What we need -
- Xvfb: X virtual frame buffer is X11 server which does graphical operation in memory, hence no output is displayed. Wikipedia has more on it.
- Firefox: World famous open source browser
- A simple selenium test: As simple as launching Google in Firefox
sudo apt-get install Xvfb firefox
Not you can start Xvfb as -
Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x768x24 &
From manual of Xvfb -
-screen screennum WxHxD This option creates screen screennum and sets its width, height, and depth to W, H, and D respectively. By default, only screen 0 exists and has the dimensions 1280x1024x8.Now comes the selenium test. You need to guide Firefox so that it executes test in Xvfb started in previous steps.
This could be done by setting System level property for Xvfb as -
String Xport = System.getProperty("lmportal.xvfb.id", ":1");
and directing Firefox binary to use Xvfb as -
FirefoxBinary firefoxBinary = new FirefoxBinary();
firefoxBinary.setEnvironmentProperty("DISPLAY", Xport);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxBinary, null);
If Firefox is not installed in standard location - /usr/bin/firefox then you can also specify path to Firefox binary as -
final File firefoxPath = new File(System.getProperty(
"lmportal.deploy.firefox.path", "/usr/bin/firefox"));
FirefoxBinary firefoxBinary = new FirefoxBinary(firefoxPath);
firefoxBinary.setEnvironmentProperty("DISPLAY", Xport);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxBinary, null);
Whole test looks as -
To execute headless tests in Chrome, start chrome driver as -
ChromeDriverService chromeDriverService = new ChromeDriverService.Builder()
new File(ChromeDriverLocation
ImmutableMap.of("DISPLAY", ":1")).build();
driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeDriverService);

Re: Don't know how to install Sword modules (Zip)with bibletime?????
I had the same problem when I installed both Sword and Bibletime 2 days ago. I just could not install the modules. Then I saw this thread and the solution that Joachim suggested worked for me. Here is what I did in detail:
My home directory is /home/cristian. I put the module kjv.zip in /home/cristian/Modules. Then I tried to mkdir /home/cristian/.sword like Joachim said but it told me that directory already exists. Then I just changed to this directory cd /home/cristian/.sword. Then when I was in this directory I unzipped the module like Joachim said with unzip /home/cristian/Modules/kjv.zip. After this I used the Bible time install manager to install the module and I selected a local resource as /home/cristian (nothging more than that) and this time it actually found the module. I installed it and it gave me some kind of error but when I opened Bibletime it seems to work fine and I can use the kjv bible. I installed even more modules this way they seem to work fine. Previously I was trying to unzip the modules in /usr/share/sword and the install manager did not see them. Thanks Joachim.

But Obamas claims of actively promoting energy production are flatly contradicted my folks trying to make a living in the energy business, including Randy Stilley, the CEO of now bankrupt Seahawk Drilling. His hard-hitting recent Washington Post op-ed laid the blame for his companys demise at the foot of the U.S. Government and the drastic slowdown in the issuance of permits for shallow-water drilling operations. . . .
The President also dittos the perennial notions, like training all 300 million of us to inflate our automobile tires properly, or mandating car companies to produce more fuel efficient cars. But even Obama and friends admit these arent serious methods of reaching his long-off goal of slicing dependence on foreign oil by one-third.
When it comes to replacing oil with new technological breakthroughs made possible by massive government investment and regulation of the economy, the Administration seems utterly earnest.
I want to make this point, Obama told the students, Government funding will be critical.
The Obama Administration wants to fund electric car battery research, increase demand for hybrid vehicles by mandating that the federal government purchase only hybrids, and fund solar, biofuel and other new clean energy technology. In short, the Obama Administration wants to take charge of the semi-private energy industry and subsidize the way to an entirely new system.
No matter how desperate the fiscal crunch, the president went on record last week absolutely opposed to sacrificing these investments in research and development, in supporting clean energy technologies, arguing it would weaken our energy economy and make us more dependent on oil. Thats not a game plan to win the future.
As the Obama Administration aims to win the energy future, by what measure can we judge their efforts to change the energy make-up of the world economy?
Already, the president gives his administration high marks: Im proud of the historic progress that weve made over the last two years.
I hadnt noticed a thing. (Seamless change, perhaps.)
But when the goal was announced to cut foreign oil imports by one-third, I couldnt help but detect that the timeline isnt limited to Mr. Obamas current term or even to the end of a possible second term. No, the goal is for a third less foreign dependence by 2025 — nearly a decade after he would leave office. (Presumably.)
Come to think of it, the administration passed a Better Buildings Initiative to make commercial buildings 20 percent more efficient by 2020. An Executive Order directs federal agencies to design all new buildings to require zero net energy by 2020. And best of all, Obama promises to have 80 percent of the nations energy coming from a bevy of clean sources . . . by 2035.
There seems little if any mention of how much progress might occur closer to the here and now, i.e. while school kids can still remember Obamas name.
Perhaps it was a mistake that Obamas goal of having a million electric vehicles on the road was set to fall when he might still be in office — by 2015. It seems the only goal Obama might have to address before leaving office.
Sure, I know that some things such as going to the Moon — or George W. Bushs inane goal of going to Mars — take time to accomplish. But leaders should still focus on what part of the goal they can actually accomplish.
That might produce Washingtons rarest and most valuable substance of all: accountability.
If I ever run for president (don't hold your breath), maybe Ill promise that in ten years all the problems will be solved and perfect happiness provided free of charge to everyone. Just give me eight years, two terms, and a really good successor.

Compare Bragada to Other Mattresses
The Bragada Mattress family has been serving Americans from the heartland since 1958. Many ask us how can Bragada be less and still deliver the same quality? For us the answers are simple enough.
- Bragada doesn't spend $100s of millions on advertising like the some other manufacturers of memory foam mattresses.
- Bragada doesn't have the added cost that goes with being a public company.
- Bragada builds every mattress, custom to order.

Wallace and famed car Midnight headed into Hall
Winless in their first season together, Pearson and Owens teamed to win eight races in 1964 and finish third in the standings. There were two more wins in 1965, and using a Dodge Dart station wagon dubbed the "Cotton Picker," the duo won 15 races and the championship in 1966.
"He was not like a boss, it was like working for a friend," said Pearson. "We just had a great time working together."
Wood, part of the famed Wood Brothers No. 21 Ford team, is considered with his older brother to be a NASCAR pioneer.
"He's the most dedicated, talented all-around mechanic NASCAR has ever seen," said nephew, Len, co-owner of the current Wood Brothers team. "He fit the term 'chief mechanic.' He could do anything with the car."
As crew chief of the No. 21 for 990 races, Wood's drivers won 96 races. His cars won 117 poles and revolutionized the pit stop.
Hired by the Ford Motor Co. to pit Jim Clark's Lotus at the 1965 Indianapolis 500, the Woods spent 41.9 seconds on pit road servicing the car Clark drove to Victory Lane. They used a modified gas can that made the fuel flow faster.
"We turned that thing on and it put in 58 gallons in 15 seconds," said Wood. "It just sucked the fuel out of there. We knew we were going to be under 20 seconds on the pit stops. We got the most publicity in the least amount of time we ever got in our lives," he added. "We hit a home run for sure."
Baker won 46 Cup races and was the series' first back-to-back champion. His career spanned portions of four decades and began in part because he honed his skills running alcohol after he couldn't find a job following his discharge from the Navy.
His final victory came at age 44 in the 1964 Southern 500, and Baker was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998.
Thomas won premier series titles in 1951 and 1953, and finished second in two other seasons including 1954, the first of Hall of Famer Lee Petty's three championship seasons.
"He was as good as they come," said Richard Petty, who headlined the first Hall of Fame class. "There have been very few guys who had more confidence in what he could do than Herb. He was so strong-minded that he 'willed' his wins and what he was doing on the track. He was going to beat the guys on the track no matter what was going on. That was his mindset."

Seth Techel
- Filed Under
Lawyers for Seth Techel tried Friday to show that a neighbor who died last year had been mentally unstable and perhaps capable of shooting to death Techel's pregnant wife.
Seth Techel's second trial in the May 2012 killing - the first ended in mistrial - concluded its second week Friday. Prosecutors contend that Lisa Techel was shot by her husband because he wanted to carry on an affair. Defense attorneys say Brian Tate, who lived next door to the Techels in Agency in Wapello County, had argued several times with Seth Techel and should have been considered more seriously as a suspect.
Tate was ...

A host of new house plants have appeared during the last ten years.These plants are in the shops, but they are not in the books - until now.There are in-depth features on bonsai, orchids, bromeliads, Christmas flowers, herbs and many more.Roomscaping is introduced - the way to use house plants alone or in groups as decorative features rather than as green or coloured pets.The problem section answers the main difficulties with indoor plants - why they don't flower, why they die, how much to water and much more.There's even a miscellany - a collection of bits and pieces from the lucky bamboo story to the easy way to measure humidity.
Over 200 million house plants are sold every year in the UK, and sales have increased 200% over the last decade (source: The Times).Millions of people everywhere rely on the House Plant Expert for the straightforward, reliable advice it contains.Now there is The House Plant Expert: Book Two for the millions who want to know more.
After 10 years and 14,000,000 copies sold, the world's bestselling plant bookgets a beautiful freshening up in a companion volume filled with today's mostpopular plants and up-to-date techniques.
After 10 years and 14,000,000 copies sold, the world's bestselling plant book gets a beautiful freshening up, in a companion volume filled with today's most popular plants and up-to-date techniques.
This is what gardeners have been waiting for and will absolutely have to own: the companion to the blockbuster guide they love and have depended on for years. Since the publication of the original House Plant Expert, gardening has evolved and tastes have changed: here, on every lushly illustrated page, is cutting-edge information and the latest trends in gardening. In addition to a widely expanded A to Z of plants, and an in-depth discussion of today's most popular species (such as bonsai, orchids, bromeliads, and herbs), there's inspiring information on a really revolutionary idea: roomscaping, or the art of creating attractive, stylish features in the garden by combining one or more plants with non-living items. Gardeners will see inspiring examples of water and glass gardens and multiplant containers, and even learn how to make a solitary plant stand out.
It may have taken a while to arrive, but The House Plant Expert Two is proof positive that good things come to those who wait!

Muskego - The annual Country Christmas celebration will begin with a "storybook" parade and continue with varied activities Saturday afternoon.
"A Storybook Christmas" parade, featuring Santa and live reindeer, will stroll down Pioneer Road beginning at 1 p.m.
The parade, leading off the annual Country Christmas celebration put on by the Muskego Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism, will start at Janesville Road and head to the Old Settlement Centre, S8074 Racine Ave.
Because the shuttle will not run this year, parade-goers should park on subdivision streets along the route or in the Muskego industrial park across Racine Avenue. The logistics didn't work well for the shuttle so it was dropped this year, Durnford said.
At the Old Settlement Centre, visitors will find all kinds of holiday things to do, and there will be more for kids to do this year, including kids' Christmas bingo, said Krisann Durnford, a spokesman for the Country Christmas celebration.
For starters, the "Christmas Gift Dash" will begin immediately after the parade. Back for a second year, it features business mascots - including a squirrel from LeafGuard Southeast of Muskego, a monkey from First Bank Financial and an ice cream cone from Culvers - racing to pile oversized gifts under a Christmas tree.
Kids who missed Santa in the parade will be able to visit him at the Old Schoolhouse. Parents can bring their cameras or pay a pro to capture their children's faces as they tell Santa what they want for Christmas.
And of course, the popular Candy Shoppe will be open for business.
The Muskego Historical Society will be back with talks in the old Wolman House lending a flavor of old Muskego to the festivities. The society also will give away Christmas ornaments for as long as they last in the Old Town Hall.
For a fee, train, hay wagon and carriage rides will be given. Singing groups will scent the air with carols and a live Nativity scene will be presented twice by the Muskego Apostolic Tabernacle. The church also will again present puppet shows.
All through the celebration, plenty of food will be available, from snacks and treats to substantial sandwiches.
Admission to the festivities is free, but those who bring a food item or give a cash donation to the Muskego food pantry will get a free cup of hot cider in the food pantry tent.
The celebration will conclude at 4:45 p.m.

