The installation of vCloud Usage Meter OVF Appliance is very easy, just remember to assign its network NIC to your vCenter subnet and then browse to http://vCloudUsageMeter:8080/serviceprovider, add vCenter and configure all the email settings.
I found vCloud Usage Meter is very useful even you are not using vCloud Director, it serves as a good measurement of your virtual infrastructure and you can generate reports to have a better understanding of your VM usage, best of all, it’s a free!
I really enjoy cooking this kind of stuff on a quiet Sunday morning. I still remember Nonna (Grandma in Italian, my land lady) used to cook this yummy dish every Sunday during my 2 years stay in Chichester, West Sussex, England, wow…that was 20 years ago.
Although I am not particularly like Country Music, but this song is the one that moves me, and it’s also the one Leslie Cheung performed in year 2000 CRHK IDClub Concert, Good Taste, GorGor!
It’s like a totally new re-discovery for me. I just came to know about Roberta Flack only yesterday after going through the list of Grammy’s Best Song of the Year, and surprisingly found she was the original singer of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” (1973) and “Killing Me Softly” (1974)
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (1973), it’s such a Beautiful song!
Killing Me Softly (1974), definitely a classic! Roberta said she wrote this song after seeing Don McLean of American Pie fame in concert.
It seemed the market for 3rd party virtualization tools is really heating up, this time it’s VKernel offers some free apps for those who love every bites of those nice looking GUI based tools.

I’ve tried them all, well, it does what it suppose to, which is just to give you a very preliminary of what your current virtual infrastructure is and also present you some problems it discovered, to get into more details, you have to pay as expected. Well, to some extend, I don’t like VKernel’s free tools, as they are really does nothing but to get you into buying their products, by contract, Veeam is doing much better for the free products that’s actually useful, so I’ve uninstalled all 4 after 30 mins of testing as I found they are really not useful at all.
A few years back, I was seriously consider buying VMkernel’s chargeback product as it’s more advanced than VMware’s chargeback product, but both contains flaw and drawbacks. After almost 3 years, I still don’t see anyone on the market offers a good cloud based chargeback/billing panel for easy to use and customize to individual company’s requirement, if you know any new comer, please drop me a line, thanks.
Mix Greens from Australia, Cherry Tomatoes from Israel, Organic Cucumber from Local, Feta Cheese from Greek, and a touch of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic from Italy. Together with a slice of home baked bread and some left over Carbonara, this makes a perfect lunch!
The cost for the salad per serve is about HK$25, way cheaper and healthier than buying the ready-made ones from super market, this price of course not counting the labor that is.
