Easy way to do screen captures/shots

On May 1, 2008, in screenshot, tech, windows, windows addons, by Kishore
If you already use a good tool to do screen captures, you can pretty much ignore this and checkout this good alternative

As with all the emphasis on knowledge sharing and stuff. I have been trying to put all the important items into shared documents/wiki on sharepoint for Horizon.
And one of first frustating points about this is being forced to type lot’s of text. I hate typing lots of text/more than being forced to go through it. I naturally prefer screen shots (with the belief a picture’s worth a thousand words). Which in turn made me realize how basic the windows PrintScreen button is.

After a bit of research I came across this nice tool

Gadwin Printscreen 4.3 which lets you take screen shots of
  • Whole Screen
  • Active WIndow
  • A Custom Square…
  • Save them to a pre-determined location…
  • Open them up for preview

All at a touch of a button with little initial configuration. Give it a go.. it’s very neat…

I’ve downloaded it and placed in H:\eBusiness Team\Software\Screen Capture\PrintScreen43_Setup.exe

check it out..

Windows Readyboost on XP with EBoostr – Initial Review – Part 2

On May 1, 2008, in tech, windows, windows addons, by Kishore
Well well… Between a long dinner with friends and late night cricket match.. I was able to squeez in an hour to give eBoostr a whirl ..

I used a San Disk 4 GB U3 Cruiser (‘Windows Readyboost Ready’ USB dongle from OfficeWorks). I allocated all the 4GB for caching file.

1. It significaly speeds up switching between applications when you have multiple applications running. I had Eclipse, Visual Studio, Firefox, Photoshop open at the same time and switching was pretty fast, under 1 sec if I had to be specific. But this is no real test as I had them open for only half an hour.

2. It had this nice cache viewer, which revealed all the files being cached and you can exclude certain files like MP3 and stuff from being cached. That was nice and I could see that half my cache is filled with current files being indexed by ‘Windows Search’ plugin.. crap.
I will probably put it through the grind this weekend and come up with more info on this.

Windows ReadyBoost on XP

On May 1, 2008, in ram, review, tech, windows, by Kishore
One of the best things about vista I liked is it’s ability to speed up the system using a USB memory. (Windows ReadyBoost). It uses it as the RAM(or a PageFile) to significantly speed up the system.
Now we have the ability to do the same thing in XP. Check eBoostr

I’m gonna give it a try this evening .. See how it goes…
