Updating an old laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10

23 Jun, 2016

Yesterday i start to format my old Samsung RF511 laptop. I restore the Windows 7 from Samsung recovery utility. Windows 7 was outdated and i try to update to Windows 10. The update hangs on 99% . I leave the laptop turned on overnight and this morning it was on 99%. I google a bit and found some solutions for the problem like disable antivirus, administrator permissions etc. I start the process again, recovery from Samsung utility, but this time i start the Windows update to get some updates for Windows 7. It was a good decision but with a big headache :-). Windows update looks for updates forever and not stop to search. The solution for this problem was WSUS Offline(http://www.wsusoffl

Liberty and Eclipse: Installing the development environment

27 May, 2016

Tutorial from Developerworks(https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/2016/05/24/liberty-and-eclipse-installing-dev-environment-p9/?CT=ISM0056) "WebSphere Liberty is the next generation application server. Liberty and Eclipse make a great local development environment for developing Java EE applications(https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/2016/05/17/liberty-and-eclipse-are-great-java-ee-dev-environment-p8/). To develop Java EE applications to deploy to Liberty, you’re going to need a Liberty development environment. You’ll also need an integrated development environment (IDE) for editing your code. While any Java EE IDE will work, the Eclipse IDE is one of the best, if for no other reason than becau

From Lotus KB to the New IBM Knowledge Center

26 May, 2016

Since 1997 i work with Notes/Domino. In that time i receive every quarter a set of CD's with the Lotus KB on it. Things have changedfor the better, LNN was launched and i was able to replicate the LotusKB on daily basis, no more CD's, no more delays. I start to work with WebSphere, Portal and other IBM products in 2005 and the support is only from "google" and the software manuals were called Infocenters. IBM changed again, in my opinion, not for the best, several manuals are only on wikis. A few years ago IBM changed again to the Knowledge Center. I think it is a better version of the old Infocenter. Today i was reading some iformation about Watson and a alert show a message "On May

Google plans to start blocking Flash in Chrome this year

16 May, 2016

Flash's death has been slow and painful, and now Google is planning to deal it another blow. Google has detailed plans to start blocking most Flash content with Chrome, with the change targeted toward the end of this year. Under its current vision, nearly every website would have Flash content blocked by default. Visitors would still be able to enable Flash content on a site-by-site basis, but they would have to specifically choose to do so. Chrome would display a prompt offering to enable Flash; if chosen, Chrome would remember to run Flash on that site for all future visits. See the full article here(http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/15/11679394/chrome-to-block-flash-later-2016)
