La vie s’en va de nous

Soms.
La vie s’en va de nous
Maar eigenlijk te vaak.

First impression of comparative tests on virtualisation technologies

I’m working on doing some tests to compare different virtualisation technologies. Whilst those tests are far from finished, I got some numbers this afternoon who give a quick first impression.
What is being tested here?

Running some specific processes
Timing how long they run
On a virtual guest (1 for now) on different platforms

Host environment?
Five servers, each running a [...]

Gnome evolution suxorz

Gnome evolution:

Actually, this was triggered by clicking a mailto: link, whilst I hadn’t fixed Gnome’s default behaviour of launching evolution, so I just closed the mail dialog Window, but evolution seems to insist on staying running persistently.
But I don’t even use this freaky program. I only configure my Google Calendar to have it show up [...]

VMWare open backup tool

I’ve been looking for several backup solutions for VMWare lately, which is quite a depressing task, imho.
Being a proprietary tool, VMWare has a problem in common with Windows: it’s full off proprietary API’s you have to go through to be able to pull a backup. Also, whilst VMWare (ESX, but in practice also ESXi) [...]

Godsdienst-tweet

Hoewel ik het zelf vanop de smoelenboek gehaald heb, zou ik dit nu normaal op Twitter gooien.
Gezien het risico om als Twitteraar (nvdr: marginale internetmens) slechts de in-crowd te bereiken, geef ik liever voorkeur aan de in-crowd alhier – ik denk graag dat het hier minder marginaal is.

Can we please start providing better documentation on how building blocks interact?

customize resolv.conf even when using network Manager

Having my laptop configured with dhcp through network manager (Ubuntu jaunty at the time of writing) is what I need in most networks. Often though, I need to contact hosts living under another domain. Traditionally, that’s wat the search option is in /etc/resolv.conf. It still is, but this file now gets configured dynamically through resolvconf, [...]
