Windows Mobile Registry Tweaks
November 12, 2009
Following are some of the registry tweaks for Windows Mobile 5 and 6. Make sure you have a registry editor like SK Tools installed on your Windows Mobile.

Enable ClearType in Landscape mode

To enable ClearType in Landscape mode: HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To disable: HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation = 1 (DWORD decimal)

Make WM ask where to install a program

An alternative method of making WM5 ask where to install a program is by adding the "/askdest" option to the Windows CE loader:
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /askdest' (REGSZ string, no quotes)

Change the location of My Documents

Documents are opened in and saved to the device's internal storage by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\Storage Card\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)


Change the location of Temporary Internet Files

When browsing the web, pages and images are saved in the 'Temporary Internet Files' location. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache = "\Storage Card\cacheie" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache = "\Windows\Profiles\guest\Temporary Internet Files" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Difficulty faced in blog migration to Wordpress
October 31, 2009
I have been trying to migrate my blogger blog to Wordpress for quite sometime. I have googled and found various methods of doing so. However I seem to be facing the same issue over and over again. After importing the blog I lose the pagerank/SEO juice and also none of my permalinks point to my old blogger links even though I have changed the permalink format of my Wordpress to that of Blogger before migration. Now there is a new problem. I get an "Internal Server Error" if I enter the URL of my Wordpress. I tried changing the DNS settings for my domain and creating CNAME and A Record but I cant even get to my login screen at http://satishmania.utdisa.com. For the moment I have switched back to Blogger until I find a solution.

Blog migration to custom domain
July 28, 2009
After almost nine months of blogging I have decided to move my blog to a custom domain. Here after all my new and existing posts will be redirected to satishmania.com. My ultimate aim is to switch to a custom domain on Wordpress after about 2 months. I also have an FTP account which I'll be implementing after I move to Wordpress as using FTP on blogger makes me ineligible to import my blog to Wordpress. The reason I moved to a custom domain before switching to Wordpress is to preserve my PR, Backlinks and the SEO juice. In about two months most of the serach engines would have updated my URLs to the custom domain thereby preserving my traffic which won't require me to start from scratch after I switch to Wordpress. All my blog visitors will be auto-redirected to satishmania.com. For those of you interested in importing your blog to Wordpress here are some useful links.

Adsense Alternative
July 7, 2009
I recently signed up for Chitika which is a good alternative for adsense. The ads appear similar to adsense ads. Chitika has certain features which are very unique. The ads appear on your blog only for those visitors who reach your blog via a search engine. For example when someone does a google search for the phrase "Bidvertiser Tricks" and if your site comes up on the SERP page and if the visitor clicks on it and reaches your blog then he will see the ads but not if he reaches your blog directly. This kind of features eliminates accidental self clicking of ads as they don't even appear when you are modifying your blog. But your earning entirely depends on how good your blog is far far search engines are concerned. Chitika pays through cheque (minimum balance $100) and Paypal with a minimim balance of $10 for withdrawal. For more information click here.
