Mac: Restarting the Mac OS X Dock, Finder, Spaces or Menubar | Stefan Ernst

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/11/29

Only a few more posts left in my “Missed Schedule” backlog. This one was from September 28, and I just needed it again today as Spotlight had some visual leftovers on one of my VMware Fusion desktops.

Thanks to Stefan Ernst:

The Finder crashed:

killall -KILL Finder

The Dock,  DashBoard Widgets, or Spaces (on 10.5/10.6 – Leopard/Snow Leopard) crashed:

killall -KILL Dock

Any workaround for this SQL Server Management Studio threading issue?

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/11/29

I just got this error when SQL Server Management Studio 2012 was complaining about the owner of a certain SQL Server 2012 database and tried to copy that message to the clipboard:

This message cannot be copied to the clipboard.
Additional information
Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made.
Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. (System.Windows.Forms)

Is there anyone who knows how to workaround this issue in SSMA?

Office Communicator 2007 Keyboard Shortcuts – Communicator – Office.com

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/11/29

I wasn’t aware that Office Communicator supported keyboard shortcuts for text formatting in the chat window.

Since I normally use RDP/MSTSC connections to a work machine (the laptop often moves around which means that network connections aren’t
“persistent”), which means that every once in a while a key like Shift, Alt, Ctrl, or Windows hangs.

That’s how I found out why sometimes the font in the chat window changed a bit: most often the font became strike through, which corresponds to Ctrl-T.

Three things that Microsoft should improve here:
