>
<p>Two products that I tested were &#8220;<a href="http://www.flexomizer.com/PermaLink,guid,ce99367e-158c-487a-879d-b32145cc1957.aspx">Free Disk Defrag</a>&#8221; from The Flexomizer, and <a href="http://ultradefrag.sourceforge.net/">UltraDefrag</a>. While the first worked OK, there was no 64 bit support. UltraDefrag does.</p>
<p>UltraDefrag has a simple GUI and a command-line interface. It also has another option besides defrag called optimize. Optimize piles your defragmented data towards the front of your drive, leaving your white-space at the end.</p>
<div>I scheduled UltraDefrag to run on all fixed volumes every Friday night, across all of our servers.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Problem solved.</div>
