OS X: Remove delay of the Dock
1
Mit folgendem Befehl im Terminal.app lässt sich die kurze Verzögerung entfernen, bevor das ausgeblendete Dock angezeigt wird (sofern man es natürlich standardmässig ausgeblendet hat):
defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 0 && killall Dock
Vor allem in den Fullscreen Apps in OS X Lion erscheint danach das Dock auch umgehend… ich persönlich hatte da schon Probleme, dass es wilde Mausgesten benötigte, bis es endlich eingeblendet wurde.
Verhalten rückgängig machen über den Terminal Befehl:
defaults delete com.apple.Dock autohide-delay && killall Dock

Getting myself into a Christmas mood
Here are a few things that I totally need in order to be in a perfect christmas mood:
There must be snow!
- Walking in the snow (best at night when it is snowing)
- Eating Swiss Fondue/Raclette in a cosy hut (walking there through the snow )
- Drinking “Glühwein” (mulled wine) outside in the cold, snowy streets
- Visiting Swiss mountain towns where there is lots of snow (Davos, Klosters, Saas Fee, Bergün, Brigels/Laax/Flims, Appenzell, etc.)
- Going skiing or sledging in the Swiss mountains

Hiking in Switzerland… and more
If you want to go hiking, biking, skating or even kayaking in Switzerland, I can definitely recommend the amazing map and trip planning website Wanderland.ch (find the interactive map @ map.wanderland.ch)!
The map and trails are free to view. Unfortunately you do have to register for 30 Swiss Francs per year in order to have access to the planning tool for highlighting & saving your desired tracks, and get additional information like altitude, distance and time to walk/bike of a tour – but it’s absolutely worth it! When registered, you can even share your tracks with friends, so they can see where the tour will go and print the map.
Just want to share this, because I “fell in love” with it today 
And at this point I also want to share with you the following beautifully created map, found on gaebris.ch, which shows an unusual view on the whole eastern part of Switzerland with it’s most prominent cities and mountains:

Some friends and me decided to go on a bit more challenging hike than usual – starting in Wasserauen AI we walked up to the Meglisalp (basically a small town on the mountain behind the Säntis peak, eastern Switzerland’s highest … Continue reading
