    Cloudflare Review : It really saves bandwidth and Boosts up Page Speed! Highly Recommended- Cloudflare CDN

    Recently, i was looking for ways to increase the speed of my WordPress blog,while searching i came across this thing – Cloudflare CDN and i decided to apply it on my blog, and to my surprise the results were amazing! Cloudflare not only did increase my Page Speed but also it saved a hell lot of Bandwidth required by my Server/hosting . Indirectly it saved the day! for me, So here’s a Real User experience or Cloudflare review.

    Review of Cloudflare – Unique Features 

    Free and Amazing CDN which increases Speed – Cloudflare is one of those only few CDN or Content Delivery Networks which provides its services for free! The Content Delivery Networks help in increasing the Speed by providing a sort of “online cache”.Thus saving the time and resources required for executing the scripts on the server , instead they are run once and are cached thus saving the resources and reducing the loading time :).

    Cloudflare Saves a Lot of Bandwidth! – This may not be of much importance for Big site owners, but for small self-hosted blogs like mine,Bandwidth is an important factor – As completion of bandwidth quota will simply make the site unavailable and negatively impacting the SEO. The Cloudflare CDN stores the basic page cache on its server thus ensuring the Server resources and Bandwidth are conserved most of the time,ensuring proper Resource utilization.

    Site is always online and Positive SEO Impact – Due to Cloudflare’s always Online Technology, your site is assured of being always Up in the Cloudflare’s cache thus preventing the SEO penalties due to the Bouncing links/Server unavailability at the same time ensuring Users will always get their required content .

    Protecting against Bots / DDoS and other type of attacks [Threat Control] – Cloudflare CDN Network also protects from Blacklisted IP addresses which are known to produce Spam, thus preventing you from Spam . The Cloudflare Servers act as a shield when hackers attack your site through the methods and provides an effective Protection against threats such as DDoS,hotlinking,and Bandwidth leech etc.

    Awesome Cloudflare Apps – Besides providing protection,increasing speeds of page loading,and conserving bandwidth the Cloudflare CDN provides a gallery of awesome apps which you can add to your site,which can add additional functionalities and may even generate extra revenue for you . For e.g Cloudflare Apps – Slider,Infolinks,Viglink can easily be added to earn extra income from site without annoying the visitors . Besides these there are also additional utility apps available such as Dome9,CrowdCurity,CodeGuard,Instaflare,Google Webmasters etc Just to name a few.

    Besides these the Cloudflare also contains an inbuilt Dashboard for Site Analytics which you can use to monitor the visitors,their location etc . And as these elements do not use any Scripts like Google Analytics/Awstats/Jetpack they are even more accurate and precise giving you an exact view of the Website Performance and Bounce rates. Regarding the Adsense things its still Up-And-Down so i am yet unable to figure out whether it increased my earnings or not. But one thing is for sure,it did increase my Rankings :).

    So , Cloudflare is simply a boon for bloggers, infact the Bandwidth of my blog would have been over had it not for Cloudflare! as it saved 70% of my Bandwidth 🙂 . If you still have any doubts and queries regarding Cloudflare do comment, we would be happy to answer them 🙂

  • Install/Run Old 16-bit/32-bit Software on 64-bit PC/OS | Compatibility Guide – Install Windows 7 Software on Windows 8/8.1

    Install/Run Old 16-bit/32-bit Software on 64-bit PC/OS | Compatibility Guide – Install Windows 7 Software on Windows 8/8.1

    Many times we come across scenarios where we look for backward compatibility in order to run Legacy/Old Software’s on our Newer PCs or OSs . or may be we need to Run the 32-bit or 16-bit Software’s on our Newer Machines . e.g Installing Windows 7 Software on Windows 8, Installing Windows Xp Software on Windows 8.1 etc,installing 32 bit software on 64 bit os . This Compatibility Guide will cover all these Compatibility issues.

