How to disable Chrome PDF Viewer in Google Chrome and reenable the Acrobat Reader plugin
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/07
Google Chrome integrated a PDF viewer that is far less functional than Adobe Reader.
In fact: if you had Adobe Reader as PDF viewer, Google Chrome will just use their own.
One of the things I use a lot is the multi-page view (2 page next to each other; fits nicely on a 1920×1200 screen).
It is actually pretty easy to switch back: Read the rest of this entry »

The #reflector licensing debacle
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/06
Earlier this week, Red Gate announced that the new Reflector version 7 would cost USD 35, as of March 2011, and the current free version 6.6 will expire on May 30th, 2011.
That caused a lot of stir, on their forum, twitter, reddit and a lot of other places. Even an old thread at StackOverflow got a new boost. It seems Red Gate did not read Social media judo: How to turn a fight into a brand-building moment.
Here is a summary of the past, present and future of things happening around reflector, including some workarounds and alternative products.
First a bit of history.
Lutz Roeder over the years developed .NET Reflector as a free tool. A few hightlights: Read the rest of this entry »

Research item: Online Backup of All Your Data.
The indicate that for USD 5 a month, they backup everything but files larger than 9 gigabyte, and provide unlimited storage.
My RAW photo collection is at least a TB; so lets see what they think of that.

#Mozilla and coincidental conflicting #codenames: #Chromeless, #Prism, #Firebird
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/02/04
It seems Mozilla has developed a history of conflicting codenames.
A few years ago, they stopped using the name FireBird because of the pre-existing Firebird open source database.
Today they have Chromeless replace Prism.
Delphi Prism is in use by RemObjects since 2008 as name for their RAD tool for the .NET platform (both Microsoft .NET and Mono).
The Delphi Prism compiler is called Oxygene, but used to be called Chrome from 2005 till 2008.
Prism is in use by Microsoft since 2009 the name of a composite application guidance for WPF and Silverlight.
Chromeless sounds like a prank on Chrome which since 2008 is in use by Google for their browser.
So, two questions:
- What will be the next coincidental codename that Mozilla is going to use
- Did I miss any code names conflicting with prior product names?
