This is/was one of my blogs. Just a few bits and pieces - IT, woodwork, metalwork, electronics, DIY, technology articles and anything else I might be currently interested in and get around to documenting.

There might be some broken things because this site was converted roughly from Wordpress to jekyll.

My main area of interest these days is political party innovation which I’m building a project for at oneaction.nz

A couple of things I came accross with iLO today:

Plain Firmware Image .bin Files

I’ve got DL360 G5 running VMWare ESX 4 and I wanted to update the iLO firmware to the latest version. Even though iLO has a firmware update page where you can upload a new firmware image file. This doesn’t seem to be available for download at the HP iLO2 support page. To get it you need to download the Windows firmware update tool and extract the package using 7-zip.

Remote Console – Cursor Keys Don’t Work with IE8

To get around this, disable protected mode in IE or run it IE as administrator (Windows 7, vista etc).
