Of course resetting to default profile is not useful, but that's the first step towards actually writing a working tool I can integrate with something else.
This appears like it might be needed for Windows at some point too, since +Anker appears to have dropped the ball. While you can find the drivers on their website still, they are quite hidden. And indeed the direct link from the app to check for updates (by the way, they have not updated the app in two years) brings you to a 404.
So hey, I'm useful again.
Luckily we're in the common market (and we're staying there, UK is up to them) so I can just order it from Germany to reach me here.
I have an ASUS X99-S motherboard, and a WD MyBook USB3 HDD. I bought the HDD as a backup disk, as I use this workstation for my pictures and a lot more stuff that is important. That is not the sole backup of course, but it is an important one (it's obviously cheaper to just restore fresh from the drive than defrosting Amazon Glacier.) To do so I used the SmartWare utility provided by WD. It's fairly limited, as you have to pay to backup to something that is not a WD drive, but I didn't care. It did what I needed to, and it was simple. If I were to pay for a backup utility, I'm sure not going to pay for SmartWare but I'd be looking at something more professional.
Today I noticed that the backup has not been running since April. WTF? When I checked SmartWare, it wouldn't see the MyBook as a backup target. Which is not good. I tried using the WD utilities, and none of them could accept the MyBook as a WD drive. I tried replugging the drive on different ports, controllers, and even using USB2, nada. I tried powercycling the drive. Nothing.
Then I checked the Device Manager and the connection tree, and the drive was looking out as being connected to a "ASUS BOT" controller. That doesn't sound right. A quick googling around shows me that ASUS BOT is their "turbo mode" for accelerating UASP devices. Essentially something to make them go faster. Go to AI Suite, disable Turbo mode for the device, and the utility recognize it again, and SmartWare tries to push the hundreds of GB it missed in the past few months. After all what's the point of going fast if it doesn't do what I need it to do?
But this brings up the problem that relying on SmartWare is a bad idea because even if the hardware is a WD drive, it might not be recognized as such. And that significantly sucks.
What I would need is essentially Time Machine for Windows. Now it is true that Windows 10 has some basic backup features I could rely upon, but I'm not sure how those would work outside of Windows if I needed to recover stuff with another box.
Thus I currently have a (not-yet-releasable) go repository with the updaters for those two services, even though Afraid does not really need one, and I indeed solved the problem there by using a single curl -6 call. I also have tested dns-01 challenge with lego and Gandi.
But at the end, before going to sleep, my impression is that I trust Afraid more than Gandi, even though it is not perfect (e.g. by default Afraid provides you a non-HTTPS endpoint.) Indeed, Afraid provides you with one token per host you want to update, and the token can only update that one host. So if your token gets in bad folks' hands, they can at most hijack the one host.
But if a Gandi API key is leaked, or somehow manages to be accessible to an attacker... every domain and every zone is attackable. Because there is no other validation. That key, is a single string token that effectively sidesteps every other bit of authentication, including 2FA. I just deactivated my production key. I have working code, but I won't use it.
I sure hope that the service owner at Afraid can tell me of an API to change TXT records on their side. I really would like to keep using them for my home services'. If that fails, I may take Hector's advice and just build my own.
But I've not stopped RE'ing. Things to do next week include calling the US company that makes CVS's and Walgreens's store-brand glucometers to procure myself a PC-connection cradle.
I'm also waiting for a set of meter and cable from the manufacturer that shows up first while looking for "glucomter" on Amazon UK.
I think my current plan is to just procure myself a set of non-major-brand glucometers to document the protocols of. If nothing else, this can be of use to people who might want to download the data from Linux. And if with a bit of luck, having actual documentation for enough of these would make it possible to write more universal apps for glucometer data handling.
And who knows, maybe I can write a talk about this for a FLOSS conference at some point.
Does anybody know of a blog aggregator service rather than software?

To best capture the primary value of Cloud Computing I always recommend looking at the scenario of a new entrepreneur launching their online business.
