ingenious code ::

After installing windows vista month (upgrade install) I encountered a weird problem with RDP. On some of sessions, the connection was very slow. The slow connection was not happening on a specific connection to a specific operating system, so I became really confused. After doing some research it seems that Vista enables TCP Window Scaling by default (disabled on XP by default).

So in order to disable it you need to run the following steps:

1. run command prompt as an administrator (right click on the command prompt)

2. run these two commands:

netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

I spend a lot of time navigating between a dozen blogs and news websites. I tried a couple RSS applications but still they just display a short link and I have to go to the website itself.

I recently discovered google labs’ reader. I was very impressed. Basically, Google reader is a RSS online feed utility. With Google Reader I found a solution to this issue. It gets all the information from the CSS and displays the images and text from the post itself, which makes it easier to navigate between different blogs and websites while staying on one website. Although, it still needs some improvements (for example: organizing the blogs) , I would give recommendation for anyone who read on a daily basis more than 2-3 websites.

Another feature I like is that the reader has a mobile version which allows to have the same useful capabilities of the regular Reader only in a mobile environment. (It works great with my BlackJack phone).

I moved my blog to a new server. yay!

I must say that I am impressed about the capabilities of WordPress. Moving the blog was easier that I thought. The reason I moved my blog is that I feel that in 2006 I didn’t pay to much attation to my blog and I could have written and shared more tech and intresting information with my readers. So one of my resolutions this year is to write more posts (and lets see if I could stick by it) and to have a brand new design to my ingenious code blog.

Happy New Year!
