Command Line

Since I switched to the dark side of the force(here:W32) as a result of my job-switch three years ago, more and more I forgot the power of the commandline. Now it’s time to refresh my command-line skills.

Today I found I this interesting link: Introduction to Command Line Linux.

Scripting iTunes

Since I am an iPod owner, I am using iTunes more intense than before. And I have plenty tasks, that I want to automate, like editing a bunch of song attributes to cover my needs.
For a start, I found this very helpful site: Doug’s AppleScripts for iTunes.
And scripting iTunes with AppleScript really is great, because it’s powerful and simple. And once again I am extremely happy with my Mac.

Apple Keyboard

I also own a new Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (international edition with English layout).
It’s the best keyboard I ever had, it wasn’t cheap but it is worth each cent.

And the English layout is really great for programming. (There is only the problem with the German umlauts, but this is Gewoehnungssache …)

Exams

I just got the confirmation that I passed two exams of my Computer Science study.
The math exam was quite close, the other one was much better (‚Formale Grundlagen der Infomatik‘). Now I’m very confident, because I didn’t have that much time to learn and there were huge changes in my life at the time I planned to learn.
There is still one exam left in a month for this term, but this should be the easiest for me, it covers the basics of Programming.

sms.ac – Hands off!

I recently got an invitation to sms.ac.

Right now I found this: SMS.ac is a scam

Fortunately I didn’t fill out anything on their page and didn’t sign up.

So, hands off from such stuff, it’s never good to give away your mobile number to anyone you do not trust.
