Anything less then not feeling good about your work isn't working with Technology isn't it?

So it's not just about technology isn't it?

Disable Hibernation in Windows Vista

I was looking for this option for quite sometime... Specially because I don't use Hibernate option, farther it use a 2GB space on my hard-drive (my laptop has 2GB ram).

It is funny that there is no longer an option to turn hibernation off from the Power Options in Control Panel.

But besides the Disk Cleanup method to disable the Hibernation. I found another way using the console :

powercfg –H off

Tool of the day Process Tamar

Crawing after some new cool tools I discover this tiny app today.

Process Tamer is a tiny (140k) and super efficient utility for Microsoft Windows XP/2K/NT that runs in your system tray and constantly monitors the cpu usage of other processes. When it sees a process that is overloading your cpu, it reduces the priority of that process temporarily, until its cpu usage returns to a reasonable level.

There are many times when a process will hog your cpu, such as when converting audio/video files, or working with compressed archives. Because these processes completely consume the cpu, your system becomes sluggish to respond and using the computer for other tasks becomes impossible while these processes are running.

Process Tamer solves this problem by identifying such these degenerate conditions and temporarily reducing the priority of the offending processes in order to allow your system to respond to other requests. Stop being a victim to an overloaded cpu - let Process Tamer keep your system responsive no matter what you're doing.

It is VERY risky to “play” with process’ priority, however this tool seem to work pretey good on my machine, farther it perform well on Vista RC1.

Note: Do NOT try to debug with this tool
