Switch to full screen on Remote Desktop

Ever so often, the default rdp gets set with a certain size which effectively takes away the full screen mode for the session. My earlier approach was to disconnect from the RDP session, and use the options tab to select full screen or the /f mode in mstsc to reconnect in full screen mode again.

I just found that you dont need to disconnect and reconnect. You can switch back to full screen mode in your existing RDP session with the simple (ok, its 3 keys) keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-Alt-Break.

Back to blogging times after a few months. I feel I shouldnt keep waiting to write that nice big blog post, and should document all these points, however tiny they seem now.

Remove a label from all posts

I initially had tagged most of my posts here as Technical. But decided to remove it later on, as this is the "Tech" Thirst Day blog-site. I didnt want to remove the label individually from each post. So, here's a way to do that more easily.

Blog Name

I initially thought about this blog-site as WILT, with this in the description.

An honest attempt to capture "What I Learned Today". The acronym WILT is an attempt to be sarcastic about the ironical pun on the word of wilt, which means to lose strength, such as used in "to wilt after a day's hard work". Of course, the intent is quite the opposite - to provide energy in the form of knowledge.

But since the sub-domain name wilt was already being used in blogspot, I used wilth instead, with the h being for honestly.

Then, I turned to look for LRKG (Lambi Race Ka Ghoda). But, it seemed that sub-domain name was taken up as well. So, I used 1100010010 for a while.

And now, I have turned to techthirstday. Until last year, our team used to meet every Thursday, to discuss what we have learnt recently. And I thought I could use the same name for this. Sounds nice. :)