Remember Me
-Bob Crawford
Travelin' Around
The initial vision for The Avett Brothers didn't include heavy touring but over the past couple years they've become regulars at folk and rock clubs nationwide and a festival mainstay. Live, they have the energy one encounters on scratchy 78s - unbridled joy in making music with the gruff rightness of Blind Willie Johnson or the aforementioned Charlie Poole, with whom Crawford says they share "a kinship with his plainspoken rawness."
Crawford discusses joining The Avett Brothers, "In Spring of 2001, I was in college studying jazz guitar and had just started playing upright bass. A buddy of mine knew Scott and said they had an electric bass player but were looking for an upright bassist. It was a long process. Scott took off that summer, panhandling and trying to follow the footsteps of Woody Guthrie as best you could in 2001. When he came back it was real slow – a gig or two, then time off, then another gig or two – until the Saturday after September 11th. After that weekend it all gelled."
"Initially, we mostly played covers around Charlotte, NC but there wasn't much talk of taking it on the road or even a future. We were doing Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams, traditional stuff like The Dillards and tunes like 'Boil The Cabbage Down,' 'Old Joe Clark,' 'Going Down The Road (Feeling Bad),' old chestnuts like that. There are many great careers built on those songs."
The band usually has an album's worth of backlogged material that makes it into their sets, just one element in their quest to keep things interesting for themselves and any friendly ears out there.
"You're in a situation where you need to move as a team at all times but everybody needs their alone time, their down time, and some people wanna zig when others want to zag. We've been doing this for six years and we've always done well with it. There's never problems that don't fade away in an hour," comments Crawford.
"For me, three has always been the magic number. We've been able to make a big sound for just three people," he continues. "Lately, we've been adding elements like cellist Joe Kwon [who appears on Emotionalism and tours frequently with the band these days], switching it up for our sake. A lot of people are just starting to hear about us. What they'll see isn't what brought us to the table in the first place but hopefully that'll still shine through. It'll be fuller, which is good for the music and good for us, but we did build this thing with three of us. I guess when you build a strong foundation then everything you put on top of it is going to be real nice."

text: Yesterday after a long break I did a Bronica search on ePrey and found considerably more gear than I recall from a few months back, sometimes I think it's seasonal! But perhaps the toss-offs from the pros who went bit-zapping has dwindled as people like ourselves took advantage of the opportunities and now most of the gear is in the hands of happy users; I know I haven't been coveting anything much lately. As an opportunist of sorts, there are a couple of items I might yield to temptation for at giveaway pricing, but I doubt such an opportunity will happen.

No one ever said working for Madonna would be easy, and one nanny just learned that lesson the hard way.
A nanny, known only as Angela, that was hired to look after Madonna's adopted son David has quit because she just can't handle working for the Material Girl anymore.
She resigned earlier this month but wasn't allowed to fulfill her notice period because Madonna was furious over the fact that someone would quit working for her.
A source tells British newspaper the Mail, "Angela is distraught. Madonna told her the news two hours before she was due to go on her annual month-long leave. Angela was incredibly upset and very surprised.
The rumor is that Madonna was furious that Angela was leaving and dismissed her before she had the chance to complete her full notice. No one knows how she will cope without a nanny. She depends on her staff very heavily."
A spokesman for Madonna adds, "I do not comment on household issues but I can assure you that David and Madonna's other two children are very well taken care of at all times."
When you're mother is worth a gazillion dollars, we'd only expect her children to be "very well taken care of," but getting used to new nanny's all the time could be annoying too.
And why is Angela "distraught" when she was the one who quit? What do you expect when you resign?! Bet she sold this story to the Mail to make up for the severance package she clearly didn't get.

