Adding Virtual Disks to a Windows Virtual Machine in VMWare

As you may know virtual disks are stored in files on the host computer, be it SCSI or IDE. Adding a virtual disk to an existing virtual machine is not that difficult once you know how it is done specially on a windows based virtual machine. So let’s assume that the current virtual hard disk size has been set at 6GB. As time goes on the free space dwindles to the point where you really need some additional space. There are two possible options available for you …

Creating an Email Server with Sendmail and Dovecot – Part 1

I had this requirement for deploying an email system with IMAP. I already had a bit of experience with postfix and cyrus IMAP. But I wanted something different this time. So I started searching for a server which was capable of working with sendmail. Sendmail was already running on the server I was working on and I was not keen on installing another SMTP server from scratch (lazy me). The server OS was Red Hat Linux. After some research I came across Dovecot.

Sendmail is a general purpose internetwork email routing facility that supports many kinds of mail-transfer and -delivery methods, including the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) used for email transport over the Internet.

Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written primarily with security in mind. Developed by Timo Sirainen, Dovecot was first released in July 2002. Dovecot primarily aims to be a lightweight, fast and easy to set up open source mailserver.

Dovecot can work with standard mbox, Maildir, and its own experimental native high-performance dbox formats. It is fully compatible with UW IMAP and Courier IMAP servers’ implementation of them, as well as mail clients accessing the mailboxes directly. Dovecot also includes a Mail delivery agent (called Local delivery agent in Dovecot’s documentation), with optional Sieve filtering support.

Ok now to the technical part

What do we need?

Google Chrome 5 Browser Offline Installer Download

Hey guys,

The latest chrome browser, what may be the beginning of what will be released as Google Chrome version 5 is out for windows. Google Chrome v5 now officially supports NoScript-like behavior, where you can stop all javascript from running, except the scripts you authorize. This new version also lets you selectively choose which cookies, images, plug-ins and pop-ups are allowed as well.

With the new release, all Google Chrome users on PCs can access many new features, through their new extension system. Extensions are little programs, created by developers, which add useful functionality to the browser and to the websites you visit. Check out the available extensions here https://chrome.google.com/extensions?hl=en-US

Another feature that I find useful is Bookmark Sync. Bookmark Sync makes it easy to keep the same set of bookmarks on multiple computers. When you enable sync, your bookmarks will get stored online in your Google Account. Each additional computer on which you enable sync will receive the same bookmarks.

Finally I get to the point of trying to download the offline installer as I like to keep an installation copy just in case I need it later on. I have posted an article here which shows you how to download the offline installer. But there is a problem, the download page is not updated with the latest offline installer. If you check the download you will see that it downloads the old Google Chrome v3 Browser.Seems like Google are not keen on updating the Chrome offline installer download page with the latest browser.

Anyhow I have managed to figure out the link from which you can download the latest v5 Chrome browser.
