Windows 8 Windows-key shortcuts (via: Windows 8 productivity: Who moved my cheese?)
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/08/27
Brilliant post on using the Window-key for shortcuts with Windows 8 (all Windows 7 Windows-key shortcuts work, plus many more): Windows 8 productivity: Who moved my cheese? Oh, there it is. – Scott Hanselman.

Is Embarcadero going to use a way around WinRT sideloading only being available on Windows 8 Enterprise SKUs?
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/08/27
One of the Enterprise SKU of Windows 8 is that it allows side-loading of WinRT apps. It gives you the opportunity to load internally developed Metro-style applications that use WinRT on Windows 8 without a developers license installed on that Windows 8 machine.
This feature was described on many sources, including:
- Introducing Windows 8 Enterprise and Enhanced Software Assurance for Today’s Modern Workforce.
- The Windows 8 Enterprise SKU: Windows To Go and new Software Assurance benefits | Ars Technica.
- What’s in the new Windows 8 Enterprise SKU | ZDNet.
But since many apps (including Delphi written apps as they cannot link to the Visual C++ Run-Time DLL) don’t directly run on WinRT, there is a clear demand of enabling this side-loading feature for non-Enterprise SKUs of Windows 8:
The last link describes a way to circumvent this, and I think that is what Embarcadero is aiming at to enable Delphi XE3 Metropolis style applications to run on WinRT:
- Sideloading for Delphi on Windows 8? – DelphiTools.info.
- Windows 8 sideloading and Embarcadero’s Metropolis fake-WinRT framework « Tim Anderson’s ITWriting.
Note I updated my Delphi WinRT link clearance post with the last two links.

UPC FiberPower – setting up the Cisco EPC3000 modem
Posted by jpluimers on 2012/08/27
If ever UPC has an outage like this again, and I need to fiddle with the Cisco EPC3000 cable modem…
From the manual (edited for typos and readability):
- Indien modem niet binnen enkele minuten vanzelf online komt: breng het modem online door via de browser van jouw laptop naar: http://192.168.100.1/gscan.asp te gaan.
Voer handmatig de frequentie 306750000 in en klik op ‘Click here restart your cable modem’. (Achter de RT hubs, Rotterdam gebied, is de frequentie 308000000)- Wanneer de modem online is controleer je de retoursignalen van de modem door op de modem in te loggen.
Dit doe je door de volgende link te gebruiken: http://192.168.100.1/signal.asp.
Controleer in dit scherm de waarde “Power Level”. Als dit level 55 dBmV of hoger is (55-58) moet je contact opnemen met UPC.
And yes,
- the button on the Cisco indeed reads “Click here restart your cable modem”.
- they switch from “het modem” to “de modem”
Some links I might need then: Read the rest of this entry »
