After some experimenting it turned out that H.264 video needs to be encoded using the Baseline Profile for the HTC Hero (running Android 1.5) to be able to play it. High Profile will not play at all on the phone. Main Profile will play, but gives an entirely green video – unusable.
VLC H264 performance issues – solved
This summer I took my Dell Latitude D830 with me on holiday to view the movies that I recorded with a Panasonic HD video camera. Frustratingly enough, in France it turned out to be impossible to play them on my laptop 🙁 Spent hours fiddling with every imaginable setting. At home everything worked fine though.… Continue reading VLC H264 performance issues – solved
Sysprep Windows 7 & Secunia PSI
I am cooking up an unattended Windows 7 installation image for our users. This is done by carefully preparing a Reference VM using the Audit Mode. This basically means it logs on as administrator, and after sysprepping with the new CopyProfile option, this becomes the profile for newly created users. I ran into an issue… Continue reading Sysprep Windows 7 & Secunia PSI

RoundCube email hangs on “Sending message…”
While configuring one of my clients RoundCube installation in combination with Plesk, it would work almost OK, except that when sending mails RoundCube would hang at the spinner with “Sending message…”. After some digging it turns out that the Plesk-bundled PEAR module directory was before the RoundCube bundled PEAR modules directory. Both contain Mail_Mime, but… Continue reading RoundCube email hangs on “Sending message…”
550 User on holiday
Usually vacation messages are sent from userland software, but that option has the disadvantage that you still receive lots of messages during your holiday. Also, because the mailserver accepted the message, you have the responsibility to handle it. In order to get around this, configure your mail server with a custom permanant error for your… Continue reading 550 User on holiday

To keep all your applications up-to-date you installed Secunia PSI,… Continue reading Running Secunia PSI as non-admin
Een goed begin…
