Ever need to track the performance of your internet connection in a pinch? I did the other day when a customer we installed DIA services for complained of poor performance. I’ve tried many schemes in the past to do this kind of testing and this time I wanted to do something new. I also wanted
I’ve been going nuts with my new Lenovo Yoga 920 latop due to the touch pad zoom sensitivity. I love the laptop but every time I’m scrolling a page the page zooms in and out like crazy. I kept reading online that there is a Device Settings tab in the additional mouse settings panel, but
Ever wonder how people get those cool blow off turbo noises or crackle of their exhaust? How about clear audio from inside the cabin? Today I’m going to teach you how to build your own sound studio in a bag. We’re going to mic up my exhaust, intake/turbo and myself while I drive around. After

I’m playing around with the theme now and will re-populate the original content from the custom site. I am also exploring some of the caching and content plugins.
Today I ran a workshop with our newest network administrators; Our topic was denial of service mitigation. We currently utilize Arbor Peakflow Threat Management System to detect and scrub inbound attacks. Arbor is a phenomenal system capable of amazing performance. With the right tuning, templates and bandwidth it’s virtually handsfree. However some motivated attackers manage to
I’ve encountered this issue several times on windows VMs (sadly need a few still) where modern versions of Windows, i.e. Windows 8 will occasionally prevent you from deleting a directory.
