Need to research when build.force files are generated
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/21
It’s not reproducible yet, so I need to find out why under some rare circumstances, devenv.exe (the Visual Studio IDE) generated build.force files. Sometimes the build then fails, most of the times it succeeds.
Hopefully this has to to with non-project references.
Research links:
- .force file extension :: all about the .force file type.
- visual studio – VS 2012 rebuilds project although nothing has changed – Stack Overflow.

How to turn off YouTube’s new autoplay feature – CNET
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/19
A while ago, YouTube started to automatically play the Next video after your current one was finished. I didn’t notice the Autoplay setting to be persistent after browser sessions as between tabs it isn’t synchronised and I hardly restart my browser (as I usually have like a hundred research tabs open).
So I adapted the steps from: How to turn off YouTube’s new autoplay feature – CNET
To disable the feature, click the blue Autoplay slider switch that sits at the top of the right-hand column of Up Next videos. It’s that easy, and when I turned it off, YouTube remembered I did so after both browser and system restarts.
Into:
- Close all but one YouTube window
- Change the setting
- From
- To
- From
- Close your browser
- Open your browser

On Teaching Programming | OpenSTEM Pty Ltd
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/18
Very interesting read:
Being involved with teaching young students to code, I have come to the tentative conclusion that many coding kids have not actually been taught programming. This has been going on for a while, so some of this cohort are now themselves teaching others. I have noticed that many people doing programming actually lack many of…

How to Increase Font Size in the xcode editor? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/17
Brilliant: In only 14 keystrokes you are able to get the Font inspector window!
What happened to Command-Plus and Command-Minus to zoom in/out which about every Mac OS X app support?

NOC Zone and NOC Apps – A Service and Free Mobile App for Website Monitoring
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/16
Interesting: this works through an on-line service that monitors up to 2 servers for free (including protocols like HTTP, SMTP and PING).
You can get reports at either through:
- their on-line web page: https://noczone.com
- a Chrome extension: NOC Zone Server Monitoring – Chrome Web Store.
- a mobile app (iOS or Android): NOC Apps – A Free Mobile App for Website Monitoring.
I’m using this to monitor my boxes at home.
A demo video is below.

osx – Toggle AppleShowAllFiles with a simple bash script? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/15
LOL:
The if syntax of your script was a bit…well, iffy.
Indeed it is:
#!/bin/bash #toggle AppleShowAllFiles current_value=$(defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles) if [ $current_value = "TRUE" ] then defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE else defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE fi killall Finder
Even the alternative if statement is:
if [[ $(defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles) == TRUE ]]
