I’m glad that G+ supports keyboard shortcuts out of the box:
Google+ supports the following keyboard shortcuts. To see the full list from any screen in Google+, press SHIFT+?
The list is big, but is close to for instance the GMail shortcut list.

Thanks to the guys at v-front.de/2013/09/how-to-update-your-standalone-host-to.html
Do not upgrade the virtual hardware of your VMs!
If you try to upgrade the virtual hardware of your VMs to the new revision 10 after you have updated the host to ESXi 5.5 then the following warning will be displayed by the vSphere Client:
“If you upgrade the virtual hardware to this level, use the vSphere Web Client for managing these VMs.”

Interesting: John Ryding | Blog: How to Reconnect Web Sockets in a Realtime Web App without Flooding the Server.
I’ve used similar algorithms in various applications, and never knew it is called “Exponential backoff“.
Now I know.
And I know I should to some more research in WebSocket. Sounds really interesting.

Interesting: HotspotShield VPN to surf from a USA IP address.
There is a free version with ads, and a payed version without ads.
Probably more services like this exist, but this has been working for me.
Yup there are:

Yet another example of somehow who got bitten hard by using the with statement (I decided to give with its own category on my blog).
This time it got shared by Paul Foster on G+ and comes down to this:
Even in unsuspiciously looking code, the wit statement can bite you, especially if you need to do refactoring and (because of that) introduce two names in the same scope.
Or in Paul‘s words:
Whilst upgrading the code to remove the Containers unit (its not supported on NextGen platforms, so I have to make things work with Generics.Collections instead, (bye bye D7 support for this code) and refactor a couple stupidities in my original design (they always creep in, don’t they) I ended up with two class members of the same name. The with block then looked OK but I was in fact not access the member I thought I was.
