Top Secret GodMode in Win7

Tech January 8th, 2010

In Window 7, create a new folder and rename it to:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Wow, now in that folder, we have now a lot of useful shortcuts!

Great!

Recently  I have bought an ancient IBM T20 laptop :D from the Internet. And after trying with the latest Ubuntu 9.10 linux, I feel that it seems to be quite heavy for my ancient laptop to run it smoothly (700MHz, RAM 256MB ). Therefore I come to Puppy Linux.

Here are some tips I got after working around about 2 hours:

1- You may meet the problem is that the pupply live CD can not recognize any HDD (like my IBM T20) so you can not go on to the next steps to install puppy.

=> You may have to install  Special puppies. Puppy 430 kenel 2.6.21.7 works well for my IBM.

pup-430-k2.6.21.7-scsi-intel_modems.iso 102.8MB This is built with an even older kernel. The 2.6.21.7 kernel goes back to Puppy 3.x. This kernel does not have the libata drivers so recognises IDE drives as /dev/hd*. This build will recognise and boot from SCSI drives and has the Intel 536/537 modem drivers.

Download it here:

ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/puppy-4.3.1/special-puppies/

Then just follow these posts:

Good luck!

Battery life is a common topic for laptop users. I have read many many posts about how to prolong a laptop battery life. Here are most popular tips that I know.

0 – If you want to use your A.C./D.C power (use power directly from a charger) you may consider these steps:

  • Charge your battery full 100%
  • Unplug charger
  • Use battery power until I has about 45-50% life left.
  • Turn off your laptop (certainly) and remove your battery (and pls keep the placeholder of the batter clean + dry :D )
  • Place the battery in a cool place.
  • Use your A.C/D.C power

Someone said that “Never remove a fully charged battery from laptop for a period over well about 1 month, because your battery will not be able to be charged again”. I have not test this tip yet, so I am not sure it is true or not.

1 – Keep your battery working in a cool place (at least < 30*C) (Li-on battery is also a chemical battery, it reacts to heat).

2 – Do not charge your batter until the battery has just 5-10% life left.

3- Turn off unnecessary functions as much as you can (blue-tooth, wifi… when you don’t use them)

4 – Using Linux OS (advanced config).

Most of these tips come from my favorite post: http://www.trap17.com/index.php/Pro-long-Laptop-Battery-Life_t64414.html

iFun with Google Street View

I have just watched a video of Google on Youtube about its latest announcements for desktop and mobile search. Watch it here. Wow! Those functions are so awesome, but I can not try all of them now due to my “so so high tech” cell phone. Too bad I don’t have any Android phone or iphone…

Watching this news gives me a source of inspiration for playing around with this big G man! And here are some photos from Google Street View (—^).
