Blog articles from the old Kobayashi Computing site.
This week’s project will be broken down into multiple parts – it seems too big to do all in one week. The end goal is to have a process that runs on the server and outputs updates to a <div> on a web page in real time without user intervention, and without reloading the browser […]
Read More… from Week 6 Project: Update a page with a “push” from the server – Part 1, WordPress
This is Week 5 of the “52 Weekly Websites” challenge (see http://dev.kobayashicoding.net), which was supposed to be published at noon on February 15, 2017. The update to the project website was uploaded before the deadline, but this blog post was neglected. So, here it is, a little late… This week’s project is pretty recognizable and […]
Well, it was supposed to be for week 4 of the “52 Weekly Websites” challenge (see http://dev.kobayashicoding.net), to be published at noon on December 7, 2016 – an infamous day in its own right, but not the day that this blog post showed up. As I mentioned in the most recent post in this series, […]
This post was supposed to be published on Wednesday, November 9, 2016, and comprise the results of the second of my 52 Weekly Websites challenge. However, what I wanted to accomplish was a bit more complex than I thought it would be, and I’ve had some other pressing responsibilities to tend to, and I ran […]

The first of my 52 weekly projects (for the backstory, see “The Plan (at least for now…)”) is up and running! Take a look at http://dev.kobayashicoding.net for this week’s website. This will be the base site from which all future projects can be launched. This week’s site was derived from BootStrap‘s “Fixed Top Navbar” example. […]
Sometimes, the only way to do something is just to start doing it. I’ve read that if you want to be a writer, just start writing – it doesn’t matter if anyone wants to pay you for it, or even read what you’re written, just the act of writing makes you a writer. I think […]
Welcome to the new web home for Kobayashi Computing! Those familiar with WordPress will recognize this as an edited version of the sample post created when WordPress is installed. It seemed more fitting to update the post a bit rather than delete it… I will be publishing articles here on a regular basis about all […]
I was recently computing happily along, not suspecting anything, when suddenly things began to go terribly wrong. Web pages stopped loading. My email connections timed out. I could not remotely access my clients’ networks. The situation was serious. Then my wife told me that she could not get to any web sites. The situation had […]
When I’ve talked to a small business owners about using virtualization in their IT infrastructure, one of the most consistent questions I’ve gotten – well, after “what’s that” – amounts to “why – what’s the advantage?” This is certainly a valid question, and it’s one I had to think about in order to articulate the […]
Read More… from Core i7 VirtualBox Server: Why Virtualization?
I’ve been using virtualization technology for several years now – first with VMWare (Workstation, Server, and Player), and then with VirtualBox. I tried Xen very briefly while looking at OpenSUSE, but never did use it on a day-to-day basis. Until now, I had only ever used desktop OSes (operating systems) (mostly Linux, but some Windows […]
