October 19, 2008 by Jason

The Visual Round Trip Analyzer was initially an internal Microsoft tool, which the Redmond company is now offering as a free download. Designed as a webpage performance visualizer and analyzer, according to the software company, Visual Round Trip Analyzer runs on top of Network Monitor 3.2 and is set up to offer a comprehensive perspective over the download of a specific webpage. The Redmond giant indicated that VRTA comes with support for Windows Vista RTM and SP1, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 SP1 and Windows Server 2008.

“The Visual Round Trip Analyzer tool helps web developers and testers visualize the download of their page, identify best practices and changes that improve performance. The Round-Trip between the client and server(s) is the single biggest impact to web page performance - much greater than server response time. VRTA examines the communications protocol, identifying the causes of excessive round-trips, and recommending solutions,” Microsoft informed. Read More»

Analyze Multiple Worksheets in Excel

Excel’s PivotTable feature can handle this request, but you have to invoke it with an uncommon setting called Multiple Consolidation Ranges. This is only the second time I’ve needed that particular setting. First, let’s get all the required data into a single consolidation workbook. Rather than make copies, we’ll create links to the original data. Create a new workbook and insert a worksheet for each of the workbooks you want to consolidate. Click one worksheet tab, then Ctrl-Click the rest to select them all. Enter “Item” in cell A1 and “Source” in cell B1. Because the tabs are all selected, these entries will appear in every worksheet. Click a single tab to end the multiple selection.

Open the first of the source workbooks and highlight just the list of items. Copy it to the clipboard. Switch to the consolidation workbook and click in cell A2 of the corresponding worksheet. Read More»

The same way you take care of your car,with its oil changes,tweaks and tune up you should take care of your pc.Your computer (specially your Operating System) need alot of care,it is constantly working by modifying files,sometimes those modifications cause errors which then your pc logs and starts to slow down your computer, same has with the registry when it gets cluttered and alot of other sections.These are some good free utilities I have found, I think they do a pretty good job but to tell you the truth I dont use any, I always say you can find freeware thats equally good to paywares if not better,it doesnt look like the case with this.

If you have any extra cash,I really would suggest you buy TuneUp Utilities,I use it on a daily basis and might post a review on it soon.
