How to set custom altitude value on the Casio SGW 100HD-1AV watch

Image
Other than giving the readings of your current altitude and temperature in the Altimeter mode, you can set your own altitude value. This is a way where you can use it to set it to zero for referencing the height of a climb or as a re-calibration of the altitude reading. Go into the Altimeter mode. Hold the " Adjust " button until the current altitude value start to flash. Use the " Light " ( decrease ) and " Alti " ( increase ) buttons to adjust the reference value. Press the " Adjust " button to apply the altitude reference value. Note: to reset the altitude value to factory value, just simply press both the Light and Alti buttons simultaneously. You will see the off message that indicates the custom value has been reset to factory value. References or Credits: http://ftp.casio.co.jp/pub/world_manual/wat/en/qw3202.pdf

How to enable copy and paste between Windows machine and vncviewer viewing a Linux vnc session

Image
Ever wonder why you can't copy and paste from and to vncviewer that is viewing a vnc session from a Linux machine? It's likely that the vncconfig program is not running to handle your clipboard transfer. If you are seeing that you are unable to copy and paste from your vncviewer, run this command at the Linux machine command line window through your vncviewer that is viewing your Linux vnc session: vncconfig & If you want to run this command in the background without the little window with the settings appearing, use this command instead: vncconfig -nowin & Once vncconfig is running, close your vncviewer and reconnect it again.
