The new generation of Firefox is expected to be the best among all browsers.Best memory optimization, fastest page loading and a handy GUI ! Firefox 3 is said to be more memory efficient than Firefox 2 with a %60 percentage and also using less memory than IE7 (400 MB less memory consumption). The latest speed tests shows that Firefox 3 is %53 faster than Opera 9.5 , 2x faster than the Apple’s Safari and 3x faster than the IE7. I haven’t tried it yet, I am still using Opera, but if Firefox 3 has such improvements, definetely I ll migrate to Firefox 3 from Opera. One of my important reason to use Opera is memory optimizations. Anyway in the following days I will download and try it, then I can make a detailed review.

Here is the source code:

You may eat the same food with different dishes and of course presentation of food is very important and greatly changes the flavor of the food.  My intention is web. You may use your default browser or you may seek for alternatives. I have tried all browsers that are available and if you wonder which one is right for you, I am willing to give you the details.

Firefox (IE Killer)

Firefox has many advantages over Internet Explorer. New Windows users are not likely to see a big difference, actually they will like the simple GUI of Internet Explorer. However surfing the Internet is not a simple thing to do in one window, you have to open many IE instances to dirty your taskbar, but thanks to the programmers, they have integrated tabs into Firefox. After this revolution, Microsoft has decided to put tabs to IE with the version 7, but again the look and feel of IE 7 was seem to pretty ugly. Another nice thing about Firefox is the wide range of extensions available for free. You may find extensions for any purpose. Feeds, News, Blogging, Themes, Popup Blockers etc.. Firefox has Google support in the background and all of this made the Firefox the most popular web browser market.

Safari (Much cry and little wool) 

Not much than a fancy and simple mac GUI. When compared with the other browsers, Safari uses terribly more Memory than any browser and contains many bugs.  You may observe this by yourself. Open a few web pages and press CTRL+alt+DEL. Do not get shocked, it is normal that Safari uses hundred megabytes of ram for few web pages. Completely inefficient for systems with less RAM and slower CPU. However Apple says that Safari is the fastest browser available. I have tried but believe me there is no difference. At least I couldn’t sense it if there is. Even if there is a few nano secs of less load time, I wouldn’t have sacrifice hundred megabytes of memory. I hope that they will try to optimize in the following versions. Safari doesn’t seem to be a revolutionary browser.

Opera (All in one)

Among these alternatives, maybe the best. 

The best because, it has all advantages of them and plus new things. Firstly, Opera utilizes tabs like Firefox. Also it has a very nice smooth GUI (not too much fancy). Plus it has speed dial property, you may assign your favourite web sites to CTRL 1 , CTRL 2 etc.. Beside these advantages it consumes very little memory. I am sure you will enjoy surfing if you are using Opera. My choice for browsing the web.

Internet Explorer (the Old Boy)

There is not much thing to discuss with IE. Many of us had started browsing the internet with IE. Yes, IE is not the worst but needs more improvement than any others. Because it is a Microsoft product and it is in the front line.

Perl is one of the most rooted scripting languages, and has wide range of libraries for any purpose.Nowadays I’m studying it, and exploring its great usage and ease of use.Perl has powerful string processing ability, and also when you have confidence in using regular expressions, you may achieve anything on parsing.Here I want to demonstrate its simple syntax.

\t : Tab Character
\n : New Line
\r : Carriage Return
\f : Form Feed Character
\cX : Control Character CTRL-X.  : Match any one character
| : Alternation
( ) : Group  / Also returns the values for $1 , $2 , $3 after proper matches.
[ ] : Define Character class^ : Match the beginning       $ : Match the end
\b : Match at a ”word” boundary  \B : Match at not a ‘word’ boundary

* : Match 0 or more times
+ : Match at least 1 or more times
? : Match 0 or 1 times

\d : [0-9] A digit            \D : A non-digit
\s : Whitespace char       \S : A non-whitespace char.

/i : ignore case    /g : Match globally (all matches)      /s : Substitute, Replace

=~ True If the regex matches        !~ True If the regex doesn’t match

The above information will be helpful if you have just started to learn Regular Expressions.

Is it a war? Maybe it is true maybe not. Who cares? Complexity may be a disadvantage or a power to rule, or simplicity rules? Who cares? Is it a war or just mutualist way of living? Who is the boss ? Look to the picture and you decide but remember men are easy to shut down.

However you may not want to wait for Whidbey, yes it is said to be there exist some solutions, (I heard this from one my programmer friend). Surprisingly the idea seems very interesting to me. The point is that you call assembly functions from a DLL, so the only thing that differs is coding, you just call some functions to make your calculations in machine language, and as a result. you acquire the indispensable augmentation in performance.

Never tried this method, but I will definitely try, in the following posts I may expose it with some code samples. Another important point that you may use this method in VB.NET also, as you can use the DLL in a same manner. Goodbye until to next post!

For example, I am using GoDaddy’s shared hosting plans and I’m really happy with.However I am discovering the limits lately, and I am understanding what are you capable of to do with shared hosting using ASP.NET.Chances are that if you are using PHP, you have greater freedom and everything becomes possible.

Yesterday I was trying to connect to a MySQL database with .NET, I accomplished this on Windows very smoothly without having any problems.(I used ByteFX .NET library to connect MySQL).On the other hand, on Web, this is nearly impossible, you can not use external dlls on many of the shared hostings (security issue).I tried to use ODBC to connect MySQL, I didn’t use any DLLs and again I couldn’t connect to MySQL database (By the way this MySQL database is not on my shared hosting, on a completely different host), because thanks to GoDaddy, they have blocked outgoing connections to other database hosts.So I was only able to connect an inner MySQL database.You may ask why MySQL? Because you may not find free database hosts that give MSSql (there are lots of hosts that provides free MySQL databases), and also you may not have any other options other than MySQL, so in such a case your all hands are tied.

Briefly I am really considering to use PHP rather ASP.NET, day by day I discover something that is possible in all the way with PHP and not possible with ASP.NET.
This is really driving me nuts.As you see PHP gains another +1 against ASP.NET.See you next time…

Url rewriting can be made in few ways, with ISAPI modules, or you may configure IIS to direct .html or anyother extensions to ASP.NET dll. However you need to access your IIS server.If you are using a shared hosting like me , you may be disappointed but you should accept that you can only do url rewrites which ends in .aspx extension, because IIS directs .aspx extensions to asp.net dll, and your custom rewrites in your global.asax will run before IIS gives an “404 Not Found Error”.

Yes I hate .aspx/.php or any other extensions different than .html. Not only me prefer .html , but also Google prefers .html extensions, and most likely to index that pages.Briefly the same situation can happen if you host php on IIS (which is pretty a dumb action to do), as a result this is not related but .NET, but again If we consider php/apache bros. they gain +1 against asp.net/IIS .

Why Nokia E65 ?
There are many reasons, especially WiFi. If you are looking for a WiFi phone, E65 is the best choice currently.Just because many other phones with WiFi have stupidly high price. Consider N95, if you are not going to use a 5 MegaPixel camera, why would you buy that phone for a fortune ?

In E65 there is a 2-Megapixel camera which is pretty enough for most shots. Beside WiFi, and its acceptable price there are many other advantages like its OS. E65 uses symbian S60 3rd version. This means you will likely to use MSN instant messenger (Windows Live), check your Gmail inbox, surf the web with a pretty nice browser.Also E65 comes with lots of useful applications, to aid your business like word,excel,powerpoint(also you may use E65 as a remote controller for presentations) and pdf applications, welcome to E65 pocket office.Since it is Symbian S60 3rd version, there are incredibly many applications for your taste, gaming, office, personal, internet, security and many others.Travellers will really like this phone.It comes with navigation apps, you may connect to your gps with bluetooth or use network to locate your position and draw a path to other location and you may also use Nokia maps application for a detailed road map of your city.

I have made a special tool called ” Multiple Find & Replace ” . This tool will help you with working many files, especially if you are coder and want to change the same thing on multiple files, so this little tool will save your time. What is special about this tool is that it supports regular expressions, so you can use a regular expression to specify what you want to change. It also creates auto-backups and then replaces the backups if you want. In a log window you can easily track which files you have opened and what how many replacements made on this files. This little ” Multiple Find & Replace ” tool is completely free! But I will appreciate if you donate some penny , below there is a screen shot of the tool. (You have to have .NET 2.0 Framework to be installed.)

Many bloggers are hopeless, they just work hard and run their blogs for months, but they still don’t get any valuable amount of visitors. This is just because something is wrong with your content. Maybe the most anticipated subject by bloggers.Catching a good content and idea must not be so easy, because among those millions of bloggers only some of them earn much.Problogger,John Chow,etc..

So have you ever think that what if you spend your time on your content rather than your design? Probably you will start to get some loyal readers, and your feed chicklet will show a number greater than 10. If you still lack of ideas what may your content be, you have to ask for yourself, you know the things that you are better on.

Searching other sites, browsing many blogs in your niche can be very helpful, to do so, get a feedreader, add your favorite blog feeds and it will be much more easier to follow many blogs.This week Problogger touched an interesting point Go Shopping and Improve Your Blog , this was really an interesting experiment for me. He asked for his readers go shopping, observe the people and note their ideas about what is going on around. Problogger himself did the same thing, he went the nearest shopping center and catched some ideas. The most important point is that he related the ideas with blogging.

An example is :

3. Lines and Waiting in Queues Kill Customer Loyalty

(He related this with slow load times of sites.)

To catch some ideas, the only thing is to look around something, go away from your computer.Think about your content, how to improve it, or maybe you have to change your niche.You have to know your professions and skills, and choose your niche accordingly.People who are successful are the people who aware of their environment, having a good reasoning, and relating every experience with their jobs by catching common points.
Sitting and waiting will not inspire you, do different things and read a lot.

It is said that WGA servers are out since last friday. XP and Vista users are having problems with their installations during verifying their original copies.Microsoft WGA forums are full of problem reports. I think microsoft got a irresponsibility, because such important servers have to be controlled and checked hourly basis, otherwise millions of windows users encounter these unnecessary problems.
