Esther got in front of the camera, as I was taking pictures of the new border for the privet hedge!

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 4.1 U1 testing on VMware Player 3.1.4
Monday, June 6th, 2011
VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 4.1 U1 installed and operating in VMware Player 3.1.4
So here’s the proof, it’s not a requirement to use VMware Workstation 7.1.4, to install and run VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi). You can use the FREE VMware Player 3.1.4.
It’s also rather interesting is that ESX/ESXi is not a supported operating system, when you select the New Virtual Machine Wizard, there is no ESX Server 4.0 option to select, like with Workstaton 7.0.
But if you use the Easy Install option, it detects the ISO/CDROM as ESX Server 4.0 detected!
Privet Hedge Maintenance (continued)
Monday, June 6th, 2011More border clearing today, and tidying under the privet hedge, hopefully tomorrow, the new border will be complete, and I’ll be able to install the water irrigation system that arrived today! (and then it will probably rain!).

Privet Hedge Maintenance
Sunday, June 5th, 2011After the harsh cold -16 degrees C winter, and the very dry spring, the privet hedge has taken a bashing. So time to give it some tender loving care. As you can see from these pictures, it’s lacking a lot of new growth. We’ve spent the afternoon, marking out a new border, so the lawn is not up to the base of the hedge, and tidy up underneath the hedge, to increase air flow, and later I’ll be installing a water irrigation system to regularly water the hedge everyday. The soil underneath the hedge is bone dry, and then later give the hedge a good feed.

Marmite or Vegemite? – Vegemite sandwich
Friday, June 3rd, 2011
Marmite or Vegemite?
I needed to make a quick sandwich for lunch today, decisions?
I’ll think I’ll have a Vegemite sandwich. That reminds me…
“Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles
I said, “Do you speak-a my language?”
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,”
“I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.”
Men at Work, ‘Down Under’ 1982
One of my favourite tracks from the 80s, and a Great Video. Check it out here on You Tube

Esther, Angus and Tilly – June 2011

Mac OS X Virtualization Part III – Install Mac OS X 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011In this final part, I look at virtualising Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on VMware Workstation 7.1.4. I don’t forsee any issues, with this as I’ve had Mac OS X 10.6.5 Snow Leopard running on VMware Workstation 6.5.3.
Over the next few days, I look at using the FREE VMware Player 3.0 to also virtualise and use these Mac OS X operating systems.

Mac OS X Virtualization Part II – Install Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
Monday, May 30th, 2011So in Part II of this series of Virtualising Mac OS X opertating systems using VMware Workstation 7.1.4 , I’m going to have a look at the pre-release of Apple Mac OS X “Lion”.
Using VMware Workstation 7.1.4 and the Mac OS X Server option, I was able to install Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion”. This time I’ve boosted the RAM requirement to 4GB and 2 virtual CPUs, so the virtual machine performs better. No installation issues were observed.
