Speed up your Firefox Performance

What Browser you use to surf internet? Still stick with IE? I use Mozilla for some year after first i try till' now...i convenience to use it with multiple tabs, some cool add-ons, theme and many more feature provided, it faster too....For IE user, try to use Firefox with some cool add-ons, y'all must feel the different!
Ok, For Firefox user here i want to give some cool tips for tweak your Firefox. No need software or complex method, just follow this step:

• 1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
  
  network.http.pipeliningnetwork.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
  
  Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

• 2. Alter the entries as follows:
  Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

• 3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it"nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

Thats a little tweak from DailyGeeks.....try yourself! Trust Firefox!

Website::Add small picture beside url address

.........Thats call Favicon...
When you visit a website like Google or Yahoo, you might notice their personal icon in the far left of the address bar. This is called a Favicon, and it is incredibly simple to create your own for your personal webpage. Following these steps will further personalize your website, as well as give it a more professional feel.

Steps: 
1. Secure access to your site's root directory through FTP (this may be the root directory of the server itself, or your user root directory if the server hosts multiple sites). You can use SmartFTP or any other method of your choosing. 
2. Example: To access the root directory of www.awesomesite.com through FTP, first open My Computer or any folder in Windows. 
3. The image must be a 16x16 pixel square. Use any graphics program such as Paint, GIMP, Photoshop, or (my favorite) freeware Irfanview. Just about all graphic programs allow you to crop an image to a square. Only a few have the save as ".ico" option. Particularly, if you want to use Photoshop you will have to install a plugin like the free "ICO (Windows Icon) Format" Photoshop plugin at http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/ to be able to work with ".ico" files. You can create your favicon at a size of 32 by 32 pixels and it will still work, but keep in mind that most browsers will reduce it to a 16 by 16 pixels image before showing it in the address bar or bookmarks/favorites. Knowing this it may be prudent to just start with a 16 by 16 pixels image to retain control of how the final image displays. Irfanview allows you to take just about any image in any format, crop it square, reduce the size to 16 by 16 pixels, and then save it as a favicon ".ico". 
4. If you have a square image that you would like to use as a favicon then you might consider using a tool like Chami's "FavIcon from Pics" tool or other similar, free tools. If you don't have a photo or other image to use then begin a new image that is 16 pixels by 16 pixels. The complexity of your original icon is restricted to your own creativity and your knowledge of the image program you are using. 
5. Save it in a safe place, being sure to name your icon 'favicon.ico'. This is the only way browsers will be able to display your icon in the address bar. It MUST have that exact name. 
6. Open your site's root directory. 
7. Copy your icon and Paste it into your root directory. Your favicon should go in the same folder as the page that users first see when they browse to your site (usually called index.htm(l) or default.htm(l), but this may be different on your server). 
8. Close your folder. 
9. Refresh your website in your own browser. The browser should search for the FAV icon and display it. 


Alternate Method 

1. Create a folder as opposed to a file, in the web page folder of your html editor. This folder must be called favicon.ico 
2. Create a folder on your desktop, and name it something like Icon. Go to icon download sites on the internet using say, Google, and download some icons you might like to use (right click/'save image as'/save to desktop/Icon folder). For practice, an icon with a strong recognizable outline might be best. 
3. Use free download Irfanview (or comparable program) to adjust the size, color depth and extension of your icon. Put Irfanview in your desktop/Icon/folder. Open any downloaded icon or graphic in Irfanview from desktop icon folder. Click Image/Resize and resample. Type width 16 and height 16 pixels/OK. Open Image again and click Decrease color depth. Click 16 colors/OK. Open Options/Set file associations/check ico/OK. Open File/'Save As'/Binary encoding/Save transparent color and then 'save as' to desktop/Icon folder. Will name it for reference PieEye. 
4. Download the free program IconEdit32 or equivalent to fill and color your icon and put in Icon desktop folder. Open IconEdit32 click the 16 color box on right side. Open 'PieEye.ico' A small sample is shown on right. So for instance, any square one wants transparent, click transparent on the bottom right and fill in squares. Ditto to change colors. When done 'Save As'/ to your html favicon.ico folder in your html editor from the first step. 
* A means to add extra colors to the icons one works with in IconEdit32 is: open a downloaded icon or graphic on some kind of paint program (not Microsoft Paint). Paint a few extra colors on the corners and save in Desktop/Icon. Using Irfanview, resize, decrease color, set ico extension and 'Save As'. Open in IconEdit and you will have more colors to work with. 
5. Create an address on your html home page. Between the and copy inexactly. This may place the icon on all your address bar web pages. If only home page, may have to place on each page. 
6. Open your FTP transfer. Open your favicon.ico web page folder. Transfer or slide your favicon file (not folder), in this case PieEye.ico, over to your on-line web pages on the server. Next find the PieEye.ico file on the server, not your local html file, and change name PieEye.ico to favicon.ico - Depending on the browser, may have save home page to bookmarks to make it active. 


Separate icons on different pages of the same website 

1. Create folder called 'whatever' in your web page folder of your html editor. This is separate from the favicon.ico folder. 
2. Put into this folder the appropriate icon.ico files like PieEye. Transfer Folder 'whatever' to FTP server. On the individual html page between the put in where 'whatever' is the name of the folder and 'Daffy' is the name of the ico file. This should cause favicon 'Daffy' to apply to this page only. You may also try if you encounter problems with the aforementioned link tag. 
* The server-side favicon.ico file remains, and should cover all other pages. 
* Can individualize as many pages as desired. 
* Icons can be tricky so if one has problems perhaps consult Google. 


