Group Messaging

Image
By [email protected] and Support @ Whaddya.com
I downloaded a Groupme app today so I can send a group message (group texting) to my kids. Whenever I send them a message, they will instantly receive it and give me updates. I am their Central Command, to get update from everyone and keep them in touch. I'm only using the Group Messaging, though they have added features such as Conference Call, Location, and Photo Sharing.

How to use it?
  • Download the app from Apple website.
  • Start a Group, it will send a confirmation message to verify your phone number.
  • In Setup "How do you want to receive messages?" I selected SMS because I have unlimited text messaging from my mobile service provider AT&T. For Sprint smart phone users, the PUSH should be ok, because it push messages are free and use your data connection. As of writing this post, Sprint data is unlimited.
  • I keep ON for Save Groups to Contacts, and Off for Sync Contacts. I may change this option if needed in the future.
  • Put check on "I agree to the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy". Touch continue.
  • Finishing up, enter your Full Name, and your Email, then touch Finish. Saving ...
After the setup of Group Messaging, you can start your group texting (conversation) right away.
  • Start a group, give your group a name. For my example, I used Kids Group Text.
  • Next, add people to the group. So I touch the (+) sign in my iPhone to add my children mobile number, and including my wife. I have a little bit of technical issue, adding contact from my Address book, but it's work out ok.
  • Touch Start. This will send a text or invite to each member. This is the part I don't want, I only want to send them group text, and they can send me a text. My option is Cancel or Send. I still touch Send to complete the setup.
  • Test it ok but Groupme number will show up in your reciepents mobile phone, not your own number. It will be confusing from the them in the beginning.
I hope you enjoy this free app and service from Groupme. More details at their website Groupme.com

By [email protected] and EM @QUE.com
Have you tried to add storage in your VMware environment after the initial setup and configuration? In my case, I needed to add storage for more space to copy virtual machine files. This is also the same approach to access a USB drive to import a vmx and vmdk files (virtual machine and data storage). For this article, I will provide a step by step procedure on how to add your USB drive from one of your Windows Server (or workstation). Let's use a Windows Server 2003 for reading your USB drive. By default, the NFS service is not enable. So, you have to add this service first. Go to Start , Control Panel , Add or Remove Programs , Add/Remove Windows Components , Other Network and Print Services , and select all for Microsoft Services for NFS . You asked, Why enable NFS Service? The VMware is based using Linux, so you need to enable NFS service to share your network drive or folder. Share a USB drive or folder. Open your Windows Explorer and browse your USB drive. In your
