What it basically does is, it validates every external URL to ensure that the link is safe – as shown by the green check-mark next to it. It will also show the green check-mark next to an image that has a link, so no funky business going there ;)

That is all – and yes I am aware I haven’t posted again in months (woops)

You may have heard of it, you may not – it’s called todo.txt – and is available on http://todotxt.com/ or http://lifehacker.com/5155450/todotxt-cli-manages-your-tasks-from-the-command-line

Recently, an Android client got released which made it the perfect tool for me. Especially since it’s working with Dropbox on Android. What I wanted to achieve was it to run on my machine as well – and it using the same todo.txt from my Dropbox. Effectively my to-do list would then be in the cloud, and updated where-ever I work with it :)

To set this up on your machine as well, download the release from http://todotxt.com.

Now, here comes the tricky part – how do you open/run the .SH file which is what todo.txt really is? This is where it gets tricky – you need CygWin. A bash command-line on Windows (I know, it’s more – but for the ease of reference I opted for this explanation) Yet another free tool available on http://cygwin.com/

Click on Install Cygwin and then on Setup.exe. Please save the file on your computer and then run it. During the installation, simply do not change any options at all. Just keep hitting that Next button ;-) When it asks to select a Download site try to find one that looks as if it could be close by (so if you are in Germany, look for servers with the .DE domain, if you are in France – for .FR etc.)

Then it will ask you to select the packages to install – simply hit Next again. The installer will now download and install the necessary packages on your computer – so have a cup of tea/coffee.

Once it’s done, click on Finish to close the setup.

Start Cygwin (from either your desktop or from the Start-menu) and once it’s ready – type in “exit” so it closes.

Now, back to the ZIP-file you downloaded from http://todotxt.com – extract the 2 files. Place todo.cfg and todo.sh in the the following folder:

C:\Cygwin\Home\JohnDoe

Replace JohnDoe with the username you use to login into Windows.

Open todo.cfg with Notepad (in case Windows asks what program to use to edit/open it with, select Notepad) and replace the Todo_dir line so that it reads:

export TODO_DIR=”/cygdrive/c/users/JohnDoe/dropbox/todo

Replace /users/JohnDoe/Dropbox/todo with the location of your Dropbox folder with the Todo.txt – in the example shown this is on a Windows 7 machine, with a default installation of Dropbox. Be sure to append/change where needed.

Save the file and open Cygwin and type:

./todo.sh

From that point on – please refer to the http://todotxt.com documentation on how to run or operate it.

Enjoy!

The Springboard Deployment Learning Portal is an online assessment and learning tool, designed to help IT Pros identify their knowledge strengths and information gaps around Windows 7 deployment.  Based on interactive assessment responses, the participant is provided targeted learning to help them gain critical deployment know-how, keeping them at the top of their game.

I tried it myself and I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of the tests, and the tips it gives to learn more about it.

So if you are deploying Windows, Office within your environment – whether it is via MDOP, WDS, RIS or SCCM – take a quick dab at the tests and see where you can learn more.

To turn it on, and improve the quality of your text/reading – simply do to the following:

Go to Settings, either via the Start-menu or HTC Sense.
Tap on Menu in the lower-left corner, and select All Settings.
Tap on System.
Tap on Display.
Tap on the tab ClearType.
Tick the box and tap OK in the upper-rightcorner.

I personally recommend restarting the phone once you have turned it on.

Enjoy the improved text/font rendering!

“The *SHOCKING* TATTOO That Got This Girls PARENTS ARRESTED”

The link leads to hxxp://thecraziesttattoos.blogspot.com/ which shows an image, purposely mimicking an add. If you click the ‘Skip this add’ or anywhere on the image you are redirected to; hxxp://ly9.net/4/4jsVF3 (which resolves to: hxxp://allhqpics.com/the-craziest-tat-youll-ever-see.html)

On that page you will see yet another image asking you to acknowledge you are, or are over 18. Clicking anywhere on that image will actually instruct Facebook you like that page – and that will post it on your wall. Your friends then click on it – and so on.

More information after the link (geek-alert!)

The code on hxxp://allhqpics.com/the-craziest-tat-youll-ever-see.html is quite cleverly constructed. The actual source of that HTML file is:

Within that code you will see that it tries to load your Facebook profile, and since you clicked on the image, stating you are over 18 – you automatically ‘like’ the link, which will be shown on your feed.

Other friends see the link on your wall, click on it and it continues with them.

Be safe, and don’t click on links that you do not trust, even from friends!

Note;

The link has been reported to the relevant people.

You might have also noticed that this site is experiencing slower then usual response-times and an occasional outage (21 hours this running month) I am looking at resolving this, but until then please endure with me. I hope to have this all sorted shortly, and the last few glitches sorted out.

Note;

• I did upgrade Windows 2008 R2 with all of the patches available at that time (as of 8 June 2010)
• I was using a 180 day trial of both Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2008 R2.
• I installed Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2 via the Server Manager of Windows Server 2008.
• All of the software is 64-bit
• I used a HyperV virtual PC to test this out, which was connected to the actual network and Active Directory

Just be sure to select the option to use the local database during the installation of WSUS (I installed SQL locally on the same machine) The reason why I did this is to run a trial of SCCM 2007 R2 (Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager) on that machine. That same machine will then also replace a current WSUS instance on another server.

Expect more on this in the future!

Update for HTC HD2 Opening Java-messages;
http://www.htc.com/nl/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=0&dl_id=921
Even if you do not update anything else, please install this security update. It will prevent your HTC HD2 from immediately (without prompting) opening Java messages, leaving your phone (and data) vulnerable to a lot of exploits, hacks, deletion and so on.

It still stutters at times, but a lot less frequently

There also is a ROM upgrade for Vodafone NL customers, which upgrades your ROM version to 1.72.172.0. Note; this only applies to Vodafone HTC HD2′s and does not apply to any others!

Once you have applied these updates, be aware that you will need to apply them again in case you hard-reset or wipe your phone. Of course, this excludes the ROM update for Vodafone. As a tip; the ROM update for Vodafone does not necessarily include the other updates so be sure to apply them as well.

During and after the move I no longer tracked or kept track of all of those infometrics. Why would I? It has served it’s purpose; I am aware that I need to watch the amount of sugar I consume, I stopped drinking caffeine completely – and well, my sleep is what it is. I learned a lot from tracking all of it though.

Throughout the last few months I have begun to shift my focus away from trivial matters and started focussing more on the things and people I care about. I have become more protective of those important items, and dropped anything that wasn’t important or mattered.

One of the other ‘casualties’ that I no longer use, is Google Reader. I have un-subscribed from all of my feeds (par my friends) and am quite happy with it. Why would I need to know everything that happens all the time? I stopped watching news and reading newspapers a long time ago but yet was still reading it via RSS. Granted, it was news from sources that I found interesting – but still.

In this hectic life with information, data and charts flowing around us all the time I stepped out of the noise – and into the calm. What I see, read and watch is about what I want to – when I want to. And it’s not backlogged, saved or stored. I jump into the stream of information when and how I want, and get out – when I want.

If anything, I am more happy and content with what I have, get and give. And about what I don’t see, hear or get in my inbox.
