Tutorial - Virtual Machine with Virtual box on Windows

I'll write about virtual machine in Windows. Sometimes, there is a particular program that we want to run but is plagued with compatibility Operating System (OS). For example there are applications that we know first run on WinXP but now after a try again in Win7 not be opened (crash). Or even it could also have a special application we need to work, but  application can only run on Windows while Linux-based computer.



Of course, we can use the system to plant two Dual Booting OS in one computer. But sometimes this method is less practical because more needs to be prepared such as set partitioning, manage files, etc.. In addition, if one day we already do not need a second OS, then the uninstall process was not easy. All too often ended up reformatting, and that means set the partitions and file again.

Actually, there is one practical solution to this, that is by using VirtualBox. With VirtualBox, you can as if making a new computer ( virtual machine ) and install it with the OS you want (Guest OS). More great again, you can run both at the same time, moving from guest to host and vice versa with ease. If it does not need anymore, you just delete it (remove) the virtual machine without a complex process.

Well, in this article I will explain about how to create a virtual machine using VirtualBox. Because many things to be explained, for convenience, so I split them up into several sections, namely:Download & installl Virtual Box, Virtual Machine http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifSetup & Guest OS, and the last is the setting. In this example, I will install WinXP in a virtual machine that will be created. As for his own VirtualBox I run across operating systems Win7. So, the Guest OS and Host OS = WinXP = Win7. Here are the steps:

DOWNLOAD & INSTALL VirtualBox

First download the installer once its in here . Select according to the type of OS you use.


1. After that run its installer file. Click Next> when VirtualBox Setup Wizard appears.

2. Then you can choose the installation location. Click Next> to continue.

3.Choose anywhere you want a shortcut is created, then click Next>

4. Usually will appear warning that the connection to the network is disconnected while on during the installation process. Just click Next>.

5. Click Install to begin the installation process.

6. If UAC appears, click Yes.

7. Up here you've managed to install VirtualBox. Click Finish to run the VirtualBox program

VIRTUAL MACHINE SETUP

Next you need to do is make her a virtual machine. Click New on VirtualBox Manager to get started. You will be greeted by the New Virtual Machine Wizard. Click Next to continue. Here you will choose what type of OS you want to install as guest OS. In this example we will install WinXP. Click Next when done select the type of OS. You can determine how much memory (RAM) for the virtual machine later. Move the slider to the desired number, then click Next.For the first time, make sure you men-centang/contreng Boot Hard Disk and also select Create new hard disk, If so, click Next. Next you will go to the Create New Virtual Disk Wizard. Click Next to continue. You can choose whether the size of virtual hard disk later this magnitude can change or always remain. For savings should you choose a dynamically expanding storage. Click Next if you have selected. Here you can choose the location where the virtual hard disk will be created, it also determines the maximum size hard disk (hard disk maximum size). VirtualBox by default suggested size is 10 G. But you also can set smaller as long as you believe that size is sufficient for your needs later. Click Next. This is a Summary of the Create New Virtual Disk Wizard. Click Finish. It appears that you already have a virtual machine called WinXP, although it is still empty. Now the next task is to fill this virtual machine with the Guest OS. Double-click on the entry to start WinXP.

You will be greeted by First Run Wizard. Just click Next.Here you will select the media you will use as a source installation. In this example I use WinXP CD (bootable of course), which I enter into Drive E (DVD ROM). If so, click Next. This is a Summary of the First Run Wizard. It's good here you have prepared her to drive installer that you selected earlier. Click Finish to begin the installation process. Display WinXP installation will start out. Press Enter to continue. Select Format the partition using the NTFS file system, then press Enter. Please wait until the WinXP installation process is complete. 

Congratulations, you now have a WinXP Guest OS on your virtual machine! Before you start "playing around" with this new virtual machine it's good to do some changes to the settings used to make you more comfortable in using it later. Some settings require the virtual machine in a non-active, some can only be done in the Guest OS Safe Mode. Thus, to present first shutdown the Guest OS you.

SETTING UP PROCCESS

This time will discuss about some important settings of your order the more comfortable in using your virtual machine. Make sure your virtual machine is turned off (powered off), then double-click to turn on and be prepared to press F8 as we will go into Safe Mode.


