			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://spiffy.sg/general/tedxtokyo-2013/attachment/1-12/" rel="attachment wp-att-14369"><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-14369" title="1" src="http://spiffy.sg/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/1-610x457.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="457" /></a></p>
<p>Konnichiwa! Summer has finally arrived in Japan, and the new season marks an important event in my social calendar: TEDxTokyo 2013. Although I could not obtain tickets for the live event, I was able to attend the live public screening at Shibuya Hikarie 8/COURT.</p>
<p><a href="http://spiffy.sg/general/tedxtokyo-2013/attachment/2-8/" rel="attachment wp-att-14370"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-14370" title="2" src="http://spiffy.sg/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/2-420x610.png" alt="" width="420" height="610" /></a></p>
<p>The theme for TEDxTokyo 2013 is &#8217;1+1=11&#8242; which meant “don&#8217;t take things for granted”. The ideas that inspired us the most are usually the ones that challenge our common thinking. This is the spark that TEDxTokyo 2013 aims to inspire in all of us.</p>
<p><a href="http://spiffy.sg/general/tedxtokyo-2013/attachment/3-6/" rel="attachment wp-att-14371"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-14371" title="3" src="http://spiffy.sg/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/3-610x457.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="457" /></a></p>
<p>Once the event venue was opened, everyone quickly found their best seats in the house to enjoy the interesting line-up of over 30 talks for the day. At 9am sharp, the presenter announced the opening of TEDxTokyo 2013, and the event kicked off with a spectacular display of classic Edo magic, known as <em>tezuma</em>, by Kohtaro Fujiyama. (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu8Dla5rASU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu8Dla5rASU</a>)</p>
<p><a href="http://spiffy.sg/general/tedxtokyo-2013/attachment/4-8/" rel="attachment wp-att-14372"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-14372" title="4" src="http://spiffy.sg/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/4-610x457.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="457" /></a></p>
<p>As a pleasant surprise, members of the audience were encouraged to take to the stage and share their ideas during brief breaks between talks.</p>
<p>One of my favorite talks of the day was by Gunter Pauli on “Catalyst, Innovation Driver and Blue Economist”. (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKS_nZP8LMM">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKS_nZP8LMM</a>) Gunter Pauli is a renowned serial entrepreneur, author and initiator of The Blue Economy. His notion of a Blue Economy and his radical entrepreneurial ideas embodied the event&#8217;s theme of challenging our common thinking.</p>
<p>You can check out the following video which explains the concepts of the Blue Economy:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1af08PSlaIs">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1af08PSlaIs</a></p>
<p>I would also recommend everyone to check out the great session by Gaunter Pauli in TEDxTaipei 2011:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWauj7_hyWU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWauj7_hyWU</a></p>
<p><a href="http://spiffy.sg/general/tedxtokyo-2013/attachment/5-8/" rel="attachment wp-att-14373"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-14373" title="5" src="http://spiffy.sg/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/5-610x457.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="457" /></a></p>
<p>I would like to congratulate TEDxTokyo team for organizing a great event. It was truly an inspiring day filled with great ideas and conversations with innovators and change agents. I enjoyed myself at the event and I am looking forward to the next TED event in Tokyo and Singapore.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">I talked about few times about using Azure for Websites and Host Services like</span> <a href="http://ricqi.azurewebsites.net/create-a-wordpress-blog-on-azure-within-2-minutes/#.UYr9r2awqM8">build WordPress blog easily with Windows Azure Websites</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Recently few people asked me how to create a custom domain name for the Azure Websites or the Services/Apps hosted on Azure. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For example, take my blog as an example. When I created the my blog on Azure, it will give me a URL like <a href="http://ricqi.azurewebsites.net." target="blank">http://ricqi.azurewebsites.net.</a> It is not too bad, but it is a bit too long for me to promote my blog to everyone i meet. I do have a registered domain name <a href="http://ricqi.com.">http://ricqi.com.</a> Ideally I would like to use that for my Azure hosted blog. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">There two detailed documents about this </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/common-tasks/custom-dns-web-site/" target="blank">Configuring a custom domain name for a Windows Azure web site</a> </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/common-tasks/custom-dns/" target="blank">Configuring a custom domain name for a Windows Azure cloud service or storage account</a></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">However there are still some confusions out there. Here is how i do it with my own blog. Hope this serves as a good reference for you. