Nook: A Blogging Tool?

Aside December 5, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

I am writing his on my new Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight ereader. Yes, it is rooted, and yes, I am still getting used to the keyboard. Essentially this post is an exercise for myself to a) learn to type with a touchscreen keyboard (I have a QWERTY phone) and b) to determine if this is a viable blogging option. If I had to guess, I would say I could have written this post 4 times faster and with that amount fewer mistakes using a physical keyboard on a computer. Still I am really happy with the device’s capability thus far. Continue reading Nook: A Blogging Tool? →

Arbitrary Value Rating Lookup Table

Aside October 7, 2012 Mike Leave a comment

The penny would get a low value rating as it costs more to produce than it is worth. In fact, Canada has now discontinued its production as of May 2012.

If you are looking for an easy way to compare values of a given subset I have created a simple lookup table for arbitrary value vs. rating. For example a $10 item scoring 10 points would have a value of 10 such that the rating is determined by squaring the item’s score divided by the price of the item. It is very useful for rating items in the range of $10-$100 and can be easily manipulated to represent the value of any range by factoring the value of the lowest priced item in the range to equal 10, such that for a range of $100-$1000 the price would be factored by 0.1 (100 x 0.1 = 10).

Here is the simple math:

10 = MIN_PRICE x FACTOR

VALUE = (RATING x RATING) / (MIN_PRICE x FACTOR)

Read on to see a sample lookup table. Continue reading Arbitrary Value Rating Lookup Table →

Migrate a virtual machine using System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012

Aside March 26, 2013 Mike Leave a comment

Once you have gone through the lengthy and specific requirements to install and get VMM running (See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610592.aspx for all the requirements), added your physical servers to a host group for management, and configured networking ‘fabric’, you can use VMM to perform live migration between your servers running the same version of Hyper-V.

Note that starting in Hyper-V 3.0 VMM is no longer needed to perform live migration; they can be initiated directly in Hyper-V manager.

This guide assumes a pre-configured VMM, server, and network infrastructure (see the technet article for more information).
