Song of the Day

Posted on September 19, 2011 at 3:19 pm in Music

Waking up this asleep unblog to say that I’m this week’s guest one the excellent musical blog “Song of the Day“. Pearls to be discovered very often (and not only this week, huh ).

Easily run Notepad++.exe instead of Notepad.exe on Windows 7

Posted on August 30, 2010 at 12:32 pm in Windows

Well, the following download allows you to easily do so.

I assembled this stuff based on the information provided by rubinx.
Should work with all versions of Windows since Windows 2000 (but only tested on Windows 7).

Installation

Download
Uncompress anywhere
Right-click on “_Register Notepad++ParamProxy.cmd” and choose “Run as administrator”

That’s about it.
Todo

Make it works even if Program Files is not on drive C
Make it work with 64-bits editions

Google is the new Microsoft

Posted on February 16, 2010 at 11:32 am in WWW

lingering unanswered bug reports (example: a bug that – what a coincidence ! – forces final users of a shared Google doc to open a Google account)
gaping security holes
no real care about privacy

…yes, Google has become Microsoft.

Okay, there are 2 differences:

they have a much, much better PR (like a good layer of makeup on an ugly face) : Google has still a better image (“don’t be evil” etc.)
they support valuable open-source projects

But yet, I stay away from Google services as much as I can.

Bookmarklet to easily use viewonblack.com on Flickr

Posted on October 28, 2009 at 11:21 pm in flickr, photography and WWW

Whoever may be the guy behind viewonblack.com (I couldn’t find any about page on this site nor any reference to him on Flickr), he did in my opinion the best “view on black” service for Flickr.

Yet, I was missing a bookmarklet to easily make a link to it. Now here it is :

vob.com

(just drag and drop the above link onto your bookmarks bar)

Edit : now here’s a bookmarklet that’s even more useful if you want to put a link on your own photo :

voblink

Enjoy

Thanks to Bookmarklet Builder for the amount of time it saved me.

Easily edit the HTML in your Outlook documents

Posted on December 4, 2008 at 11:24 am in eMail

Long long long ago, I found a macro on the web which has been very useful many times in my MS Outlook life. This macros lets you edit the guts (understand : the HTML code) in an HTML mail very easily.

Recently, I had to reinstall it, and couldn’t find any trace of it on the web. Fortunately, I could grab it from some ancient backup.

So, here it is, if you know who made it I’ll be glad to give credits to its author :

html_copy_paste.bas

And a little treat : here’s a basic tutorial on how to set it up :

Yes he did
