Best Tool for Editing PDF forms

I've been searching for a tool that can save the form data in PDF's. After trying out certain products i ended up with PDF-XChange Viewer. This is a lightweight tool and does what it says. A very good find indeed!!.

Took a Git Training

Completed 2-day training on git essentials from https://tutsplus.com/course/git-essentials/. Everyone looks at version control management/source code management as an important part of the project but never invests time on how to use these tools effectively. Its been a 'learn as you use' tool. I have used Apache SVN for like 3 years and i wouldn't say I'm an expert on it. All i have done is check in and checkout. Taking a formal training on git has enabled me to exploit the features of git which otherwise would be left untouched.

Network connection problem in windows 7

I had been having problems with windows 7 as it was taking so much time to connect to the network(upto 15 mins…way more than what it used to be). So I finally made up my lazy mind to see whats wrong. I ran the troubleshoot test on the network connections but it didn’t solve the problem. I noticed the following

Diagnostics policy service is not running. After some googling I found out that system restore could solve the issue..nope that’s not possible any alternatives ????

Finally from a forum I found out that removing all the network adapters and then rebooting the system will solve the problem. If by mistake you remove the network drivers you will have to reinstall it. 

Luckily the above method solved my problem. The network adapters got created again after I rebooted and things were happy and all good again. Hope it helps!!!!

A great GUI for keytool-keytool-iui

I had always used the command line arguments while creating the keystores, creating self signed certificates, importing the trusted certificates till yesterday when I thought enough is enough and started googling for “best gui keytool”. Options came up and I found this beauty I should say, the work of some “smart person”. Now there is no more complaining about using keytool. Here is a video which explains how to use it.

Useful book on linux commands

Being a daily user of linux, I can always find my way out but sometimes remembering the commands with arguments is quite difficult. Ofcourse there is google but nothing helps like a command book or a cheat sheet. Came across this book which always works out for me. Searching for keywords in this book just works out for me.
