Imagine yourself, in a midst of a battle scene where, you are about to use the shift key to dash and stuff. All the sudden, you accidentaly tap the SHIFT couple of times and poof your are out of the game screen. What a bummer. That my friend is the annoying StickyKeys it is designed to assist user in input however, not that useful in gaming – duh.Â
Ok, here what you need to do.
Sometimes, when you transfer a bunch of folders with pictures on it ; you will notice a bunch of space wasting Thumb.db – This is of course thanks to Windows XP default images thumbnail database. These db files does eat up space and is useless if you are in other operating system or web server. Best way is  to get rid of it. During the weekends, I was asked to transfer a website to another domain hosting. I found out I was downloading a bunch of these useless thumb.db. This is so mind numbing. Ahhh well time for some clean up!
I found out this cool tool which does just that, cleaning up mess lol. Just assign folder with all the image crap inside. Run this mini tool. (does not require installation) .Click Search once, it’s done search simply click clean!
To get this software, you will need at least DotNet Framework 2.0 installed, if you have Windows Vista you can straight away double click and fire away.
Working on project and worrying about what backup software to use? As a developer I often worry about my backup source other than SVN, how accurate is my daily backup, is it done hourly, daily etc?
For me, I would prefer a folder sync software to a remote destination. Much like the rsync command of the linux/unix platform. Basically a sync does is that it compares the target and destination folders – analysing the files modified and the copy over if needed be.
Sync is much a lighter process when compared to a routine full backup plus compression. Normally, if you are developer like me – project source codes don’t take much of a space so, syncing folders a indeed useful. A good software to get for this matter will be SyncBack Freeware Edition.
This freeware works like charm and dandy in all windows platform managing folder sync routine.
What we need next is also to set up a NAS (network accessed storage) is the best and affordable solution for a small IT setup or some can manage it at home with a simple network setup.
We just need to sync folders with the NAS with a followings settings
That’s it a free and simple settings to backup and your backup copies can be as accurate as 1 minute interval. Good Stuff 
Yeah, a biggy and vague topic. Those of you who wondered into my site probably read a lot of forums and technical blogs each stating their own style of installing Microsoft Windows Vista.
About a few months ago, I was trying to upgrade my Pentium 4 to Windows Vista SP1, but encounter tonnes of blue screen problem to system hangs on boot up. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!
Then, I reformatted and stopped the SP1 from auto updating until I resolved this issue. Later, this month – I decided to get a new set with better hardware and hopefully having less trouble in installing to Vista. Prior to that I’ve done some research here and there.
I listed out some of the important pointers one should take before considering about installing Vista on your test machine.
