Sattelite Information

Up-to-date information on all satellites around the world. ***** Vis.

“Satellite Finder Online” (hereafter SFO) is a Web-based version of my popular Java application “Satellite Finder”. This service provides coordinates to help you locate geostationary satellites, primarily for those installing and pointing satellite dishes. If you are a professional dish installer and you expect to be in the field at the time you need pointing information, you may want to download “Satellite Finder” as well (both services are free).

Conscientious Habits
Posted on April 9th, 2011 by admin
Here are 10 questions used to create a personality scale that will help determine how conscientious you are. The scale is based on work done by Terman, the book’s authors, and other research. The five possible answers to each question are the same:
1 — Very inaccurate.
2 — Moderately inaccurate.
3 — Neither accurate nor inaccurate.
4 — Moderately accurate.
5 — Very accurate.
1. I am always prepared.
2. I leave my belongings around.
3. I enjoy planning my work in detail.
4. I make a mess of things.
5. I get chores done right away.
6. I often forget to put things back in their proper place.
7. I like order.
8. I shirk my duties.
9. I follow a schedule.
10. I am persistent in the accomplishment of my work and ends.
Scoring for questions 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10: Each answer is worth one to five points, matching the numbers of the answers (one point for very inaccurate, two points for moderately inaccurate, and so forth, up to five points for very accurate). For questions 2, 4, and 6, reverse the scoring order (one point for very accurate, two points for moderately accurate, and so on, up to five points for very inaccurate).
Total scores can range from a low of 10 to a high of 50. “This score is a good measure of conscientiousness,” the book says. “Total scores between 10 and 24 indicate very low conscientiousness . . . Scores between 37 and 50 suggest exceptionally high conscientiousness.”
To test the accuracy of your own answers, ask your spouse or close friend to tell you what answers they think apply for you. They know you very well and might have a more objective view of your personality traits than you do.
Now, the good and bad news about how conscientious you are is that you can change your personality, but you can’t invent a new one overnight. The highly conscientious people in the Terman study had little clue that such behavior would be associated with living a very long life. They behaved this way in their everyday lives because it came naturally.
“It doesn’t matter how many New Year’s resolutions you make,” the book said. “In fact, rapid and pervasive changes are usually quickly abandoned by anyone undertaking them. Lasting adjustments happen with smaller, but progressive, steps.”
Medical treatment is conspicuously absent from the book’s longevity findings. “So-called modern medical cures have played a relatively minor role in increasing adult life span,” the authors wrote. “Social relations should be the first place to look for improving health and longevity.”

AUTO BOOT Shut Down, Restart, Log Off XP Using A Batch File – Undocumented feature for XP
Posted on February 21st, 2011 by admin
How to shutdown a XP Pro computer when you are connected using RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) using a batch file or RPC (Remote Procedure Command) This is useful if you can’t get to the computer but have remote access to the computer via a network or the internet.
First To show you what you will see at a command prompt (command.com) when you type: “shutdown /?” Without the ” ” on each end.
c:\>shutdown /?
Usage: SHUTDOWN [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "c
omment"] [-d up:xx:yy]
No args Display this message (same as -?)
-i Display GUI interface, must be the first option
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s Shutdown the computer
-r Shutdown and restart the computer
-a Abort a system shutdown
-m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
-c “comment” Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
-f Forces running applications to close without warning
-d [u][p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown
u is the user code
p is a planned shutdown code
xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256)
yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 65536)
This is an undocumented feature in XP so I have not found any writeup about it on M$ and everything used here is from other sources. Do not use “cmd” to start the command interpreter (cmd.exe), but type “command” for (command.com. Now you can shutdown the computer by typing “shutdown -s” or to restart the computer type “shutdown -r”
To create a batch file for this you can use notepad, and save the file as .bat in c:\ (root directory) Here are the 3 most used batch files for shutdown:
1 save as down.bat
shutdown -s
2 save as restart.bat
shutdown -r
3 save as forcedown.bat
shutdown -f
4 save as logoff.bat
shutdown -l
5 save as rpcdown.bat (replace computername with the name of your computer )shutdown -s -m \\computernameand this last one is fun in an enviroment using RPC
So that’s a piece of cake, the other options are self explanatory and if you need any help creating the batch file, ask and someone will help

Is my Website blocked ?
Posted on September 3rd, 2010 by admin
“How do I find out if web users in China can access my website at xyz.com?” Following this story on China blocking Blogger blogs ahead of Olympic games, Todd is looking to conduct similar test for his own website to confirm that his site is not blocked by the Chinese government.
There are at least three reliable services that help you test Internet filtering in China using more or less the same method. They have computers located in different cities of China that try to access your site using the ping command.
If you get a “Packets lost” error or there’s a time-out while connecting to your site, chances are that the site is restricted.
1. Just Ping – They have checkpoints inside Hong Kong and Shanghai in China.
2. Watch Mouse – This service too has monitoring stations inside Hong Kong and Shanghai in China.
3. Website Pulse – In addition to Hong Kong and Shanghai, Website Pulse conducts website connectivity test from a computer located in Beijing as well.
Unlike the previous two services that simply do a ping test, this service connects to your site and tries downloading the complete HTML web page. The total response time shows how long it takes for your website to download.
