How to use CrashPlan but not suffer from using so much RAM memory
How to use CrashPlan but not suffer from using so much RAM memory
I use CrashPlan to backup my data as mentioned in a previous article � it�s free for local backups and for sharing HDD space using multiple friends� HDD space. I have noticed that the RAM usage goes up in proportion to the number of files that you have selected to backup � even during the time when the backups are disabled. 
The settings to limit the time that CrashPlan does the backups can be found in the CrashPlan Desktop interface under �Settings->Backup->Between Specified Times�. I have selected From 18:00 to 08:00 and ticked each day � so that backups only happen at night daily. 
I noticed that even when the backup was disabled, the CrashPlanService was using a lot of RAM memory (over 500MB) � and I found my PC swapping to disc all the time � which was slowing my PC down � a bit of a waste! So, I found a way to create a schedule that stopped the CrashPlanService just after 08h00 and start it again just before 18h00.
Creating a scheduled task to kill the service:
Open the �Control Panel->Administrative Tools-> Task Scheduler�
Click into �Microsoft->Windows�: 
and under �Add arguments� enter: /IM CrashPlanService.exe /F 
Creating a scheduled task to start the service:
Click on �Create Task�: 
and under �Add arguments� enter: start CrashPlanService
Your tasks list should look like this:
You can test the tasks by right clicking the task and selecting �Run�:
With thanks to Scott Granneman for his blog that describes the steps to do this in Linux.

iLogic Suppress Components in all but the Active Level of Detail
iLogic Suppress Components in all but the Active Level of Detail
Issue:
Your assembly has several Level of Detail Representations set up, which works well. The problem is that when you add a new component to the assembly, you have to go to each Level of Detail and suppress the component in order to prevent it from showing up in those existing Level of Detail Representations.
Solution:
Here is an iLogic rule that will suppress any selected components in all of the other LODs, with the exception of the active LOD.
This allows you to place the component in the assembly with the LOD you want to add the component to set active, then select the component (or components) and run this iLogic rule to remove the component(s) from the other LODs.
This iLogic rule also doesnt suppress the selected components in the standard LODs, such as the "Master" LOD, the "All Content Center Suppressed" LOD, etc.
Note too that it saves the file each time one of the other LODs is modified in order to make the changes "stick", so if you have a large assembly with many LODs it might take a bit for this rule to run.
IE6 finally falls below 5 market share but IE up overall as Firefox and Chrome dip
IE6 finally falls below 5 market share but IE up overall as Firefox and Chrome dip
The third quarter of 2013?s browser war is now over. September saw the sixth full month of IE10 availability on Windows 7, as well as the release of Firefox 24 and one full month of Chrome 29 availability. The latest market share numbers from Net Applications show Internet Explorer was the biggest winner last month.
Between August and September, IE gained 0.19 percentage points (from 57.60 percent to 57.79 percent), Firefox slipped 0.22 percentage points (from 18.80 percent to 18.58 percent), and Chrome dipped 0.02 percentage points (from 16.00 percent to 15.98 percent). Safari meanwhile gained 0.18 percentage points to 5.77 percent and Opera slipped 0.06 percentage points to 1.47 percent.
At 57.79 percent, Internet Explorer has hit a new high for the year. January was the first time the browser went back above the 55 percent mark, and while the next few months have shown it won�t be losing that crown anytime soon, it still has a long way to go before the 60 percent mark.
At 19.45 percent in September, IE10 has slowed its growth, although it has still managed to grab another 0.80 percent share. Meanwhile, IE9 has regained 0.43 percentage points, to 9.45 percent. Soon IE11 will be following in its predecessor�s footsteps, given that it will be available for both Windows 7 and Windows 8.
IE8 meanwhile slipped 0.26 percentage points, but it�s still the world�s most popular browser at 21.39 percent. The real tragedy here is that IE10 is mainly stealing share from IE9 on Windows 7, since Windows XP users can�t upgrade past IE8.
IE7 was down 0.17 percentage points to 1.37 percent and IE6 slipped a huge 1.22 percentage points to 4.86 percent. This means it has finally fallen below the 5 percent mark, which we weren�t expecting till sometime later this year.
At 18.58 percent, Firefox seems to be maintaining its new low. The last three months aside, the last time we saw the browser at 18 percent was way back in May 2008. Firefox 24 was just released, so it only managed to grab 2.17 percent share, while Firefox 23 hit 11.57 percent. All the other versions lost share: Firefox 22 fell 6.14 points, Firefox 21 lost 0.15 points, and Firefox 20 dipped 0.06 points.
At 15.98 percent, Chrome is close to its 21-month low in May. Chrome 29 grabbed 12.82 percentage points after being available for a full month. All other versions were down or flat: Chrome 28 lost 9.13 points, Chrome 27 slipped 0.21 points, while Chrome 26 and Chrome 25 lost a combined 0.03 points.
Net Applications uses data captured from 160 million unique visitors each month by monitoring some 40,000 websites for its clients. StatCounter is another popular service for watching market share moves; the company looks at 15 billion page views. To us, it makes more sense to keep track of users than page views.
Nevertheless, for September 2013, StatCounter listed Chrome as first with 40.80 percent market share, IE in second with 28.56 percent, Firefox in third with 18.36 percent, Safari with 8.52 percent, and Opera with 1.16 percent. The only part everyone agrees on is that Safari and Opera are not in the top three.
