Hyper-V Replica to the Rescue!

May 6, 2014 / Paul / 0 Comments

Power outages are not infrequent where I live (something I find quite confounding – to be honest) and earlier this week we had an extended power outage and my Hyper-V servers were powered off uncleanly. When the power returned I had to sit down and make sure that everything came back correctly. At first glance, everything looked good. My Hyper-V servers powered up happily and started up all the virtual machines. Hyper-V Replica reported that it was in a critical state, but it automatically scheduled resynchronization for all of my virtual machines. But as I was going through the virtual machines, I found a problem. Something had gone wrong with my firewall. I could not figure out what exactly was wrong …

Get outta here, Comic Sans, and take Papyrus with you. A new open-source, online typeface editor wants to streamline how we design fonts, a process that is otherwise typically tedious and repetitive. Prototypo will let anyone design an entire font system all at once. For professionals this means a less time-consuming process than working letter-by-letter and for beginners it means a way to create something original without having a lot of expertise or running into legal issues by modifying existing fonts. “When I make a website I can go to a website like Google Fonts … but they’re very basic and I still have to browse,” Prototypo co-founder Louis-RÃ©mi BabÃ© told Mashable. “Instead I could…

Ghost-Hunting With Anti-Virus

In October 2012, data security firm Imperva released a controversial report on the efficacy of anti-virus (AV), which concluded that AV solutions only stopped 5 percent of all malware identified. Few reports in the security industry had been as polarizing as this one, many reacting with white-knuckle rage. It was a classic case of Chris Christensen’s “Innovator’s Dilemma,” where old school technologies cling to life, in the face of a new paradigm. Just yesterday, one of the original anti-virus vendors joined the fray in “declaring anti-virus dead” in the Wall Street Journal.

Matt did say that backlinks in the Google ranking algorithm still have many years left in them. Matt explained that Google is focusing a lot now on working on ways to determine if a web page is meets the expectations of an expert user. They do this currently by looking at the links to the page, the reputation of the site and pages and the quality of the content on that particular page. When Google is better at understanding actual language, natural language, which you see with their conversational search efforts. Google will be better to understand expert user’s queries and match them better…
