I have always taken the Windows way of printing multiple images and photos (on the same sheet) for granted but when I wanted to do the same from my Mac I quickly realized I didn’t know how. So, for future reference, here it is. Continue reading
Here’s how to add “Open in Terminal” in the context menu (right-click menu) of folders in Finder:
Go to System Preferences→Keyboard→Keyboard Shortcuts→Services and enable “New Terminal at Folder” (or “New Terminal tab at Folder”).

Adding a shortcut will disable the service from the context menu list so you might want to enable it again by checking the box.
My MacBook Air logic board has died again. This is the third time in four months and once again I got it back to life by baking the logic board in the oven. I upped the cooking time a bit since the second time I baked it, this time keeping it in the kitchen oven for 8:00 minutes in 188 ℃.

I must admit I’m a bit disappointed since it’s only been two months since I first baked the logic board and I had hoped the previous resurrection would last six months before the computer would die on me again. It obviously didn’t, but at least it works again after second visit to the kitchen oven. Continue reading
The Navigon 6310 is a personal navigation assistant, PNA, which runs the Mobile Navigator software (MN7.5.9) from Navigon on top of its Windows CE 6 operating system.

This article describes how you can retrieve the Favorites.store and RecentTargets.store files and modify the Navigon software so the files are stored in a more accessible place instead (e.g. the internal flash drive or the memory card, both which can be accessed through USB).

The other day I noticed the search function in Mac OS X Mail (Lion) wasn’t turning up email I know I had somewhere in some mailbox. This was quite irritating since I knew (roughly) the contents of the email and needed to get it but I didn’t know when I had gotten it. Continue reading
