Hibernate does not work anymore in Microsoft Vista

It's been a while since I blogged last, and even longer since I cleaned and free up some disk space on my laptop. While moving and deleting data last week, I used disk cleanup utility. I cleared couple of GBs using this utility, including Hibernation File Cleaner. Obviously, I had no idea what this would do to my laptops' power settings and realized it after a few days that my laptop doesn't hibernate any more and goes to sleep.

After quite sometime trying to fix this, I stumbled across the following knowledge base article on Microsoft Support site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929658

The fix is really simple; all you need to do is log in as Administrator and run the following command:-

powercfg /hibernate on

You'll now be able to hibernate again. I'm going to do just that right now!

The Hierarchy of Digital Distractions

I stumbled across this infographic on Information in Beautiful. It illustrates the Hierarchy of Digital Distractions. I'm quite amazed with this infographic and find it very true. How true do you find this? Click on the image to see this infographic in its original size.

It's been a while, couple of years actually, since I updated my website. For those who do not know me, please see my biography page for more information about me. I have had my personal blog on my to-do list for quite sometime and finally, here it is.

It's good to be back. Just to let you know that I will be updating my blog with personal experiences, advises, tips & tricks and more on a variety of topics including but not limited to web development, PHP, MySQL and Apache.

I will also put up my tutorial and download files that I had posted up on Flash-dB where I was a moderator for a long time. My tutorial, in particular, GuestBook Tutorial was released freely and available at http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/guestbook/.

You can get in touch with me if you like assistance, however, due to time & busy life we all lead, I may not be able to attend all queries.

Till then,
Mohsin.
