Until now, the best app that I knew for analyzing wifi networks for things like searching for a free wifi channel for our wifi was for Android(Wifi Analyzer). Yesterday a friend told me about a Windows tool called inSSIDer.
Works like a charm!.

Are you using Windows? Then try to open the calculator (Fast way: WindowsKey+R and type calc) and do square root of 4 and substract 2. Surprise!
If you want to know why does this happen… a Microsoft link.
Creating independent executables from MATLAB
13/10 15:35
~I’ll translate it later, haven’t got time right now! Sorry!
I got tired of entering the password of the account I use to connect to a shared device (a folder) from Windows XP Home Edition (this version does not have enabled the “remember credentials” button in the connect to network drives window).
So I decided to search a way to get rid of that, and its pretty easy:
Net use L: "\\COMPUTER\Shared Folder" /user:USER PASSWORD
You only need to create a .bat file (a text file but changing the extension to .bat) with that linea (adapted to your case) and add it to the Start-on-boot stuff of the PC.
Remove blue background of Windows icons
03/08 09:17
Today at the job I’ve found a computer that had all the icons “like selected” with the blue background in the text.
To get rid of this effect I found the next solution (after many that didn’t work):
1. Right click on the Desktop
2. Properties
3. Desktop Tab
4. Personalize Desktop Tab
5. Web Tab
6. Unselect anything you don’t use
This was found out via nocturnar forums (spa).
How to change the MTU over Windows Vista/7
02/07 14:53
To do this we’ll need to open a terminal, to do this I recommend to hit WindowsKey+R and write cmd and hit intro.
After this trivial step we’ll need to see our interfaces and their MTU:
netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces
To know the max size we can assign to our MTU we can try with:
ping www.REFERENCEWEB.com -f -l SIZE
And finally to set the MTU that we need we can execute:
netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "YOUR INTERFACE NAME" mtu=SIZE store=persistent

LogMeIn Express, screen sharing made easy

Did it ever happen to you that you wanted to help someone with some computer related problem, or from the other side, you wanted to show to someone your desktop?
Usually you would need to configure some software (some type of VNC) installing it, opening ports, do some tests… and this could mean too much work.
Recently (well, in the MWC of this year) I discovered LogMeIn Express, now Join.me and after trying it I am delighted with it.

Did it ever happen to you that you accepted a Windows update and after that you get a an annoying message asking you to reboot every 5 min?
I’m sure it did happen to you, to stop this happening you just need to write in WindowsStart-Execute (or WinKey+R):
sc stop wuauserv
With this you stop the message.
Its an old trick but I discovered it very late!