The Cloud has made entrepreneurism itself more accessible to more people, lowering the barrier to entry by lowering the costs it takes to launch a new online venture by a magnitude, while simultaneously improving the quality of the apps you can produce, and how quickly you can produce them.
Combined with the continuing explosion of online users and how much they grow their daily use of social media, e-commerce etc., this is a massively potent combination.
Of course this benefit isn't limited to startup entrepreneurs – Harnessing the Cloud to grow online sales is obviously a success that any and all businesses would enjoy, and doing it faster and cheaper is equally smart for all of them.
In my view there is no Cloud provider who better supports and exploits this trend than Google.
Certainly while Amazon is recognized as the IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) leader, where they have huge depth of scale in this field, Google can be characterized more by breadth of offering.
This also highlights the key distinctions between the layers of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS and how this relate to the process of rapidly developing and launching new online ventures.
Amazon is indeed hard to beat for the raw compute power that developers want when they have custom coded an app all by themselves, but this is not the only way to achieve the goal.
The effect of 'standing on the shoulders of giants' is best exploited when you consider PaaS (Platform as a Service), and it's especially important to this scenario because it emphasizes reusing what is already available to build your new product, rather than trying to hand-code it all from scratch.
In short why spend all of your investment money on developing technology that is already to hand, when in instead you can assemble 'lego bricks' quicker and more effectively, and then concentrate your funding on marketing and acquiring customers.
The power of this approach is demonstrated through a few great examples:
- In this blog they analyze how Google Apps has been used to develop a mobile sales voucher system in Africa. This explains how all the PaaS component parts have been used to build a point of sale system, using services such as 'Fetch URL' to exchange messages with mobile networks and send text alerts.
- Streak CRM is a powerful example because as well as also using this same approach they are also working through Google as their route to market, embedding a CRM tool into the very popular GMail tool. They make the critical point that the PaaS approach is how you "use the best tool for the job" and how your own product can be as big as the modules you are basing it on – For example they are leveraging the Prediction API to embed this intelligence into the CRM service, making smart recommendations for how users can file their emails.
- In Scaling SongPop and Building Scalable Games they describe how the platform scale and raw utility like storage can be harnessed for large scale ventures in social and gaming applications.
It`s all about Google UC
This platform approach can be applied to a number of sectors in a highly disruptive manner.
One key industry we will focus on in upcoming blogs is UC: Unified Communications.
As this diagram shows, the evolution of this is to 'Social Communications and Collaboration', a scenario that Google is ideally positioned for.
The real strength of the Google play is the ability to develop for the end-to-end experience: The Google suite extends right down to the browser (Chrome) where some plug-ins at that end might be the real lynch pin to a killer business model.
For example in this month`s Entrepreneur magazine they report on how a startup called Crowdcall is enjoying massive growth simply by having a conference call service that calls you, rather than you dialing in. It also taps your Linkedin contacts to automate the dialing.
That's such a simple idea but a killer app one that is driving growth of 100% a month!
Google is an ideal platform for your own disruptive models like this. Example PaaS modules include the Mail API and XMPP, and they offer their own ideas for Google innovations in telephony.
This end to end capability is very nicely demonstrated in this presentation recently delivered to the Toronto Google Developer Group, introducing the role of 'Google Cloud End Points' in the process of developing apps for Android mobile devices.
Of course this highlights what a wealth of talent is available in this area in Toronto, so if you would like to explore how your venture idea can be built on the shoulders of giants, stay tuned for upcoming CCN events.

An Australian hotel tagged in an overnight graffiti spree by Justin Bieber says it gave the Canadian pop star permission to spray paint the wall.
"He asked, and we said YES", the QT Hotel on the Gold Coast says on its Facebook page next to a picture of the colourful spray can artwork.
Bieber landed himself in trouble after photos and video footage showed him nonchalantly spraying cartoon faces in fluorescent paint on the wall at the Surfers Paradise hotel early on Wednesday following his first Brisbane show.
