I think I got the server running ok now.
I’ve been fiddling about quite alot and unfortunately don’t know which one action that fixed the problem. If I do figure it out, I will post it here.
Site performance should be a bit better now.
Sluggish performance on teknoglot
I, as well as others, have noticed some slow performance from my blog lately and I just wanted to let you know that the root cause have been identified as a bug in on of the crypto libs on the server.
I haven’t found a working solution yet but are trying to keep an eye on the site regularly to be able to bounce the problematic services when they start to act up.
Hopefully there will be a fix available soon.
Sorry for any inconvenience in the meantime.
Move complete, welcome to teknoglot.se!
Oh my God, I actually moved my blog for real. I think I’ve been putting this upp for nearly half a year now and even though I actually went and bought a “real” domain-name for it.
But now it’d done. The server is now self-hosted and self-maintained. Now, that obviously gives me a bit more to do, but on the other hand. I can fix any problems myself and not have to create tickets and hope someone responding to them knows what they’re talking about.
The design is mostly borrowed, for now, but it works and I hope I did all the HTACCESS rules on the old server correct so that they forward all the old links to the same post on the new one.
So, welcome!
I’m moving (finally)
If you’re seeing this, the move went OK. 
Anyway, I have tried to make sure that all the links, images and urls are still intact and that people are automatically redirected to the correct address on the new site too. I think I got it right, but who knows?
Still fiddling with the themes thought.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
ps. Post from the old site is a jump ahead.
Let’s split!
Now would you look at that.
Since my old site, Tranquillity.se, got messy and unfocused I have now started a new one. That’s right, you’re looking at it.
Instead of blogging about mostly anything like I did before I have decided to split it into Three sites. This one for the Technical stuff, some other site I haven’t set up yet, and a personal blogg for the… personal blogging… stuff.
When time gives, I will import the old tech-related posts from Tranquillity.se into this site but for now. Nothing yet so far.
Have a nice day!
Quest Software acquires eXc and VizionCore
Yes, I am officially slow. But never mind.
Quest Software is a rather nice software developer with some interesting products for a wide range of Microsoft systems — like Site Administrator and Recovery Manager for SharePoint — but also database and application servers like SAP and Oracle E-business.
I have lately been working with some of their MOSS-related products that, neglecting the somewhat goofy and unspecific manuals, are stable and well worth taking a look at.
Quite recently they have acquired two other companies also worth paying attention to as they, too, tend to deliver products that ease things up. eXc does it’s thing in the Microsoft SCOM/MOM arena while VizionCore dances with virtualization techniques. At least, that’s where I’ve come across them both.
How will this affect me, then?
Not very much it would seem. Here’s what VizionCore says about their part:
“The completion of this acquisition signals another major step in Vizioncore’s evolution and growth in the virtualization market,” said David Bieneman, CEO of VizionCore. “While maintaining the autonomy that has made us successful, we will also be able to leverage technologies developed by and acquired by Quest, such as Invirtus and Provision Networks, to enhance and expand the feature sets of VizionCore products. This is very positive news for virtualization customers who will enjoy a richer and robust product set that will help them achieve greater levels of ROI from their investments in virtualization platforms.”
In my head, this means that VizionCore will still be VizionCore but with, perhaps, tighter integration with Invirtus. Invirtus was, by the way, a “Strategic Partner” to VizionCore even before the acquisition.
eXc then? Well. It is not clearly stated in the press-release as far as I can tell. We can only hope that they will make the decision to rebuild their not-even-web1.0 excuse for a website. And what the hell is up with that logo? Fortunately for us, their design skills — or lack thereof — does not reflect their programming skills. But still… no sane man or woman uses Comic Sans in a logo. Not even jokingly. Actually, using Comic Sans at all should be considered an act of felony.