    Compatibility Issue 1 : 16-bit Softwares on 64-bit OS (e.x Old Dos Games and Softwares on New Windows 7/8/8.1 64bit OS)

    This Compatibility constraint is the most widely experienced and most searched after Compatibility issue , while running the Old Native DOS based games and apps, on 64bit OS these app simply do not get executed and display a warning message such as “This app can’t run on your PC” . The solution / fix to this problem is pretty simple – Using DosBox to mount and run these old 16bit apps, infact the apps Run as smoothly as if they were Running on Native environment e.x Windows 95/98, such is the high quality emulation provided by Dosbox. I searched and searched throughout the Internet for DosBox alternatives, but the closest thing i found similar to DosBox is DosBox Itself! . To run your Software through Dosbox, simply install the Turbo C installer from this Post ,Now drag and drop your .exe which is to be opened on the DosBox.exe icon present in the “C:\TurboC4\Techapple.Net” folder, and your 16bit app will directly Run in 64 bit Windows!

    Compatibility Issue 2 :  Older Operating System Software on Newer OS (Windows XP or Windows 7 software installation on Windows 8/8.1)

    This is another big Compatibility issue faced by most of Us, and the Solution too is quite Simply according to the Problem . If you are facing the error while launching the setup file, simply Right-click the .exe file, or a shortcut to the .exe file, and select Properties. Click the Compatibility tab. Then check Run this program in compatibility mode for and select an appropriate option according to the OS it was built for. Then try launching the Setup again , it should get installed 🙂  Check the alongside image for more details. Or if it’s giving the problems after installing try the above mentioned Compatibility method along with the “Run as Administrator” which appears after right clicking on the Icon . i.e Executing the program as Administrator. You can also add the tick in the Checkbox in the Compatibility tab to enable “Run as Administrator” Option.

    Compatibility Issue 3 : Installing Running 32-bit Software in 64 bit

    Generally, all the 32-bit software work well by default in 64-bit Operating Systems , but some legacy Softwares give errors, or simply won’t function properly 🙁 . The reason behind one is quite trivial One – All the 32-bit Softwares are installed in the directory “Program Files(x86)” And they are simply tuned and designed to work with their directory as “Program Files”  so the solution here is quite simple, At the installation time simply change/edit the installation directory to “Program Files” along with the generated installation directory and as i found out here while installing VB6 on windows 8.1 , It will work like magic! along with the above mentioned Run as Administrator/Compatibilty Tweak 🙂

     

    I was able to solve all my Compatibility issues using the above 3 Tweaks, and yes if the Old Beast can still run on Newer Machines so why should we replace it 🙂 ? .And if even all the above 3 fail we always have the Option of Virtual Machine and installing OS on it which though lengthy always works, so Enjoy your favourite legacy and Old Softwares with the above mentioned tricks, and if in case Some Software still doesn’t run simply Comment, we would be glad to help!

  • Whatsapple – unOfficial Whatsapp Client for PC | Use Whatsapp On PC without Android emulators!

    Whatsapple – unOfficial Whatsapp Client for PC | Use Whatsapp On PC without Android emulators!

    Whatsapp is the most leading app being downloaded on the Apple iStore,Google Play Store and Nokia store , thus its one of the most leading medium of communication and instant messaging. but many people still cannot afford those smartphones or may want to use whatsapp on PC /Windows/Linux/Mac , though there are workarounds such as installing an android emulator (e.x bluestacks,andy) and using whatsapp on it, its quite RAM and resource heavy plus it doesn’t satisfy the ease of PC . hence to overcome all these limitations, We came up with an unOfficial Whatsapp client – Whatsapple!

