Reduce disk space used by Windows with WIMBoot

May 8, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Please enable Javascript, because you won’t see all of the content. Windows Image Boot (WIMBoot) allows you to run Windows from a compressed Windows image file (WIM file) which significantly reduces the amount of space used by Windows. WIMBoot takes Windows 8.1 down to just a 3-GB installation! It seems that Windows gets bigger with every release. This hasn’t been an issue with most devices because storage is so incredibly cheap. Certain devices could benefit from more storage, though. Getting more storage can involve cloud-based solutions and creative tweaks to the OS.

Hyper-V Replica to the Rescue!

May 6, 2014 / / 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.

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-Rémi Babé told Mashable. “Instead I could…
