My microphone under Windows 7 didn’t work since I installed the OS, I tried to update the sound driver for one compatible with Windows 7, an official driver I got from ASUS website, but it didn’t solve the problem. Only today i got the genius idea of uninstalling the official driver & guess what? Windows 7 default driver is way better!
I’m playing with my new VPS hosting & trying doing some tasks through SSH; but before being able to do this, I had to setup my SSH connection.
a. 1st thing you need to do is to create a SSH certificate in your server, I did this in my cPanel / WHM. Just browse around to find SSH icon, then the Generate a New Key link.

.tar.gz are two extensions & not one, which means this kind of files are created using two processes (& probably two tools).

Just a quick thing about an article I read yesterday on Download.com Blog called Windows Starter Kit listing a lot of very useful freewares in various fields, I had already some installed & I have alternatives for others or just don’t need them. So from the list I only downloaded & installed two programs: Process Explorer & Launchy.
I don’t know about you, but for me this shortcut is really frustrating, I never use it but I often hit it by mistake while typing something & lose everything I wrote.
Hmmm, a lot of ideas but rare time to post here … anyways, back to to topic, RapidShare.com has an upload limit of 100 mb but often the uploaded files are much bigger, packing them in split archive files allows that .. the problem is when you want to download a file of a few gigabytes (split to 10s of files) & all the links are just textual which means you can’t just click on them to start your download, but you have to copy then paste them on your browser’s address bar one by one.

I went searching again to find a link to “Dr. DivX”, one problem is that the doctor was away! Damn him!
