Interesting graph here: Evented Github Adventure – Sentiment Analysis of Github Commits.
It seems that Delphi programmers have a much better happy/sad word rate than other programmers.

Windows 8 Task Manager: how to show the CPU time column
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/06/07
As a follow-up on my question cpu usage – Windows 8 Task Manager: how to enable the “CPU Time” column in the Processes tab? – Super User:
You can show the *CPU time* column in the Windows 8 Task Manager, it just well hidden.
These steps and screenshots show how:
- Start the Task Manager, then click on More Details
- You end up in the Processes tab, now click on the Details tab
- In the Details tab, you see there is no CPU time column, only a CPU column
- Right click on the header of the Details tab, in the the pop-up menu choose Select columns
- In the dialog, put a check-mark in front of CPU time
- then press the OK button
- Now you have the CPU time column in the Details tab

Fonera FON2100A: Why is the MAC address online different than the one found on my router? (via: Fon Support)

From the FON tech support pages:
Why is the MAC address online different than the one found on my router?

If you look at your router information in your user area at fon.com, you will notice that the MAC ID is different than the one found at the bottom of the Fonera.
This is nothing to be worried about. Both MAC IDs are associated with the same Fonera. The MAC ID in the user area is associated with the FON_ signal.
The MAC ID found at the bottom of the Fonera refers to the LAN port.
Specifically for the FON2100A, there are 2 MAC addresses based on the sticker on the bottom of your FON:
- MAC address on the sticker = MAC for WAN,
for instance 00:18:84:XX:YY:f6 - MAC address for FON_FREE_INTERNET WiFi = sticker+1,
for instance 00:18:84:XX:YY:f7 - MAC address for MyPlace WiFi = sticker+2,
for instance 00:18:84:XX:YY:f8
001884 is the OUI for Fon Technology S.L.
You can find that for instance at MAC Address / WWN / Vendor Lookup – WintelGuy.com –.

Ogg encoder alternatie AoTuv seems to be great
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/06/07
A while ago (actually, almost two years ago <g>), Chinese Sausage wrote the below answer; it’s on my research list to see if I can stream out my audio library:
Re: Best format to encode into?
« Reply #2 on: 2011-08-14, 14:50:18 »
When space drive IS a concern, then ogg (aoTuV version) is the best format quality-wise (to these ears), as it is more true to the original music source, and it leaves less noticeable noise artifacts than the other encoders. However, aac is almost just as good and also more compatible with mobile phones, iPod’s and other external players, so it is probably a better choice if you want to share your music files with anybody who is not computer savvy. The main thing I do not like about aac (at least HE-AAC) is that it does not support gapless playback, which is particularly annoying if you listen to live albums, or other music which has continuous playback.
At 64kbps though, there is none better than ogg aoTuV. Here is a link to the latest version, in case you want it.
Just replace the ogg.dll and vorbis.dll files to the existing ones in your encoding program (I use MediaMonkey to encode files to ogg).Hope this helps!

Great video on Software Craftsmanship
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/06/06
About 3 years old (it was at Devoxx 2009), but still a great talk at Parleys.com: Craftsmanship and Policy Presentation by Robert C. Martin.
It was announced as:
Is management ready for the tsunami of professionalism that’s on the horizon?

ASUS Wireless Router RT-N66U – General Log: full of “protocol 0000 is buggy, dev eth0”

Note sure what caused it, but others have had it in the past as well.
Other symptoms:
- br0 network becoming slower and slower on download speed (but not on upload speed; in the end I had 0.5 megabit downstream and 5 megabit upstream)
- br0 ping times twice as high as normal (around 30 milliseconds on SpeedTest.net in stead of 15 milliseconds)
- WiFi (especially 2.4: eth1) becoming impossible to connect to from new connections
- packet drops
I thought they were caused because of me experimenting with a Fonera 2100A -> TomadoUSB experiment, especially since my FON access point was limited to 1 megabit.
But as soon as other users started to use the LAN, I got speed complaints about the slowness.
I’ve been running the ASUS RT-N66U in Firmware Version 3.0.0.4.260 with Operation Mode:Wireless router for quite a while now, but I also noticed that it had rebooted itself recently, as the was Uptime 0 days 20 hours when I started digging in the log.
The worst I got:
| Ping (milliseconds) | Down (megabit) | Up (megabit) | WiFi connection to |
|---|---|---|---|
| 31 | 0.4 | 0.9 | ASUS RT-N66U: 2.4 Ghz |
Time for a Reboot to see if it gets any better.
Later:
After a reboot the situation turned to normal:
| Ping (milliseconds) | Down (megabit) | Up (megabit) | WiFi connection to |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 | 90 | 10 | ASUS RT-N66U: 2.4 Ghz |
| 17 | 9 | 8 | Fonera: MyPlace |
| 17 | 3 | 1 | Fonera: FON_AP |
| 15 | 2 | 0.6 | Wireless-N 3G Router |
| 15 | 1.5 | 0.7 | RT N66U TomatoUSB 2.4 Ghz |

WinAmp AACPlus v2 Encoder: how to encode mono
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/06/05
AACPlus allows for a many combinations of encoding flags.
Finding out whick allows to encode a mono audio stream is a bit time consuming.
Luckily, I found this post:
If you want encode in mono make this:
enc_aacPlus test.wav test.aac --br (max 256000) --monoor for streaming:
enc_aacplus - - --br (max 256000) --silent --rawpcm 44100 2 16 --mono
Note that the various versions of enc_aacPlus.exe requires the enc_aacPlus.dll from WinAmp.

A few notes on Google Reader replacements that I’m testing
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/06/03
Almost 3 months after the Powering Down Google Reader announcement, most Google Reader users will have been looking for alternatives.
If you were whining, Stop whining about Google Reader, then take some action.
Before switching away from Google Reader, be sure to export the data through Google Takeout then download the export.
Read How to painlessly export your Google Reader feeds | News | Geek.com for more information.Note that the subscriptions.xml in the download is in fact an OPML file.
Until early may, I was waiting for Announcing Digg Reader to become a real reader, but gave up.
Right now I’m experimenting with a couple of replacements, so here are some notes: Read the rest of this entry »
