Annoying Scroll-Lock indicator popup on Lenovo Thinkpad with Windows 708/25/2010 19:09
On a Lenovo ThinkPad W510 I had an annoying problem with a popup indicating if the Scoll-Lock key was pressed. That tiny little grey window was popping up in the lower right corner of the screen.
The reason for hating that popus is that in Flightsimulator X the Scroll-Lock key is used to open the ATC window. If you play in DirectX fullscreen mode the screen flickers heavily for several seconds.
I found that the indator is not a Thinkpad feature but part of the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack. No idea why that software is doing this kind of stuff but here is the trick how to disable that indicator popup:
Use your registry editor and change the DWORD for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\General to a value 0. To reenable restore the default value of 1.
No sound with AMAROK in Ubuntu Linux 9.10?04/23/2010 10:34
I had a strange problem with AMAROK not playing any sound. Even weird if I used the test-button in the preferences I did hear sound.
After searching the web I found that you have to install this package: libxine1-ffmpeg

IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.x Books02/02/2010 11:45
I recommend these books for IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.x:
I found a product at the Lotusphere Showcase that seems to be worth having a look. IONET Software offers a change management tool for auditing changes in the Domino Directory. The Change Manager seems to be designed to work fine in a distributed server environment. All software is in Notes databases so no software needs to be installed on the OS or as an extension manager to Domino. Technorati: Lotus DominoLotus Notes (2)

I really like to scroll using the third/blue mouse key on my Thinkpad. I was missing this feature with Ubuntu Linux and found that this solution also worked for my T60p. Technorati: LinuxThinkpad (0)
