How To Add the Blog “Read More”

This is a pretty popular Blogger hack that lots of people have asked me about. Instead of answering to each email individually, I thought it would make more sense to write an article about it.

With this hack, you can choose to display a select amount of text from the beginning of each post as a teaser instead of showing the entire post on the front page of your blog. Then when people want to read the rest of the post, they can click a "read more" link to see the full post. This is very handy if you have lots of long articles all on one page. (Note that you'll need to have post pages enabled in order to make this feature work.)

Step #1 - Update Your Template Code

First you need to edit your existing code so I recommend copying and pasting it into notepad or any text editor. Also, it's smart at this point to create a backup of your template just in case something goes wrong. Now do a search (CTRL + F) within the text editor for the following code post-header-line-1. This is the default code that Blogger includes but some custom templates remove or change this code so you might have trouble finding it. If you can't locate this text then try searching for <data:post.body/> instead. Your template will for sure have this since it's the tag that actually prints the body of your post.

Now depending on which code you were able to find will determine how easy the next steps will be. You might need to do some detective work first in order to get this working properly in your custom template. The idea is to get this new code into your template before the <data:post.body/> tag. Keep reading and hopefully the explanation will illustrate the concept clear enough so you are able to adapt this hack to your custom template.

Add the following code below the <div class='post-header-line-1′/> and <div class='post-header-line'> tags if you've got both.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<style>.fullpost{display:inline;}</style>
<p><data:post.body/></p>
<b:else/>
<style>.fullpost{display:none;}</style>

The result should look something like this:

If you don't have the default <div class='post-header-line-1'/> tag then your result should look something like this instead. This is how it would be done in the MushBlue Blogger custom template:

Notice in both examples that the code in yellow and the <data:post.body/> tags are the same — it's just tag above it that will differ based on the template you're using.

Now let's add one more bit of code which will actually create the "read more" link in your post. This code will go below the <data:post.body/> tag so copy the following and paste it in. Feel free to change the "Read more…" text to whatever you want the link to look like. Be careful not to delete any other code during this process.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'><br />
<a expr:href='data:post.url'>Read more...</a>
</b:if>
</b:if>

Yes, there are supposed to be two </b:if> tags in the above code so don't think it' s a mistake. The result should look like this:

This code will be the same no matter what template you are using. Just make sure it goes below the <data:post.body/> as shown in the image above.

Now let's look at what the final result should be. Here's the updated code block you just worked on all put together:

Ok, you're all done editing the template code. Paste it back into your Blogger html window and save it. If you get an error, you made a mistake. The most common mistake is to accidentally delete a > or < while pasting in the new code. If it saved successfully, it's time to move onto the next step and modify a quick Blogger format setting.

Step #2 - Add a Class Tag in Your Default Post Template

For this step, you need to navigate in your Blogger account to "Settings" => "Formatting" and scroll all the way down to the bottom. It's the last option called "Post Template". You're going to paste in the following code:

<span class="fullpost">

</span>

You'll want to keep the spaces in there which will make sense later. After you save this, it will look like this:

Step #3 - Create a New Post

Ok, we've got everything all setup so it's time to go and test it out. Hopefully you've got a new post in mind for your blog. If not, then we'll just create a test post which you can later delete. When you click on the "Posting" tab, you'll notice that the post text area is now pre-populated with the <span class="fullpost"> and </span> tags. If not, then you didn't save it properly so go back and re-read step #2.

So when writing your new post, anything you put above the <span class="fullpost"> tag will be the teaser text. The main body of your post needs to go in between the <span class="fullpost"> and </span> tags in order for the "read more…" link to work properly. See the screenshot below. Sometimes pictures illustrate better than words.

Now publish or preview your post to see the "read more" hack working on your blog. If it doesn't show up for some reason, go back and run through the steps again. Most likely you pasted the code blocks in the wrong places. It's difficult to troubleshoot these issues since each template can be unique so please make sure to double-check your template before asking for help in the comments section below.

Here's the live post with the "read more…" link properly working based on the text I used above in the post text area.

Additional Info

If you want to go back and update your old posts with this new "read more…" feature you can. Just go back and edit each post manually. Essentially you'll need to paste in the <span class="fullpost"> and </span> tags breaking apart the post into two parts.

For some posts, you might not want to use this feature at all. If that's the case, just delete the <span class="fullpost"> and </span> tags from within your new post text area. Then your new post will show up entirely just like it used to before you implemented this hack. Enjoy!

18 Cara Memperpanjang Umur Baterai Laptop

Jika anda banyak menghabiskan banyak waktu di depan laptop anda, mungkin anda dihadapkan pada masalah yang menghantui sebagian besar pengguna laptop, yaitu umur baterai yang pendek. Bahkan laptop kesayangan anda seringkali harus mati pada saat yang paling buruk.


Berikut adalah 18 cara untuk memperpanjang umur baterai:

1. Optimisasi Power Settings - Tampilan pada layar dan hard disk adalah dua sumber konsumsi baterai terbesar. Kebanyakan laptop datang dengan skema penggunaan energi yang dapat memperpanjang baterai laptop anda. Pastikan anda memilih "Max Power" untuk menghemat sebanyak mungkin tenaga.
2. Redupkan Layar Anda - Semakin terang layar anda, semakin banyak tenaga yang dibutuhkan. Jika anda tidak dapat bekerja dengan yang redup, setidaknya buatlah ia secara otomatis menjadi lebih redup saat tidak digunakan.
3. Singkirkan Peralatan Eksternal - Singkirkan atau matikan USB saat tidak digunakan.
4. Jangan gunakan WiFi atau Bluetooth - Seperti peralatan eksternal, WiFi dan Bluetooth mengkonsumsi banyak tenaga. Matikan saat tidak digunakan, maka kerja laptop anda akan menjadi lebih ringan.
5. Jangan menggunakan CD/DVD drive - Hard drive mengkonsumsi banyak energi, tapi CD/DVD drive mengkonsumsi lebih banyak lagi. Cobalah untuk menyimpan informasi pada hard drive dan gunakan dari sana.
6. Hibernate, jangan Standby - Standby mengurangi penggunaan energi, namun tidak sebanyak hibernation yang membuat pemakaian energi menjadi nol saat tidak aktif.
7. Jangan melakukan Multitasking - Cobalah untuk mengerjakan satu hal setiap waktu saat anda mengandalkan baterai. Semakin banyak aplikasi yang jalankan, semakin besar beban yang ditanggung laptop anda.
8. Tutup program yang tidak diperlukan - Semakin banyak program yang sedang berjalan, semakin berat laptop anda bekerja. Tutuplah program - program yang tidak dibutuhkan (printer manager, Itunes, desktop search, dll).
9. Matikan Scheduled Task - Jika anda menggunakan scheduled task untuk menjalankan program, aturlah sedemikian sehingga tugas tersebut tidak berjalan saat baterai laptop anda sedang rendah.
10. Jangan bermain game - Jika anda tidak memiliki pekerjaan untuk dilakukan, hindarilah bermain game atau menonton DVD. Aktivitas ini menggunakan lebih banyak tenaga dibandingkan membuka email atau menggunakan word processor.
11. Kondisikan Baterai Anda - Baterai baru tidak diisi saat pertama kali anda terima dan membutuhkan proses conditioning untuk dapat mencapai kapasitas puncak. Conditioning biasanya mencakup pengisian penuh dan pengosongan baterai sampai tiga atau lima kali.
12. Latihlah Baterai anda - Anda tidak boleh meninggalkan baterai yang sedang diisi; menganggur untuk waktu yang lama. Cobalah menggunakan baterai anda sekali dalam sebulan agar baterai anda tidak kehilangan kapasitasnya.
13. Bersihkan kontak metal baterai - Pemindahan tenaga yang efisien juga dapat memperpanjang umur baterai anda. Cobalah membersihkan kontak metal setiap beberapa bulan dengan kain halus dan sedikit alkohol.
14. Tetap Sejuk - Sama seperti peralatan elektronik lainnya, laptop anda beroperasi dengan lebih efisien jika ia dijaga agar tetap sejuk.
15. Hindarilah suhu ekstrim - Jangan biarkan baterai laptop terbuka pada temperatur ekstrim atau cahaya matahari langsung.
16. Defrag secara regular - Defragmenting hard drive dapat mengatur ulang file yang ada, sehingga mereka dapat digunakan secara lebih efisien. Semakin efisien kerja hard drive anda, semakin kecil beban yang diterima oleh baterai.
17. Tambahkan memori - Anda dapat memperkecil ketergantungan memori virtual dan mengurangi konsumsi energi dengan menambahkan memori pada laptop anda.
18. Tambahkan Baterai kedua - Jika anda ingin memaksimalkan produktivitas dari mobilitas laptop anda, sebaiknya anda memiliki baterai cadangan ditangan anda.

