While most readers stick to a single computer running a single operating system (most commonly Microsoft Windows), one of the latest fads in the IT industry allows a single computer to run multiple operating systems – simultaneously or as needed. In fact, “virtualisation” allows a single computer to pretend to be many computers, not just run different operating systems.

Last Tuesday saw an earthquake to the east of Santo measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale. This is a massive quake, similar in strength to those that devastated Indonesia over the past couple of years. At 150km down, that recent quake was of medium depth – Vanuatu has been lucky to escape without serious shaking damage, let alone a tsunami. If you want to keep abreast of earthquakes, the US Geological Service provides information and historical data, and even an alert system.

Once upon a time, webpages were created by hand-coding a text document using special formatting. Not much different to the way wordprocessing documents were created, with particular terms for particular effects, eg. H1 for a large heading, H2 for a sub-heading etc. All of these webpages were saved with short names ending in “.htm”, to denote them as HyperText Markup files – otherwise known as webpages. Now we have a proliferation of file types/endings, and more to the point, some very long names and preceding addresses. A free service can help you shorten these long names.

Most people will be familiar with ISPs, or Internet Service Providers. Here in Vanuatu, there is only one ie. Telecom Vanuatu. The lack of choice of ISP inhibits options and flexibility, keeps prices high, and reduces the incentive to improve quality and service. Nonetheless, progress is being made, and the recent introduction of ADSL (high-speed internet through a phone line) is an example. Such progress makes the use of ASPs more feasible, ie. Application Service Providers.
