Bitbucket Installation
I have a need to create code repository locally. I don't want to use code repo in the cloud. Bitbucket is the winner!

CREATE DATABASE bitbucket WITH ENCODING='UTF8' OWNER=bitbucketuser CONNECTION LIMIT=-1;
\q
>

Office 365 & Squid
I had an issue today. My Outlook does not want to connect to office 365 when I setup IE to use SQUID for the proxy. Apparently some of the O365 URLs are resolving up to 25 IP Addresses and depending on the location, some of the connection might get rejected.
By default SQUID only tries the first 10 connections. To change this, edit the squid.conf and add:
forward_max_tries 25
save, restart SQUID instance. Enjoy

Proxy Enforcer
I developed this little utility while doing proxy migration project. This utility helps me to enforce the Windows proxy settings to IE.
You can add Proxy by clicking the "Add Proxy" button, which gives you the same configuration like Windows

Once your proxy setting is added to the list, highlight the proxy and click "Select Proxy" to enforce the selected proxy to your IE. The program will run on the TaskBar.
