Shutdown your mac with the keyboard

S

With my Windows computer I could control the power button action.

I was a bit disappointed that you cannot control this action on a Mac. But now I found out that there is a keyboard shortcut to instantly shutdown your mac.

CMD + alt + ctrl + Power button

I know it is a horrible shortcut, but it works!!

WordPress mail with Gmail

At some point you would like your wordpress website to be able to send email. You’ll need it for:

  • Password recovery
  • New User notifications
  • Contact forms

Homescreen application

It is quitte easy to create a mobile website. With these tweaks it will look even more like a real application.

You’ll just have to append some items to the html source code.
