  • Proximus fraud email address

    In case, like me, you suddenly can’t make any outgoing phone calls, or send any text messages, and your data connection is cut off. And yes, this includes calling the Proximus helpdesk (6000)… ps: WELL DONE PROXIMUS. NICE. The message I heard when trying to make an outgoing phone call as along the lines of…

  • Eurostar.com sitemap links to spam site…

    The Eurostar.com (cached copy) sitemap links to an odd directory: eurostar.com/bestkeptsecret (which was part of a viral campaign in 2006, Google tells me), which in turn redirects to a spam site… 🙁   Visiting that links redirect to a spammy website about real estate… Please clean up your shit -.-) HTTP headers when getting eurostar.com/bestkeptsecret: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved…

  • Random reboots of Galaxy Nexus

    Since I moved to Antwerp, in a high building apparently made out of the thickest steel they could find (> My wifi signal barely passes the internal walls, and I’m pretty much unable to make a decent cell phone call) my Galaxy Nexus has been behaving oddly. It started during the night of the press…

  • Android 4.1 IMAP + stock mail bug

    On 4.1 (yes, I’m lagging behind with my blog posts) something rather funky happened. And it took my 7 days to notice. My phone was running hotter and battery life was suddenly crappier than usual. But not really paying attention, until my cell provider (Proximus) texted me I was over my data consumption limit… As…

  • Mac OS X Mountain Lion: unable to add printers

    Okay. This one took a long time to solve. At some random point after upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion was unable to add new printers. As I don’t really add new printers on a daily base, I have no idea when it actually happened or what might have caused it. If I deleted…

  • Laggy Android 4.2 on Galaxy Nexus? Kill Currents!

    I updated to 4.2. Then I wanted a new phone. 4.2.1 came. It solved 5% of the lagginess. However, it was still unbearably slow. With 4.1 I had an amazing phone, 4.2 made me want to shoot it. But after 4ish weeks I found something out… Go to Settings and then Sync, click the Google…

  • Adium refusing to remember passwords

    I reinstalled my Mountain Lion, and since then Adium keeps asking for passwords on every Adium restart/startup. Understandably, this is quite annoying. I’ve tried the following: readd the accounts reinstall adium run keychain first aid check this reboot pray to the gods, old and new check console (which is spawning a thousand million errors about…

  • A regular day at the office!

  • Mac os (Mountain) Lion + external display + sleep when closing the lid

    I recently dared to upgrade from Snow Leopard (10.6) to Mountain Lion (10.8), skipping Lion (10.7) altogether. One of the mayor disturbances I had, was when I was using my Macbook Pro at my home office. I use an external display (some Samsung SyncMaster) as well as my MBP’s main display. I put my MBP…
