File System Directory Statistics!? WinDirStat is cool!

Who’d want that?!

Well, apparently I do, and so do many others!

WinDirStat is the “f0 shizzle” as though it were. Or maybe that’s just what the kids are saying!

This thing is absolutely cool! An Excellent way to get a real idea of how your data is allocated and equally allow you to manage that data once it is presented.

Best of all, instead of paying for a product which does something, or even if you’re just trying to profile your FileServers and ask the question of “How many AVI’s do I really have stored across this entire server” Bam, it’s all there for you! Also a good way to go, “Hmm, why is this persons home directory eating up a chunk of my drive!”

So, if you like the idea of free visual representations and access of your data structure without paying for some random third party product for it! Go get it here!

http://windirstat.sourceforge.net/

A list of uses of this product are as follows

  • See if the content on your file servers is work related (Lots of XLS, DOC, PPT good, lots of MP3, AVI and RAR bad!) – from a business sense. :)
  • Easily see who has the largest home directories and respectively if the data contained within it is valid to business requirements.
  • See if there is a buildup of non-essentials or data which should be moved off elsewhere (TMP, OST, PST, ISO)

Any other good suggestions for its uses would be great!

Treo Update from Verizon is released again!

Well, in a previous update I gave you a workaround to get the update Verizon Palm/Treo release the Treo 700W Updater 1.10 however they’ve finally re-released it again.

The difference between the version they released before and this one is minor at best. The ROM which gets applied is the same rom (Compared by the filesize and MD5 hash) So if you applied the prior update, you should be fine now and if not, you can go download the update fresh and get it down again and install it.

“Failed to read the allow and block list data” in Live Communication Server

When you experience this error message while trying to “Edit allow and block list” of a user, the solution is in the DNS.

To correct this issue, simply create an ‘A’ record for the LCSPool to have an IP Matching the LCS Server’s IP Address.

Flush the cache, and then you should be able to edit the block list data, and the clients should then be able to communicate properly.