NFL Pick – Week 5
Game Overview
There are no concerns about a slow start for San Diego this season with three straight-up victories in its first four games and a 3-1 record against the spread as well. The only setback was an ugly 27-3 loss to Atlanta as three-point favorites at home, but the Chargers won their other three games by a combined 43 points.
Their offense, behind a revitalized Philip Rivers at quarterback, has been very efficient with the ball. He has completed close to 70 percent of his passes for 897 yards and six touchdowns. The real improvement with this team has been on the defensive side of the ball. San Diego is currently ranked 12th in the NFL in total yards allowed and sixth in points allowed; giving-up an average of just 17.8 points a game.
If there were ever any questions about what value a great head coach brings to a team, they have all been answered in New Orleans' shocking 0-4 start with its coach Sean Payton serving a year-long suspension from the NFL for his role in the team's bounty scandal. The Saints are 1-3 ATS after failing to cover as favorites in three-straight games.
The problems run deep on this team with an offense that is ranked third in the NFL in passing the ball but ranked 26th in rushing with an average of only 80.8 yards a game. Drew Brees is completing just 57.6 percent of his throws and while he does have 10 touchdown passes so far he has also been picked-off five times and sacked nine times.
The defense has really struggled right across the board in all four games. It is currently ranked 24th against the pass and dead-last in the league against the run. This has resulted in it giving-up an average of 32.5 points a game, which is ranked 29th in the NFL.
It is hard to have much faith in the Saints after such an abominable start, but this team is still too good to be losing games like they have. The total margin of defeat in their last two games was just four points so they are getting close. Take a flyer on New Orleans this Sunday night to snap out of its funk with a big victory at home that easily covers the 3.5 points. New Orleans 34 San Diego 26

The lure of the moto adventure and the scariest of all topography.
The last year of my life was spent working very hard on a book that I published about the music scene here in Austin. It did very well, selling in 12 countries and has enjoyed a very warm reception.
This trip is my chance to follow another passion, exhale, enjoy some down time in the saddle, laugh with friends, and see some beautiful remote areas of this country of ours. Also, I will get to spend some of my attention with my inner dialogue.
My therapist believes I am agoraphobic. The description from
reads as follows:
Symptoms of agoraphobia include anxiety and subsequent avoidance of being in a situation in which one will have a panic attack, when in a situation from which escape is not possible, or is difficult.
When I read this a couple years back I was relieved. At least there was a name for all the crazy shit going on in my head. I used to live a less than healthy lifestyle and I thought it was just payback time and I was going to lose my mind. Most of the time I am not panicky. The situations which now bother me which never used to, are ones where I have no control or where I can't extract myself quickly. Airplanes, for now, are way too freaky. I couldn't care less about turburlences; it's just being stuck on that thing that scares me. Waiting on tarmac for an hour would be my undoing.
Statistically, motorcycles are infinitely more dangerous but the critical difference is the perception of some degree of control, whereas on a plane I am totally surrendered. What this has allowed me to do is slowly stretch out of my comfort zone in a way that I can really seem to grow from. Motorcycle travel forces me into the current moment in a way that I hadn't previously known. Yes, I still freak myself out about all kinds of future events that could maybe just maybe happen, but I am working on it.
This is my once-and-for-all hang it all out there for a month and
My ride report "Hypothermia or Bust" spoke a lot about my strange inner workings and many of you really related.
So, if you are up for traversing the darkest, scariest topography of my tattered cerebellum, read on. If you are more the type who is manly man, leather chaps, no helmet, grunting about your 600-mile a-day-trip to Sturgis, you'll probably get bored of my sensitivity. I'm just grateful we have a community who are willing share what all this adventure means to them.

