Facebook is usually fairly easy to use, work & play… However, when integrating Facebook into your website, you may run into some headaches. I’ve gone through the steps below several times, usually looking up the information each time. So, this blog post is just as much for me as it is for you! Step 1: When to use a Page OR when to use a Group Facebook Pages are best used for the corporate identity or non-profit public site. A group is better used to discuss a specific topic, and the group limits you to only certain functions. I would recommend you have a page first, and if needed, also a group for more targeted tasks. Step 2: Claiming your Facebook URL In order to properly link to your newly created Facebook page from a... |

Bob is one of the senior VPs at Microsoft. In an effort to understand ALL the Microsoft technology available, he has installed all the major technology Microsoft provides into an extensive data center, in his home. The setup is capable is serving 200-500 workstations, so it is a huge overkill for a house. The room is AC controlled of course, and well, just watch the video. What I think is really cool is that he has used terminal server, with a touch screen to implement touch panels all throughout the house, to provide streaming audio & video. In one of my next blog entries, I will show you my MUCH scaled down version of this setup at my house. It runs dual purpose, both as a data center for our home, and also... |

One of the new features post SP1 in both HyperV server 2008 R2, and Server 2008 R2 is the ability to use dynamic memory allocation for your hyperV VMs. A similar type of function has existed in VMWare for several generations, but Microsoft has put their own twist on the technology and included it as a free update in SP1. Dynamic memory allows you to configure a base amount of RAM memory for the VM, that can expand and contract with resource demand on the system. It’s a very efficient use of your RAM memory for servers running multiple hyperV VMs.  ... |

Great news. I just received this email from Netflix. What a great improvement for both users AND Internet providers!!! Email start ----> Starting today, watching movies & TV shows in Canada will use 2/3 less data on average with minimal impact to video quality. For example, watching 30 hours of Netflix movies & TV shows will only use 9 GB of data, well below most Canadian ISP data caps. Previously, 30 hours from Netflix typically used 31 GB. Why the change? We know that many of our Canadian members have monthly Internet data caps. This new default account setting will significantly reduce the amount of data Netflix delivers to you each month. You now also have the ability to manage how much data Netflix delivers... |

Starting in 2010, I began my first term as a board member on the Drumheller Chamber of Commerce. Recently, I was nominated for the position of Treasurer. I am proud to be a part of this organization as it is involved in all sorts of community projects, business team building groups, and supplies value added services to it’s members. The board consists of a well balanced team of individuals, each with their own respective outlook on where the community should go, and what we should strive to achieve. Our regular meetings are held at 7am on specific Thursdays, which is extremely early for this night owl, however it’s always worth the time spent. If you have any questions regarding the Chamber of Commerce, or have comments or ideas... |
