Merge them all together
To feel as fit as a fiddle on my Mac’s screen I need to have it clean with only that windows in front I am currently working in. For how to hide unwanted applications without termination I blogged the article The secrets of hide and seek. The Eventbox is my best friend when getting updated [...]
C=ool fashion and new design
Commodore was great in computing. The C64 and Amiga were the greatest machines ever had been produced. Today are still some guys at the demoscene active and coding really amazing and stunning stuff we absolutely could image that it would ever be possible. With modern tools and utilities are very cute home made things possible. [...]
Get your password back on a Mac
My iMac is my holy shrine and no one except for me is allowed to touch or even to use it. That makes it easy to store all passwords in Safari. Currently, many sites are integrating multiple Sign-In technologies with accounts from other sites like OpenId, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Yahoo and more. That can be [...]
Force FileZilla not to annoy file changes
Cyberduck normally is the FTP client of my choice, but I had to work on a server where uploading was not possible and directory listing extremely slow. Trying to change the amount of concurrent connections and active or passive modes did not help me out. To verify it does not depend on my firewall configuration [...]

Blackberry HS-655+ Bluetooth headset user guide

There are lot of testing reports in the web, but no useful reference manual or user guide. The delivered one is one of the worst [...]
Just only Skype
Instant messaging (sometimes just called IM) can be very very useful to swap information in a quick and simple way. I am sure, you know instant messaging already in form of a chat using MSN, ICQ, YIM, AIM, GoogleTalk and many many more protocols and clients. Yes, I do have an account on almost every [...]
Twitter comment hunting
Today I have received a mail from Yasni.de and as usual I verified all the links which are found containing my name. Looking through the results I found a site about diets and high blood pressure. Allegedly I should have posted a comment there, but I did not know the site, so I had a [...]
Jumpcut to manage your clipboard
When writing articles or doing any text processing it often helps to use copy and paste. Not to steal texts, but copying long URLs, complicated names or just to refer to something. And when you have copied something once to the clipboard it would be nice to get it back later on or to use [...]
CronniX to schedule your tasks
Do you know cronjobs? That is a great thing to schedule and let run tasks only once or repeatedly. This comes with every linux. And as you know OS X is based on a BSD. So, you have that functionality on your Mac, too. The most nerving thing is the way how to edit the [...]
