Posted by jpluimers on 2016/01/01
[WayBack] While cleaning up my “attic”, I came across some old QuickReport 1.0 documents and BDE installation tips so I scanned them.
I think the first document is by this Lars Søndergaard.
The last is by Dave Robinson, then working at Amber Computer Systems Inc, but I could not find on-line activity of him If you know him, please let me know his on-line contact info.

Glad I found out about the string to add to a .RDP file to make it connect to the administrative console whenever your remote supports that:
connect to console:i:1

Any ideas for a good text to direct anonymous and blocked numbers too?

Any ideas for a good text to direct anonymous and blocked numbers too?
I’m thinking along these lines:
You are calling with a blocked, or anonymous number. We get too many of those, mostly from marketing or sales persons. Call back with your real number and you might get to talk to a real person.

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/30
This is what I needed:
:: http://www.windows-commandline.com/disable-screensaver-registry-settings/
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaveActive /t REG_SZ /d 0 /f
And this one to verify the current settings:

:: possible names
:: ScreenSaveActive
:: ScreenSaveTimeOut
:: ScreenSaverIsSecure
reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" | findstr /I /C:"ScreenSave"

Command Line Kung Fu: Episode #43: Users & Groups
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/29
I needed to compare the local group memberships on a few systems.
I knew there is the distinction between
- net group (which despite documentation requires /domain as it does not support local groups: you get a nice NET HELPMSG 3515 error) and
- net localgroup (which can either run locally or with /domain).
So I came up with this batch file thanks to Command Line Kung Fu:
:: http://blog.commandlinekungfu.com/2009/06/episode-43-users-groups.html
for /F "skip=4 delims=*" %%g in ('net localgroup ^| find /v "The command completed successfully"') do @net localgroup "%%g"
It can be done in PowerShell too, but is more work.
Based on that and Beyond Compare I created some diff scripts.

Mac OS X: integrating Beyond Compare 4 into SourceTree 2.x
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/28
Unlike SourceTree for Windows, SourceTree for Mac still doesn’t automagically detect Beyond Compare even though that has been available for Mac OS X since : [SRCTREE-2092] Add built-in support for Beyond Compare version 4 – Atlassian JIRA.
Even modifying my ~/.gitconfig didn’t work, but manual configuration did. Here are the steps:
- Start the UI version of Beyond Compare
- Select the Beyond Compare menu, install the command-line tools

Steps for adjusting a whiteboard photo in Gimp
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/28
A long time ago, I wrote about Steps for adjusting a whiteboard photo in Paint.NET.
GIMP does an even better job with these steps:
Once: install the clean-whiteboard-photo script
- Visit https://github.com/kyleburton/sandbox/blob/master/gimp/clean-whiteboard-photo.scm
- Click “raw”
- Hit “Ctrl-S” to save the file as file-type “*.txt” and file-name “%temp%\clean-whiteboard-photo_scm.txt”
- Go to the folder “%temp%”
- In there,
- select the firle “clean-whiteboard-photo_scm.txt”,
- change it into “clean-whiteboard-photo.scm”,
- copy the file
- Go to the folder “C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts”
- Paste the file (you need to confirm Administrator rights through UAC)
The above steps will add this menu option to GIMP: menu “Filters” -> “Whiteboard” -> “Clean whiteboard photo”
For every picture: make it less ugly
- Start GIMP 2
- Open the picture
- With the “Rectangle Select” Tool (R), select the area of the whiteboard that you want to enhance
- If the area is not completely rectangular, make the selection large enough to cover everything needed in the final picture
- Only when the selection needs adjustment to make it rectangular:
- Choose the “Perspective” Tool (Shift-P)
- Drag the incorrect corners until the selection is rectangular
- In the “Perspective” tool window, click “Transform” to confirm
- The selection now is not rectangular any more, so deselect everything:
- In the menu, choose “Select” -> “None” (Shift-Ctrl-A)
- With the “Rectangle Select” Tool (R), select the area of the whiteboard that you want to enhance
- In the menu, choose “Image” -> “Fit canvas to selection”
- In the menu, choose “Filters” -> “Whiteboard” -> “Clean whiteboard photo”
- Click next to the selection to confirm the cleanup
- In the menu, choose “File” -> “Export”
