Thanks, Ed:

How can I delete & unregister a virtual HDD if the VM that it was associated with has already been deleted (using the command in Step #4)?

Comment on Beer O’Clock Friday Selections! Now On Posterous by Ed Stafford

@Wendy Gould Awesome! Thanks for the heads up about the Christmas Prelude Wendy. Just one question. Which "beer from Maine" are you suggesting. You didn't specify. It the Prelude like a festival that brings out different beers, or is it mainly just one?

You have to add the beer from Maine. The first weekend in December, Kennebunk holds the Christmas Prelude. They have beer with a special label. Add to your “to do list” for December of 2010.

@Freshmint Design
Thanks for your comment! Very glad you found it useful.
I had a quick look through the API and don’t see any built-in way of reversing the order. Here’s a thought: Split the code into two loops.
1. grab the feed
2. Loop through extracting the Video ID and placing each one into a new array.
3. Reverse the new array
4. loop through the new array and build each link.

Ed,

Thanks!!

Switched to Vbox as vmware wouldn’t address wireless (ubuntu server guest) (vista host); Vbox worked immediately. After 2 months (time allowing) still couldn’t get
get either talking to each other.

Followed your suggestions, 2 minutes later & everything is working!!!

Great post!!

Craig – That’s excellent! Glad the post was able to help.

Kit – Strange.. Can you reach a web site using a dedicated IP instead of domain name.
Example:
http://74.125.45.100/
instead of
http://google.com

if you can, it might support your DNS question. Perhaps the DNS servers are not set properly for the XP Guest?

Well this is strange…
For kicks n giggles I changed the Bridged Host interface to my Wireless LAN Device and started up Fedora11. Now Bridged mode is working. So it would appear, possibly there is an issue with Win7 host Intel NIC driver not passing DNS. If I figure it out, I’ll be sure to post.

Configuration on my host and VM are exactly as you have described but I am having the same issue as Andrew M.
Host: Windows 7
VBox: Fedora 11 x64

If the Network for the Vbox machine is set to Bridged Mode I can get to IPs all day long but am not able to get DNS to function in the Vbox machine. Strange that its only DNS that does not work. nslookup, dig @, ping, on the VBox host all fail.

If the network is changed to use NAT then DNS works fine.
