Random Tech Thoughts

Had a bit of a scare with a server that was displaying an error durring startup: There are offline or missing virtual drives with preserved cache. Please check the cables and ensure that all drives are present Press any key to enter the configuration utility. I was able to salvage everything though. Here are a couple, possibly helpful, links: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/poweredge-r740/server_tsg/offline-or-missing-virtual-drives-with-preserved-cache-error-message?guid=guid-7eec67f1-0f6c-4b7f-86c3-641e9e7f5c4b&lang=en-us https://newsignature.com/articles/dell-raid-preserved-cache-error-unable-past-post/ Please leave a rating/review for this podcast!

This might also work on Windows 10, I haven't tried it. 1. Open an elevated command prompt. 2. slmgr.vbs /upk 3. slmgr.vbs /cpky 4. slmgr.vbs /ipk PRODUCT KEY OPTIONAL (do it if you have a problem, maybe do it even if you don't) 5. slmgr.vbs /ATO Reboot Enjoy!

That's a terrible title, my apologies, I didn't want to make it too long and convoluted. Basically, if you're trying to mount an attached volume that is not your primary volume to your Ubuntu server running on AWS you can't use SDF or even XVDF as your mount point, you need to use nvme1n1p1.

Now that we're dealing with blocks if you want to put a background color on an image you have to go to your advanced, additional CSS classes section and reference a class that you have to create either in your theme files or in your special "additional CSS" area under the customizer. I needed the background of an image to be black (and the caption text to be white) so I did: .imgblack { color: white; background-color: black; } And then referenced that class name in the settings for that particular block.

Speaker: Luther Birdzell, founder and CEO, OAG analytics Machine learning is here, artificial intelligence is a big part of our lives already. But the oil and gas industry is "generally" slow to adopt new technology. There are those of us though pushing to make these technologies part of our everyday processes.

There are three really cool startups that got to showcase their technology at this event, and participants were allowed to then discuss their products and business ventures with them.

Bill Roth, the vice president of information technology at hillcorp energy company, gave a fantastic presentation about how they are leveraging Amazon cloud technologies to augment and automize their IT infrastructure and team.

Don Bulmer kicked off the event and introduced Arno Can Den Haak who provides lots of great insights on technology adoption within the industry.

Amazon Web Services hosts a lot of events, and today in Houston, is one specific to the Oil and Gas industry. I am here on behalf of P&P Oil & Gas Solutions, https://ppogs.com.