How to maximize laptop battery life

I just want to share my knowledge about how to make your laptop/notebook battery life more extend and hopefully it will help you guys!


1. Minimize the screen brightness. Usually I don’t like my notebook screen too brightness because it make my eyes get tired very soon. In my experience, by turn down the screen brightness, it can make your laptop battery life more longer for 45 minutes to an hour.

2. Turn off bluetooth and wireless device. Many notebook add some device like bluetooh and wireless. Did you recognize if they make your battery laptop drain faster? It will search the nearby device (bluetooth) or hotspot (wireless). If they are not find it, they still keep try to search it. Just turn both of them off right now! Use it if you want to use and turn it off again after already done.

3. Change your mouse USB wireless. Many people use USB or bluetooth mouse using wireless or infrared connection. But they are not realize if it can drain the power of your laptop battery. I recommend you to use the wire cable for mouse to make your battery notebook more life.

4. Install more memory/RAM. I recommend you to install RAM 1Gb minimum to make your hard drive not too often spinning. This will speed up your system and will make it so your hard drive doesn’t have to do as much work.

5. Install Windows XP rather than Vista. If you install Windows Vista, I recommend you to install Windows XP. The Vista OS in my experience really drain your notebook battery faster. The Windows XP use less services to load on the background.

6. Turn off hard drive indexing. Usually by using NTFS partition, there are an option which is enable hard drive indexing. By turn it on the Windows will more or less constantly index your drive which results in the HD spinning even when it doesn’t really need to be. But becareful, by turning off indexing means that if you run a drive search it will take a bit longer.

7. Battery condition. Battery on your laptop have a memory. It will recognize when you plug and unplug the AC power. If the battery is not conditioned every so often, you may see a significant decrease in your battery life. All you need to do is run your battery completely down, letting it shutoff by itself, let it recharge fully without unplugging it, and then it has been conditioned.

That’s all my experience. If you have any other experience about how to maximize your battery life, please share your knowledge here.

Intel classmate pc morphs into tablet mode

Let's face it. Even the filthy rich needs a bargain every now and then. The original Intel Classmate PC might have started as a competitor to the OLPC to equip every student, even the poor ones, with a laptop. But what if instead of attending a public school, your child is enrolled in the best private educational institution? Would you really want him to carry a toy-like device around like everyone else?




Perhaps it's with this mindset that the third-generation of Intel's Classmate PC project has morphed into a convertible tablet. Along with the same rugged features, integrated soft handle and enhanced education and collaboration software, this latest iteration features a rotating display and touchscreen capabilities. According to the Lila Ibrahim, general manager of Intel's Emerging Markets Platform Group, "Our ethnographic research has shown us that students responded well to tablet and touchscreen technology."





Though no pricing details or product info were released, this new Classmate PC edition will certainly cost more than the previous iterations. We'll know more once the new laptop hits the streets at the end of the year.

Kemajuan Indonesia di Bidang Komunikasi

Mexico:
Arkeolog Mexico melaporkan,bahwa mereka melakukan penggalian diantara reruntuhan peradaban Aztec. Setelah melakukan penggalian sedalam 300m mereka menemukan kotak surat. Dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa 500 tahun yang lalu, suku Aztec sudah mengenal surat menyurat dalam berkomunikasi.

Mesir:
Ahli purbakala Mesir yang telah melakukan penggalian di sebelah patung spinx menemukan kabel telepon pada kedalaman 200m. Bangsa Mesir mengklaim mereka sudah mengenal telepon sejak jaman King Tut.

Di Amerika, stl penggalian sudah mencapai 1000 meter maka ditemukan kabel tembaga, maka Team Amerika dengan banggannya menyimpulkan bahwa 1500 tahun yang lalu telah dibangun jalur telepon dengan memakai tembaga di Amerika.

China:
Setelah melakukan penelitian diantara patung Teracota, ditemukan serat kaca. Bangsa China mengklaim peradaban mereka lebih maju dari bangsa Mesir, karena sudah mengenal fiber optic sejak dinasti Ming.

Di Inggris, setelah penggalian sudah mencapai kedalaman 1000 m tidak ditemukan kabel tembaga, tetapi setelah mencapai kedalaman 1500 m ditemukan serpihan kaca maka Team Inggris tersebut dengan bangganya menyimpulkan bahwa 2500 tahun yang lalu telah dibangun jalur komunikasi dengan memakai Fiber Optik di Inggris

Indonesia:
Dinas purbakala Pemda Magelang yang melakukan penggalian disamping candi Borobudur sampai kedalaman 100 meter tidak menemukan apa-apa. Dilanjutkan sampai kedalaman 500meter lalu 1000meter. Mereka tetap tidak menemukan sesuatu selain tanah dan batu. Kemudian mereka mengambil kesimpulan, bahwa bangsa Indonesia ternyata paling maju dari bangsa-bangsa di dunia. Sejak jaman dinasti Saylendra bangsa kita sudah menggunakan.... teknologi wireless.

8 Cara Jitu Menangkal Penipuan Situs Aspal

Jakarta - Peredaran situs aspal (asli tapi palsu) untuk mencari mangsa di internet sudah jamak terjadi. Pelaku seakan tak mau berhenti dengan kerap melakukan penjiplakan terhadap situs-situs yang penggunanya memiliki data sensitif.

Pihak institusi semisal bank tempat pengguna itu bernaung tentunya kerap memberikan peringatan akan hal ini. Pun demikian, dibutuhkan juga kewaspadaan dari pengguna agar aksi penipuan ini bisa ditangkal.

Berikut adalah 8 cara jitu untuk mencegah aksi tipu-tipu yang biasa dilakukan lewat situs palsu yang dihimpun detikINET dari berbagai sumber:

1. Selalu ketikkan URL yang lengkap untuk alamat situs yang Anda tuju di browser. Telitilah, meskipun hanya berbeda satu huruf, namun bisa jadi Anda malah akan dikirim ke situs jiplakannya.

2. Jangan pernah memberi tahu User ID atau PIN Anda pada orang lain. Bahkan pada staf bank tempat Anda bernaung sekalipun. Sebab, seharusnya pihak bank tidak pernah menanyakan nomor PIN untuk alasan apapun.

3. Jangan mudah percaya jika mendapatkan e-mail yang berisi pemberitahuan bahwa pihak bank akan menutup rekening atau ID Anda jika tidak melakukan konfirmasi ulang dengan data-data pribadi Anda. Pastikan lebih dulu dengan menghubungi bank yang bersangkutan dan jangan me-reply atau mengklik link yang ada pada e-mail tersebut.

4. Jangan terpancing untuk mengikuti anjuran melakukan transfer ke rekening tertentu, dengan tujuan mendapatkan hadiah undian. Sebaiknya cari keterangan lengkap dengan cara langsung menghubungi pihak bank langsung.

5. Sekilas, halaman situs aspal nyaris sama dengan situs resmi milik institusi/lembaga yang resmi. Bahkan tampilannya pun terkadang terlihat kembar. Namun, jika Anda lebih teliti lagi ada perbedaan mendasar, yaitu dari alamat URL ataupun domainnya. Bedakan dengan URL dari alamat situs resmi institusi tersebut, mempunyai subdomain yang sama atau tidak.

6. Pembeda lainnya adalah pada kata depan 'http' dan 'https' di URL. Akhiran 's' pada 'http' tersebut menandakan bahwa situs ini adalah benar-benar telah 'secure', karena dilindungi oleh teknologi enkripsi data berupa Verisign SSL.

7. Meskipun pada halaman situs aspal tercantum pula logo 'Verisign Secured'. Bagi orang awam, tentu sulit membedakannya. Yang dapat menjadi patokan kesahihan sebuah situs e-banking selain tertulis 'https', di bagian kanan bawah browser juga ada gambar gembok yang terkunci.

8. Lebih baik memastikan segala sesuatunya ke institusi terkait secara langsung. Tinggal menghubungi customer service-nya, daripada malu bertanya malah menjadi korban penjahat cyber.

