AtA's good friend and productivity guru, Daniel Pataki over at hack your day posted an article on making a web application into a standalone app.

Yes now you can have a browser independent program that normally requires a distracting browser window to run. We are talking about your Google Docs, Analytics or… Well, anything actually.

You see we DO get easily distracted and run off on side quests from whatever we were doing (2 hours of reading and replying to email anyone - DAILY?? )

This seems like a great place for us to run our gMai, gCall or anything else we don't want to get distracted from. Web links from the same domain are opened in prism - anything else goes to your default browser - dig?Now you have a shortcut on your desktop that can open directly to your web shortcut.

From Prism's website:

Personal computing is currently in a state of transition. While traditionally users have interacted mostly with desktop applications, more and more of them are using web applications. But the latter often fit awkwardly into the document-centric interface of web browsers. And they are surrounded with controls–like back and forward buttons and a location bar–that have nothing to do with interacting with the application itself.

Can you think of some good ways to make use of this? Would this make you more productive or do you feel it would be strange? [Prism Download]

VundoFix - Fixes or Fails?



 
 

Sent to you by FRANCISCO via Google Reader:

 
 

via Ask The Admin by Karl L. Gechlik | AskTheAdmin.com on 12/3/08

There will always be a Vundo epidemic lurking in the midst as long as there is Java. Basically, what keeps getting people bits and pieces and various version of the Vundo virus, is outdated Java. What it does, is start up Internet Explorer, and uses it to pop up little windows and adds on your desktop; this eats memory, and causes a vast number of other operating issues. The old versions pile up fast, you'd be surprised how fast, actually. Checking is pretty easy. For Windows users:

Start-;Control Panel-;Add Or Remove Programs

Wait for the list to populate with all the various junk you have. The majority of the time, you'll see more than one version of Java, and a good 30% of the time, you might even see over five different versions.

A good way to prevent Vundo is to keep only one version in there. So go ahead and get rid of everything but the latest version of Java.

If you have Vundo, or a version, or generic attempt at Vundo, or suspect that you do, you'll need to do a lot more. First, download the free version of SuperAntiSpyware, then go ahead and run it, to see what's in there. Use it to do a superficial scrub, after it's finished. If Vundo was located, this more than likely won't get everything.

Next, fetch VundoFix, it's free. Restart in Safe Mode, and run VundoFix. Allow it to do its job, and then start back up in normal mode. Just to be sure, allow your computer to fully boot up, then wait about twenty minutes. Run VundoFix again, and see if it catches anything. If not, then you're clear! VundoFix is free, and the best program I've come across that fixes Vundo; however, running the free version of SuperAntiSpyware works wonders for cleaning out spyware, and whatever else might be lingering in your system.

Using Virtual Server 2005 to run a virtual machine on Windows Home Server



 
 

Sent to you by FRANCISCO via Google Reader:

 
 

via Ask The Admin by JeffAlexander on 12/4/08

As you might have read on AtA, Windows Home Server (WHS) is Awesome.

WHS backs up all the machines on my network for me, gives me a central location to store all my files (MP3's, Photo's, etc) with redundancy in case a drive fails, gives me remote access to my files, and is able to do so much more…

But it can't do everything. The OS partition for WHS is small and to get your application to start after WHS boots you need to either log on to the server and start it or get it to run as a service. Neither of which is a perfect solution if you want to do something automatically.

For example, I wanted to download podcasts to my podcast folder on my WHS. I could have just installed HappyFish, my current rss aggregator, to the WHS and let it do the work but if the server rebooted I wouldn't always know I needed to remote in to the WHS and re-launch HappyFish, and I had other programs I wanted to run as well. What to do?

As it turns out WHS is based on the Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 supports Virtual Server 2005, therefore Windows Virtual Server 2005 will run on Windows Home Server. Whew, type 'Windows' much…

Using Windows Virtual PC on a local machine, I created a virtual Windows XP Machine and did all the current Windows Updates and installed HappyFish. Doing this locally was easier for me since I installed the OS using my local DVD drive and my local machine has a faster processor than my WHS but you can potentially install from within VS2005.

Next you will need to:

  • Install VS2005 on your Windows Home Server. I kept the suggested port of 1024
  • Create share for virtual machines on your Windows Home Server ( ex. \\whs\virtualMachines ) and copy the virtual image files to a folder there.
  • Launch your browser (Only IE supports running the virutal images from the browser) and head over to the Virtual Server web interface. http://whs:1024 for me.
  • Next add your new virtual machine under Virtual Machines by clicking Add and supply the path to your share with the virtual machine image you created. \\whs\VirtualMachineImages\WindowsXPPro\WinXP.vmc for me.Add Virtual Machine
  • Now you can configure the virtual machine by choosing Configure under Virtual Machines and selecting the virtual machine. Since the server will need to be restarted occasionally I decided to have the virtual machine always automatically start when the server starts and save state and keep undo disks on shut down. These settings are under 'General Properties'. To automatically start the virtual machine you need to supply user credentials for an account on the WHS that will have access to the virtual machine files. I chose to use the administrator account.Configure Virtual Machine
  • Next you need to add a network. Under 'Network Adapters' choose the External Network with the name of the adapter in the Windows Home Server. This will give your virtual machine a virtual network adapter and connect it to your LAN through the physical adapter in the WHS.
  • I Setup my virtual machine to set it's own IP Statically. Depending on your LAN setup and how you hand out IP's you may need to make some changes to get your new virtual machine an IP.

You will see that VS2005 warns that SSL security is not enabled. As long as you are not opening up your VS2005 ports to the outside you can ignore this warning as the only unencrypted data is staying within your LAN.

Depending on how you plan to manage your virtual machines you may not need to open up these ports. Since my image is an XP Pro image I turned on Remote Access and I can use Remote Desktop Connection to gain access to the virtual machine. I also installed the connector software ( but turned off backups  ) and can use the WHS login page to remote to this machine from anywhere just like any other machine on my LAN via the WHS web front end.

If I need to access the VS2005 page from the outside I can Remote to any machine and use a browser from that machine.

After this little bit of work you now have a machine on your LAN with access to your WHS shares that is on all the time. It's even green since you are utilizing a machine that is on all the time already without having to to add another machine with a power supply .

HP has sent us a sneak peak as to what is coming up for next year. Stay tuned for the exciting details over the next few weeks. And if you have any WHS work-a-rounds or hacks… WE WANT TO KNOW! That is what the comments are for.
