Windows 7 Toolbar Hacks Two very quick hacks; the first allows you to add the Quick Launch toolbar back onto the Windows 7 Taskbar. The second fixes the problem where Windows loses toolbars and various Taskbar settings after a reboot or shutdown. DD-WRT Firmware Guides Turn your old (or new!) router into a networking powerhouse. DD-WRT will make your router far more stable and pack it full of features. These firmware flashing guides, one quick, one longer for beginners will have you up and running with DD-WRT with ease. I'll be using the Buffalo WHR-G300N router and the TFTP method. But the tutorials can be used for any routers using the TFTP client. Runescape Fullscreen Hack If you're still enjoying the free to play version of Runescape then you can't fail to notice the horrible banner advert. This quick trick (done 100% in Firefox) allows you to remove the Runescape banner advert and run the game in fullscreen.
Firefox Search Bar Hack Want to change the default search location on the Firefox search box from Google.com to Google.co.uk or any other localised version? This 30 second hack lets you do just that. USB Control Intro Ever wanted to use your PC to control pretty much any electrical device you can think of via USB? Using the very cool "Mini-Bee" I'll show you how to control a simple 6v bulb. That doesn't sound very exciting, but the same principles can be used to control anything! Make robots, spy cars... anything you can thing of! Perl Breadcrumb Trail Script Want to add a Breadcrumb Trail to your site? Just like the one you see at the top of every page on this site? Then check out my new Perl CGI Breadcrumb Trail. It provides users with a dynamically created navigation menu based on the users’ current location within the web site.
