Line height bookmarklet
As with the width in the previous post, I found myself in need of changing the line height of a page for more comfortable reading. Again, it resulted in a bookmarklet, as so: Usage: Copy the code above, create a new empty bookmark, and paste this code as location. Note: it currently supports only <P> [...]

For a little while now, I’ve been using my laptop with a 21.5 inch widescreen LCD at home. It’s a great expreience and all, but I’ve run into a few understandable, but annoying problems. Most pages on the web are not designed by true webdesigners, and definitely not designed for today’s screens with increasing resolutions [...]

Assembly Demo
At the moment, I’m at the beginning of gathering the required programming and technical knowledge to start writing my own OS. I’ve been messing around with assembly, and now I have a very-very-and I mean VERY simple screenshot to show you: What do we see here? The video mode has been switched to VGA. We’ve [...]

For some time now, I have been having trouble with deleting folders that contain a lot and – I mean a _lot_ – of files. Such folders are very hard to remove either with Windows Explorer or Total Commander. The reason for that is unknown to me. I guessing it has something to do [...]

2GB
… of RAM. As of some time today, there is 2GB of RAM in my laptop. That’s twice that size than before. As I expected, boot time and the overall performance did not improve that much. On the other hand startup time for VS2010, Photoshop and the like did in fact improve a lot. The [...]

The full title should be First Impressions on Visual Studio 2010 Team Suite Beta 1 – Part I. For obvious reasons (khm, it wouldn’t fit) I truncated it. Part I refers to the fact that this really is a first impressions review. I installed it, and now I share what I’ve noticed when I first [...]

Where to begin?
Yep, that’s the big question. I’ve finally decided that I’m going to have a go at operating system programming again. I’ve been reading about kernels, osdev concepts, protected mode, and similar stuff lately. I’ve found that by taking small and carefully designed steps from time to time, I can actually make something happen. Hence the [...]

Display problems
Some time ago I wrote a post about the problems that have arisen with my old desktop PC. I doubt that you’d remember, but the two problems is question were the wrong RAM modules and the strange lines running through the screen. These problems render the rig completely useless, and I have just figured out, [...]

Strange
The weirdest things happen to computers around me. Today I’m talking about my own desktop. After about two years of sleeping, the sleeping beauty has awaken. After – it seems – an eternity, I have finally succeeded in gathering all the components of my desktop computer together, and armed with a new 21.5 inch widescreen [...]

Vihar előtti csend
Lassan de biztosan közeleg a nyugodt semmittevés vége, hétfőn újra indul a show. Másnéven az egyetem, a 6. félév. Ezt az utolsó néhány napot – egyszerűen fogalmazva – bütyköléssel töltöttem. Rendszereztem a CD-imet, az adataimat még nem, Mac OS X-et telepítettem, a jövő félévre vonatkozó teendőimet vettem számításba és egyéb ilyesmi dolgok. Most meg Vista [...]