I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would have believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me

And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

Rovio now navigating to a store near you

On Monday WowWee, makers of CNET Editor Bonnie Cha's favorite work companion, RoboSapien, announced that Rovio the roving robotic web camera is now beginning to show up at select e-tailers as well.

While Wrex is cute and all, he doesn't really serve any functional purpose. Rovio however is cute and extremely functional. His three roving wheels allow him to move in pretty much any direction. Using an indoor GPS system Rovio is able to, quite impressively, find his way around the house.

His WiFi-enabled webcam allows you to see whatever Rovio sees from anywhere in the world. You can access Rovio via a compatible cell phone or your PC from the Web. Let's say you're on vacation and you want to make sure your cats have enough food in their bowl. You can remotely send Rovio over to their kettle--no doubt, horrifying them--and get a streamed MPEG4 video and audio feed. You can even take pictures and email them to whomever you'd like.

Although the official releases date is September 26, so far only two e-tailers that we know of currently have Rovio listed on their Web sites.

This is a Beatles song version Computer Geek

A computer mania change a song from the Beatles which the title is "yesterday" to like this:
YESTERDAY - by Computer Geeks
Yesterday,
All those back-ups seemed a waste of pay, Now my database has gone away, Oh I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be, And there's a milestone hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.
I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say,

Now all my data's gone
And I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away. I knew my data was all here
to stay,

Now I believe in yesterday.

original version:
Yesterday
all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though
they`re here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
I`m not half the man I used to be
there`s a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don`t know
she wouldn`t say
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/bn ]
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know
she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm............

24 Useful Portable Apps For Your USB Flash Drive

My flash drive works pretty hard, so I've spent a lot of time gathering a reliable, powerful set of portable tools that allow me to work hard and play hard, even if I can't do it on my own PC. Here are two dozen apps that I always have at the ready.

Encryption

Truecrypt - Why is TrueCrypt first on the list? Simple. A multi-gig, easy-to-lose, unencrypted drive with your data on it is a terrible security risk. Truecrypt helps me keep all my private stuff locked down. Read the "traveller mode" documentation for help setting it up.

Web and Internet

Operator - I'm not an Opera fanboy by any stretch, but if I've got to surf on a public computer, I'm using Operator. It's got Tor anonymous browsing built in to keep you safe. You can read more about it in my previous post. If I'm on a trusted computer, I'll go for Portable Firefox.



Pidgin - I don't usually need to IM from a client's site, but just in case I need to stay in touch I bring Pidgin with me. For portable multi-network chat, it's the best option out there. Add the encryption plugin to keep it secure.

Filezilla - Half the time I need Notepad++, it's because I'm editing files on my FTP server from the road. Filezilla portable keeps all my sites accesible from wherever I am.

Peer-to-Peer

μTorrent - Yet another recurring frustration is not being able to find a torrent client on a PC when I need it. I run μTorrent on all my PCs anyways, so it's got a home on my flash drive as well.

Frostwire - What's worse than getting a song stuck in your head and not being able to hear it? Take Frostwire with you and make sure that doesn't happen.

Maintenance and Support

CCleaner - A lot of the computers I work on look like they've never had a single file deleted from them. CCleaner makes short work of dumping gigs of trash files from them, and it tidies up the registry, too.

Revo Uninstaller - Phase two in the purging of filth from client machines is ridding them of unwanted apps. Revo is way better than add/remove programs, and the "hunter mode" uproots stubborn apps.

Nirsoft Apps - I have to group these, because they'd eat up half my list otherwise. Dialupass, Mailpassview, Currports, Netresview, and several other of their apps are must-haves for any technician.

Treesize Free - To find where all of someone's drive space is going in a hurry, fire up Treesize. It makes drive cleanup a snap.

Teamviewer - Zero config remote control that's portable? Yes, I'll have that. Teamviewer kicks so much ass that it was an easy sell to my boss, who makes Mr. Crabs look like a big spender.

Multimedia

CDBurner XP - Customer's don't always have good - or any - burning software installed. CD Burner XP solves that problem. I switched from InfraRecorder, but it's a good option as well.

Screamer - I tried screamer out a while ago for a post on DLS, and it's earned a spot on my drive. For quick access to tons of internet radio streams, you can't beat it.

Faststone Capture - Whether I need a screencap for a blog post or to prove something to someone, Faststone is my app of choice. The included editing features are great, and mean that I don't need a photo editor for quick jobs. The link is to the last free version (at Portable Freeware Collection), as Faststone is now trialware.

VDownloader - You never know when you're going to stumble across a YouTube video that you just have to save. VDownloader will save in a number of video formats, or the audio only as MP3.

Irfanview - For image viewing and basic edits (crop, rotate, resize, etc.) , it's Irfanview all the way. The homepage is here, but the portable version is over at Smithtech.

VLC - Videolan wins as my portable media player because it supports so many formats and doesn't require outside codecs. Can 100 million downloaders really be wrong? Ok, sure they can. But I still love VLC.

Document Handlers

Notepad++ - It never hurts to have a good text editor at your disposal, and portable Notepad++ is an excellent option. Tons of great features, like macro recording, syntax highlighting, tabbed interface, and much, much more.

Abiword - Some may opt for OpenOffice, but I choose Abiword because I've got Zoho and Google Docs accounts for out-of-office chores that require heavy lifting. Abiword is small, fast, compatible, and has all the features I need for quick document production. The portable version is here.

Foxit PDF Reader - I hate trying to open a manual on a customer's PC only to learn they don't have an Acrobat viewer installed. Foxit is my reader of choice, so I take it with me.

File Management

Total Commander - Not only is Total Commander a rockin' dual-pane, tabbed Explorer replacement, but it also handles all kinds of archive files. That eliminates the need for two more apps just to handle syncs and file extraction. Until someone resurrects Google browser sync or Mozilla Weave handles all my Firefox settings and customizations I'll just let TC do it for me. Yes, it also has an FTP client and text editor, but FileZilla and Notepad++ are better.

Portable Launcher

PStart - It's nice to have quick access to the tools on your flash drive, and PStart gives you that by adding an icon/menu in the system tray. It's searchable, and there's even a tab to store quick notes for yourself.

There's my list. Would my flash drive cut the mustard for you, or did I miss your favorite app?
you can get another Portable Apps from http://portableapps.com

6 Tahap Menginstal Linux dengan USB

Jakarta - Selain Windows, sistem operasi Linux juga bisa dijalankan dari sebuah USB (flash disk). Hanya dalam 5 menit, Anda dapat menginstal Linux dari USB.

Anda bisa menggunakan tools bernama UNetbootin. Untuk bisa menginstal Linux dari flash disk, Anda wajib memiliki flash disk berkapasitas meinimal 1GB.

Selain USB, pastikan Anda telah menentukan distribusi Linux yang diinginkan, yaitu: Arch linux, BackTrack, CentOS, CloneZilla, Damn Small Linux, Debian, Dream Linux, Elive, FaunOS, Fedora, Frugalware, Gentoo, Gujin, Kubuntu, Linux Mint, Mandriva, netBSD, NTPasswr, openSUSE, Ophcrack, Parted Magic, PClinuxOS, Puppy Linux, Slax, SliTaZ, Smart Boot Manager, Super Grub Disk, Ubuntu, Xubunu, Zenwalk.

Sebagai contoh, instalasi kali ini menggunakan distro Linux BackTrack 3 dan Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS, dengan USB Kingstone DataTraveler 2.0 1GB. Berikut langkah-langkah instalasinya, seperti dikutip detikINET dari Softpedia, Jumat (12/9/2008):


1. Download UNetbootin, simpan pada desktop.

2. Klik kanan UNetbootin pada desktop, lalu pilih Properties.

3. Klik tab Permissions, beri tanda centang (v) pada kotak 'Allow executing file as program', lalu klik tombol Close.

4. Tancapkan terlebih dulu USB ke port komputer. Ini sangat penting karena Anda tidak akan bisa menggunakan USB jika menancapkannya setelah Anda membuka aplikasi UNetbootin.

5. Selanjutnya, klik dua kali file exe UNetbootin yang sudah di-download tadi, lalu ketikkan password hingga aplikasi UNetbootin terbuka.

6. Pilih distribusi dan versi Linux yang Anda inginkan, lalu pilih tipe instalasi dan klik Ok untuk memulai instalasi.

Selesai! Reboot komputer Anda dan booting-lah dari USB. Kini Anda dapat menggunakan sistem operasi Linux portabel Anda.

