I had some problems with TortoiseSVN 1.4.1 and Windows Vista Ultimate. TortoiseSVN would complain about the status cache. It got really annoying. After installing the latest nightly build, everything has been working just fine.
I recently installed Windows Vista Ultimate to see how it runs as a production and development machine. I’ve have Vista RC2 on my laptop for a while and have become accustomed to the look and new search features. My desktop only has 1 GB of RAM so I decided to upgrade after I experienced some sluggishness due to lack of RAM.
I ordered the TWINX2048-3200C2 (1 GB X 2) kit off of Newegg. After the installation, my computer BSOD’d when Vista tried to start. With much frustration I searched Google and tried to debug the problem on my own.
I eventually found a forum which had someone with a similar problem. Here are the suggested settings:
CPU Freq: 200 MHz
System Performance: User Define
Memory Frequency: 100%
Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts
Resulting Frequency: 200 MHz
Memory timings: Manual
Would results in these settings
SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T
SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T
SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T
SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T
Graphics Aperture Size is 128 MB

UPDATE: My computer soon started to ridiculously crash. I ran Memtest86+ and found out that my RAM modules were bad, well they have been sent back to Newegg.
Hey, welcome to my blog. I’m going to try and blog about the internet etc, lets see how this works out.
This small tutorial will show you how to force the use of “www” in you URL.
How many sites link to your site without the “www”? Consolidate you page rank and links by forcing the use of one host name.
You will need Apache and mod_rewrite for this to function properly. Create an .htaccess file and place the following commands in it. If you already have an .htaccess file then simply update it.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.casualcode.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.casualcode.com/$1 [R=301,L]
You will need to obviously change “casualcode.com” to your own domain.
The status code of the redirection is 301 Moved Permanently. A 301 redirect is the safest redirect because it helps preserve search engine ranking and page rank. Redirection should be setup properly on you web site now.
mod_rewrite is an Apache module which uses a rule-based rewriting engine, based on regular expression, to manipulate requested URLs on the fly.
Update
Google now has a feature for you to set the preferred domain in Google webmaster tools.