Gold Coast mayor Tom Tait said the council would order the QT Hotel to get rid of the graffiti.
However, the hotel reckons it's a coup to have the star paint "a piece of art in appreciation of his stay".
"This piece of art is now available to be viewed by fans of the artist and we believe that it is a wonderful addition to the colourful Gold Coast arts scene," the hotel said.
The graffiti was on private property and not accessible from public land, a hotel spokesman said, which meant the council had no authority to get rid of it.
It said in a comment on its Facebook page that "we absolutely gave approval".
The singer has been given two options by the mayor to make amends.
Tait wants Bieber to either clean up the mess himself or perform a free concert at an upcoming Christmas carols event.
"The last thing we want is to have graffiti glorified and more young people thinking it's a cool thing to do," he told AAP.
"I know he's got beautiful eyes. I've got some goggles for him, and some gloves because I know he doesn't want to get his hands dirty," he said.
A photo of the group's artistic offerings was even posted on Instagram.
Comment is being sought from Bieber's management.
It is understood the singer will make a statement shortly.
Bieber's decision to adorn the Gold Coast's QT with his spray-paint graffiti art might signal a return to form by rock stars in hotels.
The QT are probably happy to keep Bieber's blobby figures by the tennis court, even if Gold Coast City Council wants them painted over.
Given his fondness for spray cans, Bieber might find it hard to book into so much as a youth hostel for the rest of this tour.
But the incident adds to the popster's street cred and shows he has the potential to act like a real rocker.
In recent years, stars have tended to be very boring in hotels, rarely wanting more than blackout curtains and a good night's sleep.
Yes, Demi Lovato said in a 2012 interview that trashing a hotel room was "the most rock 'n roll thing" she had ever done, and Britney Spears was reportedly banned from the Chateau Marmont in 2007 for smearing food on her face and disturbing fellow diners.
But it's nothing like the wild old days, when hotel managers would flinch whenever a pop star checked in (or, in the case of Michael Hutchence and Whitney Houston, checked out).
Led Zeppelin's Jon Bonham rode a motorcycle - his 25th birthday gift - up and down a corridor of the Los Angeles Continental Hyatt House Hotel, which was nicknamed "the Riot House", courtesy of incidents involving televisions dropped from windows by Keith Moon and Keith Richards.
Back then, big bands would rent entire hotel floors.
That might explain Led Zeppelin's notorious "Mudshark incident" at the Edgewater Inn, in Seattle, Washington, in 1969. The hotel was so directly on Puget Sound that guests could fish from their windows. (Pay attention: this is relevant.)
Word soon got out that a groupie had had pieces of mudshark, or possibly a red snapper, stuffed into her vagina. It's hard to see how this was anyone's idea of a good time, but apparently the woman involved didn't complain.
There continues to be debate about which people and fish were involved (John Bonham probably, but red snapper isn't indigenous to the area).
In 1973, Led Zeppelin were banned from the Edgewater Inn, apparently after 30 mudsharks were found under beds and in bathrooms and closets. For good measure, they also threw around some beds, televisions and china.
Way to go, Bieber.
The Who's drummer Keith Moon made a habit of blowing up hotel toilets.
In 1967, while celebrating his 21st birthday at the Holiday Inn in Flint, Michigan, he blew up the loo, and started a food fight by throwing a cake into partygoers.
Soon fire extinguishers were being emptied, and Moon broke a tooth.
He later said he topped it off by backing a Lincoln Continental into the pool, but there's a question-mark over this.
There's no doubt about the exploding toilets, however.
Moon started in 1965 by flushing cherry bombs down S-bends. He later used sticks of dynamite: "All that porcelain flying through the air was quite unforgettable," he said.
And Moon was thorough. He once insisted his limousine return to the hotel because, "I forgot something". He vanished inside, and minutes later a TV hurtled out the window. Moon got back into the car and said, "I nearly forgot."
