No so long ago I decided to create FTP site for my home local area network. I wanted to read and write files not via file sharing but via File Transfer Protocol (FTP). I had Windows 8 Home Edition on my PC. So this PC became server for my FTP site. (more...)

When I first started Putty on my Windows 8.1 x64, connected to my server and ran Midnight Commander, I saw picture like this (see drawing 1). Instead of separating lines there were unreadable characters. It wasn't what I expected to see and the first thing came in my mind is to fix it.  (more...)

When you work in Excel with large tables, for example, price list, sometimes while scrolling you forget what columns you are watching. To make more comfortable work with tables you can fix position of cells (row or column) so that other cells to be scrolled and the cells with names are fixed. (more...)

Using PowerShell it's rather easy to find information list. In messages about denied access (especially in custom SharePoint solutions) you can see in URL ID of denided list.

So, for example, we have a list of Borussia Dortmund players. We know id in list, Name of player, his Lastname and date of birth (Figure  1). (more...)

Using Google AdSense panel I saw that google gives only 3 stars of 5 available.  My self-esteem warmed up because I want five stars 🙂 So I’ll tell about it. (more...)

While editing chunk in ModX CMS all the quotes  became with extra backslashes.

<div id="item1">Item 1 </div>

But after pressing button Save code became like this with extra backslashes:

<div id=\"item1\">Item 1 </div>

Once I need to install more memory on my server. The server was installed long ago and nobody knows what memory is installed there and whether there are free slots for memory. (more...)

For example, I need to make list like this:

My list items

- item1
- item2
- item3

Here's a nice way to make list with dashes. (more...)
