There are a few unwanted “features” windows offer that eats up your CPU, they are good tools though but if performance comes above visual effects in your priority list then this trick is for you..

On Windows :

  1. Right Click on ‘My Computer’ select ‘Properties’
    (    Short-cut: Win Key + Pause/Break)
  2. If you are using Windows Vista, Click on the ‘Advanced system settings’ on the left panel
  3. Now you are in ‘System Properties’ window, click on the ‘Advanced’ tab
  4. Saw the ‘Performance’ section? click ‘Settings’ next to it System Properties - Advanced section More >

Into the world of jQuery..

As you must have noted by now am a freelance web-developer. Just recently I started learning JavaScript with jQuery. Yeah I know, as always too late to get into these stuff..

Well jQuery features made my eyes open! Wow! It is so simple yet powerful, you could edit the DOM – Document Object Model ‘anytime’ after the loading so easily. and the effects, widgets, themes, all of it makes Web Development a child’s play! So I started playing with it too. ;)  I’m currently renewing my personal website to this ‘Feature-Rich’ environment.

I wanted my website to be creative yet simple. I didn’t wanted it to be a bloggy-style one. So I started checking out for my other options, suddenly I got this idea, why not Vista? I am using one. Why can’t I give my site a ‘Vista Compatible’ mode? So I started working with the ‘Vista Project’. I named it ’WowVista’ please don’t ask me why I can’t answer that, “Trade Secret” ;P

I hope it gives you a Vista look and feel. Enjoy!