Encholirium ctenophyllum
Encholirium ctenophyllum
Species information
Encholirium ctenophyllum Forzza & Zappi
Rated by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) as Vulnerable (D2).
Campos rupestres (montane subtropical savanna), at 1,000 to 1,200 m above sea level, on or amongst inclined arenitic/quartzitic rocks.
The leaves of this species have long spines at the edges.
About this species
Encholirium ctenophyllum is a newly discovered species of bromeliad with comb-like leaves, and occurs in a very specific habitat, within an area of less than 10 km2. The population of this species is just 10 to 12 km away from another new species (E. agavoides). These two species are cut off from one another by the steep descent to the gorge of the Rio das Pedras. This river divides the municipalities of Santana de Pirapama (where E. agavoides is found) and Santana do Riacho (where E. ctenophyllum occurs).
Discover more
Geography and distribution
Encholirium ctenophyllum is restricted to the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is a narrow endemic (found in a very limited area), occurring only on the west slope of the Serra do Cipó. This species is found at 1,000 to 1,200 m above sea level, in populations growing on top of, or amongst, inclined arenitic/quartzitic rocks. This species is found growing alongside Cipocereus pleurocarpus, Vellozia spp. and Encholirium subsecundum.
Of the 23 species of Encholirium, nine are restricted to the 'campos rupestres' of the Cadeia do Espinhaço in Minas Gerais, and seven of these are narrow endemics in the region of Diamantina and Serra do Cipó. The discovery of more narrowly endemic species in this relatively well explored area of the Cadeia do Espinhaço highlights the complexity of the micro-habitats and the high plant diversity and endemism of the 'campos rupestres'.
Overview: This species has rosettes of leaves up to 12 cm wide, with long leaves that are recurved (curved backwards).
Leaves: The leaves are silvery to reddish in colour, triangular in shape and have long spines along the edges.
Flowers: The green to yellowish flowers are borne in terminal spikes, and are densely packed at the end of the inflorescence.
Fruits: The fruits are brown and capsular, with minute seeds. This species is thought to be pollinated by insects, and the seeds dispersed by the wind.
Threats and conservation
This plant is a narrow endemic (occurs only in a very limited area) and is hence vulnerable to climate change, fire and habitat destruction.

Network Adapter vendors
The NDis WMI classes expose some information about the vendors that produce the various adapters in our systems
function get-adaptervendor { param( [string]$computer="." ) Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Class MSNdis_CoVendorDescription ` -ComputerName $computer | foreach { $id = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi ` -Class MSNdis_CoVendorId -ComputerName $computer ` -Filter "InstanceName='$($_.InstanceName)'" New-Object -TypeName PSobject -Property @{ Computer = $_.__SERVER Adapter = $_.InstanceName Active = $_.Active Description = $_.NdisCoVendorDescription Vendorid = $id.NdisCoVendorID } } }
Msndis class
The MSNdis class from the root\wmi namespace calls the MSNdis_CoHardwareStatus and MSNdis_CoDriverVersion classes. On my Windows 7 system it tries to call something else but I get a "Get-WmiObject : Not supported" error. Neither of these classes seems to have much in the way of documentation available.
Rather than calling MSNdis and getting a lot of WMI objects it would be better to combine the output. There are a set of MSNdis-co* classes
gwmi -Namespace root\wmi -List *ndis_co* | sort name
Lets see what we can find out about them
function get-adaptercoinfo { param( [string]$computer="." ) Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Class MSNdis_CoHardwareStatus ` -ComputerName $computer | foreach { $drv = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi ` -Class MSNdis_CoDriverVersion -ComputerName $computer ` -Filter "InstanceName='$($_.InstanceName)'" New-Object -TypeName PSobject -Property @{ Computer = $_.__SERVER Adapter = $_.InstanceName Active = $_.Active HardwareStatus = $_.NdisCoHardwareStatus DriverVersion = $drv.NdisCoDriverVersion } } }
Start with the MSNdis_CoHardwareStatus and match to MSNdis_CoDriverVersion on instance name (associators don't seem to be created for these classes). Put the appropriate properties into an object and output.
The output is best displayed like this
get-adaptercoinfo | ft -a
European PowerShell Deep Dive–presenting
I was notified last night that my submission to the Deep Dive was successful and I will be presenting. There will be a good number of PowerShell MVPs attending. This will be the PowerShell event of the year in Europe. The one in April in the USA was brilliant – this will be at least as good.
Event details from http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2011/08/02/extending-discounted-registration-amp-session-proposal-deadline.aspx
Network Adapter details
In this post –http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/powershell/linking-the-network-card-to-the-registry-settings/ – I showed how to get the NetLuidIndex by linking the network card to the matching registry settings. There is another way to get some that same information.
function get-adapter { param( [string]$computer="." ) Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Class MSNdis_EnumerateAdapter ` -ComputerName $computer | foreach { $nic = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Class MSNdis_EnumerateAdapterEx ` -ComputerName $computer -Filter "InstanceName = '$($_.InstanceName)'" $header = $nic.EnumerateAdapter.Header New-Object -TypeName PSobject -Property @{ Computer = $_.__SERVER Adapter = $_.InstanceName Device = $_.DeviceName Active = $_.Active Index = $($nic.EnumerateAdapter.IfIndex) NetLuid = $($nic.EnumerateAdapter.NetLuid) Revision = $header.Revision Size = $header.Size Type = $header.Type } } }
Use the MSNdis_EnumerateAdapter class to get the adapters and match to the MSNdis_EnumerateAdapterEx class on the Instance name. Not sure what size and type signify but they are identical on all adapters on my Windows 7 machines.
NOTE: The Index property is NOT the same as the DeviceId/Index property on the Win32_NetworkAdapter\Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration classes.
Testing the network speed
In the last post I showed how to use the MSNdis_LinkSpeed class. Digging into the class information I found a suggestion that the speed returned was in Kbps. The answers didn't look right especially when they suggested my wireless network was running at 540Mbps!
At bit of experimentation produced this
function test-linkspeed{ param( [string]$computer="." ) Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Class MSNdis_LinkSpeed ` -ComputerName $computer | foreach { $nic = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapter ` -ComputerName $computer -Filter "Name = '$($_.InstanceName)'" New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{ Name = $_.InstanceName NdisLinkSpeed = $_.NdisLinkSpeed TestNdis = $_.NdisLinkSpeed / 10000 Speed = $nic.Speed Test = $nic.Speed / 1000000 } | select Name, NdisLinkSpeed, TestNdis, Test, Speed } }
Use the MSNdis_LinkSpeed class as before. Pipe into foreach and get the corresponding Win32_NetworkAdapter class. I know that the speed reported there is in bits per second. Create an object that shows the speeds reported by the two classes, convert Win32_NetworkAdapter speed to Mbps and play around with the divisor for Ndis speed until it matches. Turns out MSNdis_LinkSpeed reports in 100s of bits per second.
Odd but fun
Network Link Speed
The root\wmi Namespace contains a class that just returns the link speed of your network card. Quick and easy to use function.
function get-linkspeed{ param( [string]$computer="." ) Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Class MSNdis_LinkSpeed ` -ComputerName $computer | select InstanceName, @{N="Speed(Mbps)"; E={$_.NdisLinkSpeed/10000}} }
The documentation I could find suggested that the NdisLinkSpeed property returned Kbps but that gave some odd results. Experimentation and a bit more research suggested I needed to divide by 10000.