    Without wasting time, let me pen down the features of Whatsapple

    • Whatsapple is an easy to install and configure unofficial client of whatsapp for PC built on the base of Pidgin Messenger.
    • It provides all the features of Whatsapp,such as file upload/download, Individual Chat as well as GroupChat etc on PC.
    • Now, you can view the shared videos and photos/images directly on your PC.as well as Upload Videos/Photos(Images) to the chats directly from the PC!
    • All the Default Smileys of Official Whatsapp App are Supported, thus you can view the Smileys send as well as send emoticons to the Chat 🙂 .
    • As Whatsapple doesn’t require any Android emulator its blazing fast! and light on your PC 🙂 . Thus, any PC right from Windows XP to the latest Windows 8.1 all can run it :).
    • You can add unlimited contacts, no need of any complex emulator things like bluestacks,andy etc.
    • No limit of bandwidth or memory as is the case with phones, the big memory pool of PC practically ensures you will never run out of Memory for storing messages,logs ,photos,videos anything.
    • The Whatsapple client will never hang in most cases irrespective of how many messages arrive simultaneously.
    • And ya, the Installation size is just 10Mb which is even lesser than the apk file size of Whatsapp 😛

    Prerequisites –

    • Windows OS ,  and .Net Framework 4.0 Installed ( Required for Generation of Password Only )

    Procedure to Install and Use Whatsapple

    First of all Download and Install the Whatsapple Client – Whatsapp for PC from here . , Also get your Whatsapp Password from this link – https://davidgf.net/whatsapp/pwd.html

    • e.x for an mobile number in India , the Username will be  “91XXXXXXXXXX” where XXXXXXXXXX is the 10 digit mobile number .
    • For the password, we will need to Generate it one time as Whatsapp requires one time Registration , So first for Generating the Whatsapp Password Open the “Whatsapp Password Generator” from the Desktop.
    • Now, Enter the Mobile Number and click on “Request Code” button as shown in figure below.
    • Now ,you will receive a confirmation code on the mobile number , Now enter the verification Code received in the text box next to Code and click on “Confirm Code” Button.
    • Now a dialog box appears showing you the Whatsapp Password and asking you to write it down,but don’t write it down, click on ‘OK’ and Now copy the Generated Password from the “Step 3″ Area of the Whatsapp Password Generator /WARP .
    • Now, once you have obtained the Username and Password Launch the main “Whatsapple for PC”  Main exe from the desktop .
    • Here, click on Add and add the Username and Password we generated in the Window, you can tick the “remember password” option while adding so as to there’s no need of generating password everytime . Check the figure shown above for details.
    • Now click on add,after the account is added click on close! and voila! you will be logged in and can use Whatsapp on PC for Chatting.

    Method to Chat with a New Number or add Contact Name –

  • Remote URL Upload to Upload files on Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive/Box.com|Easiest way to cache files and transfer between hosts

    Remote URL Upload to Upload files on Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive/Box.com|Easiest way to cache files and transfer between hosts

    Many a times we need to download from sites which either do not come with resume download support, or the files simply don’t get downloaded on our devices. we may also encounter cases where the server speeds are quite slow and we need to download from a faster server.In all the above cases the problem can be solved by Remote URL Upload by virtue of which we can upload files stored on remote(other) urls to Our cloud storage (Dropbox,Google Drive,Box.Com). Not only this but we can also use it to sync our cloud storage such as Box,Dropbox,Copy etc by getting their direct links as mentioned in the tutorial here.

    The Remote URL feature is also useful in bypassing filtering where downloading restrictions are placed , we thus, can remote upload our files by their download links to either of the Cloud hosts and download from the cloud servers ! . thus, bypassing the network restrictions 🙂 .

    Procedure to perform Remote URL Uploading to upload files on Dropbox/GoogleDrive/OneDrive/Box.com

    • First of all sign-up on any of the cloud storage providers to get your own storage space , Keep your account details ready 🙂 we will be needing those 🙂
    • Now, Copy/get the Download Link / URL of the file which you want to upload on the host .
    • Navigate to this site : ctrlq.org/save .  This is an awesome site created by the Digital Inspiration Network, and is based on filepicker.io API , filepicker has no free plans and has Bandwidth limits even for Paid accounts 🙁 but this awesome API bypasses all of them 😛

     

