A fairly common request is to be able to duplicate a Xen instance. For example you might have a DomU for the purpose of running WordPress and want another DomU to run MediaWiki. The difference in configuration between two DomU’s for running web based services that are written in PHP and talking to a MySQL […]

I’ve found a reasonably good free spider for checking for dead links, www.dead-links.com. When I told it to spider my main site www.coker.com.au it worked well and informed me of several dead links that I fixed.

One thing I had been meaning to do is to determine how to make a core dump of a Xen domain and then get data such as the process list from it. But tonight I ended […] One item on my todo list is to set up a bunch of email addresses on sub-domains of domains that I am responsible for (with the consent of all people involved of course) and perform various actions to get the addresses noticed by spammers and measure how effective the various anti-spam measures are. As part […] I recently had to decommission an old Linux server and replace it with a new machine. When I was about to turn it off I noticed a power cable of the type used for IDE hard drives leaving the Linux server and entering an NT server that was in the same rack! It turned out […] My post about Why Hydrogen Powered Cars Will Never Work has received a record number of comments. Some of them suggested that carbon geo-sequestration (storing carbon-dioxide at high pressure under-ground) is the solution to the climate change problem. The idea is that you can mix natural gas or coal gas with steam at high temperature […] |