Ping a subnet
I recently needed to find which IP addresses were active on a subnet to track down a printer. Quickest way was to ping them.
function ping-subnet { param ( [parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [ValidatePattern("\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b")] [string]$subnet ) 0..255 | foreach { $address = "$subnet.$_" if (Test-Connection -ComputerName $address -Count 1 -Quiet){ Test-Connection -ComputerName $address -Count 1 } } }
Put the subnet in as a parameter. Then work through 0 – 255 building an address from the subnet. use test-connection in quiet mode and if it responds do a 1 count test-connection (ping) to get the result.
Not necessarily the quickest but it was quick to throw together and it works
Create a process on a remote machine
We can use the [wmiclass] to create a process but it doesn't allow us to set the credentials. We can get round that by using a bit of .NET code. [wmiclass] is as accelerator for System.Management.ManagementClass so we go back to basics
function new-process { param ( [string]$computer="localhost", [string]$procpath="C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" ) $conopt = New-Object System.Management.ConnectionOptions switch ($computer ) { "." {break} "localhost" {break} "$env:COMPUTERNAME" {break} default { $cred = Get-Credential $conopt.UserName = $cred.UserName $conopt.SecurePassword = $cred.Password } } $conopt.EnablePrivileges = $true $scope = New-Object System.Management.ManagementScope $scope.Path = "\\$computer\root\cimv2" $scope.Options = $conopt $path = New-Object System.Management.ManagementPath $path.ClassName = "Win32_Process" $proc = New-Object System.Management.ManagementClass($scope, $path, $null) $proc.Create($procpath) }
The computer name and path to the exe we want to run are given as parameters. We create the System.Management.ConnectionOptions. If we are targeting a remote machine we can add the credentials (doesn't work for local machine). The switch simplifies the coding of avoid local machine
The scope and management path (name space and class) are set and then we create a new instance of the class. We can then use the Create method to create the process.
Ethernet Errors
While we are looking at the MSNdis_Ethernet* classes we should consider these three that pick up potential problems
If all is well we will get an answer of zero for each of them – no errors and no collisions. Its a bit awkward working through each class in turn and we get a lot of "noise" returned so the following function concatenates the results.
function test-etherneterror { param( [string]$computer="." ) Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi -Class MSNdis_EthernetReceiveErrorAlignment ` -ComputerName $computer | foreach { $one = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi ` -Class MSNdis_EthernetOneTransmitCollision -ComputerName $computer ` -Filter "InstanceName='$($_.InstanceName)'" $more = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\wmi ` -Class MSNdis_EthernetMoreTransmitCollisions -ComputerName $computer ` -Filter "InstanceName='$($_.InstanceName)'" New-Object -TypeName PSobject -Property @{ Computer = $_.__SERVER Adapter = $_.InstanceName ReceiveError = $_.NdisEthernetReceiveErrorAlignment OneCollision = $one.NdisEthernetOneTransmitCollision MoreCollision = $more.NdisEthernetMoreTransmitCollisions } } }
Start by getting the members of the MSNdis_EthernetReceiveErrorAlignment class. Loop through them and get the related MSNdis_EthernetOneTransmitCollision and MSNdis_EthernetMoreTransmitCollisions classes.