Plastik Tipis untuk Baca eBook

SAN DIEGO, JUMAT - Jika Anda suka baca eBook di mana saja, berita ini pasti membangkitkan rasa ingin tahu Anda. Pada ajang DEMOfall, Plastic Logic memamerkan sebuah eBook Reader yang tipis (7mm) tetapi berlayar lebar – nyaris selebar kertas A4, atau dua kali tawaran Kindle. Bobotnya pun ringan, 360 gram.

Yang istimewa, eBook Reader milik Plastic Logic mampu membaca semua format dokumen Microsoft Office, PDF, plus mendukung open standard eBook dan juga koran elektronik. Ini berbeda dengan Kindle, yang harus melakukan konversi sebelum bisa membaca dokumen dalam format Office dan PDF.

Yang juga menyenangkan, Ebook reader ini dilengkapi fitur Bluetooth dan Wi-Fi untuk mentransfer content dan menerima/kirim e-mail dari Internet. Sebuah keyboard onscreen pun tersedia untuk memfasilitasi proses mengetik.

Perangkat ini didayai oleh batere yang harus diisi ulang via koneksi USB (mini USB). Dan baru akan tersedia di pasar tahun depan, karena yang diperlihatkan pada ajang DEMOfall itu baru merupakan prototipe.

Aku tak bisa membayar (ganbei)

Ada kisah seorang Cina dengan seorang Jepang yang saling tak mengerti bahasa mereka masing-masing pergi
ke restoran makan bersama.

Dengan bahasa Inggris seadanya mereka saling menyetujui makanan yang dipesan dan ketika makanan
datang mereka mulai makan.

Setiap kali orang Cina tersebut mengangkat gelasnya, ia berkata kepada kawan Jepangnya, "Gan bei!" (baca:
kan pei !; artinya: "bersulang!")

Orang Jepang nya semula tertegun, namun ia kemudian melanjutkan makannya. Hal ini terulang lagi setiap
kali orang Cina tersebut hendak minum, ia mengucapkan "Gan bei!" (baca: kan pei )

Si orang Jepang ini hanya mengangguk, diam sebentar kemudian melanjutkan makannya.

Tak lama kemudian orang Cina itu kembali meneriakkan "Gan bei!" sambil mengangkat gelas. Kali ini orang
Jepang itu meletakkan alat makannya lalu berkata lantang kepada kawan Cina nya, "It's all right if you CAN'T PAY! I will pay!"

Agar Internet Explorer Lebih Aman

Tab [Advanced] di Internet Options menyimpan berbagai pengaturan penting untuk pengaturan akses internet via Internet Explorer. Di situ Anda dapat menentukan bagaimana Internet Explorer bereaksi terhadap objek tertentu yang ada di halaman situs web dan bagaimana cara Anda berinteraksi saat menjelajah internet.

1. Jalankan Registry Editor.

2. Masuklah ke sub key HKEY_CURRENT_USER-Software-Policies-Microsoft-Internet Explorer-Control Panel.

3. Klik kanan di panel sebelah kanan dan pilih [New] > [DWORD (32 bit) Value].

Bahaya !!! "Antivirus" yang bukan Antivirus

Berhati-hatilah pada saat anda browsing di internet karena ada malware yang menyamar sebagai antivirus, bahkan dengan tampilan yang sungguh meyakinkan. Tampilan yang ada layaknya sebuah antivirus profesional.
Adapun nama "antivirus" tersebut adalah Antivirus XP 2008. "Antivirus" ini akan mendeteksi begitu banyak virus didalam komputer anda. Berhati-hatilah terhadap "antivirus" ini karena sejatinya dialah yang merupakan malware.

How to remove it:
"XP Antivirus Protection" tidak sesuai dengan namanya sebagai Antivirus, program ini adalah VIRUS yang berbahaya untuk PC anda. Pengalaman saya menghadapi ini, awalnya saya kira memang benar adanya Antivirus baru khusus untuk XP, saya bertanya-tanya "siapa yang menginstal antivirus ini di PC saya?" karena sebelumnya saya sudah menggunakan AVG sebagai pelindung pada PC saya.
Keberadaan program ini sangat menggangu aktivitas saya selama menggunakan komputer, peringatan atau Warning yang selalu muncul setelah "dia" selesai melakukan scanning terhadap virus. Tetapi, ketika kita akan me-remove virusnya, "dia" malah meminta kita untuk melakukan registrasi untuk mendapatkan license dari vendornya. Yang membuat saya heran, kenapa selalu muncul automatic update turned off dalam versi lain.
Saya beranggapan, virus ini masuk bersamaan dengan program advertising yang selalu muncul bersamaan dengan browser ketika pertama kali kita buka.

jika anda sudah terinfeksi virus ini, berikut langkah-langkah untuk menghapus atau me-remove XP Antivirus Protection :
1. Start-> Run, ketik cmd kemudian Open

2. pada command window, ketik regsvr32 /u shlwapi.dll kemudian tekan Enter

3. selanjutnya ketik regsvr32 /u wininet.dll kemudian tekan Enter

4. tekan Ctrl + Shift + ESC

5. klik kanan pada XPAntivirus.exe dari processes window kemudian pilih opsi end process

6. klik kanan pada XPAntivirusUpdate.exe dari processes window kemudian pilih opsi end process

7. lakukan pencarian melalui Start-> Search, pilih Files and Folders. untuk mencari file-file berikut kemudian hapus file tersebut :

1. XPAntivirus.exe

2. XPAntivirusUpdate.exe

3. shlwapi.dll

4. wininet.dll

5. XP Antivirus 2008.lnk

6. Uninstall XP Antivirus 2008.lnk

7. XP antivirus

8. XPAntivirus.lnk

9. Uninstall XPAntivirus.lnk

10. XPAntivirus on the Web.lnk

11. XPAntivirus.url

8. Start-> Run, ketik regedit -> Open

9. hapus XP antivirus pada bagian : HKEY_USERS\Software\

10. Restart PC anda dan semuanya kan kembali normal

Perangai yang berubah-ubah.
Tidak ego walaupun harga diri yang sangat tinggi.
Benci apabila dikekang.
Suka bergurau.
Pandai membuat lelucon dan berfikir dengan logika

Optimizing XP version 2

Boot Defragment

A very important new feature in Microsoft Windows XP is the ability to do a boot defragment. This basically means that all boot files are placed next to each other on the disk drive to allow for faster booting. By default this option is enabled but some upgrade users have reported that it isn't on their setup.

1. Start Regedit.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction
3. Select Enable from the list on the right.
4. Right on it and select Modify.
5. Change the value to Y to enable and N to disable.
6. Reboot your computer.

Fix your Slow XP and 98 Network

You can run "wmiprvse.exe" as a process for quick shared network access to Win98/ME machines. Stick it in Startup or make it a service.

"On the PC running XP, log in as you normally would, go to users, manage network passwords.
Here is where the problem lies. In this dialog box remove any win98 passwords or computer-assigned names for the win98 PCs. In my case , I had two computer-assigned win98 pc names in this box (example G4k8e6). I deleted these names (you may have passwords instead). Then go to My Network Places and -- there you go! -- no more delay!

Now, after I did this and went to My Network Places to browse the first Win98 PC, I was presented with a password/logon box that looked like this: logon: G4k8e6/guest (lightly grayed out) and a place to enter a password. I entered the password that I had previously used to share drives on the Win98 PCs long before I installed XP. I have the guest account enabled in XP.

This solves the problem for Win98 & XP machines on a LAN; I can't guarantee it will work for Win2K/ME machines as well, but the whole secret lies in the passwords. If this doesn't solve your slow WinXP>Win98 access problems, then you probably have other things wrong. Don't forget to uncheck 'simple file sharing,' turn off your ICS firewall, enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP and install proper protocols, services & permissions."

Make your Folders Private

•Open My Computer
•Double-click the drive where Windows is installed (usually drive (C:), unless you have more than one drive on your computer).
•If the contents of the drive are hidden, under System Tasks, click Show the contents of this drive.
•Double-click the Documents and Settings folder.
•Double-click your user folder.
•Right-click any folder in your user profile, and then click Properties.
•On the Sharing tab, select the Make this folder private so that only I have access to it check box.


