Link Dump 5/19/12

bunchc — Sat, 19 May 2012 21:08:12 +0000

It’s time for yet another round of ‘close ALL the tabs’. Made even better this time by some random mixup by which some apps open links in FireFox tabs, others in Chrome. Instead of fixing it, it makes for a nice organization system.

http://professionalvmware.com/2009/10/powercli-script-of-the-week-set-keydelay-ps1/ – On the Twitters, someone opined that all vApps/ovf/ova’s should come with a keydelay set by default. Failing that, use this.

Pano Logic – Demo Unit Unboxing

bunchc — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:16:00 +0000

Disclaimer: I met Pano at VMworld 2009 and asked to do a write up of their stuff. From there followed some back and forth with their support group, x64 and Win 7 support and the like. Things went silent for a bit. Got a contact from them recently when I tweeted regarding Pano and PCoIP support. What happened next, was a few email exchanges, and then well, a box showed up at the house:

Micro USB to DVI for 2nd monitor goodness as well as a USB key:

Getting started guide:

Not one, but 4 demo Pano units:

Looking good in matte black:

Back of the unit:

On top row (left to right): Lock port, audio, second video, 2x USB, 1x Ethernet
Bottom row (left to right): 5v Power, DVI, 2x USB

Over the next weeks I’ll be putting the unit through it’s paces in my Home Lab with VMware View. We’ll see what these little guys can do.
