I vividly remember the old design guidelines. They were golden.
Now basic things like feedback and discoverability are missing.

Google Podcasts might not be what you’re after:
Podcast producers that are not too happy, saying that Google Play is going to downsample and re-encode podcasts down to a minimal 64k of audio quality. That is not good news. – Joe C. Hecht – Google+
Source: I sure am hearing a lot about Google embracing Podcasts, and how it is going to…
So just like on YouTube, Google seems to play the audio normalisation game again.

OS/X – How to print screen in Remote Desktop Client (RDS) on Mac OS X? – Super User
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/16
The only reliable way to create a remote print-screen is by using the Windows On-Screen Keyboard. It even works with Alt-Prt+Sc to make screenshots of individual Windows.
Just run OSK to start the On-Screen Keyboard.

Inno Setup: Program Folder not showing up In Start > All Programs. I’ve been…
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/15
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
del %LOCALAPPDATA%\IconCache.db /a
start explorer
Source: Inno Setup: Program Folder not showing up In Start > All Programs. I’ve been… (A Google+ post not archived in the WayBack machine)
It will kill explorer.exe, delete the IconCache.db, then starts explorer which will rebuild IconCache.db.

VidCast: Chromecast for the rest of the web
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/13
I know, friday 13, bla, bla, but this works great! VidCast: Chromecast for the rest of the web.
It works with: Vimeo, TED, and tons of other sites.
The first I tried is was a great half hour Devopsdays Amsterdam 2015 session “Leslie Hawthorn – Fear of Failing Fast: How to Avoid Sabotaging Your Success”
The easiest way is to drag the VidCast bookmarklet button to your bookmarks bar once, then for videos you want to watch:

Funny: about 5 years ago, the virtualization products became so good that you cannot reliably detect if you are running under virtualization or not: Programming Comments – How not to detect virtualization.

The Power of Open Source… Microsoft .NET and OpenShift: .Net on Linux
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/11
Really exiting times ahead: Microsoft .Net on Linux.
It’s not fully ready yet, but to get an idea to learn more about running OpenShift Enterprise 3 and a .NET application based on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux container, here are a few links to get started:
- The Power of Open Source… Microsoft .NET and OpenShift
- Microsoft .NET Apps on OpenShift – Wait, what? – OpenShift Blog
- UhuruSoftware/openshift.net
- UhuruSoftware/windows-isolation
I wish that the demo repository at https://github.com/munchee13/snoopalicious.git and the rhosepaas.com domain were accessible (:
There are other alternatives too, but OpenShift (RedHat) and Microsoft working together is really exiting news to me.
If you’re on other distros, here are some more links:
- Running .NET on Linux and Mac OS X
- Installing ASP.NET 5 On Linux — ASP.NET 0.0.1 documentation
- Getting started with .NET on Linux – Jayway
- Getting started with .NET Core (on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows)
- dotnet/core – core – Home repository for .NET Core
And of course there has been Mono for a while, which is a different implementation of .NET:
Hopefully this will have search results soon: dnvm opensuse tumbleweed.
