Hello, I’m a PC. Again!

I got a new laptop from Dell. The Studio XPS 1645 featuring a powerful Core i7 processor with 4GB of DDR3 1333. Of course, I installed Windows 7 Ultimate that I received from the previous Microsoft event. Everything look and runs sweet. It came with a 9 Cell battery that last about 3 hours (Big screen, and that Quad-Core processor), I also picked up a 6 cell because I don’t need the bulkiness while using it at home.

Now I hope the price for SSD drives will drop soon…

I got Windows 7 already, have you?

Windows 7 Ultimate

I rec’d a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate by attending the “New Efficiency” conference last week. I’m planning to install it on my new laptop. As much as I love to have it’s 64bit version, the one I got is 32bit. I’m gonna wait till someone releases the 64bit ISO and activate it with my key.

Microsoft did a great job on this release, it is the best version of Windows I’ve ever used. During the conference, I’ve learned a lot of new features, though they have to be implemented on the Server 2008 and IPV6 architecture. A lot of works to be done in the coming years for the IT team!

Disable the “Disconnect” button

When a user connects to Windows XP desktops through Terminal Service {RDP, Citrix Xen}. By default, they are able to disconnect from the desktop. By disconnect, the terminal session remains open on the terminal host. This issue is driving me nuts at work, because when users try to connect again, Xen DDC doesn’t seem to deliver their last (opened) session. Instead, it trys to give them a new one.

Terminal Services Disconnect Button

It makes me want to cry, because we’ve specifically told users to log off instead of disconnect.

Sure, there are a few group policies you can modify to kill disconnected sessions. But I want to let users know, I don’t want them to disconnect! Period…

Disable the Disconnect button should do it, this policy is under Administrative Template > Windows Component > Terminal Services. It can be applied in the Group Policy on the VHD itself, or through the GPO on your domain controller. Enough said… I hate id10t users.

Simple Ajax Example

The Javascript:


The HTML Form :

word:

The server side script (simple-ajax-example.cgi) :

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use CGI;

$query = new CGI;

$secretword = $query->param('w');

$remotehost = $query->remote_host();

print $query->header;

print "

The secret word is $secretword and your IP is $remotehost.