Choose Safe Mode, then Enter twice.
After entering Safe Mode, click Yes to close the window notification.
In the VirtualBox menu, select Devices -> Install Guest Additions.
It would appear the Windows Explorer . Double-click VBoxWindowsAdditions.
You will be greeted by the VirtualBox Guest Additions Setup Wizard. Click Next> to continue.
Select the installation location and click Next>.
If you plan to run an application in the Guest OS that require Direct3D (games for example), then make sure the Direct3D Support selected. If you already click Install.
Guest Additions installation process was completed. Click OK.
Click Finish to restart and get into WinXP as normal.
Next we'll create a Shared Folders. Usefulness is as a place to exchange (transfer) files between Guest and Host. The trick is to select Devices -> Shared Folders.
Click the Add button on the right side of the window.
In the Folder Path, select Other.
Specify the folder where you want shared.
Then select Auto-mount that folder directly at-shared automatically at startup.
Rekapnya be seen here. You also can create more than one Shared Folders if you wish. Click OK to finish.

Shared Folders will only begin to be used if you have to restart. But for now the Guest OS shutdown before you because we will make changes in the last settings via VirtualBox Manager.
Click Settings on the menu VirtualBox Manager.

Select the System tab on the left. Well here you can make settings memory (RAM) and also the Boot Order. In order for fast booting, select Hard Disk as the Boot Order first priority.

Select the Display tab and you can change the amount of Video Memory (VGA Card) and also activate the Enable 3D Acceleration feature. Click OK if it is.

Next run the virtual machine again. After entering Windows, try running Explorer. It appears that the Shared Folders now can be accessed.

Applications that can not be opened in Win7 are now able to run. 

an explanation of the technical steps to create a virtual machine and its installation with the Guest OS using VirtualBox. In this way, we seemed to have a "new computer" is ready to run. In the world of IT, many benefits to be gained by using this VirtualBox. A Java programmer who want to create a multi-platform applications, can use VirtualBox to test programs in various OS (Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, etc.).

Or someone who is studying to be a hacker, usually also will create a virtual machine to test the efficacy of scripts or artificial virus, without having to worry about major OS that is being used also infected. You can also experiment with VirtualBox it suits your needs.

Brief and Understandable History of SEO (search engine optimization), blog and Benefits

Search Engine Optimization, or commonly known as SEO it was already so well known, studied, etc. by the bloggers. It is quite understandable because of the existence of a blogger  one of them will be determined by penguasaanya SEO blog. There's even an opinion that states: mastering SEO means 50% of the online world already digenggaman tanggan. Why is that?


SEO can be given meaning as a set of resources and efforts made to improve the quality of the articles to be able to occupy the top position on search engines first page of search results with specific keywords. The goal there is no other page has a tremendous opportunity to visit search engine users, so that traffic will blog.

Because of such benefits, and as more online media usage in this world, the SEO becomes increasingly important and costly merchandise. Many products and business transactions born of SEO. SEO Company with any merchandise popping up, and it is increasingly brisk competition among bloggers worldwide. The minor question is since when SEO is known?

Danny Sullivan argued that the term SEO was first introduced on July 26, 1997 by a spam message posted on Usenet. The algorithm of search engines at the time was not yet sophisticated and complex that is still very easy to manipulate. Search algorithm based on the information through the meta tags on their blogs html code. Webmaster manipulated by writing the keyword that does not comply with the contents of the blog, so that search engines rank of the blog
.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, a Ph.D. student of computer science at Stanford University, overcome by building Back Rub, a simple search engine. Complex mathematical algorithms function calculation result of the combination of links that lead to a blog page with analysis of the quality of each link, then the algorithm is called Page Rank.

Based on the mechanism of Page Rank, it is ascertained that a blog page that ranks high is that many of the pages linked by other blogs. The higher the Page Rank value when the blog page linked by a link from high-quality sites like Yahoo, DMOZ, etc..

In 1998 Page and Brin founded Google, which is the development of BackRub, Google finally gain public confidence in its success provides Internet users with high-quality search results, fast, and relevant. Then a standard good page rank for webmasters to obtain Page Rank values ​​as high as possible.