Note

•To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.
•This option is only available for folders included in your user profile. Folders in your user profile include My Documents and its subfolders, Desktop, Start Menu, Cookies, and Favorites. If you do not make these folders private, they are available to everyone who uses your computer.
•When you make a folder private, all of its subfolders are private as well. For example, when you make My Documents private, you also make My Music and My Pictures private. When you share a folder, you also share all of its subfolders unless you make them private.
•You cannot make your folders private if your drive is not formatted as NTFS For information about converting your drive to NTFS

Speed Up Browsing

When you connect to a web site your computer sends information back and forth. Some of this information deals with resolving the site name to an IP address, the stuff that TCP/IP really deals with, not words. This is DNS information and is used so that you will not need to ask for the site location each and every time you visit the site. Although Windows XP and Windows XP have a pretty efficient DNS cache, you can increase its overall performance by increasing its size. You can do this with the registry entries below:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters]
"CacheHashTableBucketSize"=dword:00000001
"CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180
"MaxCacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000fa00
"MaxSOACacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000012d

Make a new text file and rename it to dnscache.reg. Then copy and paste the above into it and save it. Merge it into the registry.

Speed up your browsing of Windows 2000 & XP machines

Here's a great tip to speed up your browsing of Windows XP machines. Its actually a fix to a bug installed as default in Windows 2000 that scans shared files for Scheduled Tasks. And it turns out that you can experience a delay as long as 30 seconds when you try to view shared files across a network because Windows 2000 is using the extra time to search the remote computer for any Scheduled Tasks. Note that though the fix is originally intended for only those affected, Windows 2000 users will experience that the actual browsing speed of both the Internet & Windows Explorers improve significantly after applying it since it doesn't search for Scheduled Tasks anymore. Here's how :

Open up the Registry and go to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace

Under that branch, select the key :

{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

and delete it.

This is key that instructs Windows to search for Scheduled Tasks. If you like you may want to export the exact branch so that you can restore the key if necessary.

This fix is so effective that it doesn't require a reboot and you can almost immediately determine yourself how much it speeds up your browsing processes.

Speed up your Windows 2000/XP system and save resources at the same time

You can improve performance of your Windows 2000/XP and reclaim memory by simply disabling the services that is also known as "System Services" you don't need which Windows 2000 or XP automatically provide by default.

What Are System Services in the 1st place
System services are actually small helper programs that provide support for other larger programs in Windows 2000. Many of the services are set up to run automatically each time you start Windows 2000. However, if you're not using the larger programs that these services are designed to support, these services are simply wasting RAM that could be put to better use by your applications. While the word "Disable" is used here to describe the idea that you'll remove these services from memory, what you'll really be doing is changing the startup setting from Automatic to Manual. When you do, the services won't automatically start each time you launch Windows 2000 Professional. However, Windows 2000 will be able to manually start the services if they're needed. That way you won't be unnecessarily wasting RAM, but you won't be crippling your system either. Note: If you're running Windows 2000 Professional on a corporate network, you may not be able to adjust system services. Regardless of whether you can or not, you should check with your system administrator before attempting the make these changes.

Changing the startup type of a service from Automatic to Manual is a relatively simple operation. To begin, open the Control Panel, open the Administrative Tools folder, and then double click the Services tool. When you see the Services window, set the View to Detail if it isn't already. Then click the Startup Type column header to sort the services by Startup Type. When you do, all the Services that start automatically will appear at the top of the list.

As you scan through the list of services on your system whose Startup Type setting is set to Automatic, look for the services in listed in the Table below. These are some of the services are good candidates to be set to a Manual Startup Type.

Examples of services that can be safely changed to Manual :-
DHCP Client -- You're not connecting to a specific DHCP server on your local network

Distributed Link Tracking Client -- You're not connected to a Windows 2000 domain

DNS Client -- You're not connecting to a specific DNS server on your local network

FTP Publishing Service -- You don't need your system to act as an FTP server

IIS Admin Service -- You don't need your system to act as an WWW server

IPSEC Policy Agent -- You're not connected to a Windows 2000 domain

Messenger -- You're not connected to a Windows 2000 domain

Remote Registry Service -- You don't remotely access the Registry of other systems on your local network

RIP Service -- You don't need your system to act as a router

Run As Service -- You don't use any applications that run as an alias

World Wide Web Publishing Service
You don't need your system to act as an WWW server
If you find a match and think that your system doesn't need that particular service, right-click on the service and choose the Properties command from the shortcut menu. When you see the Properties dialog box for that service, click the Startup Type drop down list and select Manual. Then click OK. As you change the Startup Type for any service, take note of the service's name. That way you'll have a record of which services you changed and can change them back if you need to, as I'll explain in a moment.

Using the Windows Task Manager
Trick : To determine the amount of RAM you'll regain by disabling unnecessary system services, use the Windows Task Manager. Here's how: Before you disable any system services, reboot your system and don't launch any applications. If you have applications that automatically load when you start Windows, hold down the [Shift] key to bypass the Startup folder. Then, right click on the task bar and select Task Manager from the shortcut menu. When you see the Windows Task Manager dialog box, select the Performance tab. Now take note of the Available value in the Physical Memory panel. After you disable those system services you deem unnecessary, reboot your system in the same manner and compare the Available value in the Physical Memory panel to the one that you noted earlier.

Final thoughts
Keep in mind that you may not find all the services listed in the Table set to Automatic on your system. In fact, you might not even see some of the services listed present on your system. If that's the case, don't worry about it. Each Windows 2000/XP installation is unique depending on the system and installed software, and different sets of services may be installed and set to start automatically.
On the other hand, you may find services other than those listed in Table set to Automatic that you may think are unnecessary. If so, you can find out what each service does by hovering your mouse pointer over the service's description. When you do, a tool tip window will pop up and display the entire description of the service. You can then better determine if the service is unnecessary. Remember, by changing the Startup Type to Manual, Windows 2000 can still start the service if it's needed. If you decide to experiment with changing the Startup Types of certain services, you can monitor the services over time by launching the Services utility and checking the list of running services. If you consistently find one of the services you set to Manual running, you may decide to change the Startup Type back to Automatic.


For a Safer, faster XP Close Unwanted Services

To disable unneeded startup services for a safer, faster XP, use the "Services" Admin Tool (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services). If you are a single user of a non-networked machine, you can disable the following items, with no ill effect.

Alerter
Clipbook
Computer Browser
Fast User Switching
Human Interface Access Devices
Indexing Service (Slows the hard drive down)
Messenger
Net Logon (unnecessary unless networked on a Domain)
Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing (disabled for extra security)
Remote Desktop Help Session Manager (disabled for extra security)
Remote Procedure Call Locator
Remote Registry (disabled for extra security)
Routing & Remote Access (disabled for extra security)
Server
SSDP Discovery Service (this is for the utterly pointless "Universal P'n'P", & leaves TCP Port 5000 wide open)
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Telnet (disabled for extra security)
Universal Plug and Play Device Host
Upload Manager
Windows Time
Wireless Zero Configuration (for wireless networks)
Workstation

20 things you didn't know about Windows XP

20 things you didn't know about Windows XP

You've read the reviews and digested the key feature enhancements and operational changes. Now it's time to delve a bit deeper and uncover some of Windows XP's secrets.

1. It boasts how long it can stay up. Whereas previous versions of Windows were coy about how long they went between boots, XP is positively proud of its stamina. Go to the Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from the All Programs start button option, and then type 'systeminfo'. The computer will produce a lot of useful info, including the uptime. If you want to keep these, type 'systeminfo > info.txt'. This creates a file called info.txt you can look at later with Notepad. (Professional Edition only).

2. You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first. Go to the Start menu, select Run... and type 'gpedit.msc'; then select User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care -- some may stop your computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only).

3. You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter 'rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' in the location field. Give the shortcut a name you like. That's it -- just double click on it and your computer will be locked. And if that's not easy enough, Windows key + L will do the same.

4. XP hides some system software you might want to remove, such as Windows Messenger, but you can tickle it and make it disgorge everything. Using Notepad or Edit, edit the text file /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, search for the word 'hide' and remove it. You can then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be your prey, exposed and vulnerable.

5. For those skilled in the art of DOS batch files, XP has a number of interesting new commands. These include 'eventcreate' and 'eventtriggers' for creating and watching system events, 'typeperf' for monitoring performance of various subsystems, and 'schtasks' for handling scheduled tasks. As usual, typing the command name followed by /? will give a list of options -- they're all far too baroque to go into here.

6. XP has IP version 6 support -- the next generation of IP. Unfortunately this is more than your ISP has, so you can only experiment with this on your LAN. Type 'ipv6 install' into Run... (it's OK, it won't ruin your existing network setup) and then 'ipv6 /?' at the command line to find out more. If you don't know what IPv6 is, don't worry and don't bother.

7. You can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using 'taskkill /pid' and the task number, or just 'tskill' and the process number. Find that out by typing 'tasklist', which will also tell you a lot about what's going on in your system.

8. XP will treat Zip files like folders, which is nice if you've got a fast machine. On slower machines, you can make XP leave zip files well alone by typing 'regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll' at the command line. If you change your mind later, you can put things back as they were by typing 'regsvr32 zipfldr.dll'.

9. XP has ClearType -- Microsoft's anti-aliasing font display technology -- but doesn't have it enabled by default. It's well worth trying, especially if you were there for DOS and all those years of staring at a screen have given you the eyes of an astigmatic bat. To enable ClearType, right click on the desktop, select Properties, Appearance, Effects, select ClearType from the second drop-down menu and enable the selection. Expect best results on laptop displays. If you want to use ClearType on the Welcome login screen as well, set the registry entry HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop/FontSmoothingType to 2.

10. You can use Remote Assistance to help a friend who's using network address translation (NAT) on a home network, but not automatically. Get your pal to email you a Remote Assistance invitation and edit the file. Under the RCTICKET attribute will be a NAT IP address, like 192.168.1.10. Replace this with your chum's real IP address -- they can find this out by going to www.whatismyip.com -- and get them to make sure that they've got port 3389 open on their firewall and forwarded to the errant computer.

11. You can run a program as a different user without logging out and back in again. Right click the icon, select Run As... and enter the user name and password you want to use. This only applies for that run. The trick is particularly useful if you need to have administrative permissions to install a program, which many require. Note that you can have some fun by running programs multiple times on the same system as different users, but this can have unforeseen effects.

12. Windows XP can be very insistent about you checking for auto updates, registering a Passport, using Windows Messenger and so on. After a while, the nagging goes away, but if you feel you might slip the bonds of sanity before that point, run Regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced and create a DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips with a value of 0.

13. You can start up without needing to enter a user name or password. Select Run... from the start menu and type 'control userpasswords2', which will open the user accounts application. On the Users tab, clear the box for Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer, and click on OK. An Automatically Log On dialog box will appear; enter the user name and password for the account you want to use.

14. Internet Explorer 6 will automatically delete temporary files, but only if you tell it to. Start the browser, select Tools / Internet Options... and Advanced, go down to the Security area and check the box to Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed.

15. XP comes with a free Network Activity Light, just in case you can't see the LEDs twinkle on your network card. Right click on My Network Places on the desktop, then select Properties. Right click on the description for your LAN or dial-up connection, select Properties, then check the Show icon in notification area when connected box. You'll now see a tiny network icon on the right of your task bar that glimmers nicely during network traffic.

16. The Start Menu can be leisurely when it decides to appear, but you can speed things along by changing the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/MenuShowDelay from the default 400 to something a little snappier. Like 0.

17. You can rename loads of files at once in Windows Explorer. Highlight a set of files in a window, then right click on one and rename it. All the other files will be renamed to that name, with individual numbers in brackets to distinguish them. Also, in a folder you can arrange icons in alphabetised groups by View, Arrange Icon By... Show In Groups.

18. Windows Media Player will display the cover art for albums as it plays the tracks -- if it found the picture on the Internet when you copied the tracks from the CD. If it didn't, or if you have lots of pre-WMP music files, you can put your own copy of the cover art in the same directory as the tracks. Just call it folder.jpg and Windows Media Player will pick it up and display it.

19. Windows key + Break brings up the System Properties dialogue box; Windows key + D brings up the desktop; Windows key + Tab moves through the taskbar buttons.

20. The next release of Windows XP, codenamed Longhorn, is due out late next year or early 2003 and won't be much to write home about. The next big release is codenamed Blackcomb and will be out in 2003/2004.

Akses webmail tanpa internet

Coba tebak, jenis akun e-mail apa yang paling banyak dipakai oleh para netter? Ya, jawabnya adalah webmail. Tak heran, karena akun ini gratis, mudah digunakan, dan kapasitasnya cukup tambun.

Sayangnya, di luar segala kelebihannya, webmail harus digunakan ketika PC sedang online, termasuk ketika Anda cuma ingin membaca pesan lama. Sangat jarang ada layanan sejenis yang memberikan fitur POP3/SMTP sehingga Anda bisa mengaksesnya dari e-mail client seperti Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook, atau Eudora.

Untunglah, Yahoo! berinisiatif melakukan terobosan dengan merilis Yahoo! Zimbra Dekstop. Aplikasi ini menawarkan cara praktis untuk mengakses akun webmail Anda. Dengannya, aneka pesan elektronik yang Anda simpan di alamat webmail populer seperti Gmail atau Yahoo! Mail bisa ditarik ke dalam ruang simpan di PC.

Aplikasi berstatus beta hasil akuisisi Yahoo! terhadap perusahaan pembuat aplikasi Zimbra ini tersedia secara gratis. Tidak hanya itu, Zimbra juga bisa berjalan di tiga platform sekaligus: Mac OS X (Tiger 10.4.11 atau Leopard 10.5.4 ke atas), Windows (Vista atau XP SP2 ke atas), dan Linux (x86 2.6.x ke atas).

Selain mudah digunakan, Zimbra menyediakan banyak fitur. Anda tidak hanya bisa ber-e-mail-ria, tetapi dapat pula memanfaatkan fasilitas daftar Contact, Calendar, sampai Document, yang bisa disinkronisasi dari akun webmail Anda. Aplikasi ini mampu terhubung ke Yahoo! Maps sehingga bisa menayangkan peta lokasi dari alamat si pengirim e-mail.

Three in One
Aplikasi berukuran mulai 42MB ini menyediakan dukungan terhadap fasilitas POP3/SMTP. Dengan demikian, Anda bisa menarik pesan yang ada di akun e-mail kantor Anda ke Zimbra.

Syarat menggunakannya tidaklah ribet. Yang pasti, Anda harus memiliki ruang harddisk 200MB untuk instalasi software, dan ruang hard disk yang cukup untuk menyimpan pesan. Sedangkan memori yang dibutuhkan untuk menjalankannya sekitar 256MB saja.

Bagi pengguna Yahoo! Mail dan AOL Mail, aplikasi ini bisa langsung sinkron, baik dengan yang berbayar mau pun gratisan. Sedangkan jika menggunakan GMail, Anda harus mengaktifkan dulu fitur IMAP melalui menu setting di akun e-mail tersebut. Atau Anda pengguna akun e-mail POP3? Anda bisa mengesetnya seperti setelan di Microsoft Outlook.

Yahoo! Zimbra sungguh menawarkan kepraktisan. Beda dengan aplikasi akun e-mail lainnya yang tidak menerima webmail, ia bisa mengelola webmail dengan leluasa — baik dalam status online mau pun offline.

TIP: Install, Atur, Pakai

Seperti halnya mailer atau e-mail client lainnya, aplikasi Yahoo! Zimbra terdiri dari tiga tahap: install, lakukan pengesetan akun, lalu pakai. Ya, memang semudah itu. Tertarik mencoba? Silakan ikuti panduan berikut.

1. Install aplikasi dengan mengklik-dobel installer file yang telah diunduh sebelumnya. Setelahnya, jalankan aplikasi dengan mengklik icon shortcut [Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop] yang ada di [Start] > [All Programs]. Pada jendela yang muncul, klik [Set Up an Account].

2. Pilih akun e-mail yang Anda gunakan pada jendela wizard berikutnya. Isikan deskripsi, alamat e-mail, dan password pada menu Account Setup. Untuk menarik e-mail baru, Anda bisa menentukan durasi waktu atau teknik penarikannya (otomatis atau manual) di menu [Get new mail]. Sesudahnya, klik [Save Settings].

3. Jika Anda ingin mengeset akun e-mail lainnya, klik tombol [Set Up Another Account] dan lakukan pengesetan seperti langkah sebelumnya. Jika tidak, langsung saja masuk ke aplikasi dengan mengklik [Go to Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop]. Jendela aplikasi akan segera muncul dengan tampilan serupa Outlook Express.

4. Akun e-mail Anda akan muncul di panel kiri. Jika Anda menggunakan lebih dari satu akun, akan muncul beberapa tab akun di sana. Para akun ini ditempatkan dalam jendela yang terpisah. Untuk menggunakan salah satunya, Anda tinggal mengklik tab akun yang diinginkan.

