Uses of a Video Splitter
Filed Under (Computer) by publisher

Every computer has a set of serial and USB ports that are normally used to accommodate a wide range of devices spanning from communications and networking to storage. However, when it comes to serial ports, there are only two on each computer compared to almost twice the number of USB ports made available to computer users.

This is where one can use an USB serial cable adapter that converts a USB port into a serial port which can then be used for a slew of communication devices that are the latest items to take the market by storm such as modems, printers, PDAs, digital cameras and so on and so forth. With the addition of a few more serial ports, you should be able to connect more than two of these devices and use them seamlessly along with the devices connected with your normal serial ports.

Another device is the video splitter that enables one to be able to split visuals and transmit them to several screens such as the kinds that you see in trade expositions, business presentations with a large crowd.

And this brings us to another device that is related to audio-visuals and which allows people to connect an additional monitor or an LCD projector to your computer so that you can have that dual-monitor capability and which facilitates greater productivity at work. Yes, we’re talking about the USB video adapter that enables people to avoid the unnecessary headache of having to add an internal video card to their computer as well.

PHP and Caching Issues
Filed Under (Programming) by publisher

Back in the day when webpages were nothing more than HTML, caching was a very handy feature. Browsers simply checked with the server to see if there were any updates to the page and in the event there weren’t any, picked up the page from the cache and displayed it. This was especially useful because in those days, internet access was via Dial-Up Modems. Transferring pages that were full of graphics was time consuming and took up all the bandwidth.

However, the advent of PHP and Dynamic webpages has nullified the use of the browser cache. This is because of two particular problems.
1. When the server gets a request for a page, the process of parsing the scripts has to be completed before the page can be served up. Therefore a delay factor comes into play. Although this may not be a problem when dealing with small scripts, complex scripts will take a lot more time. Therefore the user will always experience a noticeable lag between the request and delivery of the page.

2. Generally a web server, such as Apache, informs the browser of any changes to a page using the time of modification of the file. With PHP based pages, the script is not likely to change very frequently. But the content will change and the server has no way of knowing if it has changed because the content is held in a database. In this case the server sends no information regarding the modification time and always served a fresh copy of the page.

The USB IDE Adaptor
Filed Under (Technology) by publisher

One of the most interesting forms of technology that has taken the computer world by storm is USB technology that is applicable for virtually any type of device that can be connected to a computer. Take for example, the USB IDE adapter, which allows one to connect an external hard drive to their computer if they do not want to add another internal hard drive.

Since storage devices use the IDE interface format, one simply needs to connect the external hard drive to the computer using a USB device, and in no time, you can start storing information on the drive much like your internal hard drives.

Another example is the use of a docking station that consists of different types of port such as serial and USB ports and so on and so forth which one can use then to connect more devices but not having to unplug the others devices connected to the USB and serial ports already being used.

Another interesting device is the USB serial cable that provides one with more serial ports than just the two that almost every computer provides. Obviously this gives one more computing options for devices that require serial ports.

With all these devices at one’s disposal, the options that are made available to a user are numerous, while also keeping the expenditure at a minimum. Not only do these options make one’s life easier but they do not hurt the pocket as well.