Along with the development of search engine optimization blog then expanded in order to look good in front of search engines. The blogger (website manager) even manipulate, etc to win a competition. But hence also the search engines is growing with more perfect. At the beginning of these developments is the webmaster submits their blog address to the Search Engine, then SE responded by sending a web crawler or spider go to the blog in question. By working through page by page, then download the page to be indexed and stored in a database.

Then the program index search for information in these blogs to determine the level of page rank in accordance with the provisions of the formula search engine algorithms. As the increasingly tight competition to win the SEO bloggers bloom then find a way clever, evil, black to simply outsmart the system search engine. Its interests only one that won the top position on search engine result page.

Party search engines also continued to refine the system, and they seemed to compete with the bloggers from time to time. War of the ability to repair the system with the seeker system weaknesses eventually happen, until this moment.

Generally search engines designed a system to index the blog on the basis of which is based on several factors, among others:
1. The domain name
2. Title
3. Html Tags
4. Keywords used
5. Image file name (alt attribute)
6. Frequency of website updates
7. Sitemap
8. Keyword density (density)
9. etc.

From some of the above of course the fighters struggle SEO can menyesuakan direction. Thus the activists surveyed SEO keywords, optimization through SEO Onpage, optimization through SEO Offpage and others. Similarly, brief exposure of the history of SEO, may benefit.

Important notes about Network cables

There are two types of cable commonly used in the manufacture of the first Network Cable is a twisted pair of UTP (unshielded twisted pair) and STP (shielded twisted pair) then the second coaxial cable. But now it is often used in making the network is the type of UTP cable

Known 2 pieces of this type of UTP cable connection, which is a straight cable and crossover cable. The function of each type of connection is different, straight cable used to connect computers to the hub / router / switching, while the crossover cable used to connect computers to the computer and also connect from the hub / router / switching to a hub / router / switching

In accordance with International Standards are the colors of the existing wires in UTP cable that is White Orange, Orange, White Green, Blue, White / Blue, Green, White Chocolate, Chocolate. and connectors are used for this cable is RJ45

To facilitate it in the manufacture of straight cable and crossover cable Suppose we have 2 types of cable arrangement which is type A with Structure White / Orange, Orange, White Green, Blue, White / Blue, Green, White Chocolate, Chocolate And White Namely Type B Green, Green , White / Orange, Blue, White / Blue, Orange, White Chocolate, Chocolate.Where is said is that if the tip of a straight cable with one end only using one type (A only or B only), while said cable crossover where two ends of UTP cable manggunakan different cable (one end using a Type-A and other end use Type B)

How to merge multiple images into one image - Java ImageIO

My previous post shows how to split an image into chunks. Now let's see how to merge multiple images into one image. Say we need to concatenate following four image chunks. I got these chunks by splitting the image in the right hand side, using the image splitter.





















Following code shows how to concatenate the image chunks above into one image.

  1. int rows = 2; //we assume the no. of rows and cols are known and each chunk has equal width and height 
  2. int cols = 2; 
  3. int chunks = rows * cols; 

  4. int chunkWidth, chunkHeight; 
  5. int type; 
  6. //fetching image files 
  7. File[] imgFiles = new File[chunks]; 
  8. for (int i = 0; i < chunks; i++) { 
  9. imgFiles[i] = new File("archi" + i + ".jpg"); 

  10. //creating a bufferd image array from image files 
  11. BufferedImage[] buffImages = new BufferedImage[chunks]; 
  12. for (int i = 0; i < chunks; i++) { 
  13. buffImages[i] = ImageIO.read(imgFiles[i]); 
  14. type = buffImages[0].getType(); 
  15. chunkWidth = buffImages[0].getWidth(); 
  16. chunkHeight = buffImages[0].getHeight(); 

  17. //Initializing the final image 
  18. BufferedImage finalImg = new BufferedImage(chunkWidth*cols, chunkHeight*rows, type); 

  19. int num = 0; 
  20. for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) { 
  21. for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++) { 
  22. finalImg.createGraphics().drawImage(buffImages[num], chunkWidth * j, chunkHeight * i, null); 
  23. num++; 
  24. System.out.println("Image concatenated....."); 
  25. ImageIO.write(finalImg, "jpeg", new File("finalImg.jpg"));
