Organize devices on the desk

April 18th, 2007 Michael Stepanov No comments

After we moved to the new flat I decided to put my computer devices more efficient on the my small desk. I followed by brief guide of Van Mardian and mounted an ADSL modem and WiFi router under my desk. I don’t have so much devices which can be mount such manner but I got some free space on the desk. The next step is to mount power extender there as well.

Thanks to Lifehacker for a good point.

Embperl and %ENV

January 25th, 2007 Michael Stepanov 2 comments

Recently I faced with problem to incorrect displaying none-latin characters on the HTML page generated by Embperl. This happened because Embperl escapes all output symbols by default. To avid it it’s needed to specify a parameter EMBPERL_OUTPUT_ESC_CHARSET = 0. For web application is works fine because Embperl check %ENV and changes its parameters according to it. But if you need to run Embperl script from command line it doesn’t work. The solution is following: add into %ENV desired parameter

$ENV{EMBPERL_OUTPUT_ESC_CHARSET} = 0;

and pass additional parameter to the Embperl::Execute – use_env

Embperl::Execute( { inputfile => my-test-file.epl,
param => [<some data>],
use_env => 1,
});

Howto shutdown Windows PC in specified time

Probably, the easiest way is this:

  • Go to Start –> Run and run command cmd to open command line window
  • Run this command

    shutdown -s -t 1800

That’s it. Your PC will be shutdown after 30 minutes.
The same way you can reboot/shutdown Windows PC via remote desktop.

Nokia 770 Laptop Conversion

Nokia770

I came across this howto which describes a way to convert your small Nokia 770 into laptop. The idea is good but what the meaning to buy Nokia if you need a laptop? I agree that it’s useful to have external keyboard but no more than it (IMHO).
But anyway maybe it’ll be helpful for someone who has different opinion :)
