Why bother social media anymore?
Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at 9:53 PM UTC
I am done with social media in general.
Facebook is only usable with the genius browser plugin FBP. It is just my birthday calendar for my contacts I don’t maintain a “real” record in my phone or anywhere else.
Twitter/X always only was my news feed. If you don’t like the political bias here just do not read the comments and block accounts you don’t like - so ea [...]
Quick Tip: using an object as custom property
Monday, December 9, 2024 at 12:54 PM UTC
Just for my own record because I always forget:
If you ever need to pass any object data to a custom control, use this as the property data type:
com.ibm.jscript.std.ObjectObject
or
com.ibm.jscript.std.ArrayObject
depending on if you just need one or more objects.
This is handy if you use your custom control in a repeat where the looping element is a complex object. Surprisingly [...]
One week with the M4 Pro
Monday, November 25, 2024 at 8:15 PM UTC
Yes, I did it again and bought a MacBook Pro with an Apple chip. This time the M4 Pro arrived at my desk. After I got my M1 Pro in 2022 (one year after its launch) for my personal belongings, I thought it might be time to upgrade my work setup and replace the 2019 Intel based 16”. This machine was a mess from the beginning. Thermal issues all the time and fans giving me headache during the d [...]

When using this function, you will instantly notice another problem with the menu entries increasing every time you open it - but this is another story.
tl;dr
Here is a litte demo video
How to reproduce

HCL Ambassador in 2025? Nope.
Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 1:00 AM UTC
The nomination phase is over (due Oct 31) and now people at HCL are selecting the future HCL Ambassadors for 2025 in the next month and then finally present them in December.
This time I won’t be on this list, because I didn’t nominate myself for it - this is a prerequisite for it in general as it states that you want to be part of this remarkable group of people. This time I though [...]
Problem solved with Native Instruments Maschine
Friday, September 20, 2024 at 5:36 PM UTC
I am using NI products for ages and spent a lot of money. When Apple launched their new SoC, Native Instruments' products weren't compatible for quite a while. My latest finding was that I wasn't able to use certain kits from so called expansion packs in Maschine anymore. Those are using a small special version of "Battery" internally and this kept on making problems though i [...]
