The Devils are rolling, the finance market is crashing, GM is soone no more, an many many other things are happening...<br /><br />The Devils are playing greate hockey and playoffs are closing in.<br />Brodeur is back and playing well, Thanks Scotty for the a fantastic season!!!!!!<br /><br />On the job, It's a lot of work with SQL Server. Analysis of server configurations, permofrmance tuning, cluster configurations and many more things are going on with this product right now.<br /><br />Hey it's fun to work with this product because all the time you notice something new you can do with it.<br /><br />Last week we configured a database mirroring setup for a customer, and I have never seen a SQL server that handles that many databases.......<br /><br />Next week I'm going to install a new SQL cluster to a customer, so they can use it and evaluate how it all works, before the put it in production.<br /><br />Then I'm off to a vacation for 2 weeks to a very sunny place.<br /><br />CheersTechnicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658474077671873975.post-58895378399820222252008-10-04T19:32:00.005+02:002008-10-04T19:37:41.627+02:00Internet Explorer 8 BetaI downloaded and installed Internet Explorer 8 Beta yesterday.<br /><br />I found it to be a good browser with a few new features that might be usefull.<br /><br />It's worth checking out........Technicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658474077671873975.post-81409250239070876482008-09-11T10:13:00.001+02:002008-09-11T10:13:45.625+02:00Make Firefox fasterFollow these steps if you want Firefox to performe faster<br /><br /><br /><br />1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:<br /><br />network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests<br /><br />Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.<br /><br />2. Alter the entries as follows:<br /><br />Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"<br /><br />Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"<br /><br />Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.<br /><br />3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.<br /><br />If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!Technicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658474077671873975.post-51087990764605955492008-07-03T22:35:00.003+02:002008-07-03T22:42:10.637+02:00Devils Offseason movesIt have started, the Free Agency.<br /><br />The Devils have signed former Devils players Brian Rolston and Bobby Holik.<br />Holik got a 1-year 2.5 million contract while Rolston signed for 5-years 20 million.<br /><br />I think these are goid signings and will fit well with the needs we have.<br /><br />Before the free agency began, Salvador, Pandlofo, Clarkson and Tallackson where signed on different contracts.<br /><br />Of these i find Salvadors contract to be quite much money for a defensive defensman just like White's contract. But it's nothing to compare with what Commondore got in his contract. Just plain stupid. <br /><br />I think the devils are pretty much done with the signings of free agents.

I also hate all these adds and have use adblock to get rid of them. I also used an add on called IE tab, where i can run websites that needs IE, like Outlook web access.<br /><br />I recently found an add on to IE where I can block ads, and as we know, from IE 7 you can also browse in tabs. Check out <a href="http://www.ie7pro.com/">IE7Pro </a><br /><br />So now i don't know what broswer i should use, it's looking though i'm going to use IE at work for all systems that rely on IE, and thats alot of systems.<br /><br />At home I'm still going to use Firefox.

It was the first fight for Parise in NHL.<br />Elias had a big game friday night with a goal and assist.<br />Paul Martin sat out again, let's hope he will be back soon.<br /><br />Saturdays game against Toronto, we just got lucky bounces. Toronto hit the post 3 times during the first period, so we should be very happy with this win.<br /><br />Parise scored the winning goal just under a minute to go in the game.<br /><br />We have now 3 straight wins and lte's hope the streak continue on tuesday against Montreal.<br /><br />Devils continue to led the eastern conference 1 point ahead of Montreal and Pittsburgh.<br /><br />Here arfe some highlights from the games:<br /><br />Tampa Bay @ Devils<br /><iframe width="500" height="380" frameborder="0" src="http://www.nhl.tv/team/embed?hlg=20072008,2,1023"></iframe><br /><br />Devils @ Toronto<br /><iframe width="500" height="380" frameborder="0" src="http://www.nhl.tv/team/embed?hlg=20072008,2,1030"></iframe>Technicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658474077671873975.post-82141067529815178472008-03-07T19:20:00.002+01:002008-03-07T19:23:40.876+01:00New inventory softwareToday I've tested a new inventory system at a customer.<br />They didn't want to spend any money on this system (thank you open source projects).<br /><br />So after a a few minutes I installed a software called spiceworks.<br /><br />I't work fine, and it got what we needed.<br /><br />Let me know if you have any inventory system that you want to recommendTechnicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658474077671873975.post-35978347970301997122008-03-05T11:03:00.003+01:002008-03-05T11:22:09.173+01:00Create a self signed certificateDuring this week I've created a couple of certificates for our webserver.<br />We have both IIS and apache servers for different systems and their requirements.<br /><br />If you need a certificate in IIS and don't want to pay a signed certificate from, say Verisign.<br />All you need to do is to install selfssl from the IIS resource kit on the server where you have IIS.<br />then you just run the following command to create a simple certificate:<br />selfssl.exe /N:CN=website.com /K:1024 /V:365 /S:1 /P:443<br />You should change the CN name to match with your website or URL.<br />/K is the key size, /V is how long it's valid, /S is the site number /P is the port<br /><br />If you want more info on this run selfssl.exe /?<br /><br /><br />If you need to create a certificate with apache, just install openssl and run the following commands.<br /><br />openssl genrsa -out ca.key 1024<br />this creates a private key in ca.key<br /><br />openssl req -new -key ca.key -out ca.csr<br />This creates a CSR file named ca.csr using the ca.key key file. You can submit this file to certification authorty, like Verisign. They will use this file to create a certificate for you.<br />You will be asked several questions here, and make sure that Common Name match your website.<br /><br />Next command will create a self-signed certificate that you can use on your apache webserver.<br />openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in ca.csr -signkey ca.key -out ca.crt<br /><br />If you're using apache on windows you should run the following command and use the new key created.<br />openssl rsa -in ca.key -out ca2.key<br /><br />Otherwise you get the following message in the apache error log and can't start the apache service: SSLPassPhraseDialog builtin is not supported on Win32.<br /><br />Good

losing streakThe Devils lost saturday night for the third straight game.<br />Right now their are not creating much of offense.<br />They have scored 2 goals in that span, and you should thank Brodeur that we even had a chance in these games.<br /><br />I really don't know why coming to this kind of streaks, I'ts not the first time.....<br /><br />On saturday against Montreal Martin, Greene, Vishneski was healthy scratches.<br />I can agree that Greene and Vishnevski should be scratched, but Martin, no no no.....<br /><br />I think that Martin should be paried with Oduya, they have proven to be a steady definsive pair. The same goes for White and Mottau.<br />Now the hard part is where Salvador fits, maybe he should play with Martin.<br /><br />I think Greene is still to soft, remember last game against Carolina, and Vishnevski is making to many misstakes.<br /><br />I don't know, just start winning.......Technicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658474077671873975.post-13792174542039762952008-02-29T10:34:00.003+01:002008-02-29T10:39:51.038+01:00Johnny Oduya soloHere is when he scores against Carolina<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uWHwJjbSjUE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uWHwJjbSjUE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Technicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658474077671873975.post-33785004182749261532008-02-29T10:30:00.001+01:002008-02-29T10:40:36.849+01:00Rupp - Brookbank fight<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tR9otvp_5HU"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tR9otvp_5HU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Technicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658474077671873975.post-65136875514953050192008-02-27T15:31:00.002+01:002008-02-27T15:33:00.557+01:00Sharepoint installation<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Today I've installed and configured a Sharepoint server for the company where I'm sitting.<br /><br />They had a requirement that they should be able to access the site from the the in and outside.<br /><br />So now I've configured that with SSL and basic authentication and they are very pleased with the solution.<br /><br />Hope i have more time to a more detailed report later<br /><br /><br /><p class="poweredbyperformancing"><br /></p></div>Technicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658474077671873975.post-61830272748051228422008-02-27T09:02:00.004+01:002008-02-27T09:16:35.539+01:00Trading deadlineNow we have passed the trading deadline.<br /><br />25 deals were made this day, some minor and som quite big.<br /><br />The Devils picked up Bryce Salvador from the Blues in exchange for Cam Jansen.<br /><br />I'm a bit sad to see Cam go. He had such energy when he played, but he had trouble getting back in the lineup. He's a good fighter and can add some toughness to the Blue.<br /><br />What i don't understand is why we picked up Salvador, we now have 9 defensmen on our roster.<br />We now have:<br />White<br />Martin<br />Mottau<br />Oduya<br />Greene<br />Brookbank<br />Rachuneck<br />Vishnevsky<br />Salvador<br /><br />Maybe Lou or coach Sutter knows something a don't (probably).<br />I think at least 1 of them will be sent down to Lowell<br /><br />Penguins got Hossa, but may have paid a big price for him.<br /><br />Stars got Richards<br /><br />Sharks got Campbell<br /><br />Capitals got Huet and Fedorov<br /><br />It should be exciting to se which deals turn out to be good ones.........lets get back to that in the summer.Technicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658474077671873975.post-24223433193940354952008-02-26T10:36:00.004+01:002008-02-26T10:43:12.207+01:00Devils on fireThe Devils have been on fire lately!

I think it's a very important game, either we hang on the top teams in the conference or we are fighting for a playoff spot.<br /><br />Right now the Penguins leads the Atlantiv division with 3 points ahead of Devils.<br />The Flyers are 1 point behind us, and have not played very well lately.<br /><br />So tonights game is very important, and we can gain even more if we win these 2 games against the Senators (we meet them again on saturday).<br /><br />It feels good to have Pandolfo back in the lineup.<br /><br />Did you see the goal Oduya scored against Carolina??? If you didn't, look at it here.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWHwJjbSjUETechnicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658474077671873975.post-68971023122928072552008-02-05T10:08:00.001+01:002008-02-05T10:09:20.093+01:00Noooooooooooooooo<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t6-4IeLuGWs/R6gnt77dF9I/AAAAAAAAACk/WJVBZ7R7Ohc/s1600-h/nooo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t6-4IeLuGWs/R6gnt77dF9I/AAAAAAAAACk/WJVBZ7R7Ohc/s320/nooo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163420642914932690" border="0" /></a>Technicaldevilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01231895771456762563noreply@blogger.com0