Tips 
* Even though your icon will be very small, be sure that other people can easily read/understand it. 
* 16x16 pixels is a standard size for small icons. This means that you can import already made icons from programs or off the web. 
* Speed it up with Linux! To avoid step 6, just choose an appropriate picture, open your command line, navigate to the directory where you store the pic and type: "convert picture.png -resize 16x16! favicon.ico" (replace picture.png with your pic's filename)done :-) 
* If you do not have access to ftp as in step 3, simply go to www.dynamicdrive.com, then look in the left pane near the top, under tools. There will be a favicon generator there which really is quite simple. 
* Using an icon editor like Digitope Pixelshop to create the favicon is better that a regular photo editor as icons are not simply small pictures, but are a special format. 

Warnings 

* Although you have created your favicon successfully, not everyone who visits your site will see it. Only Internet Explorer versions 5.0+ display favicons, as well as Netscape 7.0+, Opera 7.0+, and Firefox. Older browsers simply do not display your icon. Also, for a favicon to display in the address bar of Internet Explorer versions 5.0+ the page must first be saved as a favorite. Then it will show up the next time you click on the favorite or hand type in the URL in the address bar. There have also been issues with getting Safari to show favicons as well.

Unused space on hard drives recovered?

Yeah....believe what you saw in this article..This is the interesting thing to know, and interesting post i do.....I have see it in a thread one of the local forum, after i search about it i've found the site which elaborate bout this....So i read and i present it here...if you wanna proof, just believe and try to do it....!!

* UPDATE Does this work? We're not going to try it on our own machine thank you very much. Instead, we're waiting for a call from a hard d

rive company so we can get its take on these claims.

** UPDATE II A representative for large hard drive distributor Bell Micro said: "This is NOT undocumented and we have done this in the past to load an image of the original installation of the software. When the client corrupted the o/s we had a boot floppy thatopened the unseen partition and copied it to the active or seen partition. It is a not a new feature or discovery. We use it ourselves without any qualms".

*** UPDATE III See the letters column today, here.

Required items
Ghost 2003 Build 2003.775 (Be sure not to allow patching of this software) 2 X Hard Drives (OS must be installed on both.) For sake of clarity we will call the drive we are trying to expand (T) in this document (means Target for partition recover). The drive you use every day, I assume you have one that you want to keep as mater with your current OS and data, will be the last dive we install in this process and will be called (X) as it is your original drive.

1. Install the HDD you wish to recover the hidden partitions (hard drive T) on as the master drive in your system with a second drive as a slave (you can use Hard Drive X if you want to). Any drive will do as a slave since we will not be writing data to it. However, Ghost must see a second drive in order to complete the following steps. Also, be sure hard drive T has an OS installed on it You must ensure that the file system type is the same on both drive (NTFS to NTFS or FAT32 to FAT32, etc)

2. Install Ghost 2003 build 2003.775 to hard drive T with standard settings. Reboot if required.

3. Open Ghost and select Ghost Basic. Select Backup from the shown list of options. Select C: (this is the drive we want to free partition on on hard drive T) as our source for the backup. Select our second drive as the target. (no data will be written so worry not). Use any name when requested as it will not matter. Press OK, Continue, or Next until you are asked to reboot.

Critical step
4. Once reboot begins, you must shutdown the PC prior to the loading of DOS or any drivers. The best method is to power down the PC manually the moment you see the BIOS load and your HDDs show as detected.

5. Now that you have shutdown prior to allowing Ghost to do its backup, you must remove the HDD we are attempting to expand (hard drive T which we had installed as master) and replace it with a drive that has an OS installed on it. (This is where having hard drive X is useful. You can use your old hard drive to complete the process.) Place hard drive T as a secondary drive in the system. Hard drive X should now be the master and you should be able to boot into the OS on it. The best method for this assuming you need to keep data from and old drive is:

Once you boot into the OS, you will see that the second drive in the system is the one we are attempting to expand (hard drive T). Go to Computer Management -> Disk Management

You should see an 8 meg partition labeled VPSGHBOOT or similar on the slave HDD (hard drive T) along with a large section of unallocated space that did not show before. DO NOT DELETE VPSGHBOOT yet.

6. Select the unallocated space on our drive T and create a new primary or extended partition. Select the file system type you prefer and format with quick format (if available). Once formatting completes, you can delete the VPSGHBOOT partition from the drive.

7. Here is what you should now see on your T drive.

a. Original partition from when the drive still had hidden partitions
b. New partition of space we just recovered.
c. 8 meg unallocated partitions.

8. Do you want to place drive T back in a PC and run it as the primary HDD? Go to Disk Management and set the original partition on T (not the new one we just formatted) to and Active Partition. It should be bootable again if no data corruption has occurred.

Caution
Do not try to delete both partitions on the drive so you can create one large partition. This will not work. You have to leave the two partitions separate in order to use them. Windows disk management will have erroneous data in that it will say drive size = manus stated drive size and then available size will equal ALL the available space with recovered partitions included.

This process can cause a loss of data on the drive that is having its partitions recovered so it is best to make sure the HDD you use is not your current working HDD that has important data. If you do this on your everyday drive and not a new drive with just junk on it, you do so at your own risk. It has worked completely fine with no loss before and it has also lost the data on the drive before. Since the idea is to yield a huge storage drive, it should not matter.

Interesting results to date!!!:
Western Digital 200GB SATA
Yield after recovery: 510GB of space

IBM Deskstar 80GB EIDE
Yield after recovery: 150GB of space

Maxtor 40GB EIDE
