For some reason Apple decided to remove support for AirPrint at the last moment before shipping the newest update of OS X.

Of course, it didn’t take long for people to figure out how to fix that. All you had to do was download three files that were included in prerelease versions of the update. Now, downloading different files and putting them in the correct location is a pain. Fortunately, the good people at Netputing have released AirPrint Hacktivator that includes these files and handles all the tricky stuff.

Download the file, enable AirPrint and you’re almost done. The only annoying thing is that you need to re-add all your printers before you can print to them.

At least my Samsung printer worked like a charm.

Post-it notes are awesome. They are my #1 tool in keeping focused on things I’m doing instead of worrying about what I should be doing.

If I’m doing something but start thinking about having to do something else, I write it down on a post-it note and continue working on it. Having it written down lets me concentrate on what I’m doing, as I don’t have to try to keep the next ten things I need to do in my head at the same time.

A post-it note is also useful as it can only fit a limited amount of things to do – just like your day. Mark McGuinnes wrote about a similar thing in his blog post If It Won’t Fit On A Post-It, It Won’t Fit In Your Day.

I use one post it TODO-note per day. Having limited space to write down things you need to do that day will force you to think about what you can realistically get done in a day.

So, apparently it has been eight months since I last updated my blog. Wow. That’s just incredibly lame.

Like 95% of all blogs (fun fact, 84% of all facts are made up on the spot), I started with a bang and then eventually forgot about blogging altogether. It just sunk too low on my TODO-list that finally it fell off.

Maybe the problem is that I’ve been too strict with keeping my blog tech-related. Sure, I work with technology and spend much of my free time with it, but it’s far from being the only thing in my life. I think that in the future, I’ll view my blog as an extended Twitter, a place where I can comment on things I find interesting and maybe spark a little discussion if someone else also finds that particular thing interesting.

No promises this time, we’ll see how it goes

Merry Christmas everyone!