The Who were allegedly banned for life from Holidays Inns, but Moon wasn't inconvenienced for long, dying in 1978 aged 32.
Rock's hotel incidents haven't rated since.
Neil Smith, the Alice Cooper drummer, reportedly sent a two-metre high Coca-Cola vending machine flying. Amy Winehouse threw a bowl of spaghetti bolognaise at a Berlin hotel wall, and got into such a fight with her husband at London's Sanderson Hotel a repaint was necessary.
Johnny Depp (who plays mean guitar) and Kate Moss were found in a trashed suite at New York's Mark Hotel after reports of shouting and smashing.
Depp initially blamed an armadillo for the damage, but paid over almost US$10,000. (Roger Daltry, formerly of The Who, was staying in the room next door and scored Depp and Moss 1 out of 10: "The Who could have done the job in one minute flat.")
Michael Jackson dangled his baby son Blanket (aka Prince Michael II) over a fifth-floor balcony at Berlin's Adlon Hotel in 2002. The king of pop later said he'd been "caught up in the excitement of the moment".
Three years later, Jackson reportedly opened the door to a housemaid at London's Dorchester Hotel while dressed as Mickey Mouse, which is odd but not very rock 'n roll.
Marilyn Manson generated the following headline in 2012: "Marilyn Manson trashes family friendly hotel with sex toys. Shock rocker even left pizza on the ceiling."
But on the whole these days if a rocker is escorted off a hotel's premises, it's because of fan behaviour. Bieber had to leave the Langham in 2012 because Beliebers were besieging the London hotel and its switchboard.
Nicki Minaj tweeted in 2011: "We've officially been kicked out of the hotel! Lmaoooooooo." Dozens of fans had earlier invaded London's Dorchester to look for the star, got into fights and sprayed graffiti in the lifts.
Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Oasis and Poison all had hotel moments. Ace Frehley, of Kiss, stuck furniture to a hotel ceiling while on tour, allegedly with the help of four roadies. (Other bands claim to have managed the same feat.)
AC/DC are always mentioned in connection with hotel bad behaviour, but Angus Young told Rolling Stone in 2001: "I never wrecked a hotel room in my life! If I'm gonna sit there and throw a TV out the window ... if it's a good TV, maybe I should just take it home."

come on guys-- youre having a laugh,
This review is from: Superfreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance (Paperback)
I loved freakonomics and was looking forward to this sequel. What a disappointment.
Firstly the book was 270 pages long, of that there are 80 pages yes eighty pages of introduction,explanatory notes ,contents,epilogue and index leaving 190 pages of prose. Given the authors propensity to repeat and regurgitate facts you can get the picture that there is not much new in this book. The ability of these guys to spin out a very few facts into a whole chapter is amazing. A disappointment but it makes one wonder about the veracity of the first book. sorry guys you should have had this book edited and then rejected.

Stronghold Lyrics
Artist: Funker Vogt
Album: Navigator
Our shields are all down
Nothing can hold them back
An overwhelming force came for just one reason
They came with a thousand ships
And soldiers by the million
Blasterfire smashed our shields
They all came tumbling down
Once they win
Once they drop their guard
We will hit them
We will hit them hard
This fight is lost
This fight will end our reign
But we will return
Our light will shine again
Obviously, there is so much
- so much worth fighting for
And too few men are left to hold the ground
- to hold the ground
Finally it is time â- it's time to retreat
Assembling all our forces in our last stronghold

Airport security revises screening rules for wounded warriors
PHOENIX — From now on, military veterans with severe injuries will pass through TSA security checkpoints a little faster.
On Wednesday, the agency announced the new rules, which state that wounded warriors will be able to go through checkpoints without having to remove shoes, light outerwear jackets or hats.