They do a lot for their employees and if you are motivated enough you can survive the current bad press. Its the games industry - there are ups and downs. The teams are great and there are many talented people around - we just need to make the most of it.
Many creative people and of course some, that have less socials skills than others - but that's variety and what makes it interesting.
The brothers are working on it and people can see that they are under a lot of pressure.
We lost many good people but still have enough people trying to turn things around. Reading other reviews is sad as we have people writing the reviews that are unhappy with the situation but also not in the position to get all information from upper management. Which is normal! This is how business work.
Still, the current atmosphere is tensed. It will be better.
And yes, if you need help you have to ask - sometimes twice - as these are difficult times for everyone and every department. So cut your co-workers a little slack. If you show commitment, it is always rewarded in the end (whereas: not by more paid days off or money. Sadly).
So big con: Not enough vacation days! 24 should be minimum and would definitely lighten the mood.
Advice to Management
More company meetings or face to face talks with the departments. This will relief some pressure and might lighten the atmosphere as all employees seek more transparency (which of course is only possible to a certain degree - this must be understood by all).
There are many good people and if you see that they are important (even PMs as there are people who can't do the job but its needed!) and value them, they might be more supportive. Commitment needs a fair chance.
Also: You hired people for a certain job as they are the professionals. Please don't cut in their decisions. Bigger picture for management and employees to be minded! We can't all be good in everything and need trained people to make decisions. (Still: Not by everyone)

Your guide to the newest portable gear
Stenbock & Everson's ChartCase Professional
Scope from PCAvionics
Stenbock & Everson's Chart Case Professional Version 5 software turns a tablet PC running Microsoft Windows into a Class 1 EFB with such features as in-cockpit weather (when used with a compatible XM satellite radio receiver), moving map (when used with a compatible GPS receiver), digital charting (including all U.S. sectional, WAC and low/high en route charts), approach plates and taxi diagrams, traffic (with an optional Zaon XRX receiver) and even GPS-based synthetic vision with Highway in the Sky (HITS). The software runs on any Windows-based PC with a 900 MHz processor and at least 512 MB RAM and 10 GB available disk space. Price is $449. The company also offers a variety of tablet PC hardware and accessories. A subscription is required for chart revisions. Contact: Stenbock & Everson, www.flightprep.com.
One-Of-A-Kind Portable Traffic Avoidance
While a wide range of portable collision avoidance devices are available, Zaon's PCAS XRX ($1,495) truly is in a class by itself. The company calls it "the first-ever portable, passive, stand-alone collision avoidance system for general aviation to offer direction from within the cockpit." The XRX's integrated display gives relative position for up to three transponder-identified targets (prioritized by risk of collision) and shows you which way to look. When used with a compatible EFB or GPS navigator, the XRX can provide MFD-like traffic displays without the expense involved in panel-mount solutions. Contact: Zaon Flight Systems, www.zaon.aero.
