Connectify makes sharing of internet connection via Wi-Fi on Windows 7 easier than ever. But in case it’s not working properly on your machine, or you desire a simpler interface (as if Connectify is not simple enough), you may wan to try Virtual Router.

How easy can it be? Just simply enter your desired SSID and password, click on “Start Virtual Router” and off you go.

Virtual Router

After starting, your friends can connect to the Wi-Fi network and start going online using your internet connection. It works great at times, but at some other times, it’ll say “Virtual Router could not be started“, at least on my laptop. I still couldn’t figure it out yet.

Now you see, now you don’t. It happens very frequently on webpages with “offensive“, “sensitive“, “non-government friendly” or plain stupid content. To preserve a webpage as it is, at the time you are viewing it, nothing gets more convenient than just hitting the print screen button.

HostgatorUptime is as good as in June at 99.99%. Not bad at all for a $10/month shared hosting by Hostgator. RSS subscribers got a bump from ~300 to ~400, around 100 subscribers increase.

If you have used Google Chrome, you would know how simple the user interface is. Google basically only includes essentials in Chrome, eliminating all pointless element. Title bar being one of them. It serves no purpose but occupy precious screen real estate, especially for netbook users.

I would have switched to Chrome as my primary browser if not for the Firefox add-ons I cannot live without. If you are on the same boat, you would want to have a look at this Firefox add-on — Hide Caption Titlebar Plus.

Installing this little add-on will remove your Firefox’s title bar, and move the “minimize, maximize & close” buttons down. This is how my Firefox looks like without the title bar:

(If you’re wondering, I’ve tweaked other elements also in this screenshot: refer to More Room, Less Junks section)

The options are pretty extensive, allowing you to dictate which window’s title bar you want to rid, which you want to retain (e.g. pop ups).

Now we can have most screen real estate for things that matters :)
