A few years back I stopped most of my work on our pretty nice Microsoft Exchange service and handled over full control the extremely competant Mark at Primary Technology.  Mark has many years experience working on our Microsoft Exchange for schools service and I have to say his recent blogging on Exchange 2007 to 2010 migration is fantastic.  If you have a minute and you’re into Microsoft Exchange stuff then check out Marks fantastic blog!

Also keep your eye on things changing at School Email, we’re introducing the new interface and a bunch of other amazing new feature that we are sure schools are going to absolutely love!

Very off topic but so is life.. Brammer stock replacement drive belts for Murray lawn mowers, what you have to do is given them a call with the model number from the belt, the model # is visible on the belt but you probably have to town the mower on it’s side.

Took me a few hours to find someone who could provide me with a belt for my Murray sit and ride lawn mower so I thought I’d share… .

Flip cameras are dead.. Yep. You read that right.. Cisco have killed the product/brand/company.. Why? Because everyone is using mobile phones to capture video and images.. So what choice do teachers have? How about a nice little app for android phones called Classdroid? It’s free and is written specifically for teachers.. G’wan.. Give it a go today, search for classdroid on your phone or install it via the market place.

So you have a zombie process, in my case varnish and I couldn’t kill it with kill -9 PID or killall -9 varnishd..

Use: ps fauxwww – It will show you a branch of processes and you want to kill it’s parent process, in my case it was bash. Don’t do killall bash, that would just be stupid. Do kill -9 PID_of_bash_parent..

That is all, now you too can kill zombies.
