For all the Android developers out there, we’ve just published a technical post with four big tips for keeping Google Cloud Messaging working reliably in your apps.
Google Cloud Messaging is the technology used for Push notifications on Android and these four tips are the things we wish we’d known when we started working on Pushbullet!

Just append -O and -v to a command-line:
nmap -O -v ip-address
Note you need administrative privileges for this on Mac OS X, so there you run it like this:
sudo nmap -O -v ip-address
If you want to scan more than the default 1000 TCP ports, then use the -p- switch:
sudo nmap -O -v -p- ip-address
For more info about the finger printing algorithms used by nmap:

ForNeVeR now maintains ManagedSpy, see his answer on StackOverflow
BTW, I’ve cloned the original ManagedSpy source code and maintaining the code today (for example, ported it to .NET4).
See project on GitHub.

You don’t want to fully open your Mac to always install applications, so I’m glad that OSXDaily provided multiple workarounds:
Fix the “App can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer” Error in Mac OS X.
I needed it to install the nmap binary for OS X.

I got the message “peer sync token could not be validated” in the Windows copy.com app while accepting a share from another user.
The only Google search hit was Malwr – Malware Analysis by Cuckoo Sandbox.
Anyone has seen that message before?
After I’ve requested a new share half an hour later, and that one worked.

Summary: Always try to avoid sharing .DCU files between projects.
I see a lot of projects at clients that do not have their individual DCU directories set (therefore having the DCU files in the same directory as the PAS files causing shared units to share the DCU files), or share DCU files among different projects.
Both are a very bad idea, as the compiler does not always understand when the DCU file does not match the combination of PAS file and compiler options.
The result is the occasional use of the DCU file in stead of the PAS file causing wrong code to be used, or wrong debugger information to be included.

UX fail: None of the buttons on the window will resize the Control Panel.
Which means that the height is only one third of my screen height and makes it impossible to follow the Q&A stream.
This is with the latest GoToWebinar 6.0 Viewer, which is worse than the 5.4.

Do not forget to register for the RAD-in-Action Webinar Unit Testing in Delphi featuring Nick Hodges.
If you cannot watch it live: register anyway, as that will give you the URL for the replay download.
Very interesting stuff (I attended his sessions during the German EKON Conference) and a very entertaining speaker.
He is going to cover a lot in this seminar, and it is a great addition to the material in his Coding in Delphi book (Warren Postma wrote a nice review). You get the electronic edition of the book free when you have Delphi XE5, a hard-copy should be available soon. Read the rest of this entry »
