For example, you need to upload log file in case of error from desktop application to remote site using WCF service and if the log file is too big, you might have to tweak your WCF service’s Web.config.

By default the configuration for the service will be

      <services>
            <service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="Service">
                <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="IService">
                </endpoint>
                <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
            </service>
        </services>

You need to specify the binding manually and add binding reference as highlighted below.   

    <services>
            <service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="Service">
                <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService" contract="IService">
                </endpoint>
                <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
            </service>
        </services>
        <bindings>
                <basicHttpBinding>
                    <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
                        openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
                        allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                        maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647"
                        maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" messageEncoding="Text"
                        textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered" useDefaultWebProxy="true">
                        <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"

Berikut adalah beberapa trik sederhana untuk mempercepat kinerja Firefox anda. Trik – trik ini memungkinkan Firefox untuk mengunduh halaman situs lebih cepat dengan membuka lebih dari satu koneksi agar ia dapat melakukan lebih dari satu download setiap waktu.

Harap diingat bahwa ini hanya berlaku bagi pengguna jaringan pita lebar (broadband), jadi bagi pengguna dial-up, anda dapat melupakannya untuk saat ini.

1. Ketik “about:config” pada address bar dan tekan return. Scroll ke bawah untuk mencari konfigurasi – konfigurasi ini:

“network.http.pipelining”
“network.http.proxy.pipelining”

“network.http.pipelining.maxrequests”

Biasanya browser hanya akan membuat satu permintaan terhadap sebuah situs setiap waktu. Namun dengan

pipelining, anda dapat membuatnya lebih dari satu, yang membuat download halaman menjadi lebih cepat.

2. Ubah entri menjadi:

Set “network.http.pipelining” menjadi “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” menjadi “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” menjadi 30. Ini berarti ia akan melakukan 30 request dalam satu waktu.

3. klik kanan dimanapun dan pilih New-> Integer. Namai “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” dan set value menjadi “0″.

4. Terakhir,Download aplikasi FIRETUNE untuk mempercepat Mozilla Firefox

Are you tired of the default Windows 7 Logon? Well I’m about to quickly show you how to change it like I did.

lets get stuck in:

1. Download the Windows 7 Logon Changer.

2. Extract and run the Win7LogonBackgroundChanger.exe file (or install it from the setup folder contained inside) .

3. Click on any of the available images in the preview bar at the top or click on Choose a folder to open and add images of your own to the preview bar to select from instead.

4. When you have selected the image you want click on the Apply this background button.

5. When it’s done, click on OK.

7. You’re log on screen is now changed. You can press Ctrl+Alt+Del to test it.

8. When done, close the Windows 7 Logon Background Changer program.

If you cannot read the text there is also options to make the text brighter or darker, a little bid of fiddling might be required to get the best results.

And there you go, I know this is a small post but a handy one at least.

When you right-click a file, there is a wealth of options available in the context menu that appears. At the bottom, you’ll notice Properties, and clicking it will let you change all sorts of things, and give you lots of info about the file (depending on the file-type).

In the first tab, Basic, you’ll see you can rename the file, and if you click on the icon on the left, you can change it to whatever you want. Note that this will change the icon only for the file specified, not all others of the same extension. If you want to change the icon for a whole file-type, read about creating your own mimetypes in Ubuntu.

If you’re ever having permissions trouble with a file, go to the Permissions tab and make sure you have full “Read and write“ access. Also, if files of a specific extension are not opening in anything (and a default program has been specified), or if scripts aren’t being executed, or certain text files not opening, then you may need to tick “Allow executing file as program“.

The last thing you can do is change the default application for the whole file-type under Open With, and all you need to do is select another from the list. You can +Add more, and if the app you want isn’t in the list that is presented to you, you can create your own custom command instead. In this example of .txt documents, if the desired program, Leafpad, isn’t in the Open With list, and isn’t presented after clicking +Add, you could type leafpad as the custom command.

So there you have a few ways to get greater control over your files. As you can see, changing the default program a file-type opens in is a quick and easy task, and you can customise your most important files to have their own unique icons.

Beberapa artikel tweaking Windows, ataupun tweaking browser pernah ditampilkan. Berikut satu lagi dari Evan Code seputar trik untuk system yang lemot:

Mais um assunto que dá “pano-prá-manga”  quando dois técnicos resolvem conversar sobre tecnologia:

1) É ou não é afinal fácil adicionar e remover programas no Linux?
2) É ou não é mais fácil que no Windows?
3) E os drivers, qual dos dois se saem melhor na escolha e instalação?

