Wiring Taxonomy Fields in the Sandbox in SharePoint 2010 using PowerShell
Jul 30th
A while ago I did a series of blog posts about Taxonomy Fields. You can find those posts here: Part I, Part II, Part III. Most of the code in those posts is not usable when working in the Sandbox, since the Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy namespace is not available when writing solutions for the sandbox.
UpdateSourceTrigger in WinRT
Jul 29th
Wie met Silverlight of met WPF heeft gewerkt en MVVM regelmatig toepast zal ongetwijfeld the UpdateSourceTrigger wel is hebben aangepast. Vooral bij bindings naar een geselecteerd item is het erg handig en vaak noodzakelijk om de ingevoerde tekst bij het juiste item terug te krijgen. Helaas is de UpdateSourceTrigger weg gehaald bij WinRT.

Moving existing Fedora17 install into LVM (including /boot)
Jul 24th
Fedora 17 has a GRUB2 version that supports booting from a boot partition in a LVM logical volume. That means you can have a full LVM layout of your disk(s) without a separate physical partition for /boot. I want that! Now, I’m rather pleased with my current Fedora setup, so I did not want to do a full re-install. What to do? Would it be possible to lite:rary “move” my existing partitions into LV’s, including /boot? Turn’s out this can be done and it’s fairly (..) easy. You need to have at least the same amount of free disk space available as the separate partitions combined , either in an existing Volume Group or in unused disk space.
Fedora 17 Minimal Install
Jul 24th
Just a quick post how to create a minimal install (cli only) with Fedora 17.
- First, don’t use the live CD, but either the “Install DVD” or the “network install CD”, both of which you can find here.
- Next, when you boot up with one of these install media (either physical or virtual) you are presented with a minimalist GRUB menu. Press TAB within the default boot timeout value of 60s.
- You get presented the grub linux start command. Append the line with the parameter “text” and press <enter>
- You will be brought into a text mode install with much less options. Go through the setup questions as you normally would. When using the network installation CD you will also be asked to configure the NIC, because it is an over-the-network install. Just fill in for your local situation to get to the Net. You need DNS. You can use Googles DNS is you don’t know any: IP = 8.8.8.8
Using udev on RHEL 6 / OL 6 to change disk permissions for ASM
Jul 23rd
When you use Oracle ASM (Automatic Storage Management) for your database, the permissions on the block devices on the operating system layer which are used by ASM need to be changed. To be more precise, the owner and group need to be set to ‘oracle’ and ‘dba’ (Oracle documentation) in my case.
