Today is the day when order becomes chaos
Been getting questions about her transactions (pls post them on my blog as comments) Thought I’d clarify that the transaction section is delayed. This means that there is a lag between the time the trade occurred and when it is printed, i.e. a few periods ago PrincessTenko dabbled in that stock. See her in action (and possibly here arch rival … Continue reading PrincessTenko’s delayed Stock transactions
Been thinking about the most accurate method for forecasting. More closely to my line of work, I’d like to forecast database growth over a specified period of time into the future? The common method I have seen used is to simple use excel and plot a trend line from previously collected data, while this can … Continue reading Forecasting Database Growth

Noticed that despite the fact that one of my VM’s (Win2k8, 64Bit) was configured with 2Gb Ram and 2 CPU cores the performance, even while idle, was not as expected. It was sluggish and so unresponsive that the snap-in loader timed out all the time. This was very frustrating, I increased the RAM, Pagefile, name it … Continue reading VMWare Server 2 Multicore Performance
There are people on this planet earth, wonderful as it is, that don’t want to learn about the glue that holds all things together.

In my scripts I usually like to “fork” things off especially say when manipulating data. With this module it’s as easy as a foreach loop: use Parallel::ForkManager; use PiroLabs::Utils::DataCruncher; … Continue reading use Parallel::ForkManager
Impressed as I was, the pi worked with the WiFi gizmo out of the box, once I setup the keys and SSID from the desktop. But really DHCP is not ideal especially if you want to use only the ssh server (don’t care much about the mouse and desktop fluffy stuff). Ran into a roadblock … Continue reading Raspberry PI: Static WiFi IP
Got my raspberry pi recently, been waiting since early April. At first I did not do much with it but today after a few days i picked it up, loaded the Debian Linux (Raspbian “Wheezy”) and I can say it’s awesome. The possibilities are limitless, with some using it as a media streaming device (XBMC) … Continue reading Raspberry PI … Finally
For a while I noticed the performance of a virtual machine (2 cores, 2GB, Win Server 2K8 R2 64Bit) was very poor, while the autostart services always timed out. After starting services manually things eventuallystarted working although at a sluggish pace. Fixed: changing the VMWare device adapter from IDE to SCSI, the performance has signifincantly improved.
