    On Thursday night I used my Nexus 4 as GPS (as I always do — it’s my main navigation device, so Google, please bring back a usable navigation app pretty plx!) to drive from Brussels to Antwerp (~40 minutes). I had about 60% of battery left when I turned on the GPS. I tend to…

  • Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.

    5 or so days ago, this error suddenly popped up: Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder. I have a Raspberry Pi, acting as TimeMachine (using afp/Bonjour/Netatalk). There are several things I tried to solve this, including messing in the sparebundle from Linux (chowning) and deleting my TM .plist. This…

  • Postfix + maildrop + recipient_delimiter

    I suddenly noticed issues with Postfix not accepting e-mails that are tagged (“user+TAG@fqdn”) anymore. Even though it always had.

  • Office 2010: cannot verify the license for this product

    Due to continuous Access errors, I decided to reinstall Office Professional 2010 (64 bit). As I couldn’t find the original CD key I installed it with, I used another one from another installation. So far so good, installation went fine, etc. Once I started any Office app, it popped up this error: “Microsoft Office professional plus 2010…
