User Profiles - Relocate to another Partition or Disk How to Relocate User Profiles to another Partition or Disk in Windows 8 InformationThe method described in this tutorial allows relocating user profiles and folders already while installing Windows 8, before any user accounts are created, as well as after installation on an already installed system.The advantage of this method is that it changes some internal Windows 8 environment variables, being a “Do it once and forget” procedure. Changing the variables takes care of all existing and future user profiles, locating them when created to selected drive or partition. The method is fail proof and reversible.When Windows 8 is installed, 5 or 6 system folders are created depending on chosen bit-version:PerfLogs (Performance Logs), where Windows stores performance and reliability logsProgram Files, where applications and software are installed.
boxee: the open, connected, social media center for mac os x and linux A tale of a support team – when Scrum leads to Kanban – Episode 2 – Mission Impossible « Control Your Chaos So the first thing we needed to do is to break that horrifying atmosphere. A manager sticking his nose into everything, knowledge transfer, to another company, organizational havoc, it all has taken its toll on the people. So I did something unexpected – I brought balloons into one of their meetings. Just plain, colorful balloons. And I kept the manager outside the door, he wasn’t allowed to enter. At first everyone looked at those balloons, some even grabbed a couple. This was the turning point. Changes in the technical elements were greater than ever. But most important is that they were setting their own goals. So what made the change possible? Breaking the lethargic atmosphere. You may not believe, but 4 months later this team got rid of the bug queue completely. Introducing new people got easier as well – due to tutorials and warning signs in the code, they at least didn’t mess up things. Their Definition Of Done evolved. Let’s sum up. Technology: as complex as it can be. Like this:
Digital Home A hands-on look at the Splashtop instant-on Linux environment Splashtop does not attempt to provide the user with a full computing environment -- DeviceVM advertises usage scenarios like getting up in the morning and checking for urgent mail within seconds, not minutes. If you are in the habit of leaving your PC on overnight just to speed up how quickly you can get online in the morning, the company suggests, Splashtop can get you online just as fast, but consume no electricity overnight. The original release of Splashtop debuted in Asus P5E3 motherboards, and featured a Web browser and Skype VoIP client as its only client applications. Testing, 1, 2, 9 ... To take a look at this upcoming revision of Splashtop, we borrowed an Asus F8Sa notebook, featuring an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, 802.11a/g/n wireless and wired Ethernet, a built-in, rotating 1.3 megapixel webcam, 14.1-inch screen, and a 160GB hard drive. Since its previous releases, Splashtop has accumulated considerably more apps. As advertised, Splashtop boots up in seconds.
Modding the Acer Revo The Acer Revo - tiny, low power, pretty cheap and still can play full HD video. At a recent press launch in London we confirmed that Acer's upcoming Revo, which is based on Nvidia's Ion platform, should be easily upgradable. How did we confirm this exactly? The Revo "Nettop" is based on Intel Atom technology, but combines it with an Nvidia 9400M MCP instead of the usual, more limited Intel 945GC and ICH7 chipset. While a little short changed, we expect this inexpensive model will be the perfect base for a media centre - drop on the latest XBMC with Nvidia' most recent 182.xx linux drivers and you should get GPU acceleration to take advantage of the more powerful 9400M GPU for all HD media. The two other models come with 2GB of memory and a much larger 160GB hard drive, as well as the option for a Wiimote-like wireless gaming "mouse". What is neat is that Acer ships the VESA mount in the box too so you can easily strap it to the back of your TFT. Now - upgradability. Click to enlarge
