If you use Mac and Windows machines, then – despite the Mac keyboards – it sometimes is handy to use Mac to remote login to a Windows machine.
For that, the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1 (especially the download <g>) comes in handy.

The Camera Shutter Life Database can give you some indication how long the shutter of your DSLR can last.
Both my Nikon body types are listed: The site has an entry for the Nikon D300, and the D700.
At the end of each page, you can upload your own shutter counts.

The RDP to VMware host running an XP guest: Invisible Mouse Cursor on Text Editors problem is not limited to RDP-ing into the VMware host, but also happens on some hosts themselves (including my ThinkPad W701 running Windows 7 x64).
This VMware Communities: Invisible Mouse Cursor on Text Editors … thread (that has a different host configuration: Vista) comes up with 2 different solutions that both work:
Since less hardware acceleration also means far less performance, I’ve opted for the first solution.

Regeling vitaliteitssparen bekend. Ofwel: de levensloopregeling (die bedoeld was voor de lange termijn) wordt afgeschaft en alles wat je er aan geld in hebt zitten moet je volgend jaar opmaken.
Zie je al die werkgevers al voor je die nu ineens het verzoek krijgen van werknemers die in 1 jaar meer dan een half jaar levensloopverlof willen opnemen?
Het is de zoveelste keer dat de overheid zich als een onbetrouwbare partij toont.
Deze keer schaadt het voor de verandering niet 1 partij: het pakt in 1 klap zowel werknemers als werkgevers.
Hoe triest ook: Ik begrijp wel dat een boel mensen zich zo langzamerhand steeds minder van de overheid aantrekken.

Sometimes when you start Delphi 2005..2010 multiple times, you get an error message similar to this:
[Error]
Cannot create file "C:\DOCUME~1\username\LOCALS~1\Temp\EditorLineEnds.ttr". The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
[OK]
Edit: It looks like some people have issues with Delphi 2006 and higher in combination with Windows 7 and higher and KB2982791 or KB2993651 installed. I only do for Delphi 2006 (for 2007 and higher I use the IdeFixPack from Andreas Hausladen). Thomas Mueller wrote a workaround which works in Delphi 2006 and up: Delphi 2007 error: “Cannot create file C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\EditorLineEnds.ttr” – Stack Overflow.
Since there are [WayBack] are [WayBack] a [WayBack] few [WayBack] QC [WayBack] entries on the EditorLineEnds.ttr file: what is it?
In fact, there are two files in that %TEMP% directory: EditorLineEnds.ttr and EditorLineEnds.for
EditorLineEnds.ttr is a TrueType font (you can copy it to EditorLineEnds.ttf and view it using the font viewer that Windows has built-in). Read the rest of this entry »

I’m at the BASTA.NET conference, so I need to keep this short:
Be sure to get Delphi XE2 Update 1 and read the release notes. You will need it in order to apply future updates, which will come soon and often: a big change when compared to previous product releases.
You will need do a full uninstall/install cycle, which will take a while.
On the Mac, you will also need to uninstall/install the Delphi XE 2 FireMonkey iOS support package as well.
It is worth it: tons of bug fixes, and an importent fix to comply with licensing (the first XE2 version had a license issue with the GLScene: if you have 3D apps, then Installing Update 1 and rebuilding your source will ensure that your applications have a valid redistributable license).
Bug fixes (over 120!) are in these areas:

I forgot to blog on this while prepping for Delphi Tage and DelphiLive, so here it goes (BLTN, no, not that movie):

We now have a pre-release of GExperts 1.35 available for download that supports RAD Studio XE2. We especially appreciate your help testing FireMonkey and 64-bit compatibility, support for unit scope prefixes, etc.

This morning I gave a well attended session at the BASTA.NET conference on .NET Cross Platform Mobile Development on Windows 7, Android and iOS
If you were attending my session, or just interested in Cross Platform Development with a touch – pun intended – of .NET (and Mono, MonoTouch, MonoDroid, MonoMac, Xcode) then you can download the materials here: http://bo.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/changes/70132 and http://bo.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/changes/70133 (yes, 2 change sets: somehow with SVN “Check for modifications” I still missed part of the batch).
It consists of the PDF with session slides and the demo apps based on an old (.NET 1.1 and .NET Compact Framework 1.0 era) C# tic tac toe demo (which was based on some Turbo Pascal sources from 20+ years ago), now revived for the Windows Phone 7 (with Visual Studio), iOS (with MonoTouch) and Android (with MonoDroid) platforms.
The conference is held at the beautifully designed Rheingoldhalle conference center adjacent to the Rhine (German: Rhein) river in Mainz, Germany.
Oh: and I enjoyed a bit of the great weather outside (while it lasts <g>).
