JetBrains, the maker of the most intelligent and versatile IDEs (IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, and others), has recognised my humble contribution to open-source software in the form of the Sound Switcher Indicator, and kindly granted me a free All Products Pack license.
The source code for yktoo.com 3.0 is stable enough to be open for general public, which is something I was going to do from the beginning.
You can now view it on GitHub.
Recently I’ve come across a couple of USB cables of Chinese origin (what else).
Cables that are a real innovation in my view. Carrying just regular USB Type A or Micro USB connectors, they can be plugged in both ways!
Update: the new version of the website is now live; all comments have been retained and copied over from the old version.

A new version of yktoo.com will go live on Monday August 19, 2019. Not so much has changed in the looks of the site, but inside it’s totally different.
In this regard its RSS feed links will change:

Anyone who has been in the software development business for a while, is certainly familiar with the hassle of arranging, keeping track of, pulling, committing etc. of dozens of local Git repositories being used or developed.
On this same day, precisely two years ago—July 13, 2017—I’ve rolled my mouse pointer over a very beautiful photo of a girl and clicked on Like.
It’s time to fulfil my promise, so please meet Sound Switcher Indicator version 2.2.0.
Tjongejonge, this year ended as suddenly as it began, I couldn’t even find time to blog. This post is the tenth and the last one in 2018 (but I’m seriously considering improving on that matter).
