So when you’re told that you might have 30-odd students that need access to Linux for some course they’re doing, and you don’t have any spare machines and don’t want to dual boot with Windows on a computer suite and you don’t have time to do that anyway, what do you do? Well, one solution is what we’ve done: A Linux virtual machine running on a Hyper-V server, with “child” virtual machines, each accessible from a Windows machine. Specific for …
Play ALL the things.
It’s back to Assassin’s Creed this week, as well as a catch-up with some recent PS+ releases. Play Assassin’s Creed Unity (PS4) There’s nothing technically wrong with this, and I am enjoying it, it just isn’t drawing me back for some reason. I don’t think the billions of icons on the map are helping as it all seems a bit overwhelming. To counter this, I’m just sticking to the story for now, and I’ve reached Sequence 11, so not far …
Quite a few people on Twitter are having a bit of a moan at the moment. No change there. But one of the moaning points today is about Game’s announcement that they’ll be trialling the ability for customers to pre-order pre-owned games. That is, you can order a second-hand copy of a game before the game is even out. Exactly why this is attracting so much vitriol I have no idea. MCV are reporting it as “the first time that …
Of every games console or computer I’ve ever owned, the Sega Mega Drive is probably my favourite. It was my first console, and the one I own most games for. It also saw me through most of university, despite the N64, Saturn and PS1 all having just come out – I obviously didn’t have any money to buy them. It wasn’t until the end of 1999 that I bought something newer, meaning I’d had a full 8 years of Megadriving. …
This was today’s addition to Xbox Live Arcade. And it’s rubbish. I was hoping for something along the lines of Micro Machines, but instead, we got something worse than the monstrosity that is Hot Wheels: World Race. Disappointing.
When backing up to a Synology NAS using VeeamZIP via PowerShell, the job was failing with an “isFileExists” error. Here’s the solution.
One of our Windows 2008 servers threw a wobbly (technical term) after a power cut a few weeks ago, and although I got it working again, it wouldn’t install updates, giving error code 8000ffff each time. The usual searches of the internets suggested a common fault with Vista on Dell machines, but none of the proposed fixes seemed to work. They included uninstalling an update I didn’t have installed, running a Microsoft “Fix It” tool, which didn’t work, and installing …
Long, long ago, in a laboratory far, far away, the Lord God Clive created a Machine. A Machine to rule the world. A Machine with crappy rubber keys that felt not unlike dead flesh to touch. The Sinclair Spectrum. The year was 1982. The world was changed forever. Actually, that isn’t far from the truth. If it was not for Clive Sinclair’s genius then the home computer market today could well be very different. The Spectrum was an affordable, versatile, …
