As Matthew pointed out last December[^], using AdBlockPlus can dramatically slow down your browser, and eat memory like it's the last bacon sandwich on Earth.
Scott Hanselman's just posted a link to a new alternative: µBlock[^]. It claims to have a much lower memory footprint, much lower CPU, and block more ads.
Might come in handy for people who keep lots of browser tabs open!

Installed it and de-installed AdBlock 
I probably won't even notice on this machine, but only thinking it's faster is worth something already

Hmmm, I installed it yesterday and it seems the browser is faster.
But now Avast is whining about it...saying it has a poor reputation.

Strange - does Avast give you any more details?
It's possibly just that very few Avast users have installed the plugin, so the reputation system doesn't know about it.

I looked for details and couldn't find any.
Even more strange, I only got the warning on one of my two machines.
Anyways, uBlock fails to block an ad that AdAware does block, so for now, back to AdAware.

After a clean restore of my laptop and removing bloated ware of manufacturer, its clean,lean and fast.
Now I am in the stage where I need to load mp3 in my Ipod.
So can anyone save the soul of my laptop by suggesting some way to load mp3 without the iTunes  .
Internet has so much information that I am not able to select between crap and real info.
So any personal experience?
cheers,
Super

Spotify can work with your iDevice, but maybe that's just out of the frying pan and into the fire?

I use foobar2000 with the ipod manager plugin.

WINAMP!!!
I know it's pretty much dead, but you can still actually download the latest version.
Just plugin your iPod, start up WinAmp, add mp3s to your library and drag/drop mp3's to your iPod device.
You can also listen to the mp3s on your iPod using WinAmp.
You'll get no auto-sync (preferably the wrong way), erroneous auto-tagging and other crap that iTunes usually does.
WinAmp, it really kicks the llama's iTunes ass!

Following the proud tradition in the Lounge of responding to such questions with completely irrelevant answers, I'll suggest buying a Pioneer turntable, an Hitachi dual cassette deck, and a Bose amp and speakers.
You can then use that lot to load up tapes for a Walkman.

Started out by rewriting a SQL procedure that could take up to 15 minutes to take up to 4 seconds (that felt goooood).
Rewrote some code to have a page refresh instantly instead of taking 5 - 10 seconds (felt pretty good too).
Wrote a small document for work on some architecture we had discussed.
Looked into some SQL Server database backup stuff because we need a good backup/restore plan (still looking into it, tips are welcome).
Tried to create some space on a HD in Windows Server 2008 R2, unfortunately not much could be gained.
Dealt with sometimes performing queries (for which I now have some possible causes and solutions thanks to QA, awesome! ).
Solved a stupid HTML, CSS and Knockout.js issue.
Were I still with my former employer my week would be like this: Do C# stuff.
Not saying my previous employer was bad or anything, but the work wasn't very diverse.
I'm not regretting getting a new job

Count your blessings; my week is generally "do SSIS stuff".

I think any "do X stuff" job becomes boring after a while. I want to do X and Y and Z and...
It's now mostly C# and SQL Server though. Some front-end with HTML, JavaScript and CSS.
And some incidental random thing like write a document, do some research, etc.
I'm not ruling out some Java and Oracle later though

Totally agree.
I generally find the bigger the company, the narrower the scope of your job.
IMHO the more hats you get to wear, the more job satisfaction you have.

The company I work for now is actually about three times as big as my previous company.
We're still talking small though. I went from about 10 people at my previous job to 30 people at my new job.
The biggest difference is the number of programmers. 3 at my old job, 30 (ok, more like 27) at my new job
And the techniques used. My previous employer was all about Microsoft and WinForms and didn't want to know about anything else beyond Microsoft.
My new employer is mostly web using Java, .NET, Delphi, Oracle, SQL Server, and basically anything the customer requests
And I want to share two actual quotes made by both employers.
Old employer: "We want to specialize, meaning that you, as a C# programmer, can focus entirely on C# while our database experts can worry about the database and the functional aspect."
New employer: "We specialize in being all-round."
I'll have to elaborate on the quote by my old employer. Somehow database and functional (meaning writing requirements, specs and being team lead) always went together for them and when you knew one you were assumed to know the other. A ridiculous stance which made me decide to leave

That's cool, but more importantly, is my boss proud of me? He pays my bills, not Chuck Norris 
Nevermind... Chuck Norris just called, he wants me in Expandables 4!

Sounds like a typical afternoon here at CodeProject central. Always something 'interesting' to keep the hamsters at bay and supercharge their wheels.

I can imagine 11,225,333 members of which 62,380 are online right now are giving you headaches from time to time
Some of them even give me a headache!