    • In the box titled “FILE URL” Please paste the copied/upload file URL, and now click on the respective Cloud storage button option from the Save to menu, where you want the remote file to be uploaded.
    • After clicking on the button, an option such as connect to “<Cloud storage name>” appears, click on connect and authorise the inkfilepicker or filepicker.io app and allow it the required permissions to upload the file .
    • Now in the text box type the name by which you want to save your file in storage and click on “Save as” button as shown in the figure below –
    • Within , split seconds the file will be Uploaded to your cloud storage which you can now share,download,embed etc. 🙂
    • Thus, you have successfully bypassed network restrictions and uploaded remote URL file to your server and now can download it with full speeds.

    This is a great feature especially for online synchronization between storage and securing the files . It also helps in bypassing the network restrictions/server load . Thanks to Digital Inspiration and Filepicker.io API for providing such a great service for free !

    UpdateAnother service called as storagemadeeasy does the same task of Remote URL Upload, not only that but Storagemadeeasy also provides personal free storage for storing and sharing files online ! It can also perform the task of moving files from one cloud storage to another without even the requirement of download links 🙂 . Just sign up on storagemadeeasy, and add the cloud storage accounts, and now use the normal copy-paste method to copy and move files between the Cloud storage Providers , easy 🙂 .

  • AndroVM Configuration Tutorial

    Here is a small tutorial to help you setting-up AndroVM with hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering, using VirtualBox.
    I will assume that you already have VirtualBox installed and working.

    Step 1 - VBox Network Preferences

    Network Adapter

    To run with hardware acceleration, as for using the ADB with AndroVM, you’ll need an “Host Only” network adapter. To create one, open VirtualBox, get to the “File” menu, “Preferences…”, “Network”.

    Don’t forget to enable DHCP Server for this network adapter.
    Step 2 – Host Only Adapter Configuration

    Importing VM

    Now, you can import the VM into VirtualBox. Just double-click on the OVA file, or use “File” menu, “Import Appliance”.
    It can be a good idea to rename the VM into something more friendly.

    Step 3 - Importing OVA

    Setting-up VM

    Step 4 - VM Parameters

    By default, AndroVM has its first network adapter set to disable. Go to the VM network settings and set it to “Host Only Adapter”

    Step 5 - Network Adapter 1

    Then, start the VM. Now, you’ve got a fully functional software-rendered AndroVM. Now, open the AndroVM Config app, and check the box to enable hardware OpenGL.

    Step 6 - AndroVM Config

    Note that you might see the VM IP on the top off the app. This is the Management IP. You can adb connect this IP.
    If there’s no IP address, then you won’t be able to use hardware OpenGL. Verify your host-only adapter configuration.
    Click on the “Save” button, The VM will restart.

    Spet 7 - VM Reboot

    The VM will stay in that state. Now it’s time to run the AndroVMplayer.

    AndroVMplayer

    The AndroVMplayer is a software used to display the VM content and manage its events. It won’t work if the VM is not running !
    Open a command line interpreter, get to the AndroVMplayer directory, and type :
    AndroVMplayer [width] [height] [density]

    Step 8 - AndroVMplayer

    Wait a few seconds, and the Android boot animation will appear in the AndroVMplayer.

    Typical problems

    STEP 8: THE ANDROVMPLAYER BLOCKS ON “WAITING FOR CONNECTION FROM VM”

    • If the VM shows a Management IP, try to connect to the VM through adb. If it doesn’t work, then turn off your firewall
    • If the VM doesn’t show a Management IP, the your network adapter is not well configured

    THE VM DISPLAYS “INIT: UNTRACKED PID XXXX”

    • It means that the VM is waiting for the AndroVMplayer. Just launch it !

    Site # 3 – gdriveurl.com

    gdriveurl.com is one more site which performs the generation of google drive direct links, it also includes extra features which are useful such as mydrive but for the annoying ads they degrade the overall experience of the site, and hence ranked third in this article .

    It also supports multiple Google Drive permalinks generation,a handy site overall 🙂
