Google Desktop – connection refused error

Hello,

I had this problem with google desktop: Local querys were giving this error:The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:4664

I noticed that the problem was only on firefox, not IE. Then I found that the problem was an add-on called “Y-Slow” that was installed on my firefox and that was causing some incompatibility issue width google desktop.

Just disable every add-on in firefox when something starts smelling bad..

Source path too long error installing eclipse

Today I was trying to install Spring Source Tool Suite. Downloaded it and next step was simply extract the zip file (I’m using windows) to a folder.

The problem is that plugins in eclipse now use a very long pathname and that causes the extract tool in windows to give an error.

Winrar (the old version I use) also has the same problem. Solution: User 7-zip!

That’s all!

Hibernation not working in Vista ??

vista_hibernateI got this toshiba U400 with vista on it. It’s just the system that came with it… ok? So I also know that vista has issues, but I think that it also has come cool stuff, so I’m just waiting for Windows 7 like everyone else.. or just like many people. The last problem with my vista was that the hibernation thing, that I use heavly, stoped working.

This was a big problem because, I simply don’t like to wait for a all boot up every time I need to use the PC. So I suspected that the last update screw it up. I executed the restore program, to the moment before the last update and voilá! Hibernation is back again.vista_updates

Now, I changed the option to manual updates.

Finally, thanks to this site there’s another problem with my other PC that was due some file got wiped accidently. So enter command prompt width administrator and just execute: powercfg /hibernate on.

Problem solved!

Interfaces e Classes

Quantas vezes já vos aconteceu estarem a analisar código java e, quando clicam num método, em vez do eclipse saltar para a implementação do mesmo, apresenta a interface porque é isso que na realidade está a ser referenciado. No entanto, o que se pretende é ver a implementação. Muito bem… É só fazer CTRL+T. E violá! O eclipse apresenta uma lista das classes que implementam aquele método. Como diria o Jamie Oliver…. Brilliant!

Firefox doesn’t open more than one window

Yes! Finally I found the problem that’s been nagging me for a long time!

Firefox wasn’t able to open more than one window. Doesn’t matter if I click CTRL+N or try to open another instance by executing the application from the desktop icon.

So the answer for me was: disable AVG extension. This was a huge fix because I’m so in to extensions, that I can’t use any other alternative like Chrome, until it allows gestures. For me is really much easier to browse with gestures than have to point an click throught close tab, back button, etc.firefox-extension

So here it is! Comment if it didin’t work for you (maybe  it’s another bad behavior extension).
