Intro At Infoxchange we use XenServer as our Virtualisation of choice. There are many reasons for this including: Open Source. Offers greater performance than VMware. Affordability (it’s free unless you purchase support). Proven backend Xen is very reliable. Reliable cross-host migrations of VMs. The XenCentre client, (although having to run in a Windows VM) is quick and simple to use. Upgrades and patches have proven to be more reliable..

Further to my earlier post on XenServer storage performance with regards to directly attaching storage from the host, I have been analysing the performance of various SSD storage options. I have attached a HP DS2220sb storage blade to an existing server blade and compared performance with 4 and 6 SSD RAID-10 to our existing iSCSI SANs. While the P420i RAID controller in the DS2220sb is clearly saturated and unable to provide throughput ..

Introduction HackerEarth uses django framework at its heart. We use two third party django packages for the purpose of user authentication and session management: django-allauth : Provides pre-built modules for email-based as well as all popular social authentication mechanisms. django-redis-sessions : Allows storage of user session data in redis (a memory based data store that writes on disk) for fast retrieval. We used MySQL earlier ....

Rust Sydney had its first event last Monday! The first Rust gathering I know of in Sydney, in Australia, or in the whole southern hemisphere. I had fun meeting all sorts of people interested in Rust: some who’d dived in deep already, some who’d only recently started playing with it, and some who’d been following for a while but had unfortunately not got time to actually use it (hopefully soon!). Thanks to everyone who came and, to ....

Last Saturday we had the Short North gallery hop . Hundreds of people came through our gallery to see art. The guys helped me set up the Oculus and a projector on the wall. Sometimes I had to go out and pull people in, but most of the time, there was a line. My favorite customer by far was this kid: He jumped right in and played like a pro. The mother (recording video) was super supportive and excited.

Frequently while coding I need to know the internal and external IP address of my development machine. For example, when your machine is serving a website from a locally running web server, the internal IP address can be used to test the site from a smartphone browser connected to the same network. Likewise, the external IP address is useful when you want to make a local web server publicly accessible or when you need to whitelist your IP a..
