Multi-tab Terminal Services Client
Like many Systems Administrators I have to access multiple terminal services and remote desktops across a network. This nice little project has been programed that allows you to have each session in a new tab. This is a wonderful convenience.

QuickTime Alternative 2.30 MSI Installer
When I made version 2.20 on the weekend I should have checked prior that their wasn’t an update to Quicktime Alternative. So here is version 2.30 for your deployment pleasure.
QuickTime Alternative 2.20 MSI Installer
So this is the same story as the Real Alternative MSI, but this time I need QuickTime Alternative. Everything is pretty much the same, full install, pretty much everything default, menu installed to Accessories\Entertainment.
Real Alternative 1.75 MSI Installer
So I wanted to deploy Real Alternative 1.75 on my network at work, but low and behold I can’t find a pre-made MSI file that anyone has produced (and publicly shared). So I decided to make one myself.
And unlike all those other snobs I’m going to share it with you all.
Downloads
Notes:
- This is a full install based on the Real Alternative 1.75 setup
- It installs Menu Shortcuts in Accessories\Entertainment\Real Alternative
- “Uninstall Real Alternative” has been removed from the menu shortcuts
Build Process
Download a copy of Real Alternative from Codec Guide. I’m going to make this short and simple. Basically I’ve built a fresh install on Windows XP in Virtual PC, ran Windows Update so that Windows was current, installed WinINSTALL LE 2003 and then Ran through the WinINSTALL process to create an MSI.
Note: When installing WinINSTALL LE 2003 disable your network adapter, this will get you past the registration error.
Sun Microsystems Buys MySQL
Ok so I was reading on ZDNet that Sun Microsystems is purchasing MySQL for US$1billion. Now I don’t mean to raise alarm bells but what is this going to mean for those us who are using MySQL. Is Sun going to push MySQL to a commercial product, or are they going to just add stuff on and sell that. Who knows what their plan is, interestingly they have said nothing about this, at present it’s all guff in media about the purchase and no detail, and as usual the devil is in the detail.
As usual when something that lots of people love and use gets into big business hands we will all be watching.
