Here’s a quick extract of all the Countries in Apple’s itunesconnect.com to which developer’s can publish their iOS apps to (as of December 25, 2012):
OS X: How-to remove unknown Login Items
I noticed recently, that I had a grayed out item named “Unknown” in my login items list in OS X Lion, even indicated with a warning icon next to it. But I couldn’t remove this – obviously missing – item from… Continue reading » “OS X: How-to remove unknown Login Items”
Find My Mac: How to remove a iPhone/Mac from the device list in iCloud
In iCloud you may only remove an iPhone/Mac from the “Find My Mac” list, if it is listed as offline. In this case, a small “X” icon will appear next to it on the list – by clicking on it, you can remove it from the list and thus from tracking it.
Does Serious Sam 3 run on an iMac (Mid 2011) and OS X Lion?
Yes, it does! Seriously. Even on “Ultra” with GPU Settings on “High”. Period.
Automator-Service to add Task to Wunderlist
I started using the fantastic app “Wunderlist” for my personal Task Management on the Mac, of course with synchronisation to iPhone and the web. Thanks to a Blog post from James O’Donnell on Scribd, I got my hands quickly on the required AppleScript. However, I didn’t like the fact that he made the script ask for a new User Input which will be created as new task – rather than just taking the currently selected text. So I adjusted his AppleScript code and put it into an Automator Service workflow, which you can download here.
How to prevent somebody using your Domain for sending SPAM Mails

Based on a forum post on the Digital Point forum, I summarized the steps I followed to prevent the abuse of my domain for SPAM.

Project Server 2010: Export Status Report Responses using Excel
Microsoft didn’t spend too much time on the “Status Reports” module in Project Server 2010, leaving it with many disadvantages and even a somewhat not so intuitive handling. This affects especially the extraction of Responses to Status Reports. That’s why I developed my own SQL-Query to export these responses to an Excel Pivot-Table.
Project Server 2010: How-to add Notifications for your Users
Unfortunately Microsoft’s Project Server 2010 doesn’t allow an administrator to set default settings for Notifications for all Users. So I had to figure out a way how I can “force” my Users to receive certain Notifications – and I dug into the Database for that.
