Windows 8 UI on final release


How horrible.
The borders are thick and I think we can't resize them.
It seems you can choose to apply the color in the taskbar only or in the taskbar and in the windows...

Xampp



I'm using Xampp, but the httpd service doesn't start.
Apache Start.bat doesn't work and reports:

Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80.

In my case the problem is Skype that is using the port #80, so:
  • Open Skype and go to Tools > Options >Advanced > Connection
  • Uncheck "Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections" checkbox
  • Enter a different port in the "use port ___ for the incoming connections" field (80 is the default, change it with another -unused- port)
  • Restart Skype!

F.lux: manage your lighting


F.lux is a simply tool to automatically manage display lighting during the day depending to the hour.

You can set the color temperature (3400K to 6500K) for the daytime and for the night and how much time use for the transition.

Useful to save your eyes!


PS: if you need perfect colors (for graphic works) you can temporary switch off the program. ;-)