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Step 1.</strong> This is specific for Azure Websites. The Azure website custom domain name is only supported for <strong>Shared</strong> or <strong>Reserved</strong> website mode. Go to <strong>Web Sites -&gt; scale</strong>, make sure your web site is configured for either shared or reserved mode. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://ricqi.azurewebsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/AzureDNS01.png"><img class="alignnone wp-image-3661" title="AzureDNS01" src="http://ricqi.azurewebsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/AzureDNS01.png" alt="" width="671" height="498" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Step 2.</strong> Configure the DNS entry for your domain. My domain <a href="http://ricqi.com">http://ricqi.com</a> is registered with GoDaddy.com. I will go to the GoDaddy.com portal to configure the DNS settings. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Under<strong> A (host)</strong> create following two records</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://ricqi.azurewebsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/AzureDNS03.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3721" title="AzureDNS03" src="http://ricqi.azurewebsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/AzureDNS03.png" alt="" width="614" height="158" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Under <strong>Points To</strong>, enter the IP address for your Azure Websites. Go to windows azure portal, you can find this under <strong>Web Sites-&gt; Configure-&gt; Manage Domains</strong>, the IP address for your Azure Web Sites.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Then under <strong>CNAME (Alias)</strong>, create following two records.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://ricqi.azurewebsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/AzureDNS04.png"><img title="AzureDNS04" src="http://ricqi.azurewebsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/AzureDNS04.png" alt="" width="540" height="125" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Step3.</strong> Go to windows azure portal, under <strong>Web Sites-&gt; Configure-&gt; Manage Domains</strong>. Add your custom domain names for Azure Website as below.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Typically add both <strong>www.yourdomain.com</strong> and <strong>yourdomain.com </strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://ricqi.azurewebsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/AzureDNS05.png"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-3831" title="AzureDNS05" src="http://ricqi.azurewebsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/AzureDNS05.png" alt="" width="668" height="386" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">In a futuristic science fiction themed RPG, The Harvest has a game plot of hostile aliens out to turn Earth&#8217;s organic life into cyborgs. These aliens, known as The Harvesters, use humans and animals to create cyborgs. It is thus the player&#8217;s job to hinder the progress of The Harvesters. As a member of the Global Defense Force (GDF), you and your fellow freedom fighters have been deployed to various parts of the world to wage a war against The Harvesters in hope of restoring Earth to its rightful owners.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">Recently at the Windows Azure Global Boot Camp, I talked about how to migrate sharepoint from on premise to Windows Azure Virtual Machines. Some of you reached out to me after the session for the scripts, so this article helps you to create that script.</span></p>
<h4><span style="color: #3366ff;">Important: Do NOT copy the script blindly. You need to change some variables for you environment. Read through the script and optimize for your own environment.  Tweet to me @richardqyc if you have any suggestions to make the script better <img src='http://spiffy.sg/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">First thing first, download and install the <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9811175&amp;clcid=0x409" target="blank"><span style="color: #000000;">Windows Azure Command Line Tools</span></a>. After the Command Line Tools installed, prepare to get the Windows Azure subscription file publishing settings. Here is how to do it:</span></p>
<ol>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #000000;">Launch Windows Azure PowerShell. It is located at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Azure\</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #000000;">Type command <strong>Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile. </strong>It will ask you to login to you Azure subscription and download the settings file.</span></li>
</ol>
</ol>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Do save the file somewhere safe. You can reuse it for any script that you going to create to talk to Azure. Before you use the script, you should have your own sharepoint deployed in Hyper-V and exported the VMs into a location ready for upload to Azure.</span></p>
<p>Here comes the long script <img src='http://spiffy.sg/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
