The following hack makes firefox 3 go from a normal v6 engine to a screamin v8 with unlimited horsepower.  Use at your own risk, this will increase productivity!

1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.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 www.git acts on information it recieves.

Replace keywords with whatever file you want.

“keywords” intext:rapidshare.com/files/ OR intext:megaupload.com/?d= OR intext:sendspace.com/file/

Isn’t it a pain in the ass to have to press the >> continuation buttons to get those important bookmarks/rss feeds you have on the bookmarks toolbar?

We’ll here’s an easy solution that involves editing your userchrome.css in %APPDATA%\mozilla\firefox\profiles\XXXXX.default\chrome\userChrome.css

Simply add this bit of CSS and you will have a multi line bookmarks toolbar that wraps.

/* Multi-row bookmarks toolbar */
#bookmarksBarContent {display:block !important;}
.places-toolbar-items {display:block !important; height: 48px !important;
overflow-y:auto!important;}
#bookmarksBarContent toolbarseparator {display:inline !important;}
#bookmarksBarContent .bookmark-item {visibility: visible !important;}
.chevron {height: 0px !important;}

It means your system is out of memory! DOH!  Took me a while to figure this one out.

In order to backup MySQL database in windows, we need to make a batch file.  The contents of the batch file should be as follows:

o—–

@echo off
echo Running dump…
c:
cd \
cd “wampp2″
cd mysql
cd bin
mysqldump -u<user> -<pass> –all-databases –result-file=”c:\data\backup.%DATE:~0,3%.sql”
echo Done!

0—–

Okay now that our batch file is made we can run it and verify that it created an output .sql file in c:\data\

If it did, let’s schedule it so it runs once a day.  To schedule a task in Windows I prefer to use the commandline “AT” command.

So let’s open a command prompt and type:

c:\> at 02:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S,Su c:\data\backup.bat

This is a self explanatory command.  It will automatically run our new backup batch file every day at 2:00.
