64 Bit: The Final Frontier – Slides From my Presentation at PubForum

64-Bit Windows (X64)
Published Jun 10, 2010 Updated Oct 26, 2010

Only a few days ago I attended PubForum in Frankfurt - a weekend well spent! I had an altogether good time and very much enjoyed meeting so many great people. I also presented on the topic of migrating to 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 and XenApp 6, a task not to be taken lightly. For anyone interested, here is the slide deck I used.

Where is the Hosts File on Windows x64?

[A German translation of this article is available at faq-o-matic.net.] The subtle differences between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows present so many intricacies and pitfalls that even Microsoft employees seem to have trouble getting it right. I just stumbled upon a KB article that describes how to reset the hosts file to its original state. The topic alone is funny enough - it is not as if the default hosts file contained great amounts of data. An entry for localhost (IPv4 and IPv6) is all you need, and on Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2 not even that. But anyhow, there seem to be enough people asking MS support for this or they would not have troubled with creating a package (ResetHOSTSFileBackToDefaults.MSI) that basically empties the hosts file.

Scripted WordPress to Hugo Migration

After having published in WordPress for almost 20 years, it was time for a change. This site is now rendered by Hugo, a static website generator built for Markdown content hosted in a Git repository. The migration from WordPress (HTML) to Hugo (Markdown) was far from trivial. Since I couldn’t find any tool for the job, I developed my own set of migration scripts that fully automate the migration process. You can find them on GitHub along with extensive documentation.
