Let’s face it. Caps Lock is useless. Unless you’re in the habit of writing all-caps e-mails, you’ll probably only use Caps Lock when hitting it by accident.

Starting from OS X 10.7 (Lion), running the Disk Utility app. to fix disk permissions, doesn’t include fixing the file permissions on a user level, only the System specific files (Like the global Library etc.).

This may cause issues, when installing 3rd-party apps. to the user home directory, as your local Library is just as prone to incorrect permission settings as the global one.

E-mail sucks (the life out of everyone).

About a year ago (in December 2011), Atos announced they were going to kill off any internal e-mail. Back then, people were pretty fast to think Atos were crazy, and that this was the worst possible idea ever. However, I’m starting to believe that they may be on to something, and here’s why.

This is actually a small rewrite of a blog post I did a few years ago, but as I didn’t move this post to my new setup before now, and people still ask me questions about the subject, I wanted to refurbish, and republish the post.

I’ve been on the GTD (Getting Things Done) wagon for a couple of years, and as part of it, a lot of people ask the obvious question: What is it, and what’s the point ?

Recently, we acquired a piece of software, which will be used to improve performance of our internal business processes. However, the development licenses covers only 2 CPU’s (or, in this case, a CPU with 2 cores), causing an issue with running the software on my Mac, as it’s a 4-core i7.

So, I needed a way to down-throttle my Mac, when running this software.

Before today, I was using A2 Hosting for my website, and a few projects. However, after Claus Witt spread the word about DigitalOcean, a VPS startup that has quite a bit of buzz at the moment, I decided to try it out. And I’m not going back (Sorry about that A2).