5. Untuk mulai menarik e-mail, silakan mengklik tombol [Synchronize mailbox with online server] berikon bertanda panah. Tunggu beberapa saat sampai muncul daftar pesan di panel kanan aplikasi. Untuk mulai membuat surat elektronik atau aktivitas lainnya, Anda bisa melakukan langkah serupa dengan aplikasi mailer lain. Pilih aktivitas dengan mengklik tombol yang berada di samping kiri tombol sinkronisasi tadi.

6. Fasilitas-fasilitas tambahan di mailer ini akan dimunculkan dalam menu tab di bagian atas. Untuk tampilan menu yang lebih lengkap, Anda bisa mengklik [Advanced]. Oh ya, salah satu fitur menarik di aplikasi ini adalah sinkronisasi dengan Yahoo! Maps. Jika dalam sebuah pesan yang Anda terima terdapat daftar alamat, maka bila Anda mengarahkan pointer ke teks alamat tersebut, Zimbra akan memunculkan peta virtualnya. Asyik, bukan?

Optimizing_XP

Make Your Windows Xp Run Faster Than Never Before


These Are Some Tricks That Make Use Of Programs Listed In This Guide And Nothing Will Happen Even If You Go

DISABLE INDEXING SERVICES
Indexing Services is a small little program that uses large amounts of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning the index lists. If you don't search your computer often, or even if you do search often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To disable do the following:

1. Go to Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Control Panel
4. Double-click Add/Remove Programs
5. Click the Add/Remove Window Components
6. Uncheck the Indexing services
7. Click Next

OPTIMISE DISPLAY SETTINGS

Windows XP can look sexy but displaying all the visual items can waste system resources. To optimise:

1.Go to Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Control Panel
4. Click System
5. Click Advanced tab
6. In the Performance tab click Settings
7. Leave only the following ticked:
- Show shadows under menus
- Show shadows under mouse pointer
- Show translucent selection rectangle
- Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop
- Use visual styles on windows and buttons

DISABLE PERFORMANCE COUNTERS

Windows XP has a performance monitor utility which monitors several areas of your PC's performance. These utilities take up system resources so disabling is a good idea.

To disable:

1. download and install the Extensible Performance Counter List(http://www.M'zoft.com/windows2000/remove404.mspx)
2.Then select each counter in turn in the 'Extensible performance counters' window and clear the 'performance counters enabled' checkbox at the bottom.button below.

SPEEDUP FOLDER BROWSING

You may have noticed that everytime you open my computer to browse folders that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers everytime you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing significantly:

1. Open My Computer
2. Click on Tools menu
3. Click on Folder Options
4. Click on the View tab.
5. Uncheck the Automatically search for network folders and printers check box
6. Click Apply
7. Click Ok
8. Reboot your computer

IMPROVE MEMORY USAGE

Cacheman Improves the performance of your computer by optimizing the disk cache, memory and a number of other settings.

Once Installed:

1.Go to Show Wizard and select All
2.Run all the wizards by selecting Next or Finished until you are back to the main menu. Use the defaults unless you know exactly what you are doing.
3.Exit and Save Cacheman
4.Restart Windows

OPTIMISE YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION

There are lots of ways to do this but by far the easiest is to run TCP/IP Optimizer.

1. Download(www.speedguide.net/files/tcpoptimizer.exe) and install
2. Click the General Settings tab and select your Connection Speed (Kbps)
3. Click Network Adapter and choose the interface you use to connect to the Internet
4. Check Optimal Settings then Apply
5. Reboot

OPTIMISE YOUR PAGEFILE

If you give your pagefile a fixed size it saves the operating system from needing to resize the page file.

1. Right click on My Computer and select Properties
2. Select the Advanced tab
3. Under Performance choose the Settings button
4. Select the Advanced tab again and under Virtual Memory select Change
5. Highlight the drive containing your page file and make the initial Size of the file the same as the Maximum Size of the file.

Windows XP sizes the page file to about 1.5X the amount of actual physical memory by default. While this is good for systems with smaller amounts of memory (under 512MB) it is unlikely that a typical XP desktop system will ever need 1.5 X 512MB or more of virtual memory. If you have less than 512MB of memory, leave the page file at its default size. If you have 512MB or more, change the ratio to 1:1 page file size to physical memory size.

RUN BOOTVIS - IMPROVE BOOT TIMES download from(www.majorgeeks.com)
BootVis will significantly improve boot times

1. Download and Run
2. Select Trace
3. Select Next Boot and Driver Trace
4. A Trace Repetitions screen will appear, select Ok and Reboot
5. Upon reboot, BootVis will automatically start, analyze and log your system's boot process. When it's done, in the menu go to Trace and select Optimize System
6. Reboot.
7. When your machine has rebooted wait until you see the Optimizing System box appear. Be patient and wait for the process to complete

REMOVE THE DESKTOP PICTURE

Your desktop background consumes a fair amount of memory and can slow the loading time of your system. Removing it will improve performance.

1. Right click on Desktop and select Properties
2. Select the Desktop tab
3. In the Background window select None
4. Click Ok

REMOVE FONTS FOR SPEED

Fonts, especially TrueType fonts, use quite a bit of system resources. For optimal performance, trim your fonts down to just those that you need to use on a daily basis and fonts that applications may require.

1. Open Control Panel
2. Open Fonts folder
3. Move fonts you don't need to a temporary directory (e.g. C:\FONTBKUP?) just in case you need or want to bring a few of them back. The more fonts you uninstall, the more system resources you will gain.

DISABLE UNNECESSARY SERVICES

Because Windows XP has to be all things to all people it has many services running that take up system resources that you will never need. Below is a list of services that can be disabled on most machines:

Alerter
Clipbook
Computer Browser
Distributed Link Tracking Client
Fast User Switching
Help and Support - (If you use Windows Help and Support leave this enabled)
Human Interface Access Devices
Indexing Service
IPSEC Services
Messenger
Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing (disabled for extra security)
Portable Media Serial Number
Remote Desktop Help Session Manager (disabled for extra security)
Remote Procedure Call Locator
Remote Registry (disabled for extra security)
Remote Registry Service
Secondary Logon
Routing & Remote Access (disabled for extra security)
Server
SSDP Discovery Service - (Unplug n' Pray will disable this)
Telnet
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Upload Manager
Universal Plug and Play Device Host
Windows Time
Wireless Zero Configuration (Do not disable if you use a wireless network)
Workstation
To disable these services:

Go to Start and then Run and type "services.msc"
Doubleclick on the service you want to change
Change the startup type to 'Disable"

TURN OFF SYSTEM RESTORE

System Restore can be a useful if your computer is having problems, however storing all the restore points can literally take up Gigabytes of space on your hard drive. To turn off System Restore:

Open Control Panel
Click on Performance and Maintenance
Click on System
Click on the System Restore tab
Tick 'Turn off System Restore on All Drives'
Click 'Ok'

DEFRAGMENT YOUR PAGEFILE

Keeping your pagefile defragmented can provide a major performance boost. One of the best ways of doing this is to creat a separate partition on your hard drive just for your page file, so that it doesn't get impacted by normal disk usage. Another way of keeping your pagefile defragmented is to run PageDefrag. This cool little app can be used to defrag your pagefile, and can also be set to defrag the pagefile everytime your PC starts. To install:

Download(www.sysinternals.com) and Run PageDefrag
Tick "Defrag at next Reboot",
Click "Ok"
Reboot

SPEEDUP FOLDER ACCESS - DISABLE LAST ACCESS UPDATE

If you have a lot of folders and subdirectories on your computer, when you access a directory XP wastes a lot of time updating the time stamp showing the last access time for that directory and for ALL sub directories. To stop XP doing this you need to edit the registry. If you are uncomfortable doing this then please do not attempt.

Go to Start and then Run and type "regedit"
Click through the file system until you get to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Cur rentControlSet\Control\FileSys tem"
Right-click in a blank area of the window on the right and select 'DWORD Value'
Create a new DWORD Value called 'NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate'
Then Right click on the new value and select 'Modify'
Change the Value Data to '1'
Click 'OK'

DISABLE SYSTEM SOUNDS

Surprisingly, the beeps that your computer makes for various system sounds can slow it down, particularly at startup and shut-down. To fix this turn off the system sounds:

Open Control Panel
Click Sounds and Audio Devices
Check Place volume icon in taskbar
Click Sounds Tab
Choose "No Sounds" for the Sound Scheme
Click "No"
Click "Apply"
Click "OK"

IMPROVE BOOT TIMES

A great new feature in M'zoft Windows XP is the ability to do a boot defragment. This places all boot files next to each other on the disk to allow for faster booting. By default this option in enables but on some builds it is not so below is how to turn it on.

