This is a reminder for myself mainly.
The update servers for SLES 11 SP3 on Azure changed – and there is a pretty well managed process to change the update repos.

Over the past 15 years I’ve become very aware that different people take in information in very different ways. I am a visual learner as an example – so seeing diagrams, manipulating shapes on a touch screen, linking conceptual boxes together – that’s my thing. Others prefer to read and digest, others like to listen, question and engage in conversation.
I am writing a series of architecture papers – and to make sure that the concepts and intent are really landed I’m doing a lot of whiteboarding and socialising too.
It’s nice to be able to turn the dial to 11 when you need something doing quickly.
Just rebuilt the thumbnails on the photo albums – it’s a CPU intensive job. Turn Azure up to 11 – more RAM, more procs – and it’s done in no time.
Something is broken with Comcast Business Internet.
Speed test (urg) to Comcast in Seattle gives 50/10 – as expected:
Speed test to Comcast in San Jose gives 50/10 as expected:
Speed test to Comcast in Salt Lake gives 2/10 – which is horribly broken.
Same Ookla test outside Comcast – and I get 2/10 in Seattle.
Comcast Chicago compared with Comcast Seattle.
I had a group of machines for a pilot project just stop launching Power View.
Very frustrating – and then my machine stopped working.
I finally tracked down the problem – and hopefully this helps others.
Using the Registry Editor – RegEdit – browse to
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\User Settings
You should see a registry key PowerViewExcelAddin
Delete the key.
Now open Excel – create a new blank workbook.
On the Insert tab you should see PowerView
Click on PowerView – Excel will say you need to enable Power View – click on Enable.
The Power View and all of the BI should work now.
