I usually use web based disposable e-mail adresses from Mailinator to avoid giving away my adress. I have noticed that some companies don’t let you register using a Mailinator adress. Today when I registered to download TimeSnapper (classic) I got this funny note.

TimeSnapper funny note when register with a Mailinator address

That made my day ^_^ Easy amused I guess.

I usually use Rsync for my incremental backups but since I moved to Vista it’s a bit of pain to get it working. I tried to install it using both Cygwin and DeltaCopy but couldn’t get it to copy international chars (i.e. åäö) via either Samba or SSH. So I looked into a tool called robocopy which is included in Vista (you can get it for XP as well). It worked fine and was easy to use.

To mirror a folder from one folder to another I put the following to a bat file (all on one row):

robocopy "D:\Pictures"
"\\MyOtherComputer\Backup\Pictures" /MIR

I did some different bat files for all folders I wanted to backup. At last I created one bat file that calls all the other. It looks like:

call BackupPictures.bat
call BackupCode.bat

Look into the robocopy help for more configuration options.

Oh! I just installed the brand new Wordpress 2.5 and it’s amazingly beautiful! The upgrade were really painless. Grab it yourself while it’s hot!

I have been using a Kinesis Advantage keyboard for half a year now and I think it’s a great keyboard. My hands feels more relaxed now than before and my RSI symptoms have decreased dramatically.

Since I mostly use a Swedish variant of Dvorak (Svorak-A1) I had some problems finding the built in shortcuts for selecting different settings on the layout (the shortcuts mentioned in the manual doesn’t work the same way on a Swedish layout as on a En/Us layout).

On a Swedish version of the Advantage, use the following shortcuts instead

Turn on and off audible tones (sounds for Caps Lock / Num Lock)

• Program + (?+\)

Turn on and off key clicks

• Program + (*’)

Instant Configuration

• (´`) + (w) for “Windows mode”
• (´`) + (p) for “non Windows mode” (use this for international Windows layout and in Linux)
• (´`) + (m) for “Macintosh mode”

Reset (there are several different resets, see the manual for more info) the keyboard:

• Program + Shift + F10

Kinesis On-Board Dvorak Layout (on a Swedish computer)

• Program + Shift + F5

If you are using a Swedish layout and switch to the on-board Dvorak layout your layout will look a bit different than the layout presented in the manual. The attached image shows how my layout works or download the SVG of the layout.

This new video features stunts performed by Mini RC planes and helicopters.
