Microsoft offers a free tool, the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express, as a convenient means of managing and editing entries in SQL databases through a GUI. The SQL Server 2008 license comes with the full version of the Management Studio, but the Express version is still very functional for the day-to-day operations. However, finding the stand-alone version of the software is quite a pain. Most people don't need to install a SQL server on their machine, but that is the most promoted means of getting the Management Studio Express. You can download it from here https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=08e52ac2-1d62-45f6-9a4a-4b76a8564a2b&displayLang=en ( 32-bit (168.3 MB) or 64-bit (176.5 MB)) Before you Install: Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 Windows Installer 4.5 Windows PowerShell 1.0 How to Install: Once the installer starts, select "Installation" from the left column.

One of the important widgets in a blog is of course a search box you may leave the archive widget , but do not miss a search box . With increasing number of posts, it is of course not possible for your readers to find a post from the never ending list in your blog archive, in that case only a search box can help them to find what they want. According to my own blog statistics, out of every 500 page impressions at least 50 impressions belong to internal blog search. In case you want to display the search box in the Header region, just like BloggerStop, follow these instructions: Log in to Blogger -> Layout -> Edit HTML and mark the ' Expand Widget Templates ' box. Now find (CTRL+F) this: #header { ..... ..... ..... } And immediately BELOW/AFTER it, paste this code: #header .searchbox { text-align:$endSide; // $endSide = Right & $startSide = Left margin: 25px; // Distance from right or left side } Now search these lines: <div class=...

JoliCloud is an Ubuntu linux based OS, developed with netbooks in mind. Since netbooks are low on processing power and most of them are used mostly for surfing the Internet it would be apt to use an OS which would not only boot up in a jiffy but will also be completely dedicated towards the use of web-applications. JoliCloud has somewhat blurred the line between a web-application and a desktop based application. Since it is based on Ubuntu Linux, it can run all applications compatible with Ubuntu, like Gimp and OpenOffice.org, and you can also install web-applications which would create desktop icons for one click access to those web-sites. This is done by using Firefox's prism. So every time you install a web-applications, JoliCloud creates a shortcut on the desktop using Prism and thus you can launch separate instances of these applications, like twitter or Facebook in separate, single Firefox Windows. The operating system also lets you subscribe to feeds from other JoliClou...

Mac is always known for its study of beauty . Be it their ultra slim laptops or cool operating Systems. Windows on the other hand has mostly lagged behind. The statement does feel a little aged when I write this with Windows 7 installed on my system. What windows has still not given up is the task bar and when compared to Mac's dock it still looks…well, ugly. Not that I can live without it, since I have always been on Windows, it seems outrageous to even auto-hide the task bar. But since I also love the way desktop looks in Mac, I have installed Rocket dock to gain that look. Its a tool that will create a Mac-style dock on your desktop. You can insert your desktop shortcuts into this dock and your minimized windows would show in it as well. Here is how my desktop looked after installing RocketDock : Its very customizable, you can delete the existing icons, add new, change the visual style of the dock, its position and so much more. This is how it looks when you hover yo...
