    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    Test drove the 981 mentioned above yesterday. It looked stunning, had been screwed together a bit better than the 987, and obviously you could sense the improvements in refinement in the newer platform. First time in a PDK, was very impressed but ultimately think I would miss the manual, given...

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    I've had a 2011 Manual 987.2 Cayman S as a second car for the last couple of years, and I love it, but I'm considering an 'upgrade' to a 2014 PDK 981 Cayman S... The 981 has the options I'm interested in (Sport Design Steering Wheel, Sports Chrono, PASM, PSE, ParkAssist Front + Rear, Dual-Zone...

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    Not sure if the image will work or not, I've shoved it on Google Drive and shared it out...it's just one from the advert, I've not taken any myself yet. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y3f8kxY2FSHS4EAWdnorT13NDW5RHqz5/view?usp=sharing Not sure what's standard spec vs. options...but it's the...

    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    Picked up a 2011 Cayman S the weekend before last and, whether I'm just looking at it or actually driving it, I can't stop smiling!

    VMWare Workstation Pro 15.5 released

    Not sure if this is any use, but before you pay £200 for /just/ Workstation...consider joining the VMware User Group...the Advantage Membership (US$200) gives you access to a whole bunch of stuff which may or may not be useful to you. More info here. I'm running Fusion Pro at the moment...

    Big Bike Thread

    i would like to buy a new bike, maximum budget of £1500. quite like the look of the scott scale 650. i would like to get properly off-road, but don't really think i need to go full suspension as i'll be doing mainly cross country - would rather get a higher quality hardtail? going to see if i...

    MBP memory - how much?

    i bought a mid-2012 (instead of the retina) last july and immediately upgraded it to 16gb which cost £60 at the time. how many vm's are you running? i use vmware fusion on the original hard drive and run entire virtualised environments (6+ vm's) inside mine comfortably...

    crucial v4 or m4?

    i have a mid-2010 mbp, which i believe only has a sata2 hard drive interface and i'm thinking of upgrading from the 250gb 5400rpm drive to an ssd. the crucial m4 is just under £150 and had very good reviews, however i notice that the v4 is less than £100 (at the moment) for the same size...

    *** Macbook Pro Retina 13" ***

    gutted that you can't spec 16gb memory on the 13" retina though, looks like i'll have to go for a 15" which i really didn't want to! :(

    ssd and virtual machines.

    currently running a mid-2010 13" macbook pro. i make extensive use of virtual machines as i do a lot of development work, and the 13" screen when i'm on the go is a bit of a hindrance. i'm considering upgrading to the new mid-2012 15" with retina display that has just been released. do i need...

    Citrix Remote Access via CAG..

    how are you getting on with this? i work with cag on the netscalers and had to set it up from scratch, if you're still having problems i might be able to help. i remember the certificate side of things being a royal pita to setup, got it all working perfectly in the end though! :)

    memory upgrade = kernel panic...?!

    nah, it had 2x 2gb in it, i upgraded to 2x 4gb so a complete swap for matching crucial sticks. i think the reseat might have sorted it, it's been rock solid since.

    memory upgrade = kernel panic...?!

    this is a mid-2010. when i reseated the memory there was a tiny sliver of grey plastic on one of the contacts, gave the area a quick blow to get rid of any debris and re-seated it...and i know this sounds bloody stupid but since i've started using it again everything just seems much snappier...

    memory upgrade = kernel panic...?!

    i've just reseated the memory so i'll keep an eye on it and take a closer look at the logs. worth registering a potential issue with crucial at this stage? it seems they will only offer a refund up to 45 days after purchase, after that you're stuck with warranty replacement...

    memory upgrade = kernel panic...?!

    since upgrading from 4gb to 8gb using the crucial kit i seem to have gone from a rock solid system to frequent kernel panics - probably 6 in the last 4 weeks, 2 of which have been today. anyone else experienced issues post-upgrade?

    open source (free) document management systems....

    We used TWiki where I used to work, which I quite liked, and is Open Source. The new place is all about SharePoint though which obviously isn't!
