Privacy and the liberty to express yourself on LinkedIn

Unaware that LinkedIn has such a strong filtering policy that it does not allow me posting a completely innocent post on a Chinese extreme photography website I tried to post the following: "As an Mpx lover I was suprised to find out that the M from Million is now replaced by the B from Billion. This picture is 24 Bpx! Yes you read this well, 24 billion pixels. Searching on the picture I stumbled on a fellow Nikon lover. If you want to search for him yourself you can find him here: http://www.bigpixel.cn/t/5834170785f26b37002af46a " In my eyes nothing is wrong with this post, but LinkedIn considers it as offending. I changed the lover words, but I could not post it. Even taking a picture and post it will not let this pass: Or my critical post on LinkedIn crazy posting policy: it will not pass and I cannot post it. The technology LinkedIn shows here is an example what to expect in the near future. Newspapers will have a unified re...

Windows Server 2016 with ... XBox extensions !!!

Microsoft must have been thinking that the live of a Windows administrator gets so boring that they need a distraction and they have integrated the XBox Live extensions standard in Windows Server 2016. No kidding: take a look. I did not select it as a feature and it is there. As you can see the XBox Live service is started automatically even in mode manual (see error log). To my opinion these 3 XBox Live services should never be available on a server. Unless the server is part of the XBox Live platform of cause but honestly I don't think that Microsoft will allow that. Every IT manager with a serious Windows production environment would fire any administrator playing XBox Live on the production servers. So though it might be tempting don't do it Windows administrator. It is a trap! :-)

Windows Storage Spaces and SQL Server: a ride to super performance

This post is based on the tests I did to see if storage spaces in Windows 2012R2 can serve as a platform for our Fast Track environments. When Microsoft developed the Fast Track Data Warehouse architecture, which was at first very limited in hardware choice and for version SQL Server 2012 became a reference guide, Storage Spaces as a functionality in Windows did not exist.That has changed with the release of Windows 2012 and later on with version 2012R2 and soon 2016. Why is Storage Spaces as a storage technology so interesting for SQL Server? Anyone who is a pro in SQL Server knows that parallelism - adding more disks - can greatly improve performance. Adding an hard disk for the tempdb and another one for the LOG files will do the job if the hard disks perform sufficiently (that might be another issue!). To my opinion (and also to others) SQL Server does not do a great job in using the available hardware. Before and after the installation it is mandatory to tune a SQL Se...
