I have updated my Trello classic label colours CSS hack using the Stylish extension for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
You can find the updates on my GitHub:
https://github.com/garethjmsaunders/trello-label-colours
I have removed this style from Userstyles.org as it was throwing unknown errors or claiming that the CSS had an error every time I tried to upload changes.
I’ve written a Stylish CSS script that restores the classic Trello label colours after they were recently updated to a colour palette that genuinely makes me feel miserable looking at them.
You can use this example Trello board with all the labels to test if the Stylish script is working for you.

For the last few weeks, I’ve been getting a daily email from Microsoft Defender telling me about a threat it had found on my desktop PC.
Only, I’d already deleted the offending files manually, but Defender got stuck—thinking they were still there, but unable to find them to remove them.
Here’s how I eventually fixed it.

One of the features of the latest Windows 10 April 2018 update that I’ve been most looking forward to is Timeline.
Unfortunately, Timeline hasn’t worked for me since the upgrade. But today I fixed it.
Timeline lets you see a list of all the documents and applications (that support Timeline) going back about a month. The idea is that this feature should make it easier to find documents you’ve been working on.
The problem I had was that after the upgrade (which only took about 30 minutes) it didn’t work. All I saw was a list of the virtual desktops I had (which is usually two), the currently open applications, and then a message saying that I needed to use my PC more before timeline would start showing me results.
This is the combination of things that I did to fix it.
Note that my user account is a Microsoft account, not a local PC account.
The first thing was to make sure Windows was collecting my activities.
I next checked that the following Windows Registry settings were present in the following registry location:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System
EnableActivityFeedPublishUserActivitiesUploadUserActivitiesMake sure these are all DWORD 32-bit Value entries set to 1.
To start RegEdit press Win + R and type regedit and click OK.
Some people have recommended that at this point you should restart your PC to let these settings take effect. Note, not just restart but switch off, wait a few seconds and then switch it back on.
That didn’t work for me.
It wasn’t until I did the following that Windows suddenly started the Timeline feature. I’m not sure why but this, in combination with the steps above, got it started.
I offer this in the hope that it may help someone in a similar situation to mine. Good luck!
At work yesterday I discovered that the localhost Apache web server on my PC wouldn’t start; it was running XAMPP.
Each time I tried to start Apache from the XAMPP control panel I got these error messages in the console:
08:59:34 [Apache] Attempting to start Apache app…

Reinstalling XAMPP didn’t fix the issue. But this did, spotted on the ever-wonderful Stackoverflow:
That fixed it. Now Apache is running, as evidenced by the green light on the XAMPP control panel:
