A few tips on speeding up boot on an XP install.

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

1. Remove all spyware. Use SpyBotSeek&Destroy, SuperAntiSpyware & AVG Free
2. Defrag & Checkdisk. Diskeeper er Just plane old Right Click Drive => Tools => Defrag/Checkdisk
3. Msconfig (For removing startup items) & Microsoft Bootvis (Debug M$ boots: Read More) are your friends. Kill all the stuff that is slowing down the boot.
4. Remove everything from the desktop (Hundreds of items on the desktop slow the puter down).
5. Microsofts Sysinternals Suite - Use ProcessExplorer (to see more about what is running), Autoruns (Easy way to see whats auto starting), TCPView (See if anything is contacting home…), RootkitRevealer (if all else fails).
6. Update OS , Browsers, & Firewall Settings.

SIMBL - tabssh in osx ( named tabs mod for terminal.app )

Friday, June 26th, 2009

1. Get SIMBL
2. Get Terminal.app Tab Namer place in “/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins”
3. PUT this script named (tabssh) into your path && perms 755::
#! /bin/sh
# titleterm - tell the Mac OS X Terminal application to change its name
# to the value specified as an argument to this succinct script.
# To use this to show your current working directory, for example:
# alias precmd 'titleterm "$PWD"' [tcsh]
# or
# export PROMPT_COMMAND=”titleterm \”\$PWD\”" [bash]
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
echo “Usage: $0 title” >&2
exit 1
else
echo -ne “\033]0;$1\007″ && ssh $1
fi
exit 0

Yea this dose not work so well in SL so I recommend using Command + Shift + I to rename tabs.
