Postman offers free (small-project) API developer tools – Open Source Insider
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/19
Cool: [WayBack] Postman offers free (small-project) API developer tools – Open Source Insider.
I’ve used the [Archive.is] Postman – Chrome Web Store for HTTP/HTTPS API testing using various REST services. It’s awesome even though unlike the postmanlabs/postman-chrome-extension-legacy: Postman REST Client Chrome Extension (Legacy Version) it’s not open source any more as it now can run server side and has an API of itself [WayBack].
Get it at [WayBack] Postman | Supercharge your API workflow. Available for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and Chrome users.

The strange case of some applications not being able to copy/paste on the Mac OS X clipboard
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/19
I’ve not tracked down the cause yet, but these seem to be related:
- The Mac OS X build of Atom IO
- WinBox v 3.4 WineBottle version from Winbox for Mac in an embedded Wine environment – Joshaven.com
- pbcopy / pbpaste that allow command-line copy/pasting
- none of these being able to copy/paste any more and return error level 1 like terminal – pbcopy exits code 1, no error message – Ask Different but not even running tmux or screen which means this solution does not apply: ChrisJohnsen/tmux-MacOSX-pasteboard: Notes and workarounds for accessing the Mac OS X pasteboard in tmux sessions.
- I didn’t have Mouse Keys turned on
- Other applications (Chrome, FireFox, TextEdit, Finder, etc) still being able to copy/paste between each other
I’ve “fixed” 4. by doing this as recommended at osx – Copy and Cut sometimes don’t work – Ask Different:
launchctl list | grep com.apple.pboardIf the pboard daemon is running, then stop and start it. If it’s not running, start it:
launchctl stop com.apple.pboard launchctl start com.apple.pboard
Now 4. works again if I restart each application, 6. still works, but these applications still cannot copy/paste to 1. 2. and 3.
What does work is a full reboot, but that takes a while (especially Chrome re-loading lots of Windows: I need to get more organised here).
It might be that I need to restart each application in 6.
Grrr…..

Anyone knows if Raize subscription before the Raize acquisition is still valid?
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/18
It’s from a while ago, so I wonder if this is still true:
I just got my Embarcadero update to RC6 that includes #10Seattle support.

Mikrotik RouterOS scripting: for loops are a bit of getting used to
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/07/18
Earlier, I wrote “:for loops are a strange beast so I will elaborate on those in a separate post.” so now is the time to do that.
The :for loop documentation is very dense:
Command Syntax Description for :for <var> from=<int> to=<int> step=<int> do={ <commands> }execute commands over a given number of iterations
So a for loop has these elements:
- from=
- to=
- step=
- do=
Luckily, the old RouterOS 2.7 documentation on loops (which they’ve revamped after Router OS 2.7 removing many useful examples) has this:
:for – It has one unnamed argument, the name of the loop variable. from argument is the starting value for the loop counter, tovalue is the final value. This command counts loop variable up or down starting at from and ending with to, inclusive, and for each value it executes the do statement. It is possible to change the increment from the default 1 (or -1), by specifying the stepargument.
[admin@MikroTik] > :for i from=1 to=100 step=37 do={:put ($i . " - " . 1000/$i)} 1 - 1000 38 - 26 75 - 13 [admin@MikroTik] >
You might think that from= the start value, to= the finish value and the loop won’t execute when step= a positive value and from= larger than to=. Or that without a step= the loop will always iterate in ascending order.
Wrong! And wrong!
So it’s time for some…
