Use Mobile as a Webcam

Oooops!! I don’t have a webcam in my Laptop, I am working in the office where I can’t take webcam every day, Oh No!! My Webcam broke today.. For all these issues there is better way, use your mobile as webcam and save few bucks... Yes you can use your mobile as a Webcam.(Most of the new mobile comes with built-in camera and supports JAVA), if you don’t have one, get one ;-)

You can turn your iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile or Symbian smartphone into a high-quality wireless webcam. Connect it to a Mac (iPhone version only) or PC using a Wi-Fi connection and share bright moments of your life that cannot be caught with a built-in webcam or USB camera.

Free Storage for SMB's

Stand By Energy Consumption

Below are few of the findings which I feel worth sharing with you all..

When you turn off your TV, PC, or DVD, it still consumes energy. The standby mode does not mean it doesn’t consume energy, as how much energy each appliance uses during standby mode, take look at the chart below. In order to eliminate the energy consumption you could either unplug the appliance or use a switchable power strip for clusters of computer or video products. That way you can switch everything to zero with one action. The magnitude of the standby power consumption should be taken very seriously, since it comprises from 10% to 15% of your power bill. Altogether, standby power use is roughly responsible for 1% of global CO2 emissions.

LLT does not work with Linux NIC bonded interfaces during initial startup of symantec cluster

Here goes the Solution…

We can configure Linux NIC bonds as private links under LLT. LLT treats each bonded NIC as single link. So, we must configure these NICs that form the bond in such a way that the NICs are connected to the same switch or hub.

In order to properly configure a linux bond interface to use as an LLT link it MUST be defined as follows in the /etc/llttab: 

Virtual Disk Issues in Vmware ESX

I have found that most of us have struggled a lot when it comes to converting physical System to Virtual (P2V), Due to the IDE disk which VMware is struggling to understand. Generally we see such issues with windows XP, windows 2000 and windows 2003(64-bit).

Most of my colleagues have complains about.....  

• Virtual machine contains an IDE virtual disk does not detect after P2V conversion.
• Virtual machine fails to boot with a black screen after P2V conversion with just blinking underscore on the black screen.
• Or with some errors like “disk error occurred, press ctrl+alt+del to restart” after P2V, the virtual machine fails to boot.
