Okay, remember these date functions?
Here is another one when asked to submit a date/time as a Unix timestamp…
Calculated in seconds from January 1st, 1970 in Visual Basic.
Public Function fncConvertToUnixTimestamp(datDate As DateTime) As Double
Dim datOrigin As DateTime = New DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc)
Dim diff As TimeSpan = datDate.ToUniversalTime() - datOrigin
Return (Math.Floor(diff.TotalSeconds))
End FunctionHave a nice day!
Combining these takes a bit of tweaking.
CTRL-` starts the command line in a nice window, but I would like to use a different startup-folder.
How to change the default terminal directory in vscode?
Read from this link:
Navigate to File -> Preferences -> Settings.
Type cwd in search.
Choose Terminal > Integrated: Cwd settings.
Type the default path you want to set in the text block below (simply, no need for double hashes to escape)
No need for saving, It’s automatic.
Restart VS Code.
Next issue is trying to start cordova. It gives an error which can also be solved by setting the correct permissions for the Powershell. Read this link:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

While the previous article focussed on installing Cordova, this one has some usefull tip and tricks. A lot of possible issues and solutions to keep in mind while trying to get your app functional again.
Read it on stackoverflow here.
I have several apps that currently rely on PhoneGap Build to create native apps for Andriod and iOS. It seems that Adobe is about to abandon iOS compatibility by failing to upgrade to the latest Cordova iOS version to meet Apple’s requirements. It’s time to move to CLI. I’m hoping that someone who’d done this before can provide some tips on how they did this. In particular, changes to workflow, handling keys and config.xml, etc.
Continue reading Converting Phonegap Build to Cordova CLIAnd don’t forget to read the official documentation as well.
With PhoneGap Build shutting down, many developers are now left trying to find options to continue building their Cordova-based applications. While several new services like Ionic’s Appflow and Monaca Cloud have entered the market as replacements. Their cost might be too much for the independent developer. One of the things that attracted many to use PhoneGap Build was it was included as part of your Creative Cloud subscription. There was even a free version for open-source projects. For those developers who are either resource constrained or want complete control over their build system, they should migrate to using the Cordova CLI and building locally.
There are four general steps we need to take to accomplish this:
If not using WordPress you may need to create your own .htaccess file for this.
So how do you forward?
http://example.com/
http://www.example.com/
https://www.example.com/
to
https://example.com/
Create a new .htaccess file and enter the following content:

Reboot and keep hitting ESC, F2, F8, F10 or whatever the computer requires… But, there is another way, which I found out trying this for an old ASUS Transformer T100.
According to Asus: Press and hold the F2 button, then click the power button. DO NOT RELEASE the F2 button until the BIOS screen display.
Of course this does not work, why else would I write about it?

Another issue …. suddenly the unified folders view was not showing the e-mails anymore from one of my e-mail accounts. Solution? Delete some files and force Thunderbird to recreate it’s unified folders cache.

Using a new (to me) version of Word 2019 brings new challenges.
I create invoices in Microsoft Word and save them as a PDF file to send by e-mail. In Acrobat it started showing the Word document property for document title, and no longer the filename, like I was used to in Word 2013.
The answer is a simple option… you just have to know where to find it:
Continue reading Word 2019 Save as PDF shows ‘title’, not ‘filename’Learned something new today… Also see the wiki:
Een kilobyte, afgekort kB, is 1000 bytes. Vroeger werd er verschil gemaakt tussen een hoofd- en een kleine letter k:
| k = kilo (103) | 1.000 |
| K = kilo (210) | 1.024 |
In praktijk werkte dit verwarrend en bedoelde men met 1 kB vaak 1024 bytes.
De oude notatie wordt ontraden sinds er een nieuwe standaard is voor binaire voorvoegsels (zie: veelvouden van bytes). Deze standaard wordt echter nog niet veel toegepast.
Let op: het is nog steeds van belang voor de B een hoofdletter te gebruiken: een kleine letter b staat namelijk voor bit en niet voor byte.
1024 B heet nu een kibibyte, afgekort KiB. 1000 kB heet een megabyte, 1024 KiB heet een mebibyte.
In een tabel:
| symbool | naam | waarde | symbool | naam | waarde | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| kB | kilobyte | 10001 = 103 | KiB | kibibyte | 10241 =210 | 2,4% |
| MB | megabyte | 10002 = 106 | MiB | mebibyte | 10242 =220 | 4,9% |
| GB | gigabyte | 10003 = 109 | GiB | gibibyte | 10243 =230 | 7,4% |
| TB | terabyte | 10004 = 1012 | TiB | tebibyte | 10244 =240 | 10,0% |
| PB | petabyte | 10005 = 1015 | PiB | pebibyte | 10245 =250 | 12,6% |
| EB | exabyte | 10006 = 1018 | EiB | exbibyte | 10246 =260 | 15,3% |
| ZB | zettabyte | 10007 = 1021 | ZiB | zebibyte | 10247 =270 | 18,1% |
| YB | yottabyte | 10008 = 1024 | YiB | yobibyte | 10248 =280 | 20,9% |
The more you know… 🙂
