New job - Vizioncore
Posted by James Kahn on May 21, 2008 in life
Well, I had my last day at Clariti/S Central on Friday. Finished up with farewell drinks and a BBQ, in true Clariti style. In a couple of days I start my new job - Australia/NZ Systems Engineer for Vizioncore. Should be a lot of fun. Vizioncore have some great products for virtualised environments.
Don’t be surprised if my blog gets Vizioncored all of a sudden!
Any tools for local PC service monitoring?
Posted by James Kahn on May 10, 2008 in tech
I’ve got an HP multifunction printer (Photosmart 3310), with terrible drivers. It works fine except for one issue - periodically the corresponding services on my PC spin up to 100% CPU, and stay there until I restart the service or reboot my PC. If this happens when I’m not plugged into power it really eats the battery on my laptop.
Does anyone know of a tool I could use that monitors Windows services and restarts a service if, say, it’s been at 100% CPU for a minute?

I’ve recently become a big fan of the Getting Things Done methodology (GTD for short). Simon Guest has a great writeup on how to implement GTD with Outlook 2007.
