Mysterious hangs on TFS operations

December 18, 2006 · Posted in SCM · Comment 

If your Visual Studio instance hangs when doing operations that normally show a dialog, it might be because you have multiple monitors and the one Team Foundation wants to show the dialog on is not connected or you have swapped the primary and secondary monitor.
This is actually not a TFS-only problem I’ve seen the same hang in other applications too so I guess it’s Windows that hasn’t figured out that a monitor is missing.

If only someone had told me about apropos earlier.

I took the final test for a Linux introduction course at the university today. I think I passed but as usual I was a bit sloppy.

Anyway, what I really wanted to say was that apropos is such a time saver for the Linux newbie  that I think it should be mentioned a hundred times by each graphical Linux installer.

I hope this will help someone moving from Windows to Linux.

A ray of pain – scary

Wired reports here about the US Army testing a ray gun to control crowds.
It will probably not be long until the we see these kind of devices mounted on surveilance cameras all around town.

We’ll feel real safe knowing we can get hit by a trigger happy rent-a-cop whenever he feels like it.
