Sponsored Post: What is a network switch?

from Wikipedia “A network switch is a broad and imprecise marketing term for a computer networking device that connects network segments.

The term commonly refers to a Network bridge that processes and routes data at the Data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Switches that additionally process data at the Network layer (layer 3 and above) are often referred to as Layer 3 switches or Multilayer switches.

The term Network switch does not generally encompass unintelligent or passive network devices such as hubs and repeaters.

The first Ethernet switch was introduced by Kalpana in 1990.”

Windows Registry Check & Fix

By geeksecret 0 Comments
Categories: Software and Sponsored

An underlying area on all windows systems is called the registry. This is where all the IT boffs go to fix and tweak your windows system. It is easily accessible by clicking on “Start”, “Run” then type regedit.

from wikipedia “The Windows registry is a directory which stores settings and options for the operating system for Microsoft Windows . It contains information and settings for all the hardware, operating system software, most non-operating system software, users, preferences of the PC, etc. Whenever a user makes changes to Control Panelsettings, file associations, system policies, or most installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in the registry. The registry also provides a window into the operation of the kernel, exposing runtime information such as performance counters and currently active hardware. This use of registry mechanism is conceptually similar to the way that Sysfs and procfs expose runtime information through the file system (traditionally viewed as a place for permanent storage), though the information made available by each of them differs tremendously.

The Windows registry was introduced to tidy up the profusion of per-program  INI files that had previously been used to store configuration settings for Windows programs. These files tended to be scattered all over the system, which made them difficult to track.”

This company have made it easy to check and repair File Extension and File Format issues. These issues arise from uninstalling applications, unfortunately this process sometimes breaks File Extensions associations in the registry and leaves residue data behind.

Fortunately computerfileextensions.com have made scanning and repairing registry issues like File Extensions & File Formats easy with there award winning software, download it from here.

Wordpress Ease

Have you heard of wordpress?

If not “where have you been!”, if so “Great”

Wordpress is a great blog and publishing platform. It is easy to install, requires a MySql database, and takes no longer than 5 minutes to install. What a pleasure!

Designing the website is the next hurdle, previously it was a hurdle as a designer would need to be hired or it usually meant many hours of coding to get right. Well, not anymore, themes can be downloaded for free from many area including wordpress.org.

Plugins and widgets can be used to add extra functionality to your website, including stats, polls, image galleries, spam protection and more…. So your website is very flexible in this regard.

Updating the website was also previously a headache, but all it means with wordpress is, logging onto the wordpress dashboard and writing a post, cool hey!!

There are many themes available for many areas of interest, but most interesting is the move of wordpress into the CMS and business environment, adding real value to businesses but without looking like a blog or “old school” website. look at this example

Wordpress have gone one step further and introduced a multi user version called WPMU, it’s open source and allows you to host multiple blogs, form communities like bundublog.com and more…. more info here

As the “facebook” era is upon us. the Automattic team have also modified a WPMU install to be an “Open Source Social Networking Platform” called buddypress. This opens up many areas for business ideas but also allows WPMU users to add extra functionality to their current offering… get more info here

I hope that you found this post usefull - happy blogging

Robocopy - The robocop of file copy

By geeksecret 0 Comments
Categories: Software
Tags: , , ,

I have found a great tool for file copy, called Robocopy (Robust File Copy)

It is free and forms part of the Windows Resource Kit.

Why do i think it’s so great?

a. Run from command line or Gui interface for maximum flexibility.
b. Use to Mirror File systems for backup or disaster recovery.
c. Full logging of the file copy process - Important
d. Unlike DFS, which is un-reliable and has no real logging, Robocopy can be used to mirror data across sites. By using basic commands only copy changes across the line, only run at certain times, exclude files and more…
e. Copying files exactly including NTFS security.

Check out this document for full command line usage.

_____________________________________________

This Sample script below, forms the basis of my Robocopy scripts;

_____________________________________________

@Echo Off

:: Get system’s current date into multiple variables
if “%1″==”GoTo” goto %2
echo e180 BF 07 01 B4 04 CD 1A E8 02 00 89 CA E8 00 00> %temp%.\t1.src
echo e18F 86 D6 88 D0 D4 10 0D 30 30 86 C4 AB 47 C3>> %temp%.\t1.src
for %%? in (rip 180 g w q) do echo %%?>> %temp%.\t1.src
echo SET %%1=XX XX XX XX> %temp%.\t2.bat
DEBUG %temp%.\t2.bat < %temp%.\t1.src > nul
call %temp%.\t2.bat _
%0 GoTo parse %_% MM DD YC YY
:parse
set %5=%1
shift
if not “%5″==”" goto parse
for %%? in (t1.src t2.bat) do del %temp%.\%%?
set _=
set date1=%DD%%MM%%YY%

robocopy “C:\test” “h:\test” /E /COPYALL /V /XO /NP /LOG:”c:\%date1%robocopylog.txt” /Z /R:10 /W:30 /purge /XF *.pst
