In case I get something similar to this again:

I updated system today (I have not given it a reboot yet) and I still see those logs.
Rebooting fixed this issue.
But I’m not sure about the cause.

I wish I had known this years ago. Thanks This is why I code!
This is why I Code Shared publicly: #Git A flowchart to help you with your git decisions http://justinhileman.info/article/git-pretty.
This is the blog post; the chard is below.
Git pretty
This chart is from the presentation Changing History, or How to Git Pretty. Check it out to learn how to use this IRL.
Here’s a printable PDF version, if you’re into that sort of thing.
If you like a more interactive way of decision making, this one is more elaborate: On undoing, fixing, or removing commits in git.
Note that on Windows, git does not like this:
git reset HEAD^
But does like this equivalent:
git reset HEAD~1

After reading Converting Hg repositories to Git directed me into reading Bitbucket: Converting Hg repositories to Git I hoped moving my Mercurial repository on BitBucket to a Git repository would be something like following the steps.
It wasn’t.
First of all, hg-git on a Windows system requires Python or TortoiseHg. Neither of these I wanted to install for a one-off conversion.
So I took a throw-away Linux VM, and did the steps below. But let me first explain why.
My motivation for moving away from BitBucket to GitHub, especially for projects containing markdown documentation.
When writing documentation in Markdown, being able to in-line reference pictures or have relative-references to other documents. This works perfectly in local Markdown tools (like MarkdownPad 2 or LightPaper).

Now that github stopped showing my README.rst as reStructuredText here is the htmlpreview link of the pandoc rendered reStructuredText:
It is about installing and configuring Tumbleweed which is a tad bit more frustrating than I hoped for.
In practice unixoids aren’t as heavenly as many geeks pretend them to be.
I got the htmlpreview solution via css – How to see an html page on github as a normal rendered html page to see preview in browser, without downloading? – Stack Overflow.
I might try the github pages in the future.
Sourcecode of htmlpreview is at htmlpreview/htmlpreview.github.com.

When using Windows VMs on my MacBook Retina, often they’d start using excessive CPU after I switched back to my OS X screen.
This is very distracting, for instance during presentations, as it also starts humming the fans at close to 100 Hz (for non techies: nearly 6000 rpm).
When switching back to the VM, and going to Task Manager soon enough, I observed a MsMpEng+high+cpu+usage.
Since I knew this was caused by Windows Defender, I first tried to “Excluded files and locations” MsMpEng.exe, but that did not help.
My second thought was that it was caused by idle behaviour. Disabling that was indeed the cause. Since doing that was kind of hard to circumvent, here is how:

Note you need to scroll quite a bit down in chrome://settings/content to enable this. In the man time, nothing beats The Great Suspender: a plugin that just suspends inactive tabs to they do not use any CPU or memory at all.
Chrome will pause plugin content (e.g. Flash animations) to improve battery life: http://bit.ly/1dQj2o9 – give it a try!
“This feature will be enabled by default on Chrome’s latest desktop Beta channel release starting today, and will be rolling out soon to everyone else on Chrome desktop. If you need to manually enable it, just head to Chrome’s content settings and select ‘Detect and run important plugin content’.”

Too bad. It was fun while it lasted: Yahoo Pipes Blog – Pipes End-of-life Announcement (thanks to Dennis for reporting this).
Which means that in a few months time, this pipe will be gone: Delphi Pipe – Delphi related RSS feed running on Yahoo Pipes – via twm’s blog « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff.
There is an alternative: http://www.beginend.net/
That redirects to https://www.beginend.net/ which works fine from home, but at the client for I the McAfee gateway currently cannot handshake to it:
Host: http://www.beginend.net
Reason: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure
Anyone who knows what that is?
