Quick Tip: TickTick kills a VS Code shortcut
Tuesday, January 28, 2025 at 9:10 PM UTC
I recently started to use TickTick, a powerful app to track your personal tasks, reminders etc. I am using the Mac version which introduces a keyboard shortcut to quickly startg a pomodoro timer.
The problem is: the same shortcut is used to open the command menu in VS Code: SHIFT+CMD+P
VS Code stopped to react on this one and it took me a while to figure out the reason, so here is how to dis [...]
Java != Java on Domino
Wednesday, January 8, 2025 at 6:07 PM UTC
Today I again encountered some strange things on different Domino machines. It’s Java again. The other specs are:
my local dev box is 12.0.2FP2, running in a container using the HCL image
the other machines are natively installed 12.0.2FP2, also Linux
there are no language packs installed at all
The parts that are used:
some Java in an NSF, defined as managed bean (but t [...]
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.

Quick Tip: using an object as custom property

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 [...]
Domino Designer: refactoring issue
Sunday, November 10, 2024 at 4:59 PM UTC
I recently noticed another weird behaviour in Designer using the Eclipse-function to rename a Java class.
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
To reproduce this, do the following:
