Increase A VMware Disk Size (VMDK) Formatted As Linux LVM
This is a very well written and concise article on extending an LVM drive. Well done Matti!
The only downside is the inevitable beep in the middle of the night that wakes you up.
Enter Llama. It's designed to change the ringer and notification volumes depending on the time and where you are.
Previously I used Foxyring, but that used GPS data which sucks the battery dry, so I ended up just using the timers.
Llama however has a trick up its sleeve - passive scanning of cell towers (already known by the phone unless you've put it in flight mode). By using this instead of GPS, you can have some really nifty rules.
For instance I have my phone go louder when I leave home, and very loud when I'm working in the noisy Datacenter, but quiet at work and at home, and silent overnight.
It's highly configurable but the defaults are pretty useful.
That's where Evernote and my favourite Catch notes come in. They also have the added bonus of syncing with the cloud so it's easy to get the content when you're back at your desk again.
I prefer catch mainly because it can be moved to sd card (which breaks widgets) and it has a small lightweight widget for quick notes.
Well designed, easy to use and rather useful.
So kicking everything off is Jota, a text editor. Advert free, it does everything you want from a text editor in windows, let alone on a mobile phone.
The first in an intermittent series of posts for my top free PC tools concerns Macrium Reflect.
It's a great imaging tool (similar to Ghost) that can even do bare metal restores via a linux or WinPE boot disk (depending on hardware compatibility fo course).
The best news is they offer a freeware version, so there's no reason not to get it...
When you try to change a service console IP from DHCP to Fixed, you'll get this error.
A simple workaround is to add a second service console with a new IP and delete the original.
What process is running on the open port: Tracking down which process identifier (PID) has a port open is quite easy when netstat is run with the -a -n -o combination of parameters
A useful article explaining the netstat command parameters, especially the example I'm always looking for which shows the process name.
