What Are You Doing Right Now
-
XO found that PVHVM is performing better for them than plain PV (at least for web servers in their tests)
-
I just right now watched a movie called my name.

Xen has been claiming this for a little while, at least for certain workloads, but they have said it is because they have new hardware acceleration support that is only implemented on the HVM platform. They are working on getting the same acceleration into the PV product as well which should bring the PV side back in front of HVM again. It's not that the PV isn't always faster than FV, it is that they've done things on one and not the other.

Watching Hot in Cleveland on Hulu. One of my favourite sitcoms.

Ah ok. Ya I saw on their site they said they thought PVH was the "sweet spot" but I didn't see the other explanation.

Just did a live disk migration with XO from an NFS server to local storage. Worked perfectly.

The entire concept of HVM is poor if you have PV available. But as only very limited workloads support full PV, there is a lot of focus on features for HVM. But what they do on HVM can be replicated by KVM, ESXi and Hyper-V, but what they do with PV cannot.

Went for a walk and didn't have to shoot the dog down the road so I guess it was successful.

Happy leap day!

I was attempting to get my copy of X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter installed on Windows 10. I forgot that it's not 64 bit compatible
oh well. -
Interestingly enough, I still have the original box, instructions (Printed cards with key bindings etc) and I have the mislabeled disc version (Multiplayer disc is the "Master Game" disc & "Master Game" Disc is the Multiplayer disc).

It might be worth something one day... or not I don't care.
Also of interest, it's 20 years old next year. -

Ah yep... I was the one who managed to get it installed on a network share and was giving the link out to other kids.... it was still there five years later when I started working at the school. Felt terrible having to undo my hard work.

We were allowd to play AOE II, Episode 1 racer and the 1942 demo in the computer lab at school.
At TAFE, we used to play Unreal Tournament in our multimedia class as we could just drag it from the disc and go.
