As you might notice, the site now shows a green check-mark next to every external link. This is a feature of a plugin from F-Secure. What it basically does is, it validates every external URL to ensure that the link is safe – as shown by the green check-mark next to it. It will also

One of the things that I really enjoy every once in a while, is using the prompt – DOS, Bash, Terminal – whichever name it carries. A while ago I came across an application (well actually a script) that is free, helps you create to-do lists, runs in a prompt (command-line goodness!) and saves ev...

Well – as above. During the above time-frame there will be planned maintenance on the website, so it might be slow, down or unreachable for a while. If all thing goes correctly it all should be back by 0700 CET on the 22nd of October.

For whatever reason (unknown to me at this point) ClearType is turned off on (at least my) HTC HD2 by default. To turn it on, and improve the quality of your text/reading – simply do to the following: Go to Settings, either via the Start-menu or HTC Sense. Tap on Menu in the lower-left corner,

In case anyone is wondering whether or not it works; it does. Note; I did upgrade Windows 2008 R2 with all of the patches available at that time (as of 8 June 2010) I was using a 180 day trial of both Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2008 R2. I installed Windows

For a while I was using infometrics to measure my caffeine-intake, my hours of sleep a given day, the amount of sugar I consumed – and even how happy I was on the happiness ratio-scale. Recently as you may know, I was and am in the process of moving into a new place – and

As you might have noticed I haven’t blogged anything lately. This mostly due to the fact that I am in the middle of moving into a new place – and my girlfriend moving in as well… So it’s a bit hectic with lots of things to do. And as an optional side-note, I am evaluating

For the last couple of days I have been running around with a program called BandSwitch installed, which disconnects idle mobile internet connections (according to your settings) Doing so can seriously prolong the battery-life on your HD2. So far, I havent’ seen or found any negative side-effe...

Most of you have already heard or met the concept of being minimalist in one way, shape or form. Apart from the added advantages that it takes less time to clean, helps you enjoy life more, reduces (visual) stress it also has one major advantage… Moving is so much easier when you enjoy a minim...

One of the things that I kept bumping into is the exceedingly slow response-times of my website. At times it took over 2 seconds to display a page, which quite frankly is unacceptable. The past few days I have been fiddling with the plugins of the site; installing and uninstalling them. One of the t...

I just finished implementing the SPF-record for the domain MajorAap.com. This means that from now on, it will be harder for spammers and other miscreants to ‘spoof’ the domain MajorAap.com. Keep in mind that this will not eliminate spam, it will just help a bit. A SPF-record is basically...

A great article by David Allen (the creator of the Getting Things Done methodology) which I highly recommend. E-mail overload has gotten a lot of press lately – the quantity, the distraction it creates, and our inability to do much about it. There was even a recent debate in a global newspaper b...

Ever since I bought my HD2 I have been concerned that I might scratch the screen (… I know myself well enough ;-)) Let alone the constant finger-smear that appears. I found (and use) an incredibly cheap – and good quality screen protector on Amazon. FX-CLEAR screen protector for HTC HD2:...

Well, today concludes the first day with the HTC HD2. Overall, I am a happy consumer. However, just like with everything I have some pet peeves with it: Installing Google Mobile made the device incredibly slow. Uninstalling and then rebooting the phone did not fix it. So I had to resort to the hard...

Well as some of you may notice – and some of you may not – I have changed the site a bit again. First thing you might notice is the different theme. I decided to drop the graphics-intensive theme (as fast as it was) and went with a more minimalistic theme, which should speed up
