Microsoft Vision of the Future

This is what MS has presented as their vision of 2019. I must say that it’s impressive. I like the idea of everything being wireless. Well, let’s wait and see. What I know now it’s that I definitively want such cool tablet.

Why to work in IT

This funny image was attached to article on Polish portal. Article was about the thing that most of people from IT work less than 6 hours a day. This data was taken from a survey runned by sladhdot.com. Well, I can only say that it’s a pity that it doesn’t work that way in localization industry (which I’m in). Some people have more luck I guess.

Hyper-V on Dell Optiplex

As I’ve had problems with setting this up I thought that it would be nice to share a resolution. So, to enable Hyper-V support on Dell Optitplex go to BIOS and set everything as described below: Security > Execute Disable (set to On) Performance > Virtualization (set to On) Performance > VT for Direct I/O Access (set to On) Performance > Trusted Execution (set to Off) Save your changes.

MTS 2008

Finally I’ve a little time to write about the conference I’ve attended this month. It was Microsoft Technology Summit in Warsaw, Poland. It was a bunch of lectures about current IT stuff. I’ve been on almost all lectures about Active Directory service in which I’m very interested. They were great, especially one given by Tomasz Onyszko. This guy is awesome and really knows his work. There was also a tremendous duet, John and Sally, they’re born to giving lectures.

I'm speachless

I’ve seen the last lecture of Randy Pausch “Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”. And only one thing I can say right now is wow. This guy was amazing (was, because unfortunately he died on 26th of July this year, RIP). I wish I had such professor when I was at university doing my MA. He was quite a guy, with power and energy, and he was very good with people I believe.
