A new kind of virtualization

There are plenty of virtualization technologies. There are organizations like VMware, VirtualBox and XEN, whose virtualization allows one to run several virtual computers using one physical computer. I worked at a company called ScaleMP. ScaleMP’s technology, vSMP, turns multiple physical computers into one large computer. Today I was looking for something different. I was looking […]

Crisis, over?

After almost a month of attempts to bring things back on track, I think I can say that it is almost over. It seems that I won’t be able to bring things same because this new domain is newer than alexandersandler.net and it seems that search engines care about domain age. On the other hand, […]

Crisis

Just wanted to share with you. My web-site is currently in the middle of crisis. Recent changes in the web-site caused its Google ranks to drop so dramatically that I barely see visitors. I think adding another domain caused most of the problem. Having two domains pointing to the same web-site created so called duplicate […]

I got new email address

So, once you got SIGSEGV, consider all that useful […]

Todo list

I usually have something like 10 different articles, on different subjects in stock. Every day I pick myself an article or a couple and add few paragraphs. Because this is how I work, I often don’t release new stuff for months and then release several huge articles in just one week. This way of working […]

Marketing experiment

Marketing is the driving force behind many things. This includes web-sites of course. Few weeks ago I decided that creating good content for the web-site is not enough. It is important to promote it as well. So I thought if I put so much time into writing stuff, why not spend couple of minutes making […]
