Now that I’m back home, a small follow-up on the post Happy 30th birthday Mac! « The Wiert Corner with some interesting links.
I know most Mac users now run Mac OS X, but back then it was called a Macintosh, had System as OS, but you had the Finder and the Apple logo still had colours (:
So here are the links:

Every time I reboot my Nexus 4, the Google keyboard is selected as default. But SwitftKey is way more productive for me.
This is how to make SwiftKey the default keyboard again:
Selected SwiftKey then hit the Gear to go into SwiftKey setting. When I did this a pop up window came up asking witch keyboard to use a default. I selected SwiftKey and after several reboots it is still default.

Sorry, I didn’t note the build number for 4.2.34.
Anyone that can help complete this list?

Very interesting: Install AndroVM in VMware Player/Workstation – YouTube.
The successor is Genymotion “the faster Android emulator”, and seems to have an easier installation path: Run Android on Your Desktop With Genymotion Android Emulator.
One of the drawbacks of going native: the Delphi for Android compiler currently only generates ARM Android code, otherwise this would be a great way to test your apps.
But it works fine if you use Java, Oxygene for Java or MonoDroid: much faster than the emulator (which you cannot run in a VM at all).
There seems to be a way to install ARM translation, so I need to check that out: android – How to install google play service in the genymotion (ubuntu 13.04) .Currently it doesn’t have drag and drop suport – Stack Overflow.

Never noticed this file before until I got some trouble with several systems sharing parts of a roaming profile.
The content of my %USERPROFILE%\ntuser.ini file is this:
[General]
ExclusionList=AppData\Local;AppData\LocalLow;$Recycle.Bin;Tracing;PrivacIE
[ProfileLoadType]
LastUploadState=Complete
[[The ntuser.ini file is used to set up the user roaming profile components that are not copied to the server.]]
http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/windows/win2k/win2kusers.html
The ExclusionList is for excluding directories in roaming profiles.
The same info is also found here…
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
ExcludeProfileDirs
System tool may not correctly display the user profile size in Windows