"In addition to that, if they notify us either by email or a phone call, we're going to meet them at the curb when they get to the airport, escort them to the security checkpoint, and then when they're done with screening we're going to escort them to the gate," said Nico Melendez, TSA spokesman.
Melendez said the changes are not in response to last week's accusations made by friends of a Marine, who said TSA agents at Sky Harbor made him remove his prosthetic legs.

LUXEMBOURG, LUXEMBOURG -- (Marketwired) -- 03/21/14 -- NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, HONG KONG OR JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. OTHER RESTRICTIONS ARE APPLICABLE. PLEASE SEE THE IMPORTANT NOTICE AT THE END OF THIS PRESS RELEASE.
Northland Resources S.A. (OSLO: NAUR)(FRANKFURT: NPK)(OMX: NAURo) - (together with its subsidiaries "Northland", "NRSA" or the "Company") will today launch a USD 50-75 million super senior secured bridge bond offering to be issued by Northland Resources AB (publ.) as part of the ongoing refinancing process of the Company.
In a press release dated November 14, 2013, Northland announced that the board had decided to set a target for financial headroom, leading to a funding requirement of up to approximately USD 150 million.
The Company has now decided to propose an offering of super senior secured bonds (the "Bridge Bonds") by Northland Resources AB (publ.) ("NRAB"). The Bridge Bonds will firstly be offered on a pro rata basis to existing holders of the Company's outstanding First Lien Bonds, according to the allocation procedure set out in the Term Sheet for the contemplated issue. The lower amount of USD 50 million has been pre-committed by certain existing bondholders, guaranteeing a successful bond issue. The Bridge Bonds shall have a term of 6-12 months and accrue PIK interest at 11% per annum. For more information on the proposed terms and conditions, and an operational update, please refer to an investor presentation dated March 21 (the "Investor Presentation") that will be made available on Northland's website.
The Bridge Bonds constitute a short-term component of meeting Northland's funding requirement of up to approximately USD 150 million. The Company still aims to secure long-term funding for the entire required amount, and intends to present a long-term financing proposal later in 2014. The proceeds from the Bridge Bonds are expected to provide sufficient liquidity until long-term financing is in place.
As part of and subject to the contemplated long-term financing, certain bondholders in the First Lien Bond have committed to convert approximately USD 60 million of their First Lien holdings either to shares in NRSA, or a new unsecured fully subordinated bond. Such a bond would be issued by NRSA, have a tenor for three years, carry PIK interest only and be mandatorily convertible to equity with a strike price of 35% above the share price at the establishment of the new bond.
Also as part of and subject to the contemplated long-term financing, approximately USD 60-65 million of trade debt will be converted to shares in NRSA.
Northland has today called a bondholders' meeting to seek approval from its bondholders to issue the Bridge Bonds on the contemplated terms.
Arctic Securities ASA and Swedbank are acting as Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners.
Northland is a producer of iron ore concentrate, with a portfolio of production, development and exploration mines and projects in northern Sweden and Finland. The first construction phase of the Kaunisvaara project is complete and - production ramp-up started in November 2012. The Company expects to produce high-grade, high-quality magnetite iron concentrate in Kaunisvaara, Sweden, where the Company expects to exploit two magnetite iron ore deposits, Tapuli and Sahavaara. Northland has entered into off-take contracts with three partners for the entire production from the Kaunisvaara project over the next seven to ten years. The Company is also preparing a Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for its Hannukainen Iron Oxide Copper Gold ("IOCG") project in Kolari, northern Finland.

Programming Tools: FitNesse
Seldom does a tool or product span the worlds of end users, QA and development. It is rarer still for such a tool to do so simply and elegantly. FitNesse, however, does all of these things superbly.
FitNesse is a collaborative tool based on a wiki that allows users, developers and testers to define, modify and delete tests. These tests are more like usage scenarios. You define what you expect to put into the system and what you expect to get out. The FitNesse framework runs your test and displays the results on a wiki page. To make it all work, FitNesse comes with its own simple server, so no other software is required.
