ITProffs.se pubträff på Monks Café

By Fredrik Wall

I går kväll var jag på en ITProffs.se pubträff på Monks Café
på Wallingatan här i Stockholm.

Måste säga att personalen på Monks är bäst.
Vi hade bokat 10 stycken via mail, men den bokningen
hade inte nått fram till wallingatan. Ändå var det inga
problem att fixa fram ett långbord för 12 stycken.

Sammanlagt vart vi 16 stycken!

God mat, god öl och trevligt sällskap!

De öppnade till och med upp två tappar med amerikanskt öl
så att vi fick testa. Annars så kommer de amerikanska fatölen
igång lite senare under deras amerikanska ölperiod.

 

Working with some web again

By Fredrik Wall

Since I switch to work as an it consultant again
I have been working most with it support.

But today and yesterday I have been
working with my companies web.

I have been doing some upgrading of Joomla and
working with the content. The new content will be
online soon.

It have been nice to do some web work again

Next step will be to set up my lab server with
server 2008 R2 RTM with CA and do the last on
some PKI tools!

Next week is an vacation week, YES!
First vacation week since January.

 

New wireless router

By Fredrik Wall

I got a new (used) wireless router yesterday from my friend DXter.
Thanks my friend for the nice switch.

Now I got a Linksys WRT610N with DD-WRT firmware.
And my broadband phone works nice again!

 

Med bild i ComputerSweden

By Fredrik Wall

I dagens ComputerSweden finns jag med på bild.
Det är iof en liten bild och det är under
sektionen “På nytt jobb” på sidan 19.

 

Fredrik Wall har anställts som
senior it-konsult på Riverpoint.
Han kommer närmast från TrueSec.

 

 

 

Skoj att vara med i tidningen!

Många har undrat varför jag valde att sluta på
TrueSec och börja på Riverpoint.

Dragningskraften till att vara konsult och hålla på
med automatiseringar och jobba med kunder igen
var för stor.

Saknar redan kompisarna på TrueSec,
men har fått nya kompisar på Riverpoint.

Här kommer jag att jobba med säkerhet,
automatiseringar (script, deployment, processer),
virtualisering, Servrar m.m

Ta gärna en titt på Riverpoints hemsida,

Windows 7 + Samsung R610 = True

By Fredrik Wall

YES!

I did fix one of my bigger problems

The problems:

1. Could not update the bios on my new laptop
   on Windows Vista 64-Bit and on Windows 7 64-Bit
2. When I installed Windows 7 on my new Samsung
   R610 laptop I got several problems.

   The biggest problem was that the standard VGA
   graphic driver was the only driver that worked.
   And the NVidia driver crashed my computer.

How-To and the solution:

1. I installed Windows Vista 32-Bit and did the bios
   update from the Samsung support page.
2. After the bios update I installed a fresh copy of
   Windows 7.

   Then downloaded and installed the newest driver on NVidias download page.
   Before any updates from Microsoft!

 

Now I got great resolutions and I can use my external screen.
Better than with Windows Vista!
After some extra job, but that’s okay

Reinstallation of Windows 7 RTM

By Fredrik Wall

With my fresh bios update I hope that the NVidia driver for my laptop will work and not crash my computer again

The HDMI sound driver did work but not the graphics driver and both are from NVidia.

I saw something about the driver and Dell computers and Bios updates, so I hope that with a upgrade on the bios on my Samsung It will work too. This will be 1-2 hour of work

Samsung R610 + update bios

By Fredrik Wall

I have been trying to update the bios on my new Samsung R610 Laptop for a while with no good result.

I have been trying with Vista 64-Bit and Win 7 RTM 64-Bit.

And now I uninstalled my Windows 7 64-bit and installed Vista 32-bit and now It went well! Nice and not nice!

If I purshace Windows Vista or Windows 7 64-bit in a store and then
as I did make a fresh install of the operating system.
And then I need to download a trial of Windows Vista 32-bit and wipe my new OS install before I can upgrade the bios and install a 64-bit OS again

This is an 64-bit Office computer and needs an 32-bit Operating System to be bios updated…
…I say no more…

How do I get into the technical preview of Office 2010?

By Fredrik Wall

I thought that I will get into the Office 2010 official test, but, no!
That’s pretty sad!

Anyone knows what to do to get into It?

Ping-Status function

By Fredrik Wall

I use this function when I’m writing scripts that will
take information from Servers and Clients when
they are on the network.

function Ping-Status {