Go to Start Menu and Click Run
Type in "Regedit" then click ok
Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\M icrosoft\Dfrg\BootOpt imizeFunction"
Select "Enable" from the list on the right
Right on it and select "Modify"
Change the value to "Y to enable"
Reboot

IMPROVE SWAPFILE PERFORMANCE

If you have more than 256MB of RAM this tweak will considerably improve your performance. It basically makes sure that your PC uses every last drop of memory (faster than swap file) before it starts using the swap file.

Go to Start then Run
Type "msconfig.exe" then ok
Click on the System.ini tab
Expand the 386enh tab by clicking on the plus sign
Click on new then in the blank box type"ConservativeSwapfileUsage =1"
Click OK
Restart PC

MAKE YOUR MENUS LOAD FASTER

This is one of my favourite tweaks as it makes a huge difference to how fast your machine will 'feel'. What this tweak does is remove the slight delay between clicking on a menu and XP displaying the menu.

Go to Start then Run
Type 'Regedit' then click 'Ok'
Find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"
Select "MenuShowDelay"
Right click and select "Modify'
Reduce the number to around "100"
This is the delay time before a menu is opened. You can set it to "0" but it can make windows really hard to use as menus will open if you just look at them - well move your mouse over them anyway. I tend to go for anywhere between 50-150 depending on my mood

MAKE PROGRAMS LOAD FASTER

This little tweak tends to work for most programs. If your program doesn't load properly just undo the change. For any program:

Right-click on the icon/shortcut you use to launch the program
Select properties
In the 'target' box, add ' /prefetch:1' at the end of the line.
Click "Ok"
Voila - your programs will now load faster.

IMPROVE XP SHUTDOWN SPEED

This tweak reduces the time XP waits before automatically closing any running programs when you give it the command to shutdown.

Go to Start then select Run
Type 'Regedit' and click ok
Find 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\'
Select 'WaitToKillAppTimeout'
Right click and select 'Modify'
Change the value to '1000'
Click 'OK'
Now select 'HungAppTimeout'
Right click and select 'Modify'
Change the value to '1000'
Click 'OK'
Now find 'HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop'
Select 'WaitToKillAppTimeout'
Right click and select 'Modify'
Change the value to '1000'
Click 'OK'
Now find 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Cur rentControlSet\Control\'
Select 'WaitToKillServiceTimeout'
Right click and select 'Modify'
Change the value to '1000'
Click 'OK'

SPEED UP BOOT TIMES I

This tweak works by creating a batch file to clear the temp and history folders everytime you shutdown so that your PC doesn't waste time checking these folders the next time it boots. It's quite simple to implement:

1. Open Notepad and create a new file with the following entries:

RD /S /q "C:\Documents and Settings\"UserName without quotes"\Local Settings\History"
RD /S /q "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\History"
RD /S /q "D:\Temp\" <–"Deletes temp folder, type in the location of your temp folder"

2. Save the new as anything you like but it has to be a '.bat' file e.g. fastboot.bat or deltemp.bat

3. Click 'Start' then 'Run'

4. Type in 'gpedit.msc' and hit 'ok'

5. Click on 'Computer Configuration' then 'Windows Settings'

6. Double-click on 'Scripts' and then on 'Shutdown'

7. Click 'Add' and find the batch file that you created and then press 'Ok'

SPEED UP BOOT TIMES II

When your PC starts it usually looks for any bootable media in any floppy or cd-rom drives you have installed before it gets around to loading the Operating System from the HDD. This can waste valuable time. To fix this we need to make some changes to the Bios.

1. To enter the bios you usually press 'F2' or 'delete' when your PC starts

2. Navigate to the 'Boot' menu

3. Select 'Boot Sequence'

4. Then either move your Hard drive to the top position or set it as the 'First Device'

5. Press the 'Escape' key to leave the bios. Don't forget to save your settings before exiting

Note: Once this change has been made, you won't be able to boot from a floppy disc or a CD-rom. If for some strange reason you need to do this in the future, just go back into your bios, repeat the steps above and put your floppy or CD-rom back as the 'First Device'

SPEED UP BOOT TIMES III

When your computer boots up it usually has to check with the network to see what IP addresses are free and then it grabs one of these. By configuring a manually assigned IP address your boot time will improve. To do this do the following:

1. Click on 'Start' and then ''Connect To/Show All Connections'

2. Right-click your network adapter card and click 'Properties'.

3. On the 'General' tab, select 'TCP/IP' in the list of services and click 'Properties'

4.I n the TCP/IP properties, click 'Use the following address' and enter an IP address for your PC. If you are using a router this is usually 192.168.0.xx or 192.168.1.xx. If you are not sure what address you could check with your ISP or go to 'Start/run' and type 'cmd' and then 'ipconfig/all'. This will show your current IP settings which you will need to copy.

5. Enter the correct details for 'Subnet mask', 'Default gateway' and 'DNS Server'. Again if you are not sure what figures to enter use 'ipconfig/all' as in stage 4.

FREE UP MEMORY

I found this useful app via FixMyXP. ClearMem Is an Excellent Tool for speeding up your XP Computer (especially if your system has been on for awhile and you have a lot of applications open). What it does, is it Forces pages out of physical memory and reduces the size of running processes if working sets to a minimum. When you run this tool, the system pauses because of excessive high-priority activity associated with trimming the working sets. To run this tool, your paging file must be at least as large as physical memory. To Check your Paging File:

1. Go to your control panel, then click on 'System', then go to the 'Advanced' Tab, and Under 'Performance' click 'Settings' then the 'Advanced' Tab

2. On the Bottom you should see 'Virtual Memory' and a value. This is the value that must be at least as large as how much memory is in your system.

3. If the Virtual Memory Value is smaller than your system memory, click Change and change the Min Virtual Memory to a number that is greater than your total system memory, then click 'Set' and Reboot.

4. Once you have rebooted install ClearMem

ENSURE XP IS USING DMA MODE

XP enables DMA for Hard-Drives and CD-Roms by default on most ATA or ATAPI (IDE) devices. However, sometimes computers switch to PIO mode which is slower for data transfer - a typical reason is because of a virus. To ensure that your machine is using DMA:

1. Open 'Device Manager'

2. Double-click 'IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers'

3. Right-click 'Primary Channel' and select 'Properties' and then 'Advanced Settings'

4. In the 'Current Transfer Mode' drop-down box, select 'DMA if Available' if the current setting is 'PIO Only'

ADD CORRECT NETWORK CARD SETTINGS

Some machines suffer from jerky graphics or high CPU usage even when a machine is idle. A possible solution for this, which, can also can help network performance is to:

1. RightClick 'My Computer'

2. Select 'Manage'

3. Click on 'Device Manager'

4. DoubleClick your network adaptor under 'Network Adapters'

5. In the new window, select the 'Advanced' tab

6. Select 'Connection Type' and select the correct type for your card and then Reboot

REMOVE ANNOYING DELETE CONFIRMATION MESSAGES

Although not strictly a performance tweak I love this fix as it makes my machine 'feel' faster. I hate the annoying 'are you sure?' messages that XP displays, especially if I have to use a laptop touchpad to close them. To remove these messages:

1. Right-click on the 'Recycle Bin' on the desktop and then click 'Properties'

2. Clear the 'Display Delete Confirmation Dialog' check box and click 'Ok'

If you do accidently delete a file don't worry as all is not lost. Just go to your Recycle Bin and 'Restore' the file.

DISABLE PREFETCH ON LOW MEMORY SYSTEMS

Prefetch is designed to speed up program launching by preloading programs into memory - not a good idea is memory is in short supply, as it can make programs hang. To disable prefetch:

1. Click 'Start' then 'Run'

2. Type in 'Regedit' then click 'Ok'

3. Navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Cur rentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\ '

4. Right-click on "EnablePrefetcher" and set the value to '0'

5. Reboot.

PS : It is not required to apply all the changes. Apply what suits you...All the procedure defined are 100% safe....even then some how u managed to mess up something...i m not to be blamed....
