Gruffys Free Domain Parking Script

Gruffy’s Domain Parking Script is a simple and FREE script I created for domain names I have purchased with the intention of selling at a later date. Rather than have the name lying dormant, you can put it to work for you by making it advertise itself, as well as by displaying Google Ads which can make you money. This script can also be easily modified to suit regular parked domains.

Gruffy’s Domain Parking Script is made available here FREE of charge, I offer no warranties, support, and accept no responsibility for consequences of its use (unless you make heaps of money and want to give some of it to me). By downloading and using Gruffy’s Domain Parking Script you are confirming that you understand these conditions and acknowledge you are using it AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Easily find and delete BIG files that are taking up space on your Hard Drive

full-hard-driveEarlier today I tried to copy a large file I had made in Photoshop and I was told that the operation couldn’t complete because there wasn’t enough room on my hard drive for it. So, I needed a way to get a lot of space back, but I wasn’t sure what was taking up all of the room. I set about looking for ways to see what was going on on my drive and I happened upon some really great tools to help you visualize all your files. The process is called “Treemaps”.

I managed to find free Treemap programs for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. For Windows users, you need to get a copy of WinDirStat (Windows Directory Statistics) HERE. Once installed, you can start it up and tell it to either analyze your whole drive, or specific folders. Here’s how it looks.

There is two options for Mac users. Grand Perspective (Gets up and going really quickly, easy to use) and Disk Inventory X (Longer to scan but a more thorough and detailed interface). Here’s how Grand Perspective looks.

And this is how Disk Inventory X Looks.

For Linux users, you can get KDirStat HERE. I havent tried it yet, but it looks very similar to WinDirStat. This screen capture is from their site.They are all fairly easy to use. Just roll your cursor over the big ones and the filename appears in the bottom left corner of the window. You can then decide which files you want to delete, and start enjoying some free space on your hard drive again.

Disable and stop that annoying delete confirmation dialogue box in OSX Lion

delete-dialogue-boxI know that dialogue warning boxes are there for a reason, and they protect us from accidentally deleting stuff we don’t really want to delete, but I work with dozens of files, and dozens of versions of files at a time. If you are someone who has the need to delete files a lot, and likes to see the “Empty” trash can icon (like me) it is possible to disable that annoying “Are you sure you really want to empty your trash can, even though you just specifically right clicked on the icon and purposely selected the “empty trash” option?” dialogue box.

Click on your desktop to activate the finder, then under the “Finder” menu, select preferances.

delete-confirmation-dialogue-boxOnce you have selected “Preferences” and the preferences pane is open, its just a simple matter un-checking the “Show warning before emptying the Trash” option.

Its only a little thing I know, but if you are a true “Power-User”, this is a godsend that can save you a lot of extra clicks.
