Google Maps URL

This is current accepted way to link to a specific lat lon (rather than search for the nearest object).

http://maps.google.com/maps?z=12&t=m&q=loc:38.9419+-78.3020  
  • z is the zoom level (1-20)
  • t is the map type ("m" map, "k" satellite, "h" hybrid, "p" terrain, "e" GoogleEarth)
  • q is the search query, if it is prefixed by loc: then google assumes it is a lat lon separated by a+

Hostgator Web Hosting Review

I have (not for much longer) a Hostgator reseller account.  I've now transitioned the last of 30+ sites away from them.  Reasons? They were purchased by a large conglomerate, moved datacenters and ever since the performance has been abysmal.  Night and day since the changes.  Need more proof? This is the response time graph for the last site I moved away from Hostgator.  Can you guess where on the graph it occurred?

Switching Windows 8 from AHCI to ATA/IDE or reverse

I was having Intel Rapid Storage Technology RST issues with a newly installed drive...did not need performance so switched BIOS to RAID auto/ ATA to eliminate the Intel RAID controller usage

  • Run msconfig (right click far left bottom corner of desktop then left click run, type msconfig).
  • Click boot tab, mark safe boot, restart, change to AHCI in BIOS, boot, Windows boots in safe mode.
  • Run msconfig again, boot tab unmark safe boot, restart PC.

ok - after scouring the developer boards I found this courtesy of ForestMountain (http://bugs.owncloud.org/thebuggenie/owncloud/issues/oc-755):

"I have found that you can change this

Linux (Fedora 16): /home/<username>/.local/share/data/ownCloud/folders/ownCloud

Windows7: c:\users\<username>\App Data\Local\ownCloud\folders\ownCloud

Edit the ownCloud file with a normal texteditor. Writing targetPath=/ will reflect the localpath"
