Text Formatting Notation Help – Atlassian JIRA
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/02
Too bad Atlassian don’t specify that the {code} tag now supports more languages.
The trick is to specify an invalid one (like JSON, for which you can use javascript), then it emits an error telling you which languages are supported:
Available languages are: javascript, sql, xhtml, actionscript, none, html, xml, java
(Yes I know there is a JIRA MarkDown plugin, but not every customer installs plugins at will)

Interesting thread on IP geolocation and providers (via: Dan Sohad – Google+)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/02
IP geolocation is hard, and very dependent on where you are in the world. Providers giving different or confusing results are not exceptional.
See the struggle at Dan Sohad – Google+ – Hi! I working in a IP locate app. I’m using as “motors”: … where Dan Sohad tries a Delphi implementation.

Microsoft’s new open source direction for C# and .NET (and native compilation too): Anders Hejlsberg explains « Tim Anderson’s ITWriting
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/02
I totally agree with Tim Anderson here:
Open source, native code compilation, and an innovative compiler: it adds up to huge changes for C# and .NET, positive ones as far as I can tell.

dockStubz+: 30-pin Pass-Through Adapter with side Micro-USB port and USB/FireWire charge conversion circuitry
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/02
Interesting device I want to try out (probably from Amazon.com: CableJive dockStubz+).
It is a 30-pin Pass-Through adapter for iPod/iPhone/iPad (lets call them iDevice).
Reasons to get one (or more depending on the number of devices/chargers you use regularly):
- Use the connector to connect a compatible device, while still charging through the side micro-USB power port on the adapter.
- Charge modern iDevice with old chargers and old iDevice with modern chargers.
- Put your iDevice in a dock even when you have a bumper or case around it.
A few pictures showing their use are below.
Basically, there are two verions of charging circuitry: USB based and FireWire based.
I will make sure to get the + version, as it combines these two:
dockStubz+ model includes charge conversion circuitry for those older docks and accessories that don’t charge while they are connected. Safely connect your mobile device to any dock and get the charging you need.
