Flash Tag Cloud

HanaDaddy 2 Comments

Now here is the FLASH in action. If you do not see anything below, your flash player is not version 9.
{flashtagcloud}

This is a test for the Flash Tag Cloud WordPress Plugin.

Basically, tags are randomly arranged and fly around in this flash when you move your move over it. It is a nice eye-candy. But you need to click on the flash to activate it when you view with the IE.

There is an option page in the admin interface that you can change the behavior of the flying text.

Requirements are

  1. Flash 9 is required.
  2. You must be using UTW (Ultimate Tag Warrior Plugin) as tagging plugin.

PuTTY: Exporting Profile Data for migration

HanaDaddy 5 Comments

I was using the PuTTY with several profiles stored and was happy with it. One day, I got this new labtop and decided to migrate whole desktop system to this new labtop.

But for PuTTY,there was no menu for the profile export. So I spent some time to find out how to do it.

The solution was posted in the FAQ of the PuTTY Homepage.

A.5.2 Where does PuTTY store its data?

On Windows, PuTTY stores most of its data (saved sessions, SSH host keys) in the Registry. The precise location is

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY

Alright, you can extract Registry data by using regedit. Open regedit and browse the path in the left treeview upto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY

Once you highlight the PuTTY node, click right mouse button and select the ‘Export’ Menu. A new Save Dialog window will be shown and you will be able to save the information into a file.

Export PuTTY Profile data from the Registry

After you copy the data file (*.reg) to the new computer, you can register it to registry by simply double clicking on the file.

Here is a better way to do it

Create a batch file that executes regedit.

regedit /ea putty.reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY

Run it by double clicking. Then you will get putty.reg.

Then you can send it to your Gmail account and download the file from any other computer connected to the Internet and import it by double clicking again.

And here is the batch file if you are lazy enough to download one instead of creating one by yourself.
