OpenSUSE 12.2: Install package lesspipe and using it from bash
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/07
lesspipe is a great tool:
lesspipe.sh is an input filter for the pager less as described in less‘s man page. The script allows you to view files with binary content, compressed files, archives and files contained in archives.
… however getting it to run on OpenSUSE was a bit of a journey as it is not part of the standard OpenSUSE 12.x repository. You can only get ‘unstable’ lesspipe packages, of which the Show home:adra / lesspipe – openSUSE Build Service seems to be maintained most frequently.
This is how to install it from there: Read the rest of this entry »

At #SXSW 2014 this week, Embarcadero Launches Appmethod, A New Multi-Device Development Platform For Native Apps (via: @TechCrunch)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/06
The @appmethod secret.
Wow. Out of the blue, I just read Embarcadero Launches AppMethod, A New Multi-Device Development Platform For Native Apps | TechCrunch. And I’m impressed.
In short:
At SXSW 2014 (which is running now, its agenda has a schedule from March 7th till March 16th), Embarcadero announces appmethod, to be released in beta on March 18th, 2014 for building native cross platform applications. Many have found out you can apply for the beta at www.appmethod.com.
More and more people are bumping into the appmethod link, for instance on FaceBook, on Google Plus, at Delphi Bistro and #Appmethod starting with the @appmethod secret by Joy Ruff.
Below are a few my observations from following all of the above links. Read them, especially the TechCrunch. I expect interesting posts from others to follow really soon now (:.
I’m only a few hours ahead of you readers, but I’m having a positive vibe just for these reasons: Read the rest of this entry »

When GExperts for Delphi 2007 does not install itself in Delphi on Windows Vista/7/8
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/06
Like When DelphiSpeedup cannot register itself in Delphi on Windows Vista/7/8, GExperts also had problems installing on Windows Vista and up when Delphi runs in a non-elevated account.
It said it installed fine, but it didn’t get included when Delphi was started. The reason was that it got installed in the wrong root key.
What happened is that GExperts installed itself into the HKLM root:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Borland\BDS\5.0\Experts]
GExperts=C:\Program Files (x86)\GExperts for Delphi 2007\GExpertsDelphi2007.dll
But it should have installed itself in the HKCU root: Read the rest of this entry »

Windows “FIND” console app: how to *not* have the dashed line with the filename in the output
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/06
When using the Windows FIND console application, it will insert a dashed line
C:\Users\Developer>echo Foo > %temp%\foo.txt
C:\Users\Developer>find "Foo" %temp%\foo.txt
---------- C:\USERS\DEVELOPER\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\FOO.TXT
Foo
This is really annoying when using FIND to parse files, and redirect the output fur further processing.
But there is a way around it, as find will not emit the dashed line when it the input is not a file, but stdin: Read the rest of this entry »

Not only only important in Windows PowerShell: “Whitespace, Please” (via: TechNet Magazine)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/06
In this series of PowerShell postings, the below quote by Don Jones from Concentrated Technology is a must:
Proper formatting, including a little whitespace here and there, can make your Windows PowerShell commands a heck of a lot easier to understand.
But please don’t limit this to PowerShell code.
I see too many code at clients, even at conferences and magazine articles that are badly formatted.
Even more important: when you ask or provide for help on a forum or community site: please properly format your code examples. That makes it much easier for your audience (often yourself) to grasp the meaning.
For PowerShell: note that most syntactic elements provide for a very natural line continuation (so you can write really readable code), except for CmdLets, so often you will see { at the end of a line to make the most readable code.

PowerShell – Special Characters And Tokens (via: Welcome to Neolisk’s Tech Blog)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/27
This and next week, a few PowerShell posts appear on my blog.
Victor Zakharov, also known as Neolisk collected all the Special Characters and Tokens used in PowerShell on one page (they are scattered around the PowerShell documentation if documented at all).
The page is so immensely useful when learning PowerShell that I’m really glad I found it.
It is even better than Less Than Dot – Blog – A Cheat Sheet for All the *{_(%#$] PowerShell Punctuation.
