Windows Phone 7 Emulator: Shortcut keys

While using the Windows Phone 7 emulator, I was really annoyed that I had to use the on screen keyboard to enter some values. Until a colleague of me mentioned that if you push Page Up on your keyboard, you can just start typing. What a shame that I didn’t know this sooner. So for anyone who is using the WP7 emulator, these are some of the most useful shortcut keys available:

  • F1 : Use F1 key on the keyboard instead of back button on the phone
  • F2 : Use the key F2 on the keyboard for the Windows key in the Windows Phone 7
  • Pageup : Enables the keyboard in the emulator when the focus is on the textbox
  • PageDown : Disables the keyboard in the emulator
  • F3 : To open the Bing Search
  • F7 : To Activate the Physical Camera

For the full list of all shortcuts, have a look at the following MSDN page: Keyboard Mapping for Windows Phone Emulator.

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...
