I had an issue were I needed to know what channel the wireless networks around me were using so I can change it to one that is less active witch will increase your wireless range and speed.
The quickest way to do this with out using any third party software is to run the following command right form your command prompt.
1. from the Start menu in the search type > CMD
2. when the command prompt loads up type > netsh wlan show network mode=bssid
You will get all the following information about the wireless networks around you:
example:
SSID X : NAMEWIFI
Network type : Infrastructure
Authentication : WPA2-Personal
Encryption : CCMP
BSSID 1 : XX:XX:XX:XX
Signal : 80%
Radio type : 802.11n
Channel : 6
Basic rates (Mbps) : 1 2 5.5 11
Other rates (Mbps) : 6 9 12 18 24 36 48 54
TIP: You can also save the file to a location by using the following command instead:
> netsh wlan show network mode=bssid > c:\test.txt

Wordpress SNOW how to bring it back!
As many of you might have seen after Jan 4th each year Wordpress Turns off the snow option under the general settings of your website. I wanted to keep it longer this year because out here it's still snows way after January 4th I searched around for some Snow Plugin that will keep the same or similar effect, after going through about 5 the closet one I found was called:
WP Snowfall Plugin
Here is a link to the plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-snowfall/
Let me know if anyone out there has a better one. The only thing I don't like about this one is that it doesn't respond to the mouse activity like the original wordpress snowfall. It's also my understanding that the option is seasonal and there is no way to bring it back.
