Wow along night…. I’ve been working on this crazy like!

Wow a long day, and I still need to throw some laundry in. I’ve decided on my next project, and unlike most I don’t want this one to be vapor ware. I’ve finally found a good rhythm with work, and my desire to code outside of it, as long as I get projects that interest me.

Today’s development on broadcatchR is going well. Thanks Josh for the name! Hopefully he gets time to work on this project. Right now I am currently working on getting a XMLTV feed going. Yes, that is right if anyone on the Internets stumbled across this I am working on getting some sort of XMLTV feed going. It maybe free to the Internets, but it maybe select cities.

I am currently working out the details. This will take some time, but I do have something rough working, and I hope to have the Twin Cities, programming guides for the next few weeks available at b3studios, through broadcatchR.

broadcatchR.com carries my latest blog post about broadcatchR related news, let me know what you think about the cross post? I’m lazy.

Welcome to broadcatchR!

This is the first post for my new project, broadcatchR.com Please check in for more on this project soon! I will have it live and going while I develop it. You can read the blog postings on http://www.b3studios.com/derek!

Remote Desktop Connection, Mac/Windows Citrix ICA Client, Or NESTED Terminal Clients, Shift Key or Caps Lock not recognized?

If you are like me, your a mac lover/user, and you live in a Windows world. By day I am a mild mannered Windows .Net Developer. By night, I dive into the underbelly of objective-c and cocoa.

When away from the office I have a need to use Windows Apps. What better way then with Remote Desktop Connection. But because I want to be able to use RDC on all my clients machines as well, why not use it through Citrix!

All was going great, when I was using this, until I tried to use a SHIFT key on OSX, through Citrix using Remote Desktop Connection.

Sometimes it would be recognized, most often not… The solution? When the RDC selection for your connection pops up, hit the Options Button. Then find the click the “Local Resources Tab”, then head down to the Keyboard Section. For the ALT+Tab, select “On the Local Computer”, log in and now the much needed Shift, and Caps Lock keys will work as desired Happy puting.

note: this will stop the ATL+Tab function from working to switch between windows. But it will stop the irritation, of not being able to properly case your words.
