Cutting a hanging SSH connection loose

Here is something useful I learned a couple of weeks ago. To cut a hanging SSH connection loose and to free the terminal only requires the following characters/keystrokes:

[Enter]~.

However on some keyboard layouts e.g. sv/fi, the tilde needs an space so the keystrokes are:

[Enter][AltGr]~[Space].

HTTP Error 403

Occasionally, I receive the following error while trying to access a website with the built in web browser on my LG Optimus One (P500) Android Froyo even tho other applications using the network work fine:

HTTP Error 403: The service you requested is restricted

The service you requested is restricted and not available to your browser

The restriction can be based on your IP-address, hostname, browser software, time-of-day or other variables. Most likely you requested a service that was made available to a restricted subnet.

A reboot resolves the error but there is an easier and a lot faster way to fix it, put the phone into airplane/flight/offline mode and then straight back to normal mode.

Preparing for change, simple free Spotify playlist export

If the uppcomming changes to Spotify will happen I guess a lot of people, including me, wish to save their Spotify playlists.

If the only thing you need to save is artist and track name as text in a list, then it's easy:

The only thing you need is OpenOffice.org but apparently also MS Word works.

In Spotify:

1. Select one track by clicking on it.
2. Press Ctrl-a
3. Press Ctrl-c or press the right mouse button and in the popup menu select Copy HTTP Link.

In OpenOffice.org:

1. Create new empty Text Document.
2. Press Ctrl-v or press the right mouse button and in the popup menu select Paste.

Thats it.

I find this change really disappointing since the free version of Spotify has been an innovative and useful service, a radio station with commercials but where you as a listener can select the music. Spotify has been excellent way to explore old music and to find new still fairly unknown artists.
