Alright, it's been a long time, but I'm going to get back to working on my goals and blogging about it.
But First!
I'm actually busy working on an app, so I'm just going to drop some knowledge before I forget. I got a new Asus, and it's pretty rad, but it has this dumb problem of auto-hiding my task bar in Windows 7 every time it goes to sleep, it restarts, or I plug/unplug the power.
To fix this, do the following:
-navigate to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options
-there you'll see your selected power option
-click "change plan settings" next to it
-click "change advanced power settings" towards the bottom
-here you'll find all kinds of useful features you can turn on and off dependent on the current mode
-find "ASUS P4G Power Setting"
-find "Battery Saving Desktop"
-disable it when you're plugged in or on battery
Unfortunately, there are a bunch of clever things this does to squeeze a little more life out of your battery (like turning off many of the Windows 7 effects), but I HATE auto-hiding the task bar. Although, if you want to save power AND show your task bar, you could always manually turn off all the Windows 7 effects that this power settings changes.
And there you have it. I'll be posting about my current projects soon. Now, back to work.
