Easy migrate your current Windows OS to SSD

Windows

If you plan to migrate your current OS to SSD you will need a tool which will help you move the system to the new the disk. In most cases SSD will be smaller then your current disk, so the tool should be able to shrink partitions during the operation.
There is a lot of tools available, but most of them are not free. I have used EaseUS Todo Backup Free which includes this functionality. In my case the disk had 5 partitions, but the OS partition was the third one, but even that was not problem for the EaseUS Todo Backup. It automatically shrunk the third partition, great job!
After you install the software, just click Clone button on the top and start migration in a few seconds.

Optimize images in CRON job

Cron

Google PageSpeed Insights may complain about images being not compressed enough. There are techniques which ensure lossless compression. When using JPG images you may compress them using jpegoptim, which may be run from the command line.

jpegoptim -s /var/www/html/images/*.jpg

The command will go through all jpg images in that folder and will perform lossless compression. The -s parameter will also ensure that all markers (eg. comments and EXIF data) will be removed.

Add music from your SD Card to Windows Media Player library

Windows Media Player

This solution is good for situations where you don’t have enough space on your hard disc, so you move it to your SD Card and have it plugged to the PC permanently.
You may have noticed that you are unable to select folders inside the SD Card. What you have to do is make the music folder on the SD Card shared (at least with yourself) and then add it to the Windows Media Player from the network share.

Block commit to SVN when Redmine issue is not specified

Redmine, SVN

Redmine allows to reference commits to issues by using keyword refs followed by # and number of the issue. If you want to block user commit to SVN without specifying Redmine issue you can use similar pre-commit hook on SVN. The hook is for Windows version.
