Auto Starting Virtual Server

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 09:14:47 GMT

�

If you want to specify that a virtual server starts up automatically when the host server starts up:

1) On host server, browse to "C:\Users\Public\Documents"
2) Right click "Shared Virtual Machines", select Properties
3) Browse to security tab, add yourself as having full control over this folder
4) Repeat steps 2-3 for "Shared Virtual Networks"
5) In Virtual Server web interface, shut down the virtual machine you wish to auto-start
6) Navigate to Edit Configuration -> General Properties
7) Check "Run virtual machine under the following user account"
8) Enter the credentials from step 3
9) Select desired startup action and delay, then start virtual machine.

Now when your host machine reboots, your virtual machines will start up automatically.� Step 4 is very important as my wasted morning can attest to.

Happy New Year For EnGraph!

It's been a while since I have posted, but Tim and I are in Fayetteville, AR at Razorback Transit. Where we just installed our latest version of ParaPlan.

Shown above are Jay and Barrett using ParaPlan 4.0.

On another note, EnGraph Software is now solely owned by myself and Tim. He has assumed the roles of CEO/CTO/CFO, whereas I have assumed the role of sales, marketing, support and business development. We are currently overloaded and looking for help on the software development front. For more information, please read Tim's post here:

My first race win

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:11:24 GMT

�

Last weekend I ran the Shoreline Shuffle trail 5K.� It was my first trail race and also my first first place finish.� As a bonus, I also broke 20 minutes, which I didn't think was possible for me on a trail run.� I've posted a full race report (with way too many pics) on my running blog.

Get notified via email of twitter mentions

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:44:54 GMT

TwitApps was a great tool, it would email you when somebody @mentioned you on twitter.� But, alas, they are shutting down and leaving what I think is a huge hole.

So I built my own service that does the exact same thing.

To use the service, visit MentionNotifier, and subscribe to your @mentions.� To get notified of updates, follow @MentionNotifier or @timhibbard on twitter.

Here are some of the FAQ's:

Q:� What is this?
A:� It is a service to notify you by email when somebody has mentioned you in a tweet.

Q:� Who do the emails come from?
A:� MentionNotifier@gmail.com

Q:� How quickly will I be notified of a new tweet?
A:� Currently, it checks every minute.

Q:� How does it work?
A:� It uses the search API of twitter to check for your twitter username.

Q:� Isn't that just a glorified RSS reader?
A:� Yes.

Q:� Will it work with hashtags?
A:� Yes.� Put in the search string you want to be notified on (#KUbball) and the email address to send new tweets to.

Q:� Will I receive multiple emails if I get multiple mentions?
A:� It will group the mentions into a single email each checking cycle.

Q:� Will it work if I get a mention from somebody that protects their tweets?
A:� No, because protected tweets are not part of the public timeline.

EnGraph just installed its first deviated fixed route and curb-to-curb combined ParaPlan solution! I have learned a ton here this week in Sierra Vista, AZ and how they run their unique transit operation.

I'd like to thank Rex, Nacho, Steve and Helen for a great install/update!

The Ole Village Greens Golf Course

kylejarcher@gmail.com (Kyle J. Archer) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:05:02 GMT

Peez took me out to one of our old college favorites 2 weekends ago. The course is called THE VILLAGE GREENS and it resides in lovely Ozawkie, KS near Perry Lake. We played this course quite a bit in our later days in college because it was cheap and fun. All we had was Alvamar when we were at KU and she's a little pricey for college kids. Anyway, it was humid and hot but good times. After, we stopped in Oskaloosa to watch the final round of the PGA at some local 'downtown' bar called Angie's?

Finally able to get rid of Outlook

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:49:55 GMT

I use Gmail for my personal email, and as an archive for my EnGraph email, but haven't been able to use it as my main email client as it appends a "On Behalf of" to messages sent from Gmail using a non-gmail address.

Google has recently released an update to Gmail allowing you to use an SMTP server of your choosing, which removes the "On Behalf Of".

Now I can email my clients from Gmail and they don't know the difference!

ParaPlan Install at Transpo in South Bend

kylejarcher@gmail.com (Kyle J. Archer) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 12:23:05 GMT

I spent 7 days in South Bend implementing ParaPlan Pro at Transpo. Moving into a new software package is always a challenge, but we all worked many long hours to make it work! I made many great friends when I was there...especially Reece and Jeannette who worked late into the evening with me setting up their system. Here are some pics from my trip...

Touchdown Jesus on campus at Notre Dame. Nice

Since my Dell D610 is three years old, I decided it was time for a new lappy.� I finally decided on a E6400 from Dell.

Finally a machine that can actually run Vista.� Here is my score:

So far I love it.� I can have VS 2008 plus a couple virtual machines open and it doesn't even blink.
