- Ctrl + Up: Go To the start of the previous paragraph
- Ctrl + Down: Go To the start of the next paragraph

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/19
I always forget where SuSE keeps its’ version number.
Hence my alias:
alias suse_version='cat /etc/SuSE-release'

.NET remnants of the past: Visual Studio .NET 2003 cannot start debugging as the assembly is missing
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/15
Boy, was this Visual Studio .NET 2003 stuff a long time ago.
Bumped into this one:
---------------------------
Microsoft Development Environment
---------------------------
Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target 'C:\develop\VS-2003\VS-2003-BASE\Source\AppTest\bin\Debug\AppTest.exe' is missing. Please build the project and retry.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Indeed, Visual Studio was right: it didn’t understand the Release build existed like Visual Studio 2005 and up does:
C:\develop\VS-2003\VS-2003-BASE\Source\AppTest\obj\Release\AppTest.exe

.NET/C#: Ctrl+R+R toggles wrap in Visual Studio.NET 2003 (via: Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/14
A while ago, I had to do some emergency fixing in Visual Studio .NET 2003 as – despite it is unsupported – a client was still using it.
By habit, I tried to rename a variable using the Ctrl+R+R shortcut for Refactor Rename. It didn’t work, and I was not surprised: this refactoring was introduced in Visual Studio 2005.
A while later, I started to notice that WordWrap was turned on in the code editor.
It took me a few minutes and a quick search to find out the two are related:
Visual studio 2003: ctrl+R+R is the shortcut to toggle WordWrap in the code editor.
Thanks Micah for answering that!

Using dsquery and dsget to get computer information from a domain
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/13
This article is a very brief example of how to use dsquery/dsget/find to get computer information from in the active direrctory of a domain.
The main aim for myself is to condense the information here, and have some links for background information.
If you have the right credentials then the below batch file works very well.
It uses these tools:
- dsquery to query the active directory on your domain controller for the existence and Distinguished Name (or ID/path) of various objects (in this example dsquery computer to check if a computer exists in a domain)
- dsget which can get you various detail information about an object (for instance dsget computer used in this example))
- find to raise the correct errorlevel (and indicate if we indeed found a CN – or Common Name – from a distinguished name)
The ds* tools do not raise any errorlevel, so that’s what find is used for.

MacBook Air/Retina equivalent of Ctrl+Shift+Eject is Ctrl+Shift+Fn+Power (via: Apple Support Communities)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/12
Recent Retina and MacBook Air’s do not have an optical drive, so they do without the Eject button on the keyboard.
The quick keyboard shortcut Control+Shift+Eject is not directly available, so what is the replacement?
A few people that answered this are jr00ck and Evil Rob:
For newer Retina and MacBook Air’s,
control+shift+fn+powerbutton replacescontrol+shift+eject.
In fact you can even press Fn+Power and get a small dialog that lets you choose what to do and offers a “Reopen windows when logging back in” checkbox:

Solution for HP LaserJet 4050 Can’t select Tray 1 in driver (via: Enterprise Business Community)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/05/09
This happened to a client as well: the stock Windows Vista PCL5 driver for an IP-connected HP LaserJet 4050TN would not allow you to select a paper tray. Not for default settings, nor for printing preferences.
The solution: download the HP PCL6 driver for Windows Vista from HP LaserJet 4050 Printer series – Download drivers and software .
Question:
LJ 4050n – Can’t select Tray 1 in driver
I have a 4050n connected to a small LAN, with 3 XP-Pro SP2 machines. These all print directly using standard TCP/IP ports. They were installed using the PCL5e driver downloaded from HP ( 4.27.4050.410 12 Dec 2003 ) This all basically works.
The only problem is I cannot select tray 1. The ‘paper source’ drop-down is greyed out at ‘auto select’. Printer always prints from tray 2 ( A4 Plain. )
Answer:
Try the PCL6 for a 4000TN, the printer still works if a 4050 has a 4000 driver loaded, had similar problems just used the 4000 driver.
