Some people have problem with remembering the OSI-layers, for those who can not memorise them i have this small trick i learned once back in college.
Just keep in mind that all people seem to need data processing.
Where each word corresponds with one of the layers of the OSI model below.
OSI Layers
So all corresponds with Application, people with Presentation etc.
I hope it will help you as it did for me!
While i was looking for some books for my Personal Education Program i found that CiscoPress and Pearson IT Certifications had each a useful eBook Deal of the Day.
With CiscoPress i bought the book Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Part 1 (CIPT1) Foundation Learning Guide for only $ 9.99. And at the Pearson IT Certification website i bought Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN) Foundation Learning Guide
.
The first book is for my CCDA track, the second for the CCNP Voice track that i pursue.
Last week i had a friend of me who insisted on keeping his pc with Windows XP instead of buying a newer one. After a fresh installation and installing of all updates and additional software he got stuck with the new and ‘improved’ Windows (Desktop) Search.
He said, everytime i do a search the bloody tools tells me it can’t find a file because it is just not looking where i want it to look. Can i disable it?
Ofcourse, just uninstall the update and it should be gone. Guess what?! It didn’t.
So after doing a bit of research i found out that you can just unregister this one dll that hooks up on your Windows Search in the registry, and it should give you back the original Windows Search.
Now how will you do that? Follow the steps below (on your own risk!)
This should tell you that the dynamic library is now unregistered. Hit the search and note the difference!
As i wrote earlier on my blog (and twitter) i would get back to this subject.
The task is quite simple. You have a Microsoft Excel sheet with a list of visits you did in a year. You did register each customer, and it’s zipcode, and complete address. Now your boss (or his secretary) asks you to deliver a sheet with kilometers travelled for your visits.
One can take a whole day (or more) to look them up with Google Maps, or you can use the data that you already have and automate this process with the Google Api’s. Continue reading
How dirty can a pc become on the inside?
Dennis Ritchie?! Who is Dennis Ritchie? Will be the first tought of many.
Dennis Ritchie is the inventor of the computer programming language C. In my eyes he has done even more work for the world than Steve Jobs did. (Sure he had a good eye for how things should look.)
Next to his job for creating the programming language C he was also known as one of the key-developers for UNIX. From those two positions he has had quite some influence on how todays Operating Systems look like and function.

Since yesterday it seemed that there occured some errors. Most likely when you tried to login or post a comment. This was due to the OAuth library included with several plugins and all tried to declare the same classes and functions. For now this is solved by adding a class_exist check in the library.
I will lookup the OAuth project and check how we can incorporate these suggestions in to the library.
Old:
class OAuthConsumer {
public $key;
public $secret;
function __construct($key, $secret) {
$this->key = $key;
$this->secret = $secret;
}
function __toString() {
return "OAuthConsumer[key=$this->key,secret=$this->secret]";
}
}
New:
if (!class_exists("OAuthConsumer", false)) {
class OAuthConsumer {
public $key;
public $secret;
function __construct($key, $secret) {
$this->key = $key;
$this->secret = $secret;
}
function __toString() {
return "OAuthConsumer[key=$this->key,secret=$this->secret]";
}
}
}
Note lines 1 and 15.
Yesterday the ‘Deal of the Day’ was the book Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (UCCE) by Gary Ford.
For just a $ 9.99 you can buy the PDF and EPUB versions of interesting books. Every day at 7.01 AM GMT a new deal is published at www.ciscopress.com/deals
Today’s book is: Cisco Unity Connection by David Schulz
I have been busy setting my goals for 2012 and 2013.
What do i want to achieve within my learning time. Without goals and targets you can’t meassure your progress.
Well the current program can be found at Extending my skills. it looks like heavy, but as you will see not everything as a due date yet.
Giving a Media Mastermind keynote session, Lang reiterated Miramax’s strategy of enabling customers to access content anytime and anywhere across multiple platforms, from physical discs, to streaming services, to ultimately buying content in a digital cloud. Lang claimed that ultimately Miramax will load over 300 of its library of 700 titles—including Pulp Fiction, Chicago and Shakespeare In Love—each month for OTT service users.
“We believe that cross-platform is key to growing the digital transactions business,” Lang told his audience in Cannes. “We believe that all [the] different platforms can be complementary and co-exist together.”
