The Start menu is back with a better look on Windows 10



The return of the Start menu that Microsoft teased during its Build 2014 conference earlier in 2014 was shown off in full force at the September 30, 2014 event. Replete with a merging of the traditional Windows 7-style interface and Windows 8 Live Tiles, the new Start menu is designed to please both camps: touch and mouse users.

"They don't have to learn any new way to drive," Belfiore said, referring to Windows 7 business users. That said, customization will also be featured throughout, first with the ability to re-sizing the Start menu itself along with the Live Tiles within.

The Start menu features empowered search capabilities as well, able to crawl your entire machine, not to mention web results. (Through Bing and not Google. we'd imagine.)

Not having this start menu on Windows 8 was actually one of the reasons why I never upgraded to Windows 8.

HOW TO INSTALL BLOGENGINE.NET WITH VISUAL STUDIO.

Yes there are lots of article on the internet that already describes how to do this, but that wont stop me from sharing my own idea on how I got mine rocking with visual studio 2012. Now here is the story, I woke up one morning and discovered I was departing from being a beginner programmer to a programmer who is at least worthy to be called a programmer. So I felt I needed to share my programming experience and the only known way I could do that, was to start blogging, hmmm... Just like you, I didn't like blogger, I needed  to be my own boss. So, I started my own blog project, but wait....  Why was I doing that when there are open source blog projects being developed and maintained by developers who are more "programmatically" experienced than I?. BlogEngine was the one I chose and the installation was a breeze. All I did was go to the site, downloaded the first zip file which is tagged "web", extracted it to my visual studio project directory, opened vi...

How to Check Logs or Journal of a Specific Service on Linux

Monitoring logs is an essential part of system administration. On Linux, logs help diagnose issues and track service behavior. This guide covers various ways to check logs for a specific service. Using journalctl for Systemd Services Most modern Linux distributions use systemd , and logs are stored in the journal. To view logs for a specific service, use: journalctl -u service-name.service Example for Nginx: journalctl -u nginx.service Viewing Real-Time Logs To follow logs in real time, use: journalctl -u service-name.service -f This is similar to tail -f for traditional log files. Checking Logs with a Time Filter To see logs from the last 1 hour: journalctl -u service-name.service --since "1 hour ago" For logs between two timestamps: journalctl -u service-name.service --since "2024-02-01 10:00" --until "2024-02-01 12:00" Using Traditional Log Files Some services log to files in /var/log/ . Check: ls /var/log/ For example, Nginx lo...
