Public transport in Sweden

Priority-based project management

So here we have Project 2013, but what do we see:

Exactly, "Hello Windows 3.1"! But why? I remind the same case with having only 16 colors available to style background of a cell until Excel 2007. But, as Joel Spolsky has described, it's intentional. It's a priority-based development: they had this "issue" on the list for years, but got it to be fixed only recently. I suppose that for Project there is the same case.

Is it good or bad? Well, I hope that Microsoft will be capable of finding additional people to fix that minor but disappointing stuff. Certainly, 95% won't notice a problem, but others 5% will, and that can make sense, because those guys/gals are usually early adopters, evangelists and IT decision makers. It's like a debt, but not technical, rather a task-based debt. Sometimes everyone needs to make a cleanup, at least each year before Easter, right? :)

Узнать код бронирования PNR в Аэрофлот

При покупке билетов на рейсы Аэрофлот у лоукостеров (обычно всё же выходит дешевле :) посредник стандартно выдаст вам номер брони, номер заказа, но не внутренний код бронирования Аэрофлота PNR, что надо вводить на сайте http://www.aeroflot.ru/cms/online_registration. Так вот, извлечь этот номер можно на одном из этих сайтов систем резервирования:

• http://classic.checkmytrip.com
• http://www.viewtrip.com
• http://www.virtuallythere.com
• http://www.myairlines.ru
• https://mytripandmore.com
• https://www.tripforyou.net

Так, когда заказ идёт через supersaver.ru, то помогает поискать свою бронь по его номеру брони на первом и втором сайте из списка. Если вы покупаете в долларах, также рекомендую попробовать expedia.com, места в нём можно забронировать сразу, даже на Аэрофлот!

Network Folders work slow in Windows 7

These steps helped in my case.

1. Rename registry folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace to something else, like -NameSpace.
2. Run netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled.
3. Restart.

Can't read 32 Gb SD Card with Ricoh Reader on Lenovo ThinkPad W520, T430s, and others

I had lots of trials and errors with this, but here is the solution for Windows 7 x64. Please do all the experiments with clean SD-card, or you might loose your data on it! Just believe, if you fail at one of the steps, then you'll loose your data.

1. Google for Ricoh_Card_Reader_2.25.17.01, install and reboot. Official Lenovo's http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS028931 simply don't fit, and even drivers for T431s http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS034692 won't fit, they are 2.14 only, very obsolete.
2. After insertion of your SD-card, go to Device Manager, locate your "Disk drive" and set "Better performance" instead of "Quick removal". Otherwise you will have terrible lags and fails while opening the card. If you still have lags, try deactivating your security software, especially Microsoft Security Essentials.
3. Also check that you have "Integrated Smart Card Reader" in "Smart card readers" , but not some default device. If not, please update the corresponding driver online just from Device Manager. Otherwise you may find your data on the SD-card damaged!
