Computer fixing - 101

Every now and then a developer needs to change his system to a clean installation. Honestly said for most of us our computers are just like your high-school chemistry assignments, where disregarding all the rules you just mix everything until a chemical reaction starts to stir. Hopefully without any explosions.

In my case I just freshly installed to windows 10 on my solid state drive. One problem after reinstalling the folder path of my username is auto-generated with a rather cryptic scheme. Quickly followed some tutorials. Renamed the folder path in HKLM/CurrentVersion/Microsoft/Windows/ProfileList.... and after this the windows store starts to malfunction.

Even worse, it makes deploying (universal-)apps from Visual Studio also impossible. The solution is always more trivial. To fix the problem all I had to do was go to my user settings, and click the link "Sign in with a local account instead".




This will proceed with a number of questions that changes the account name. After that I simply reversed it again and switched the local account to microsoft account and voila no more errors.

Travel equipment 101

If you travel frequently it can be an advantage to get some good equipment, but also a very important thing to look into is a continuous travelers insurance. Travel insurance can come in various shapes and sizes. My personal one is with my bank, which covers about 2000-3000 euro in equipment, and I have some options for healthcare, flight cancellation. But it's also very useful to invest in some actual travel equipment. Personally when I started traveling frequently I looked into getting a RFID Proof wallet and I got this organization pack for my suitcase   This is a tremendous help in letting me organize everything tidy because when I open my suitcase otherwise everything falls out like chaos. Another thing I never leave without is my solar powerbank on long flights back and forth to Asia.