FitNesse defines tests using one or more tables. Each row defines a set of inputs and an expected outputs. Each table has a title and a column heading describing input parameter names and the names of the expected output results. To indicate an output column, the column name ends with a question mark (?).
As an example, assume I am writing a routine to capitalize words, defined as strings of letters separated by non-alphabetic characters. A set of tests for this is shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Capitalize Words
|Output ?
|a short sentence.
|A Short Sentence.
|partial Capitalization test
|Partial Capitalization Test.
|Already Capitalized!
|Already Capitalized!
One of the truly brilliant parts of this tool is it is based on a wiki. This offers two important advantages. First, executable code can be associated with widgets, such as buttons, on a page. Second, anyone can edit pages simply. On each FitNesse wiki page there can be a test button. Clicking it processes all the embedded tables in the wiki page and produces one or more tables. Processing Table 1, for example, produces Table 2.
To create this table, you could edit the page and insert the text for Table 1 as:
|eg.CapitalizeWords| |input|output?| |a short sentence.|A Short Sentence.| |partial Capitalization test.|Partial Capitalization Test.| |Already Capitalized!|Already Capitalized!| |woops!|woops!|
You also could create this table using any spreadsheet program that generates CVS files. You then can import them into Fitnesse.
Although I showed only one test set here, you also can organize pages and tables into suites of tests.
Fitnesse is a GUI built on top of the FitFramework, a Java application. The way things work depends on conventions and processing done by the Fit framework. When the "Test" button is pressed, Fit scans the source for tables. The first row in the table is expected to be a class name. For example, Fit would expect to find a CapitalizeWords class with public member variables corresponding to the input columns--input, in this case--and a public member function--output--corresponding to the output column. The Java code looks like this:
import fit.ColumnFixture; public class CapitalizeWords extends ColumnFixture { public String input; public string output() { return Capitalize(Input); } }
Currently, FitNesse supports Java and C#. Testing code like this is called a fixture. Having executed the fixture, Fit compares the actual result with the expected result. Depending on the comparison, the result is color coded: green means a match, red means a mismatch and yellow means an exception was thrown. For a mismatch, FitNesse shows expected and actual results. For an exception, FitNesse shows a stack trace.
Also, as part of the Fit framework, introspection is used to associate the requirements of the output functions with the input parameters. This greatly simplifies writing fixtures and makes developing test code trivial. Most test code is simple; usually, it is simply a thin wrapper around actual code.
Now consider a slightly more complex example. We are developing a mailing list, and we want to keep it as clean as possible--no invalid addresses and no duplicates. First, we must define the appropriate "classpath" to the fixture code in any FitNesse page that contains test code. It must appear before any tables:
!path /home/reg/MailingList/
FitNesse displays it as:
classpath: /home/reg/MailingList/
Next, define your table by editing a wiki page and writing:
|eg.MailingListAdd| |address|validAddr?|duplicateAddr?|finalAddr?| |123 Main Street, #3a|Yes|No|123 MAIN ST APT 3A| |18 Ash Lane|Yes|No|18 ASH LN| |43 Ave|No|No|| |18 Ash ln|Yes|Yes|18 ASH LN| |43 First Ave|Yes|No|43 FIRST AVE|
It should end up looking like what is shown here:
The Java code to implement this fixture is:
import fit.ColumnFixture; public class MailingListAdd extends ColumnFixture { public String address; public boolean validAddr() { return AddressIsValid(address); } public boolean duplicateAddr() { return FoundAddr(address); } public String finalAddr() { return StandardizeAddr(address); } public boolean addAddr() { // Business logic dictates that we // only add an address if the address // is valid and not a duplicate. // While we could check it here, it // really belongs in the code that // this test code invokes. return AddAddr(address); } }
Notice that the addAddr member function is as thin as possible, because you don't want to put business logic in testing code. It should exist in the actual code. If you have a series of tables in a page, they are evaluated in order, from top to bottom.
