Cool, I just found out that Wikipedia has a Screenshot topic, listing how to take screenshots (and often shots of the current window) on many platforms, where (*) means I verified them:

While researching the manifest problem I will post about next week, I made a short list of free Windows Resource Editors:
All other resource editors I found were not free, and someof them not maintained for an even longer period than the free ones.

Back when I wrote this mid 2013, this was the best Windows RDP overview article I could find: Best RDP client for Mac OSX Lion.
And it all got invalidated when finally (after years of silence), Microsoft released AppStore versions of the RDP client for both Mac OS X and iOS:
Microsoft Launches ‘Remote Desktop’ Apps for Mac and iOS – Mac Rumors.
So I tried the Mac App Store – Microsoft Remote Desktop that runs on OS X 10.6.0 or later for more than a year, and I like it a lot.
This is what the AppStore version improved over the classic Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection:
Just so you know about alternatives,

I never realized you could overwrite the CD pseudo environment variable. If you do, the automatic value of the pseudo variable will not be udpated any more:
You have at some point set the CD variable explicitly. If you do this it will no longer automatically reflect the current working directory. To undo this, set it to empty:
set CD=
Thanks Jonathan and … for explaining this in both your answers.
Thanks to another answer by Endoro I now also know of the %=C:% pseudo variable (you have one per drive letter) that indicate the current directory per drive letter.

I just found this [Wayback] great answer (which by now regrettably is deleted; the previous Wayback link still has it) by [Wayback] Јοеу a.k.a. Johannes Rössel on [Wayback] What encoding/code page is cmd.exe using.
The whole answer is worth reading, so I won’t quote only some bits.
Edit 20210609: the answer now has been replaced by an even more detailed answer [Wayback] by [Wayback] andrewdotn. Also recommended reading. The summary of the new answer is this:
The moral of the story?
typecan print UTF-16LE files with a BOM regardless of your current codepage- Win32 programs can be programmed to output Unicode to the console, using
WriteConsoleW.- Other programs which set the codepage and adjust their output encoding accordingly can print Unicode on the console regardless of what the codepage was when the program started
- For everything else you will have to mess around with
chcp, and will probably still get weird output.

Had to download a bunch of stuff over the command-line from an IIS server that was using authentication. Not basic authentication, but NTLM authentication.
wget kept failing, even wget 1.10 that usually does NTLM quite OK (but up to 1.10.2 has a security vulnerability so you should not use wget 1.10 any more).
So I installed a Windows x86 cURL binary, and downloaded+copied the root certificates, then did some reading on the command-line switches.
Without any, cURL does http basic authentication. But a Windows server usually expects NTLM authentication (hardly documented, but it uses the Negotiate protocol).
When not using NTLM, both would show (wget -d, or curl -v) this in the output, indicating you should use NTLM authentication: Read the rest of this entry »

Though I’ve written only a few blog posts about 7zip – my compressor of choice ever since I discovered 7zip some 10 years ago around version 3.13 (their history goes much further back: 1999) – here is a fresh one:
7zip is a fast, free, multi-platform and has great compression. No wonder Toms Hardware gave them an award last year: And The Undisputed Winner Is… 7-Zip.
For Windows, I take the downloads from 7-Zip: there are both x64 and x86 versions (x64 supports more memory so can handle bigger archives).
For Mac, I’ve been using Keka – the free Mac OS X file archiver. Both compressing and decompressing involve dragging the uncompressed or compressed files to the Keka dock icon.
That is slightly more involved than the context menu in Windows, but it works great.
For Windows command line usage, I use either 7za.exe or 7z.exe (uses DLLs, supports more compression)
For Mac command line usage, I use p7zip.

Any web developer should know how to capture and trace HTTP traffic.
I’ve written about Fiddler before, but that’s a Windows specific tool.
Time to have a small list of posts and links to tools that work on various platforms.
I’ve left out Java based tools as there have been too many security issues with Java over the last couple of years.
