Windows Vista: Require users to press Ctrl+alt+del to login | Comments (4)

Just a note for myself as I’m bound to forget this it’s very hidden away.

Go to start type “netplwiz” in the search. Click the advanced tab and tick “Require users to press Ctrl+alt+delete”

OK you have my curiosity piqued with your enigmatic personal note. Why force that, and when force that?

@Matt: No big reason. Mainly for the security of desktops used for testing.

Using Loggerhead with mod_wsgi|(0)

Here’s a post I wrote over on the Project Fondue Blog about our use of Loggerhead with mod_wsgi under Apache. Loggerhead is the rather nice branch viewer for bazaar branches as used on Launchpad.net.

If you’re not already subscribed to the Project Fondue blog feed then I can recommend it, as there should be some interesting posts coming out of there in the coming months (yes I’m unashamedly biased!).

Ubuntu: Turn off changing workspace with mouse wheel|(1)

I found the changing with the workspace with the mouse wheel really annoying. To disable it go to System => Preferences => CompizConfig (available if the compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed) and uncheck “Viewport Switcher” which is under the “Desktop” heading.