Bom, minha missão neste blog é ser coerente, e não fundamentalista, procuro apresentar as coisas da forma mais fácil e clara possível, e tentarei não arrastar a asa para lado nenhum, e ser justo com as partes envolvidas, Linux, Windows e Você!

Sendo assim, desenvolvi uma simples tabela comparativa que pode ser muito útil para você visualizar e tirar suas próprias conclusões, apresentando os recursos disponíveis, similares ou não entre os dois sistemas operacionais.

Recurso
Adicionar e Remover Programas/Pacotes	Adicionar Remover Programas no Painel de Controle	Central de Programas Ubuntu Synaptic Ubuntu Tweak Scripts (como Ubuntu Perfeito)
Adiciona programas à partir de um repositório remoto	Somente Drivers de Dispositivos	Todos os tipos de aplicativos numa base com milhares à escolher nos modos acima descritos. Linha de comando “sudo apt-get install nome_do_pacote” Linha de comando “sudo aptitude install nome_do_pacote”
Adiciona programas à partir de fontes locais (Hd, Cd, DVD, Usb)	Auto-execução Seleção Manual	Auto-execução Adição de Repositório Local Seleção Manual
Adiciona programas à partir auto-executáveis/extratores baixados	.exe (padrão Windows) .msi (idem) .zip (Winamp por exemplo)	.deb (padrão debian/ubuntu) .bin (Google Earth, Picasa) .run .sh .exe (utilizando wine) .rpm (com alien) .py (python)
Adiciona programas com compilação específica		Make, Make install à partir de pacotes devel
Remove programas por algum tipo de central	Adicionar Remover Programas no Painel de Controle	Central de Programas Ubuntu, Synaptic Ubuntu Tweak Scripts
Remove programas por locais fora de uma central	Iniciar > Programas > Programa > Desinstalar Clicar sobre o programa baixado e solicitar sua remoção	Linha de comando no terminal: “sudo dpkg –remove nome_do_programa.deb” Linha de comando “sudo apt-get remove nome_do_pacote” Linha de comando “sudo aptitude remove nome_do_pacote” Clicar sobre o programa baixado e solicitar sua remoção

Diante dos comparativos apresentados acima, tecnicamente conferimos um empate técnico às nossas questões, todos tem sistemas muito eficientes de instalação e remoção de programas, desde os mais simples e triviais aos mais técnicos.

Mas há algumas ressalvas:
- Creio que o Windows possui uma leve vantagem no fato de possuir o “Desinstalar” dentro do menu do próprio programa.
- A ausência disso no Linux acaba sendo superada pelos seus outros meios.
- O Linux possui o fantástico recurso de Repositório unificado de programas, permitindo a instalação segura e tranquila de dentro do próprio Ubuntu, sem a necessidade de recorrer à fontes externas como sites, cds e dvds, o que já não ocorre em sua totalidade no Windows, que reserva este fantástico recursos apenas às suas atualizações automáticas de segurança e algumas outras raras exceções.

Para mim, os Repositórios colocam o Linux na vantagem.

Mas e os Drivers?

Em suma, a esmagadora maioria dos drivers para periféricos são reconhecidos automaticamente pelo Linux, devidamente compilados em seu Kernel e Módulos, mesmo assim, em alguns casos os principais fabricantes disponibilizam em seus sites, os drivers para serem baixados, assim como para qualquer outro sistema operacional.
O impeditivo ocorre quando é apenas disponibilizado fontes para compilação, eleminando a possibilidade de muitos poderem gozar dos drivers nativos para os seus perifericos, já que muitos não possuem conhecimento técnico suficiente para resolver dependências de bibliotecas para ter sua multifuncional 100% operante.

No Windows, por outro lado, reconhece quase nada de drivers (toda regra possui exceções) , mas é baixar, dar dois cliques e pronto, dispositivo reconhecido.
O problema é achar os drivers corretos entre milhares de sites fakes repletos de armadilhas!

Conclusão?

