Ever so often I download a piece of software or source code packaged in a .tar.gz, .tgz or .zip file and unwittingly unpackage it inside a directory that already has a lot of other stuff in it. What I expect if I untar a file called CoolSourceCode.tgz, is that it will contain a directory CoolSourceCode with everything else inside it, for instance:. I am mercilessly punished...

Dr. Lex' Blog: Approximating iTunes DJ in iTunes 11

De Blog bij de Dr. Lex Site. The Blog accompanying the Dr. Lex Site. Vrijdag 4 januari 2013. Approximating iTunes DJ in iTunes 11. ITunes 11 has generated both praise and revolt in the online community because it is a mix of both improvements and regressions. One of the most annoying things for me and many others is the omission of the iTunes DJ. It is possible however to create a smart playlist that more or less behaves like the good old iTunes DJ. The “Live updating”. Next, make sure the playlist is so...

http://blobblubblobblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/itunes-12-hacking-playlist-font-sizes.html
De Blog bij de Dr. Lex Site. The Blog accompanying the Dr. Lex Site. Zaterdag 1 november 2014. ITunes 12: hacking the playlist font sizes. In iTunes 11, there were only two options for the font size in list views. The ‘small’ size corresponded to a font size of 12, the ‘large’ size was 15. It was possible to change these font sizes by editing the TextStyles.plist file (for your specific language) inside the iTunes app bundle. The two relevant keys were 9002 and 9003. Entries look like this:. Sjabloon Awe...

Dr. Lex' Blog: Movie genres in Plex media center: huh?

De Blog bij de Dr. Lex Site. The Blog accompanying the Dr. Lex Site. Dinsdag 18 juni 2013. Movie genres in Plex media center: huh? This post is not so much about a quirk in a particular program. Read through to the end and you'll see that it exposes a problem with crowd-sourced internet databases in general. A few updates ago, Plex switched to a a new database for movie genres. According to what I can find from a cursory scan, it is Freebase. And don't get me started about. 8221; (Which is wrong by the w...

De Blog bij de Dr. Lex Site. The Blog accompanying the Dr. Lex Site. Zaterdag 20 augustus 2011. Een gat boren in vitrokeramische plaat / Drilling a hole in glass ceramic.

Uit wat ik heb gelezen moet het volkomen onmogelijk zijn om een gat te maken in getemperd glas, tenzij je heel veel geluk hebt. Het schijnt zelfs o...
