Drupal 6: Integrating Adsense for Search

Submitted by whiztech on Tue, 09/30/2008 - 12:08

I’ve been using Drupal for almost a year and I find it very easy to customize and configure. In fact, Drupal is my second blogging platform after Blogger. The Drupal development and community is very active. In this post I will show you how to easily integrate Google’s ‘Adsense for Search’ into Drupal 6 so that the search result can be shown and contained on your Drupal site.

 

1. Download and install ‘Google Custom Search Engine’ module for Drupal 6 to your Drupal installation. If you don’t know how to install a Drupal module, extract and upload the content of google_cse-6.x-x.x.tar.gz to the sites/all/modules directory of your Drupal installation. Make sure the folder google_cse exists after you upload the files (1).

File-copying Utility Test: TeraCopy vs FastCopy

Submitted by whiztech on Sun, 09/28/2008 - 18:37

I’ve been using TeraCopy as my default copy handler for a few month to speed up the file copying/moving process. Sometimes, I wonder if TeraCopy is actually helps in speed up the file copying process or not. So, I decided to perform a simple test to compare the copying speed of built in copy handler in Windows, TeraCopy and FastCopy.

Developer description: TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, providing the user a lot of features.

TeraCopy is a freeware and it can integrates to Windows as a default copy handler.

Accelerating File Copying Process of Small Files

Submitted by whiztech on Sun, 09/07/2008 - 07:32

Before this, I use TeraCopy as the default copy handler. However, the latest TeraCopy seems to have problem on my machine when trying to transfer a lot of small files between different hard disk (103GB of mp3 files). After searching for the alternative of TeraCopy, I found FastCopy. FastCopy is a small tool that will help to accelerates the file copying process. While TeraCopy seems cannot handle small files, FastCopy works perfectly.

Welcome Google Chrome! First Look…

Submitted by whiztech on Wed, 09/03/2008 - 06:29

PhotobucketGoogle Chrome is the latest open source web browser, built with WebKit and Mozilla technology, developed by Google. When I first run Google Chrome, I noticed the simple GUI of Google Chrome. You will get the basic GUI such as tabs, address bar, back, forward and home buttons. Even bookmarks is actually hidden by default (you have the option to show it somehow).

Some Google Chrome features:

  • Phishing and malware sites blacklist will be periodically downloaded by Google Chrome.
  • Each tabs in Google Chrome are sandboxed, meaning that each tab is isolated and cannot affect other tabs, and have the similar ‘Protected Mode’ used by Explorer 7 on Windows Vista.
  • The new Javascript virtual machine, V8, used in Google Chrome will significantly improve Javascript executions.
  • Multiprocessing
  • Google Chrome comes with its own task manager, so you can see which tab or plugin that hogs your system resources.
