This is not a fancy project to demonstrate what can be done with the Pololu Servo Controller. This is the bare minimum to get your Arduino working with the Pololu Servo Controller. The rest is up to you.
Dreamweaver is very nice, but for personal use who’s able to justify the costs of the upgrades.
My objective was to have two apache web servers that were load balanced, but I didn’t want to have a single point of failure load balancer and I didn’t want to spend the resources of two more servers solely for a highly available load balancer. So I combined to run the load balancers on the […]
This is usually caused by a DNS resolution problem rather than an actual NTP issue. I power up and shutdown test machines all the time so things are always changing. If the configured DNS is no longer valid then boot up time can be painfully slow. In order to speed up the process there are […]
I’m super happy to be off a couple small 4GB desktops and onto a real server class computer. CPU has not been the bottleneck for me, but memory has been very limiting. Most of my test machines sit around idle most of the time, but having to pick and choose which ones you have to […]
My searches for a script to upgrade the VM Tools without rebooting were all more complicated than I wanted to implement.

I much prefer if people would report how many VMs per CPU core they have. That’s meaningful, but what […]
After doing P2V conversions with VMware converter I always go through the pain of removing all the nonpresent devices from device manager. I have now found a script that does all this automatically. Thanks to Simon Price. Download the script.
Have a VI3 Infrastructure setup? Need to test vSphere before you install it on your prod systems, but don’t have the hardware resources lying around to do so? Then running vSphere as a VM is what you need. I found several articles that detail how to do this if you’re running VMware Workstation but not […]
