I haven’t gone anywhere.
Between work, peeking at Windows 8, and working on a new revision of the 7 tweak guide I’ve been really busy (oh, and watching football!).
The revision of the 7 tweak guide includes a revised Bad Tweaks section (posted below) and an all new Pagefile section among other things.
Thanks for the notes, it’s nice to be missed!

Bad Tweaks
(last edited 25 September, 2011)
The following is a list of Windows tweaks that either do not work, do not work as advertised, or that are better left alone.
Many of these once worked in some version of Windows and virtually every tweak guide and program use or has used these tweaks. My guide also used to contain some of them. It has taken a considerable amount of research and testing to come to these conclusions. While others have incorporated these into other guides and tried to pass it on as their own work I’ve done the investigation and benchmarking (and AFAIK I was the first to publish these en masse on the web). I’ve Googled up one side of the net and down the other. Sometimes I think I’ve seen every page at Microsoft. I’ve hosed installs, applied and removed settings, and spent more time tracking the registry than I care to admit (far more than I would like my wife to know about!).
The original version of this guide was part of my XP Tweak Guide.

Previously discussed in this post, I’ve got some more info on PerfectCache.
1 – Raxco now has a product page up here: PerfectCache 5.0
2 – There is anew video and blog post over at their blog: PerfectCache in action — automatic disk caching demo
3 – Reader Redseujac was right about the price. It is $79.99 USD (on sale, regular $99.99).
4 – According to Joe Abusamra at Racxo the program is powered by the SuperSpeed engine. ( I am assuming it is this program)
My thoughts so far.
I haven’t had time to do any real benchmarking on this program (for whatever they are worth) nor any real world testing. Programs seemed a little snappier but other than that I haven’t noticed anything spectacular. Eventually I will get around to testing it out more (but not any time soon).
For me the price is prohibitive, even at the $80 sale price.

I’ve started using WPtouch to give readers the option of using a version of the site for mobile devices. According to the plugin author, WPtouch supports the following devices:
Currently the Apple iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, Google Android mobile devices, Blackberry OS6 devices like the Torch and new Bold, most Samsung touch devices, and Palm Pre/Pixi. The vast majority of smartphone web-browsing traffic will see your WPtouch Pro theme.
How does it look on your device? (click on thumbnail below to see how it looks on my phone)
