i'm up on the apex of a warehouse roof under a threatening black sky with a hole in the clouds shining light onto the screen of a netbook that i've plugged into the console port of an outdoor wap. it's windy, cold, my shoes only have just enough grip on the iron and i'm already pissed at having to be up there fixing the wap in the first place.
windows 7 doesnt have hyperterm, but that's ok cause i'd downloaded a copy onto the desktop. except between that and a usb serial port the data doesn't show on the console straight away and hyperterm is just being a dick. thoughts of having to send the wap back to the supplier or take it down and break into its seal for the slight chance there might be an internal reset button are suddenly put to rest by www.portableapps.com and putty on my key ring usb stick. i'd just managed to break the boot process to put the wap into a recovery mode - mission accomplished as the rest can be done indoors - and it starts raining.

TestDisk & PhotoRec (2 apps, one package). TestDisk can recover lost partitions, while PhotoRec can recover files from drives when the partition data has been lost.
Saves shit when a lot of other things cant, and open source. |

GODDAMN!!! I knew there had to be a better way to search in Windows 7.
Useful for the chronically ignorant that's wondering where the "advanced search" section wandered off to: http://www.howtogeek.com/73065/learn...-in-windows-7/

Yeah, I know there's third-party tools, but learning the Advanced Query Syntax means I can rock up to any PC and search it. I don't need to install anything, no need to faff about with USB flash drives etc.

and to be honest I didn't put in my "usual" FTP username and password for that ftp test website (but *almost* did before thinking "..nah"). I found it because I am having issues getting secure FTP working with my synology NAS (no idea why yet) and wanted a quick diagnostic. |

These are my must-haves
TCC/LE - cmd.exe replacement. A godsend, if only for allowing ctrl-v/ctrl-c copy/pasting, and also shift-insert pasting. I used to use Console2 on top of it, which allows for multible tabbed command prompts, but that doesn't work within Win7 x64. TCC/LE has a lot more functionality but I like it for the ease of pasting. AutoHotkey. I don't do anything fancy with it, but use windowskey + a to either start a TCC/LE window, or bring the out-of-focus TCC/LE window to the front. Also use things to type in oft-repeated strings, eg windows key + 3 to send my TACACS user/password and press enter, to log into network kit. NotePad++ - huge improvement on Notepad.exe Oh yeah and Putty Connection Manager, because I can't be arsed remembering the 200+ mgmt IPs for our estate. |

Anyone into newsgroup downloading?
I discovered sick-beard today, a nifty set of python scripts that automatically downloads new tv eps for you, integrates with sabnzbd, newzbin, etc. Just beats the built in sabnzbd scripting by miles. *forgot to mention, altho its a set of python scripts, it provides a really nice web interface to manage it all. |

I like to keep a simple dynamic desktop on my work PC that tells me the time and date at a glance. Rainmeter can do a whole bunch of stuff that can just about replace your desktop / taskbar and turn it into a writhing mess of CPU meters, RSS rolls and weather reports... if you're into that. Me, I just dont like the Taskbar clock and wanted something I can quickly glance at with [Windows Key] + [Spacebar].
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nryzwwtxt9g84m2/nPbngRdAlM Lots of customization to be had. I edited these skins so they centre to the screen whatever the resolution. Skins can be Always ontop, with transparency options, click through-able and such.