Tem de tudo para todos, e todos para tudo.

ok so moving a bit away from my previous post topics, heres something that ive come to notice concerning my iphone 3G..

as many of you know, i have an iphone, and i have jailbroken it on the iphone 3.1 software.. this, while allowing me access to several hacks like different sms tones and themes, has also allowed me to tweak my phone to my hearts content.. ive installed many promising programs and these have helped me get maximum workflow from my ageing iphone 3G. ive managed to install a swap file tweak to help with the 1 year old handsets low ram problems (compared to my 3gs, my iphone 3g is one laggy monster), and sbsettings drop down menu has given me access to controls that would take me a vital moments digging into a menu to change. the ability to free memory and quit processes, also backgrounder has allowed me to play some games while surfing the web.. its gotten to the point where even information from my calendar appointments, emails and even the weather can be made avaliable on my lockscreen. or even send an sms message while running a game or video, now how cool is that. (note these aren’t my phone images but theyre basically the same)

so now these tweaks are essential to my phones usage and i certainly hope apple implements atleast some of them in the new iphone 4.0. this software, we all know will be released alongside a new handset next year (basing this from the history of a new iphone and software bundle every year). but one shortcoming that apple definately needs to fix is the push notification system.

basic push notifications are great, and do help me get various pieces of information from say my favourite sports results, everyday (one tip, i subscribed to some news channels on twitter, so i just get one twitter push notification everytime a new headline pops up, much easier than having to see thru every app what the new headlines are). but once you get a whole load of them.. now thats where the problems arise. now heres where ive started to try and alleviate this problem.

I’ve managed to download this handy little thing (app or extension.. something) called GriP (only for jb iphone guys). though it is still in what i believe to be BETA (it was avaliable on an iphone source i had through cydia), it is awesome and will hopefully be replaced soon with an even better version (apparently called inotifyex – which im eagerly awaiting, hopefuly it fixes what im whining about hehe).

it is basically like the mac application Growl but for the iphone (much like the paid app store app prowl), and allows me to change and customise that annoying large push popup in the middle of the screen. it notifies me with a little popup instead of the push message, and it can also be set to notify me of new emails aswell. i can change the colour, size and position of the popup and even choose if it is collapsible or not. while it does give me this the customisable option for the popup, the ability to control what it notifies me of and the ability to be non-obtrusive and use very little resources, it still suffers from the iphone push problem as i like to call it. (below – elert – a similar program but only for email, & GriP in action)

with a large number of push notifications being pushed to the iphone, push messages that were previously on the phone get overwritten with another incomming alert. now say you have 4 pushes coming from say, facebook (hopefully push will be implemented in facebook 3.1) . you’d only see one notification while your facebook app would have 4 badges on it. now this isnt that bad if say some of the push apps were on the app page you were currently in but what if they weren’t?

how would you know the had an alert if say another alert came through and overwrote the notification on your screen?

now i’ve discovered a tweak on the net (with some digging) and now it has been packaged by someone and released through cydia, the GriP notification sbsettings toggle. This toggle lets you go through your GriP (push) notifications, even the previous ones that were ignored or overwritten, and access them. i use this alot to access my notifications (yes i get alot as i have push twitter) but another inherent problem with GriP is when you are notified, your alert fades away after a maximum of 10 seconds.. ( i kno theres the ’sticky’ turned on option, but i dont want ALL my notifications up on my screen…) that it piles up the notifications on your screen and after alot of them they make your screen look ugly and you have to dismiss them one by one..

If you miss the alert and it dissapears or say you have more notifications that can fit on the screen, how would you know you got that particular one in the first place?

What we need is atleast an icon on the statusbar that notifies us of a push message or a whole load of them, much like notifier icons for jailbroken iphones. this could possibly also include a counter or something similar? would this be possible?

This would be great, and if an iphone jailbreak developer saw this, id gladly ask you make one. but what most of us that have noticed this problem (including some blogs that helped me become aware of it aswell) will want is for Apple to implement an elegant solution (maybe attach it as drop down like sbsettings), much like Androids window shade or the palm pres notification area…

(and alot of people will definately see this when facebook push is introduced)

after that, with a little visual tweaking, hopefully it doesnt look toyish like androids interface… and a couple of crazy new features that apple may probably throw in, then the phone would be perfect in my opinion=)

Here is a checklist of some cool ways to make your system even more useful, from little tweaks and system tricks, to programs you shouldn’t be without. Some tips will deal with things like how to change certain default settings to more useful ones, while others will show you how to get around certain issues that may be bugging you (like how to get full support for DVDs and multimedia).

Basically, these are most of the things I would do for new systems I set up for others (and myself). So, if you’re fairly new to Ubuntu, this list could help you quickly and easily transform your vanilla installation into a seriously useful computing environment, far better than what you ever had with Windows or Mac OS.

*****

♦ Enable “universe” and “multiverse” software sources so Synaptic can find Wine and other packages not in the official repositories.

♦ Install ubuntu-restricted-extras to get instant support for most audio and video types, as well as (non-encrypted) video DVDs.

♦ Add the Medibuntu repositories to find heaps more software, and get access to codecs for restricted multimedia formats, including encrypted DVDs. Make sure you read the bit about installing libdvdcss2 for playing encrypted DVDs, as well as the other “non-free” codecs.

♦ Install Wine to run some of your Windows software or games.

♦ Install Flash Support for Firefox & Other Web Browsers in Ubuntu

♦ Install Opera web browser or the unMHT plugin for Firefox to be able to save complete web pages as single MHT “web archives” like you can do in Internet Explorer.

♦ Add some more Internet programs to your arsenal.

♦ Get greater control over your Compiz-Fusion desktop effects.

♦ Install Parcellite clipboard manager.

♦ Make some Launchers for your panel and desktop.

♦ Add Eject Disc & Close Tray buttons to your top panel.

♦ Install a fun game for when you need a rest from tweaking your system!

♦ Create a Bash Aliases file for terminal command shortcuts.

♦ Assign Ctrl+Alt+Delete to Open the System Monitor.

♦ Install SMPlayer and change your video types to open with it.

♦ Get some really cool Screensavers.

Please note: This post will be updated occasionally as I find
more invaluable tweaks and programs, so check back later!

Package management makes finding, installing and updating software in Ubuntu an extremely simple affair. But if you already know the names of the packages you’re after, then a much simpler and infinitely quicker method of getting them than using Synaptic is to do it via the terminal. So the following is a command you can copy then paste into a terminal, and your new system will be transformed into a true thing of beauty.

It won’t have everything you’re after perhaps – like if you’re into RSS feeds or need an AAC+ encoder, I’m afraid I haven’t included those – but you can get them easily enough through looking around Synaptic (don’t forget you can use its search feature). It’s basically what most people need, from multimedia codecs to internet software, and as for any programs you don’t want, just delete them (and a space before or after) from the command.

Packages that already have a post on them will be links within the command, while the others will be explained below. Once you’ve had a look, either copy the command and paste it into a terminal, or into your text editor for adding and deleting packages before proceeding. In the case of multiple apps for a given task, either choose one and delete the other(s), or just install them all and then choose which one you want to keep once you’ve tried them (or do as I do, and have a couple of apps for some tasks, just in case).

All you need to do is choose Tools > Options, go to the Privacy tab then Privacy Settings and hit the ‘Clear History’ button.

A dialog box will popup asking you for confirmation regarding deleting all previous text chats, voicemail, calls, file transfers and SMS messages. Hit Delete and you’re done. The Skype call and chat history has been deleted.

Also, If you want to disable or turn off Skype history, just use the ‘No History’ option under ‘Keep History for’ in the Privacy tab.

By far the best method of getting your package manager Synaptic to be able to find lots more useful software is to add the Medibuntu (Multimedia, Entertainment & Distractions In Ubuntu) repository. By adding it, you in fact get access to a whole lot more repos, and you could end up finding packages in a Synaptic search that you couldn’t even find via Google when hoping to download them from the developers’ sites.

Besides finally being able to install those programs you’ve seen recommended but could never locate, Medibuntu makes it painless to get a whole bunch of “non-free” packages (proprietary, copyrighted, or other legal issues). This can range from popular software you usually need to download (and often register for first), like Skype and Google Earth, to even more multimedia codecs that you didn’t get with ubuntu-restricted-extras.

Codec packs and multimedia extras to install once Medibuntu has been added are libdvdcss2 (for playing encrypted retail DVDs), non-free-codecs, and “Win32″ codec binaries (required for the decompression of video formats that have no open-source alternative) w32codecs (for 32-bit “i386″ systems; for 64-bit systems, install w64codecs, and PowerPC Mac users install ppc-codecs).

For those who just want libdvdcss2, you can download the 32-bit, 64-bit and PowerPC versions (37Kb .DEB installers).

Go to the Medibuntu documentation page for more info, or just enter the following command in a terminal, and it’s all done for you! You can then open Synaptic and see all the extra software available to you, and install those invaluable codecs. Note that all of the below is one command, so copy and paste the lot:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list \
–output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list &&
sudo apt-get -q update &&
sudo apt-get –yes -q –allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring &&
sudo apt-get -q update

If this doesn’t work, you could be reading this when it’s outdated, so go to the site and check the command is still the same.

These days there is no doubt that Firefox is among the best software to browse the Internet. And also it is utilizing its popularity as recently it has launched its latest open source browser version 3.5. Though it has lots of feature and have a very impressive layout, there is only one issue for which i criticize it, the memory it consumes in comparison to Internet Explorer. But while searching on the Internet how it can be tweaked for better performance I came across a software which reduce it memory usage to only 100-200 Kilobytes as i have confirmed it from the task manger while earlier without this tweaked application it uses up to 40 MB of Ram.

