9:30am, Sunday 16th September 2007 - Windows task bar
in pub

I’m sat at a Windows box. Whenever a window is maximised, it covers the entire screen, including the taskbar. This is surprisingly disorientating when I Alt+Tab.

Edit: Fixed! Right-click on taskbar → Properties → Keep the taskbar on top of other windows.

8:28pm, Saturday 7th July 2007 - Fix delete keys in screen
in pub

Add this to ~/.screenrc:

termcapinfo xterm* kb=\177:kD=\033[3~
2:52pm, Friday 9th June 2006 - Changing the washing on a tap
in pub

A better how-to on repairing a leaky tap.

11:40am, Friday 3rd March 2006 - 9 on a button in the margin — bookmarks in JBuilder
in pub

Today in JBuilder I discover that Ctrl+Shift+9 puts a 9 on a button in the margin. Repeating removes it again.

I have no idea what this means.

4:54pm, Wednesday 9th March 2005 - JBuilder — suddenly claims (module in) cvs repository is not there
in pub

Entries have gone missing from <projectname>.jpx.local.

Solution:

  1. Pull the project out of cvs into a new directory.
  2. Copy the generated .jpx.local file from the new directory over the existing file in the old.
  3. Delete the new directory.
11:05am, Wednesday 9th March 2005 - JBuilder — grey content area, won't exit
in pub

Symptoms:

  • Apart from menus and toolbars, nothing appears; all is grey.
  • File | Close and the window close button do nothing. Thankfully rebooting works.

Solution:

  • View | Workspaces | default.

Had this problem since Friday afternoon. Now to get it to use CVS again.

This must be Tuesday. I never could get the hang of Tuesdays.
