My new desk: awesome laptop and monitor stands for Macbook Pro

by kai on 16/07/2010

Well, it's technically not a new desk, but rather a new desk/workstation layout.

About three years ago, I saw an awesome laptop stand for his MacBook Pro in his office and I wanted one. As it usually happens - he didn't have the time to…

How to fix arbitrary error when mounting Windows drives via Samba in OSX

by kai on 14/07/2010

Even though I'm a convinced OS X / Mac user when it comes to my development machines, sometimes I unfortunately have to connect to resp. mount Windows shares via Samba.

Sometimes though unmounting the share/drive in Finder leads to a weird scenario…

How to upgrade your Vodafone Google Nexus One from EPF30 to Froyo - today!

by kai on 01/07/2010

Some people have asked me how to actually get rid of the Vodafone Nexus One firmware EPF30 and upgrade their device to Froyo (Android 2.2) pretty much now. Note: the only known way of doing this is by unlocking the boot loader of your Nexus One and that will void any warranty you might have on the phone. I just didn't care because I planned to hack and play around with this phone anyway right…

Those branding efforts often used…
