Same applies in my opinion to Serious Sam 3 and Diablo 3. So I took a few minutes to compile my own “Soundtrack Compilations” for those two games on Spotify. You can access an subscripe to these playlist using below links:

• Diablo III – Epic Soundtracks (on Spotify)
• Serious Sam – Metal (on Spotify)

This should definitely add some more epic background music when slaying or shooting through the games Enjoy!

Haven’t found a statement about this anywhere on the Internet – so I thought I’ll share it

Before I used to write all my To-dos simply into the Stickies.app – which worked, but was not too flexible. While migrating all pending Tasks from my notes, I realized that I’d love to be able to use the right-click-contextmenu to send the current text selection to Wunderlist. As I have done similiar things already for image manipulations, etc. using an Automator Service, I knew where to start for my new requirement

Thanks to a Blog post from James O’Donnell on Scribd, I got my hands quickly on the required AppleScript. However, I didn’t like the fact that he made the script ask for a new User Input which will be created as new task – rather than just taking the currently selected text. So I adjusted his AppleScript code as follows:

on run
        tell application "System Events"
                keystroke "c" using {command down}
        end tell
        set inputText to the clipboard as Unicode text
        tell application "Wunderlist"
                activate
                tell application "System Events"
                        tell process "Wunderlist"
                                keystroke "i" using {command down}
                                keystroke "n" using {command down}
                                keystroke "v" using {command down}
                                keystroke (ASCII character 3)
                        end tell
                end tell
        end tell
end run

Don’t worry, you don’t have to build the Automator Service yourself – attached to this Blog post I included the finished workflow file you can use (which takes always the selected text as input for a new Wunderlist task).

Install Automator Service

→ Download my OSX Wunderlist Automator Workflow

1. Unzip the file
2. Double-click the .workflow file and confirm with “Install”

How-to use

1. Select any text in any application (f.eg. Mail)
   
    
2. Right-click the selected text & choose “Add to Wunderlist” from the context-menu
   
    
3. Tadaa – the selection has been added as new Task in Wunderlist!
   
    

Hope it’s all fine now.

What is also worth an experiencing is night-sledging (tracks are highlighted) and of course the Ice Bar in the middle of town. But there are 2 things to be carfeul about – beside regular safety precautions and warm clothes:

1. The sledging trail is closed twice a day: in the morning until about 10:30 am, and in the evening from about 5pm – 7pm.
2. You can see it from the previous point: i had to write “about”: Bergün seems to be the only Swiss town where you cannot be sure about any public displayed time tables. Whether for the train nor the closing hours of the sledging trail. So don’t expect Swiss accurateness on minutes here, or inform yourself at the information desk at the station.

Regarding the sledges: don’t take your own sledge here – you can rent really good ones at a store just next to the station! Probably ask for a short instruction on how to use them…

Overall we spent an amazing and fun weekend (still feel it in my legs ) in a beautiful, charming little town.

Suprisingly there weren’t a lot of people, even tough we went skiing there on a beautiful Saturday. This area is also quite suitable for beginners – the tracks are long, wide and not really steep. I can definitely recommend Brigels for skiing!

A day pass for skiing costs CHF 53.– and for a lunch menu you can get through with about CHF 25.– (there was an awesome menu of the day, including a soup or salad).

Today, nearly all abusive e-mail messages carry fake sender addresses. The victims whose addresses are being abused often suffer from the consequences, because their reputation gets diminished and they have to disclaim liability for the abuse, or waste their time sorting out misdirected bounce messages.

This all was because I had a feature enabled which redirects anything sent to any e-mail address @mydomain to my personal e-mail account. This is not only annoying, but also your domain could get “black listed” as soon as some big SPAM protection services realize that this type of mails are being sent from your domain – resulting in blocking any future mail you send from it, even the ones you really did send yourself.

Thanks to a very detailed forum post on Digital Point I got some ideas how I can (quickly) prevent receiving the mentioned messages and – hopefully – not getting my domain black listed. I summarized below the actions I took, so this might also help anybody who runs across the same issues with a personal domain.

• Disable the feature that any e-mails sent to @yourdomain are being forwarded/transmitted
  
  
• Enable (if available) SPAM protection for OUTGOING e-mails
  
• For e-mail addresses you want to receive messages on @yourdomain, create according e-mail aliases
  

With those basic changes, you should be able to prevent basically all unwanted replies from SPAM e-mails being sent from your domain. It will probably not be 100% sufficient for preventing somebody to abuse your domain for custom SPAM e-mail messages. This part is much more advanced and requires usually quite a wide access to your e-mail server. Refer to the linked forum post for additional settings possible for this area.

It’s a common problem between Mac and Windows users, when you create a ZIP archive under Mac OS X, that it will contain a bunch of unwanted files, which you don’t want to have included in the archive. In OS X’s Finder you won’t notice that, because the Finder is hiding them from you. But they will show up on the Windows side after unzipping the archive.

Fortunately there is quite a simple and straight-forward solution for Mac OS X to create so called “Clean Archives”, using a predesigned Automator action.

The script has been developed by junecloud.com and can be downloaded directly from their website: Create Clean Archive Automator action

What I created was an Automator service add-in for Finder, allowing you to use this action via right-click on files & folders in OS X.

After installing Junecloud’s Automator action, you can download my Automator workflow here and just put it into the following folder to activate:

~/Library/Services/

The steps to do so are slightly different – especially the fact that you do not navigate to your backup drive in Finder, but use the Time Machine application instead.

Here are the instructions, if you want to delete specific files & folders from existing Time Machine backups:

1. Open the desired folder containing the objects you want to delete with Finder
2. Now launch Time Machine (f.eg. by using Spotlight) in order to view that exact folder with Time Machine
3. Select the files and/or folders you want to delete
4. Click the Gear-icon in the window’s menu bar and choose “Delete objects from all Backups” *
   
5. Done, the files/folders are gone and the additional free space is available.

* Alternatively, to delete only the current version, right-click on the files/folders and choose “Delete” from the dropdown menu.

To be honest, for Swiss people it might not be that special. Children might like it, though – and specially tourists visiting Switzerland.

The nice part of this evening was to walk back to St. Gallen in the fresh snow. We took some flash lights with us and were surprised that there was a normal street leading down to St. Georgen, a part of St. Gallen city. The walk took us about 45 minutes and was really enjoyable – I can definitely recommend it, whether during night or daytime, winter and summer seasons!
