For both FX and DX lenses: printable Nikon lens hood templates – via Nikon Rumors

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/03/23

Since I posted In case I ever misplace/break one: Free printable cardboard lens hoods, I found that Nikon Rumours had covered that too.

Now the added even more coverage in Printable Nikon lens hood templates | Nikon Rumors.

Which is kind of neat as now there are two kinds of printable lens hoods: DX (for my D300) and FX (for my D700).

PS: Missed Schedule fired again on this post as it was originally scheduled for 6:00 some European time zone (not sure which, as WordPress.com is unclear about that though).

Home Labs made easier with VSAN 6.0 + USB Disks | virtuallyGhetto

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/03/20

Interesting; steps can be found in Home Labs made easier with VSAN 6.0 + USB Disks | virtuallyGhetto:

Disclaimer: This is not officially supported by VMware and should not be used in Production or evaluation of VSAN, especially when it comes to performance or expected behavior as this is now how the product works. Please use supported hardware found on the VMware VSAN HCL for official testing or evaluations.

For a VSAN home lab, using cheap consumer USB-based disks which you can purchase several TB’s for less than a hundred dollars or so and along with USB 3.0 connectivity is a pretty cost effective way to enhance hardware platforms like the Apple Mac Mini and Intel NUCs.

IlMerge is on NuGet.

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/03/19

IlMerge is a great way to merge multiple .NET assemblies into one, and I use it most often to combine assemblies with console applications so I end up with one executable..

However getting the latest version always was a hassle as the ilmerge download link was unclear about the version number.

Until I found out that IlMerge is on NuGet.

To get started with NuGet, either download the NuGet GUI or command-line version, then use either of these entry points to work with NuGet packages:

There is much more to the Package Manager Console and the Package Manager Dialog.

How to move your Google Code project to GitHub

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/03/18

Thanks David Millington for pointing me to How to move your Google Code project to GitHub.

A small quote from it:

By the end of this article, you will have:

  • Moved the repository, including commit history, from the Google Code project to a new GitHub project
  • Updated the Google Code project to redirect to the new project location
  • Updated the Google Code repository so users updating will find out they need to use the new project location
  • Set up some basic project settings in your new GitHub project.

WPF Tutorial | Dependency Properties

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/03/17

Thanks to the answers for .net – What is a dependency property? – Stack Overflow, I came across this really nice WPF Tutorial | Dependency Properties.

It has one of the best explanations on Dependency Properties I’ve ever seen, and it is available online for free (:

And yes, this post is also tagged Delphi, as DSharp provides http://delphisorcery.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Source/Core/DSharp.Core.DependencyProperty.pas.

So Dependency Properties are not just .NET any more (:

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/03/16

Hmm, I missed this earlier. So: watch your TLS stack (OpenSSL and others), then

Patch soon and be careful.

After that read A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering: Attack of the week: FREAK (or ‘factoring the NSA for fun and profit’).

Thanks Kristian Köhntopp for sharing.

For those doing dates in M/D/Y format: happy Pi Day

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/03/14

I’m more a Pi Approximation Day person.

But for the few that insist on M/D/Y date format: happy Pi Day.

Jan Wildeboer on G+:

“The American date format I invented”, master Yoda exclaimed, “Pi day they now have! But knowing its power they do not.”

Add an account to use Google Play on your device: can take a while to show up.

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/03/13

It might look simple to Add an account to use Google Play on your device – Google Play Help.

But it can take quite a while for your device to show up so you can add My Android Apps – Google Play to it: accounts – My new Android device not showing up in Google Play – Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange.
