Naturally there are always problems with first generation hardware from Apple. That is just to be expected.

Homemade pizza

Efter en teorilektion igår så fortsatte vi med praktik i en av deltagarnas trädgård strax utanför Vänge idag. Vi hade tur och det blev en solig vårvinter dag som gjorde det uthärdligt att klafsa runt i snön och klippa träd.

När vi kom hem var vi frusna så vi satte på bastun och lagade pizza. Mums!

Apple has just sent out invitations to a special media event on March 17. The invite-only event is geared towards the new iPhone SDK, Apple says, and will give the media a “sneak peek” at the iPhone OS 3.0 software. The event will apparently be an intimate one, as it will take place at Apple’s Town Hall building in Cupertino at 10am Pacific Time.

Hopefully we’ll get to see the notification service Apple has promised but never delivered. A new spring board might also be in order now when people use a lots more applications.

On Tuesday we’ll know.

There’s always time to launch your dream

“I’d love to start a company / become a great programmer / write an awesome blog, but there’s just not enough time in the day!” Bullshit. There’s always enough time, you’re just not spending it right.

Anna Ternheim @Katalin, Uppsala

I tisdagskväll så besökte Anna Ternheim Uppsala och Katalin för en extra konsert då hennes tidigare besök blev utsålt. Denna gång blev det också utsålt, men skillnaden var att vi hann få tag i biljetter.

Jag tycker att det var en bra spelning och Anna visar på betydande mer scennärvaro och självförtroende än tidigare. Hon har kommit en lång väg sen jag såg henne som förband till Lars Winnerbäck i Stockholm där hon satt och gömde ansiktet i en huvtröja på scenen.

Denna spelning överglänser Annas förra besök på Katalin i November 2006. Förhoppningsvis fortsätter trenden i framtiden.

Life saving keyboard shortcut in Eclipse

Friday, March 6th, 2009

A look at the Window > Navigation menu reveals a number of ways to quickly navigate between the various views, editors, perspectives, and menus in the workbench. These commands have keyword accelerators such as Ctrl+F6 for switching between editors, Ctrl+F7 for switching between views, Ctrl+F8 for switching between perspectives, and F12 for activating the editor.

To directly navigate to a particular view you can define a keyboard shortcut to a view via the General > Keys

Help – Eclipse SDK

I have since I made the switch from IntelliJ IDEA to Eclipse longed for a shortcut to move the focus directly to the Project Explorer. Now I’ve found it!

Just go to Preferences > General > Keys and search for ‘project explorer’. Select the ‘Show View (View: Project Explorer)’ alternative and assign a binding for it. I used alt+<, which is easy to press with the left hand.

Now you can enjoy instant access to the Project Explorer from anywhere.
