Microsoft Innovations

I’m happy to see Microsoft still has some very bright heads and provide the community with sophisticated Innovations. Of course the best ones are always subject to patent applications. So happened with the latest development in OS technology.

Now, the question remains: Do they need 30 years to come up with this solution or did they just start study other Operating Systems and took some ideas out of?

Please exercise some indulgence. Bear in mind Microsoft Research act as Platinum Sponsor for the Advanced Computing Association and Unix magazine ever.

TechTalk SharePoint 2010

Am Montag den 18.01.2010 fand in Wallisellen der TechTalk zum Team SharePoint 2010 statt. Geführt wurde die Veranstalltung von Herr David Schneider (http://blog.sharepoint.ch/)

Mein erster Eindruck von SharePoint 2010 ist sehr überzeugend. Viele Funktionen, welche mit SharePoint 2007 noch programmiert werden mussten sind nun integriert. Dabei hat besonders die Datenintegration von Drittsytemen imponiert. Diese lässt neu nicht nur die Ansichten von externen Datensätzen zu, sondern auch deren Bearbeitung. Ebenso erscheint der SharePoint 2010 mit derselben Navigation wie das Office 2010 und wird so für die Benutzer viel intuitiver.

Interessieren würde mich nun noch das Lizenzmoldell :) .

I found time to write about my Ubuntu setup. You can find some informations about fancy Linux apps here:

Grub 2

Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic koala) comes with Grub 2 (1.97~beta4). Some improvement:
- Universal support for UUIDs
- Scripting support including conditional statements and functions
- Boots from LVM, RAID and ext4 directly
- Non-X86 platform support (such as PowerPC)
So, lets see how we can make some default grub-legacy changes in grub 2.

Change screen resolution (for grub-menu):
gap@devBox:~$ sudo vi /etc/default/grub
Now you can edit the GRUB_GFXMODE (uncomment and change VBE Mode)
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024
You can show your supported VBE modes when you hit c in the grub menue, and run vbeinfo in the appearing console.

Change the tty resolution:
Even if my laptop has a intel grafic chip, im using the uvesafb kernel module. These, because you have much more work with the intelfb module.
So, you have to load the uvesafb, and you should also be sure its not blacklisted.
# write the name of your module in this file:
sudo vi /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
# uncomment the line if the modul is blacklisted:
sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf
# update initramfs
sudo update-initramfs -u
# install v86d (if you use uvesafb)
sudo apt-get install v86d
After that we can edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="video=uvesafb:mode_option=1600x1200-24"
After a
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot
Youre done.

Welcome

In September I began my studies in computer science at the Hochschule Technik & Architektur in Horw. I planned to do a full time study but changed my mind when a friend came to me and asked, if I could imagine to study extra-occupational. He gave me the address of Bruno Joho and in a little while I found myself in an interview with Bruno. He made me really enthusiastic and curious about more! So I decided to apply for the job, even if I had no Solaris experience and, in my last job, was mostly employed in ANSI c programming. Now, the first semester in the enterprise lab core team is over, I’ve seen a lot of new things, and there is still so much more, that I’m curious what the future will bring.
