Comment on Network Dictionary - Application Delivery Controller by wan acceleration technologies

I’ ve had occasion to try out taksi, it worked well for GDI capture, but for Direct3D capture on the engine I used it failed in CTaksiDX9:: GetFrame during GetRenderTargetData. I’ ve found a solution by disabling the avi feature (I didn’ t need it) and using screen capture through the texture api with a direct surface to file save- I used D3DXSaveSurfaceToFile. GetRenderTargetData failed with INVALIDCALL- I didn’ t investigate further, but your comments and the msdn documentation suggest it could happen due…

Comment on CSM 3.2 - Notes When Upgrading - RME 4.1 Problems. by Greg Ferro

Yes, you can use the Single Sign On feature that uses Common Services to bring many separate CiscoWorks servers into a singe authentication domain. The Cisco ACS server can also handle AAA or users since the installation extends the ACS schema to add roles and permissions for users.

I’ve got CWLMS 6.0 installed which basically means I have RME 4.1 at hand. I also have CSM 3.1 installed on another server and was thinking about doing an upgrade to 3.2.

Questions is, can I integrate CSM 3.2 with the RME 4.1 on another server?

Hi;

Thanks for this info. One of the things that amused me when I first moved to Sweden was that their date format is YYYY-MM-DD. I guess they were just following standards.

Well, for Network and system administrator and the one i use is VIM or if you need graphical enviroment GVIM it is the BEST!!!!
The best of all is that VIM work the same in any S.O., windows, OSX, Linux, BSD, …..

BBEdit is good but to expensive.

One thing I forgot: For working on plain textfiles (IOS-configs and such documents) I use Smultron which is also a great editor. It can be used as editor in Cyberduck and uses tabs (on the left side) for multiple opened files. These can also be organized as projects.

Text Wrangler does rock. I’m not really impressed with text edit since it wants a new window for every file. Great Post!

Since plenty years (starting on Atari ST over OS/2 to Windows and now MacOS) my Text-Editor is Papyrus from a small german company (the software is also available in english). It’s not so bloated like other Office-Applications but “just works” and is really fast. I still use it for Documentation that I work alone on as it has an own data-format. Especiallly with very large documents (hundreds of pages) it was always easier and faster to use than any other program I tried. (Their english webpage is not up to date, the last update of the software was on the 22nd of October).

For “shared” documents that also have to be modified by colleagues I now use OpenOffice3.

I also have iWorks on my Mac but think that was a waste of money. The features I need are not available and the rest is easier done in papyrus and OpenOffice.

xPad: Thanks for that great hint! I didn’t know that.

Comment on Autonegotiation on Ethernet - It Works, It Should Be Mandatory! by Pushkar Bhatkoti

good research. The point is if any vendor doesn’t follow the standard it’s not your fault. Your concept still works e.g. leave auto-neg on.

well written.

You can also do a “show mod”

That gives you all the output and it’s much easier to read.