So now you must be wondering is there really a software as I am saying the answer is Yes! It’s there Firefox Ultimate Optimizer, and this does not require any skills simply install and it will automatically sits in the system tray. Thus managing all the Firefox system processes.

So if you want to download this amazing software visit the Below link

Сначала эта панелька в Vista была просто украшением, потому что кроме часов на ней ничего полезного не было. Если на обычном мониторе 3:4 она мешается, то на широкоформатном как раз таки нет.

Удалив с нее все кроме часов, я полез в галерею.
Для себя я выбрал:

• Мониторинг ЦП;
• Мониторинг сети;  
• Прогноз погоды от Gismeteo Black skin (вместо него можно использовать стандартный)

А “со стороны” взял гаджет для отображения состояния батареи ноутбука iStat batter, занимает места мало, а отображает всё, что надо.
Можно было бы добавить гаджет для быстрого поиска в Google, но с постоянно запущенным браузером это не актуально.

Получилось простенько, но информативно.

Minor interface tweak: The default Wave avatar for new users (and bots) has been slightly updated with a bit of shading around the edges.

Not a very big deal at all. Just interesting to see what things the team are tweaking.

С переходом на третью версию браузер Mozilla Firefox стал сохранять всякую важную и не очень информацию из профиля не в XML, а в базах SQLite. При долгой работе в файлах баз данных скапливается приличное количество мусора. В интернете давали совет по ручной оптимизации баз.
Чтобы не заниматься этим неблагодарным делом самому, я накалякал простенький скрипт:

1330:
Met up with Ming Tai and Jack at Causeway Point. Was going to Ming Tai’s house to grab some files and also pass him some files. Planned to have a lunch together.

While I was on the train, Ming Tai called.

Ming Tai: Ay, do you mind Seoul Garden?
Me: HUH?  Why Seoul Garden?
Ming Tai: Jack’s hungry and wants to eat buffet.
Me: Okay lor. I don’t mind.

Actually, I wasn’t planning for a heavy lunch. Zzz, Jack and I just exercised the day before and we are putting our effort to waste.

IT WAS CRAZY. At Seoul Garden. We were spamming meat. Heaps and heaps of it. Apparently, Jack is quite the cook.

Jack: Beef, no need to cook too long.
*Picks up the beef*
Jack: WHOO. SHIOK. Medium rare.

Maybe for chicken and beef, he’s a great cook. But for fish, he gave me a semi-cooked one. For the whole meal, I didn’t dare to touch any of the fish.

I wore a white pants so I refused to go get the meat. HAHA. In addition, I took Jack’s bag and shielded my pants. Refusing to bulge to avoid staining my pants.

It reminds me how long I’ve not been to Seoul Garden. It has employed a suction system to reduce the smoke from grilling at the side. It’s pretty good. Although we still have stench on our clothes, it was much better than it used to be.

After much struggle, (I was called weak by them) we finally got to the dessert. I went for the normal flavours. Ming Tai made himself a Seoul Garden Earthquake. Jack made a wierd raisin-sprinkled ice-cream and complained that the ice-creams didn’t taste their flavours. LOL.

Ming Tai’s house. Did a lot of files exchange. The highlight was probably Resident Evil 5. Amazingly, the game worked on his computer but his mouse sucked with an impaired right-click lol.

Yes, by the way, to RE5 gamers, there’s a way to tweak your game to be processed faster. Open up window’s search and type CAPCOM. CAPCOM>RESIDENT EVIL 5>config.ini, open it in WordPad and change the JobThread=1 to JobThread=2. For quad cores, JobThread=4. Instead of using only the original 1 segment of your processor, it is forced to fully ultilise all. Cheers.

Went to Alvin’s house.

Da jiu planted some really interesting plants along the corridor. He had cotton plant and yes, we harvested real cotton from the plant. There’s also custard apple plant, cute little (really little) apples hanging on the plant.

Played Fifa ‘09 on his PS3 slim, on a 42″ Sony Bravia. It rocks. We had a lot of funny moments in the game.

Winning Eleven used to be better than Fifa. But with the recent advance in Fifa’s gameplay, it has surpassed than of the Winning Eleven. The tricks function was amazing and added a lot of soccer elements to the experience.

Weijie came at a later time and refused to play Fifa ‘ 09. We switched to Street Fighter 4. HAHA, I got owned. Alvin’s got this nice arcade button pad, it totally feels like the arcade’s. Played till 2245 before I went home.

Gymming tommorrow with Jack at EnergyOne.