To handle the complexity often found in real-world systems, FitNesse uses a hierarchy of wikis, called sub-wikis. Organizing test suites in this way helps with organization and avoids unexpected name collisions. To assist with this type of organization, FitNesse allows inheritance of parent variables, page headings and footings, and other values, including classpaths. It also supports symbolic links, which simplifies complex hierarchies.
FitNesse is a combination of Java and JavaScript. I used the July 31, 2005, version for this article.
If you are like me, you build up a limited set of test cases for any code that you produce. One of the main reasons the code fails is the invalid assumptions I made. To overcome this, others need to supply test cases. Thus, I see the process as:
I write the code.
I test fixtures to exercise the code.
I write the initial acceptance tests using FitNesse.
All other stakeholders define additional test cases by editing the FitNesse wiki page and using the simple FitNesse syntax.
Any problems are reported back to me with all the information I need to reproduce the problem.
Repeat steps 4-5 with occasional code fixes.
You can consider the testing code I write to be unit testing. The testing code the other stakeholders write is acceptance testing code. As they say, unit testing ensures that the code is built right and acceptance testing ensures that the right code it written.
Why am I really excited by this technology? It allows all stakeholders to define acceptance tests using the same simple language. In other words, they can talk to one another. Even non-technical people can produce tables of what is expected for what input. And even techies can read those tables and use them to validate their work. Generally speaking, FitNesse is a great concept and a terrific open-source solution to an often difficult problem.
One last note: I often have had problems installing products. In the case of FitNesse, it was almost flawless. Only a minor hiccup occurred, which I solved instantly. It had defaulted to using port 80 for its Web server. That port is the same as the one used by Apache and other Web servers. The error message was clear, and a convenient command-line parameter made the fix trivial. Also, the User's Guide is well-written. Reading it is a must for those who have not had previous experience with using wikis.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

"Who do you think you are? A celebrity or something? Having a videographer at your wedding is a bit posh," someone close to me said.
Having spent a lot of time looking through wedding websites, it was clear that hiring a videographer (and not just asking drunk Uncle Roger on his Handycam) was becoming A Thing. And I could see why. I've said before how I would roar with tears watching complete strangers' weddings - so how would I get on watching my own?
Well, yesterday, I got to find out.
VIEW GREER'S WEDDING VIDEO HERE (Warning: Mr Greer's aunt said it best when she said there should be a new movie rating - 'T' for tissues required - if you're a sop, like me.)
Already clogged up with snot and lurgy from my summer flu (what is UP with that? I feel so ripped off!), Mr Greer and I sat down and watched our wedding highlights film, made by the incredible Jono Tucker.
We cried, we laughed, and at the end, Mr Greer said "It's over. We're married!" It certainly felt as though we'd lived the day all over again and that same post-wedding feeling swept over us.
I was nervous knowing this video would be available to the public. As you'll see, it was an intensely private day full of very real emotion - but nothing's really private these days, is it?
Feedback from our friends and family - especially the ones who couldn't make it to the big day - has been incredible. That's what we wanted; for people who matter to feel as though they were there, and for those who were there to see a true representation of the day they were involved in.
Our friends at BubbleRock also summed it up in this lovely tweet: "If this doesn't make you want a film for your wedding: NOTHING ever will. This is perfect." (For us it just made us want to do it all over again!)
Maybe you'll choose to have your day filmed, maybe you won't. It doesn't matter. It's your day. But we do not regret our decision whatsoever. We didn't even really notice the videographers as they moved around us during the day - which is the best part when watching it back again.
Anyway, I hope our story touches you in some way - even if it just makes you smile at my geeky facial gestures and inability to take anything too seriously. Memories are all we have, and these ones are pretty precious to us. As Hugh Hefner's piece of fluff tweeted this morning: "You'll never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory." Not her words, obvioulsy, but fitting nonetheless.
Happy Friday folks! x
