Pappardelle e fagioli

Aside May 1, 2019 Mike Leave a comment

1 can Romano beans
Half can tomato
Tomato sauce to taste
1-2 packages pappardelle
Eggs (optional)
Onion/garlic/meat (optional)
oil/spices to taste Food process/blend beans and tomato (and optionally eggs)
In saucepan, heat oil and brown any onion/garlic/meat
Add food processed mix to saucepan and simmer (until eggs and meat are fully cooked if using these ingredients)
Boil water, salt, and add pappardelle – cooking al dente, drain water and add enough sauce to fully cover each noodle as the processed bean will cause significant reduction

VHD Management

Aside March 28, 2013 Mike Leave a comment

The following is a primer on managing virtual hard drives using Hyper-V manager. Virtual hard disk files are stored as either .vhd or .vhdx files which use .avhd and .avhdx differencing disks respectively for snapshots. Both formats support either fixed size or dynamically expanding. The .vhdx format is new as of Server 2012 and provides some improvements over the previous .vhd format including increased storage capacity.

For a list of changes in the VHDX format, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831446.aspx

All examples are performed using Hyper-V 3.0 on Windows Server 2012 (minimum version required).

Bitcoin: Data Cost

Aside October 3, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

Somehow my blkindex.dat file became corrupt the other day so I got a little nervous as I remember that one .dat file contained all my bitcoins – within a split second I realized this is the wallet.dat file so I quickly backed it up again for added piece of mind. While in the bitcoin data directory I noticed the size of the blkindex.dat file was over 1 gigabyte! And then the blk0001.dat was 2GB, blk0002.dat was another GB! Let’s not forget about debug.log – another gigabyte. Over 5GB to be able to use the currency? And how many people are using the currency? A lot. This is a problem that is inherently created due to the nature of the currency. But what are some possible solutions? Continue reading Bitcoin: Data Cost →

First to create a new console application:

New Project – Proxmox

Aside September 25, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

After my VPS fiasco last week, a new interest has been sparked in VPS hosting. I started installing Proxmox on an old desktop – E6700/6GB/750GB – and will play around with it tomorrow. If it shows promise I will re-install on something more robust. Continue reading New Project – Proxmox →
