Apple/Mac Keyboards......

So I ordered an Apple Keyboard from the Online Dutch Apple Store, which is here I would like to mention that I actually ordered an Internation English Keyboard, and what I got was an UK English keyboard.....


So I call them (Apple), and asked if it was possible to get an US English keyboard.. Nop.. You will have to go to a store and ask them to help you...


And now that I'm in the market for the MacBook Pro I might have to goto the US to get one, to be sure that I get it with the right keyboard, as I do not want to pay close to 3.000 euro for something which will end up anoying me like hell....

Apple AirPort Express and Digital Jitter..

I'm doing something which I can't really afford, but doing it anyway ... I'm upgrading my Stereo ... I like music, and  believe it should be played at the highest affordable quality. So after getting a new Stereo Amp (Creek Evolution 50A), I got a new Phono Amp. and then started looking for a DAC ... and after reading I do not know how many posts I decided to get an S.M.S.L M8 (from  Amazon  fro €249.99), not too expensive and according to what I can read very good. So I got it hooked it up to my amp, connected my Notebook (Macbook Air 11" / 2011) using USB ... sounded nice, then my Macbook Pro Retina with digital (fiber) in some way better than USB, slightly more air and openness. Then decided to use my old Apple Airport Express ( MB321LL/A  - 802.11n version 1) using it's digital output (I don't like the build in DAC - it's a bit too dark for me), and this is where I started having doubts about my buy. There was drop out, all the time. Right I changed, to

EIZO Colornavigator - Data Access Error

The other day I changed the SSD in one of my Macbooks (retina ...), and restored it from a TimeMachine backup. Everything was working, except for Eizo Colornavigator 7, which gave me an error: "Data Access Error - Failed to write data. The data my be corrupted. Uninstall ColorNavigator 7 once and reinstall it" If for the life of it couldn't figure out what was going on, even using AppCleaner (which normally does a proper cleanup) did not fix it. I removed everything else I could find which had to do with Eizo, and still problem was there. I then contacted Eizo Support, which told me to reinstall ... dooo..... But I then just for the fun of it install the latest version again, and look at what it installed, and found "/Library/Application Support/EIZO/tools/ColorNavigator 7/" which have Uninstaller Full.app” and "ColorNavigator 7 Uninstaller.app”. So the fix is: # cd  "/Library/Application Support/EIZO/ColorNavigator 7/tools” # open “ColorNavigator 7 Un

WMware ESXI - suspend all guests

I have an VMware ESXI 5 which I used for testing things, but I don't want it to run all the time, and using the vSphere Client to stop all the VM's and then stop the ESXI server is a bit too much effort. So I figured out how to do it from the commandline using 'vim-cmd'. #/bin/sh VMS=`vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms | grep -v Vmid | awk '{print $1}'` for VM in $VMS ; do      PWR=`vim-cmd vmsvc/power.getstate $VM | grep -v "Retrieved runtime info"`      if [ "$PWR" == "Powered on" ] ; then           name=`vim-cmd vmsvc/get.config $VM | grep -i "name =" | awk '{print $3}' | head -1 | cut -d """ -f2`           echo "Powered on: $name"           echo "Suspending: $name"           vim-cmd vmsvc/power.suspend $VM > /dev/null &
