sharepoint tip - page views via query strings

-
I found a useful post which gives you "secret" access to sharepoint. By directly editing the query strings at the end of the URL (behind the ? ) you can gain direct access to sharepoint views and features without having to use the builtin navigation links. This can save you some clicking when the site is slow and also give you new, hidden functionality in sharepoint.

We will discuss the advantages of running Bridge on Linux Containers the steps to build them, and finally, we will provide some automation script ideas for monitoring and scaling Linux Bridge agents. Tableau Bridge Today Until recently, Tableau Bridge was only available as a Windows application running on a Windows VM. It supported only one bridge agent per Virtual or Physical Machine.

RAM Disks do not speed up Visual Studio

  The limiting factor for Visual Studio is disk IO. I got a tip to speed up Visual Studio from Channel 9 by creating a RAM disk which sounded like a great idea. However, when I ran a thorough set of tests, I found that the performance difference between the Ram disk and the hard disk were not appreciably different. This was a big surprise since RAM is 240,000 times faster than disk (see my previous blog post). But the reason is because Visual Studio and Vista do a lot of caching. So compile times for the same project in RAM disk and on hard disk were pretty similar. I also tested the time it took to search the entire solution for a word, and times to open a solution. There was no discernable difference!   If you still want to try it out and create your own RAM disk, you can download a simple RAMDISK.EXE utility to create a RAM disk in just a few minutes. What is a RAM Disk ?   Ramdisk is a virtual drive created in RAM.   Performance Analysis Creating f...
