Computername on Taskbar

When working with several computers and servers at the same time, it is useful to be able to simply see what system you’re working on. In the distant past, we have used bginfo with some success. Today we stumbled on a tip by Elliot Gillum on StackExchange. He gave credit to this original post at nextofwindows.com.

The steps are real easy:

  1. Right click on Taskbar
  2. Go to Toolbars
  3. Choose New toolbar
  4. Type in \\%computername% in the Folder field
  5. Click the Select Folder button

Or in dutch Windows:

  1. Klik rechts op de taakbalk
  2. Kies Werkbalken
  3. En kies dan Nieuwe werkbalk
  4. Typ \\%computername% in bij het Map veld
  5. Klik op de knop Map selecteren

To include the Actor font in your webpage:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Actor" />

Then use the font in your Css stylesheet:

p { font-family: Actor; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 20px; }

Due to the Golden Ratio displayed on https://www.cssfontstack.com/Actor .

m1m0 learn to code

An article in Computer Totaal mentioned this App. It is said to be a kind of game to learn programming bit by bit. By solving puzzles you gain points, thus rewarded for learning. The App gives you languages like HTML, CSS, SQL, Java, Python, Ruby, C++ and more. I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks like fun.
