For example, if you want to shut down your computer after an hour you can give a command in the command windows:

"shutdown -s -t 3600"

-s for shutdown
-r for restart
-t for time

In Windows XP the procedure is:

1. Start –> Run

2. Type the command with the time in seconds

3. Let the computer shut down

There is another option to schedule shutdown by Task Scheduler in the Control Panel.

FireBug

I recently read Kelvin Newman’s “Are we ignoring the Golden Age of SEO” post here, and I agree, technical knowledge is important within the field of SEO and can’t be ignored. Firebug goes someway to addressing these concerns by putting a wealth of development tools at your fingertips. You can monitor CSS, view HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page and it can even help you see how long pages take to load and what may be causing the slow loading times. Absolutely essential for web developers and very handy for knowledge hungry SEO’s.

The new version has a new default theme called Twenty Ten. Now, WordPress and WordPress MU is merged to offer multi-site feature.

The new version looks good enough and it has proved again that the functionality and usability of wordpress can’t be beaten easily.

Here are some of the reason professional web hosting services are better than a home server to host a website:

• They are professional and they have usually have dedicated person 24/7 to rectify any errors that can happen in the servers.
• The electricity bills – You need to have the computer running 24/7 and hence the cost is going to be much more than a typical hosting.
• Most ISPs disallow webserving. You have to call them and confirm that making your computer a server in their network is allowed.
  The traffic usage of a web-server is significantly different then that of a normal user as the upload is a lot more than download. Not telling them is out of question.
• You are offering no redundancy at all. If your computer dies, you don’t have the website – it is as simple as that.
• Are you placing it in 24/7 air-condition. Computers are likely to overheat without being in air-condition and left on 24/7.
• What is the upload speed of your internet connection ? Usually for a general residential line, upload and download speeds are different. Most ISPs provide very low upload speeds when compared to download speed. At this rate, a few users can flood your upload line and cause your site to be inaccessible to the other users. Site load time is usually very slow.

I have already posted about the software for Facebook photo mass downloader FacePad and Flickr Downloader. Now, it is time for Picasa.

I wish there were a single tool to to automatically download all the photos in a Picasa, Flickr, Facebook and any other online albums — for free of course.

Picasa Downloader is a tool to download Picasa photo albums. If you don’t want to install the program, there is a portable version of the software too.

In this tool you can provide the username and it lists all the albums of the user and you can download selected albums or all the albums at once. Just make sure that there are not many photos in the albums. Some albums may contain 1000s of photos and will take forever to download them.

It doesn’t show the number of photos in the album before it starts downloading. I wish there were a cancel and a pause button too.

Anyways, it is a great tool to download photos.

Google refusal to censor search content has led it to leave china and redirect Chinese search to servers in Hong Kong. But the latest report suggest that China has started blocking the Google site in mainland China.

China has always opted to censor information. Being a huge country and huge economics nobody specially businesses could challenge the official stand on freedom of information. The government doesn’t want search results that gives Chinese community the anti-China results.

In recent years china has been censoring contents in almost every websites – specially the ones favoring Free Tibet campaign and other activities that is not in interests of Chinese government.

In almost every major Chinese cities, users reported that trying to access Google searches returned an error page. It began at around 5pm on Tuesday. Although it was still possible to access Google’s websites, searches on any topic delivered an error message.

Google was unable to immediately confirm the cause of the problem, but said it was investigating. Chinese internet users blamed the "Great Firewall" for blocking Google searches. Google’s email services were unaffected.

In addition, Google said its mobile search has been partially blocked in China, leaving mobile phone users unable to use the Google search function.

The developments suggest that the Chinese government is preparing to make its move against Google, after the company moved the servers of its search engine to Hong Kong last week to avoid censorship.

The Chinese government has instructed to “… remove text, images, sound and video that supports Google.”

Well, that was not the case when I last used WP-SuperCache in the Dreamhost VPS. I don’t know much inside details but Dreamhosters need to find an alternative when WordPress Cache is concerned. Mine didn’t crash but there are reports of such things happening like this one.

For my sites I found Hyper Cache does some justification in reducing the server load. There should be others but I haven’t tried them. Please comment your experience if you have experienced such problems.
