RAGE

You know that you are a nerd when…

… you wake up like you’d been hit by a truck, because you couldn’t sleep half night because defrag was running, making all kinds of crazy HDD noises.

At least my HDD is feeling good today ;)

Parteiwebseiten und Webstandards

Ich habe mal die Webseiten von Österreichs Parteienlandschaft mit dem W3-Validator überprüft – jetzt ist mir schlecht.

1. Platz: Die Grünen – VALID
validator.w3.org/check

2. Platz: SPÖ – 83 Errors, 7 warning(s)
validator.w3.org/check

3. Platz: BZÖ – 117 Errors, 53 warning(s)
validator.w3.org/check

4. Platz: ÖVP – 167 Errors, 22 warning(s)
validator.w3.org/check

5. Platz FPÖ – 888 Errors, 22 warning(s)
validator.w3.org/check

Nicht im Nationalrat vertretene Parteien (außer Konkurrenz):

LIF - 28 Errors, 23 warning(s)
validator.w3.org/check

KPÖ - 41 Errors
validator.w3.org/check

Ironischerweise deckt sich diese Rangliste zu 100% mit meinen politischen Präferenzen (außer vielleicht dem dritten Platz für das BZÖ).
Bemerkenswert auch, wie gut die nicht im Nationalrat vertretenen Parteien abschneiden – man sollte meinen, bei der Parteienförderung, die die anderen abstauben, sollte ein ordentlicher Webdesigner drin sein.

How to disable annoying and completely unnecessary items from system tray

Do you have multiple network adapters? If you use a laptop, you probably do, and valuable taskbar space is wasted by completely superfluous items in the task bar.
They basically inform you that there is no network cable connected to a specific network card. Now, network errors are one of the most obvious errors. If there is something wrong (and in 99% of the cases there isn’t, even though windows bugs you) you WILL notice it early enough, and check the settings.
If you have some virtualisation going on, the situation will get completely out of control (see picture).

Another bullshit message Windows is going to spam you with: “Limited or no connectivity”. IF there is no IP obtained, im going to notice this and run ipconfig myself, thank you very much.
noconnectivity

Anyway, luckily there is a solution, and a quite easy one: its just deleting a registry key (back it up before, tough):

1. delete HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7007ACCF-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}
2. ???
3. PROFIT!
