In my last post, I have showed, how the new Google Reader’s user interface is so unfriendly, wasting more than 40% screen space. I came across, some user defined CSS to solve the Google user interface issues. I have modified the CSS by Ingmar Hupp to provide more reading space for news items. I am using Stylish addon for Firefox, to load the user CSS.

Just wrote this script to remove the VSS source safe bindings from old visual studio projects, so that I can move to GIT repository. I just run these commands using the Cygwin shell, from the solution root folder, and it removes all traces of the source control of the Jurassic era.

find . -type f -name *.dsp -print0 | xargs -0 -r perl -p -i.vssbak -e 's/^.*Scc_ProjName.*$//g'
find . -type f -name *.dsp -print0 | xargs -0 -r perl -p -i.vssbak -e 's/^.*Scc_LocalPath.*$//g'
find . -type f -name *.dsw -print0 | xargs -0 -r sed -i '/begin.source.code.control/,/end.source.code.control/d'

You can directly download your compiled HEX file from the Keil µVision 4 IDE or any other IDE to your STM32 value discovery kit or any other STM32 microcontroller, using the command line ST-Link utility. That means, that you don’t need to manually search the HEX file and use the ST-Link Utility GUI to flash the MCU. Just a press of download button in the IDE, will be enough to load your new program to the STM32 MCU and reset it also.

You need to go to the Utilities tab in the project options (ALT + F7) and select the “Use External Tool for Flash programming“. Browse to the path of the “ST-LINK_CLI.exe” program and give the command line arguments as: ‘-c SWD -p "$H@H.hex" -Rst -Run‘.
