Press Ctrl–Option–Command–8 in your colleagues keyboard and watch them getting their inverted colours back :)
It is like the 3-finger salute on Windows, but much much nicer, as the inversion is all done on the GPU hardware :)

Altijd al gezegd: overal is een site voor. En dus ook over TV series.
In dit geval dus Bierdopje.com. Samen met eztv.it heel erg handig als je inzicht wilt krijgen in welke series nu wanneer wel (of niet: als er bijvoorbeeld een sportuitzending is, of als ze ineens een film of special uitzenden) worden uitgezonden.
Er zijn zelfs mensen die de ondertitels intikken :)

Security by obscurity maakt het alleen maar lastiger, maar uiteindelijk gaat de nieuwe veiliger OV Chipkaart ook gehacked worden, zeker nu de achterliggende Infineon SLE 66 CL PE chip gehacked is.

If you use Mac and Windows machines, then – despite the Mac keyboards – it sometimes is handy to use Mac to remote login to a Windows machine.
For that, the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1 (especially the download <g>) comes in handy.

My MacBook Air has arrived, a few days before VMware Fusion 4 got out and a very early preview of Windows 8 got released.
Time to move my iOS dev env from my Mac Mini Server dev env over to this fully loaded 13.3 inch MacBook Air model (A1369 with 1.8GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7 / 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM / 256GB Flash Storage).
A few initial observations on the MacBook Air:
Oh well, will install it at the Embarcadero office later this week.
A few things on VMware Fusion 4:
Time to have a lot of fun :)

I had a pretty OK direct KLM flight from AMS to SFO.
Apart from some people behind me that seemed to have sufficient motoric coordination issues that they had to grab my chair each time they got up, or put their traytable up. Some – even Dutch! – seem to think that using force is the only way to get things done. So thank you people in seats 28H, J and K for ruining my sleep.
The advantage of being in seat 27H in a Boeing 747-400 is that you get food really fast, and have direct access to drinks from the galley :)
Frank Stepan – one of the DelphiLive organizers – picked me up at the airport, and got me to the conference hotel in Downtown San Jose.
Check in went smooth.
Connecting to the Internet too: it is a breeze, compared to the Swisscom experience at the NH Hotel in Köln last week.
Not as fast as the KOMED internet on saturday, but you have two choices:
FreeDowntownWifi, which is – err – free. And has reasonable speed.
iBAHN internet, which is – err – free for DelphiLive attendees ans speakers. And also has reasonable speed.
So I upgraded my iPad firmware, downloaded the new TomTom USA Map, and synced my gadgets to the cloud.
Time to do some final preparations on my tutorial and sessions, and then get something to eat.

Sometimes it is convenient to order something to be delivered in the USA, but from a non-USA credit-card. For instance when visting the USA or when sending a gift to a friend.
Many companies don’t allow that.
These companies are of no use when you live outside the USA, but want to have something delivered within the USA:
Those companies do work though:
This list will be updated over time…

In order to get non-roaming UMTS internet in Germany, I borrowed a Huawei USB device.
Though I had bad experiences with those kinds of devices 5 years ago under XP (where the Huawei software would add a new virtual COM port for each install, finally blocking at COM32, and also blocking the recognition of any new USB device) I hoped for a better experience this time.
Not so: The new software is called “Mobile Partner”, but I’d like them to strip the name “Partner” of their software.

Well, it looks like the acquisition of Skype by Microsoft is showing results: Skype 5.5 introduces an annoying “Skype Home” popup page.
Luckily Disable Skype 5.5 Home Screen auto pop-up explains how to get rid of this (it is open source).
Probably time to move on from Skype to something else…
