Remote Desktop Manager

Leave a reply

Are you like me who is managing a number of Windows Server? And might be maintaining multiple credential for each. I know its hard and you have the capability of saving the password. But remembering those server name or url is not that easy and I think this tool is right for you.

Microsoft has a manager for that and is called Remote Desktop manager. What it do is enable you to save your servers either per item or you may group them and also state a general setting and credential or even specify one for each.

Go ahead and download it at here.

GIT vs TFS vs SVN

Leave a reply

Just like you I have wonder what are the difference between the three Source Code top kind Repositories that are available online. So I have decided to create this article to enlighten myself and others who are looking into the distinguishing difference of each so let get started.

GIT
Git is recently very popular with, you guess it right, github.com as it is offering an online free public source code repositories that everyone can use absolutely free. One of the best highlight of this kind of repository is that “Your CLONED repository is actually the repository that can cloned by others with the history along it”. Thats why when you are getting the source code you get it using the command GIT CLONE with the clone on the command.

TFS
We all know that its a Mirsoft product so most user of TFS are Micorosft entusiasth with Licenses at hand. One of the primary reason of choosing this repo server is that it is thighlt integrated with Microsoft product on Visual Studio and some Office Apps. It is also good to point that it is best to use if you are looking into a source control that is not easily unbinable from its source control. Unbindable that you may not easily remove the binding of the Source code from TFS, well at least that is from my experience.

SVN
Previously popular with most users as it used on Google’s Code website and has plenty of server choices that you can freely download and deploy on your on server absolutely free. It has the build in ability to Easily unbind your source code (EXPORT). Though the only downside is that the only source of truth is on the server unlike GIT which you may trigger your CLONED repo as a source of truth and might be a primary reason that some user move from SVN to GIT.

Well this are all based from my experience and some reading. But still don’t limit ourself on this items as there are also some reasons that is not indicated on this article that might be the triggering point of developers on choosing this kind of repository.

God Bless!

Thanks,

Signalr – OnDisconnect(bool stopCalled)

Leave a reply

Most of us who are using .Net as our Programming language use Signalr as our Real-Time Framework. And we implement OnDisconnect in most cases to catch clients that have been disconnected. Since then there were no parameter included as an Overload of the said method. Lately on the latest releases by the Signalr team they have included an Overload so that we can distinguish what triggers the disconnection and help us manage our Apps behavior to it.

With this said I have one experience that I want to share as this may also frustrate some people who are counting connected users and having a problem that when their app have multi workers (Web Garden) they app somehow always trigger OnDisconnect even if the user is still connect. So I want to share this findings on how to properly address it.

  1. Make sure that the App is using a Backplane to manage connection on your hub so that the connections are shared on all threads/servers. I use SQLServer.
  2. Make sure to use the Database on counting your list of connection and tagging who is who. Because in memory List even its static will not be shared on a different server (obviously).
  3. Make sure to trigger disconnection action when the OnDisconnect is called with the stopCalled is equal to true.

Let me highlight what is stopCalled is equal to true means.

  1. It returns true if the method on the connection to close is trigger
  2. It returns true if the browser is called
  3. It returns false if the timeout has been met

Hope this instructions will help you manage your site as it help me on our projects.

God Bless!

Thanks,
Thomie

Clash of Clans Unlimited Gems

Leave a reply

Hi Co Palyers,

Before anything else this is NOT a cheat.

I have been searching for way to have an Clash of Clans Unlimited Gems. Yes there is a way but it is not on the real Clash of Clans.

coc

To see is to believe. That is most of us says. You can see that there is my name at the upper left corner of the screen. So how can that happen. Simply connect to a server using the guide below and please note that all saved data might disappear but rest assured you will still have the number of Golds and Gems during start.

So here are the steps, just follow it very carefully:

ANDROID Users (As of now for Rooted Device only)

  1. Back-up your existing Clash of Clans Game to your Google Account(I know that most of you should know this)
  2. Make sure your device is rooted, if not you may try this.
  3. Install Host Editor on your Android device
  4. Open the Host Editor and add the following
    1. host
  5. After adding that to your host open up your Clash of Clans and to See is to Believe.

iOS Users

  1. Install iFile
  2. Navigate and Open /etc/hosts
  3. Add New values containing the same as the provided on android.
  4. After adding that to your host open up your Clash of Clans and to See is to Believe.

 

Notes:

  • Gem Purchases will go to the original Clash of Clans and not saved. Please don’t purchase any gems as you will be billed by the ORIGINAL Clash of Clans.
  • You’ll have on login
    • 10,000,000 gold
    • 100,000,000 elixer
    • 10,000,000 gems
    • 300,000 dark elixer(if applicable)
  • Just Removed the added Host to go back to the original Clash of Clans.
  • Things that are not yet working:
    • Clans and Clan War
    • Player vs Player
    • Player vs Environment
    • Google+, Facebook, and Link
  • All rights remain to their corresponding owners.
  • You are doing this on your own will.
  • Again This is NOT a cheat.

MSSQL – Execution Plan Caching and Recompiling

Leave a reply

Hi,

Have you every experience that you have a stored procedure(SP) that have plenty of parameters that when 1 set of parameter is executed for the very first time the said SPwas created, its fast. Then after you have a new set of parameter passed to the same SP you’ll end up a long execution process?

Then that is because of a so called Execution Plan Caching that MSSQL is doing on your query. In an overview MSSQL check if there is an existing execution plan for the SP. If there is none, it will create an optimized execution plan, compile, and then cache it on memory. So when the same SP is executed with the same number of parameter it will be reused.

So in cases that you have the same number of parameter every time you use the said stored procedure and you know that you have a logic that will change the query result then this optimization may not be on our side.

When does this caching is cleared? It is only cleared when either there are no memory allocation for MSSQL or you force MSSQL to recompile the SP.

How to Recompile your specific SP? Just add OPTION (RECOMPILE) at the end of your query, before the END statement, and you are ready to go. In some cases you may want to force all cache to be removed, you need to use another statement to do that and that is DBCC FREEPROCCACHE.

That’s it. Hope it helped you as it helped me on my project.

God Bless!
Thanks,
Thomie
