I was trying to do some application testing on my Nexus 7 and couldn’t find the Developer Options under the Settings menu. After doing some digging on the internet, I found a way to show the Developer Options menu.
1) Go into Settings, then About Tablet (or About Phone).
2) Locate Build number and start tapping on it with your finger. You’ll see the message “You are now X steps away from becoming developer”.
3) Keep on tapping it until you see “You are now a developer”.
4) Go back into Settings and you’ll now see the Developer Options you know and love.

I recently put a new hard drive in my Macbook and decided I’d finally go the dual boot route. Got everything setup fairly smoothly following the instructions provided by Boot Camp and am now using Snow Leopard and Windows XP. Snow Leopard worked fine, just like it did on the old hard drive, though XP was another story.
Issue #1 - Out of disk space
When trying to install XP Service Pack 3, I would get the error “Out of disk space”, when I had 150GB worth of free space on my Windows partition. I also experienced other applications giving similar out of disk space errors.Fix:
1) Click Start -> Run or push Command+R.
2) Type “regedit”, then push OK.
3) Locate and click on the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
4) Click Edit -> View -> String Value and type in “BootDir” for the name.
5) Right click on BootDir and then click Modify.
6) Type “C:\" in the Value data field, then push OK.
7) Reboot. After Windows starts back up, you should be able to install SP3 and other applications giving out of disk space errors.
Issue #2 - League of Legends fails to launch
After a fresh install of League of Legends, upon launching I got the error “This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem.”
Fix:
1) Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express.

I don’t know the science behind why this fixes the issue, but it worked, so I won’t complain =p.
Hope this helps others that run into similar errors.

Among all my endeavors to boost the signal strength of my phone while at work, only one method actually panned out with varied results.
Though this method is a little off the wall, it actual worked for me. Get yourself a glass dinner cup and put your phone in the cup! Wait about 30 seconds and you may or may not see your signal increase by 1-2 bars. MAGIC!
I did some other testing as well. For iPhone users, there is a method to put your phone into “Field test mode”. This allows you to see all sorts of data, but what I was after was a numeric value for signal strength vs the bars (cause I think the bars lie sometimes).
To go into Field test mode, open the Phone app and dial *3001#12345#*. This is what the signal strength numbers represent:
-100 to -120 = Horrible signal.
-95 to -100 = Ok for phone calls, but slow or no data.
-60 to -90 = Good signal.
Here are the results of my test while in Field test mode:
1) Signal strength while at my desk, no cup, -110.
2) Signal strength at my desk while in the cup, -89! Much better.
In a few cases, the cup didn’t yield any results better than when out of the cup. However, I’ve used this method while on road trips, and in the basement of a cement office complex with successful results. As far as practical uses, this isn’t a great solution for talking on the phone… But if you’re waiting for a text, or needing a little bit of tethering power, this does the job!
I’ve tested the following devices with success: AT&T iPhone 4, Nextel Motorola i580, and Nextel Blackberry 8350i.

Google has a pretty epic April Fools joke out there, Google Maps 8-Bit version!
This new age NES cartridge comes with a dial-up modem built into the top so you can connect to Googles servers!
The title screen seem to be a spoof of Dragon Quest =D.
Here is Googles video on the product:
You can play a live beta of it (for now) by going to Google Maps and clicking the Quest button in the upper right hand corner!

This game was purchased for my by one of my Minecraft buddies (Thanks Mike_Cro). I’ll be honest, if I had started playing this before Minecraft I would have likely favored it more and gave it more of a chance.
I promised my friends I’d at least play it one time if they played some League of Legends with me =p.
So here it is! My first and last time playing Terraria with Green Giant and Blue.

Ran across some old WoW videos from 2006 where I hosted a guild tournament in the Dire Maul arena. Not sure why, but I was also sporting some random Katamari Damacy music in the background from time to time lol.
Team Glaim won the tournament!

I had several players notify me that my Minecraft forums were causing their virus scanners to throw a fit. Turns out that Dreamhost sites using php (namely WordPress sites) were massed attacked, injecting malicious code that redirected you to sites that downloaded a Fake Antivirus. If you haven’t run across one of those yet, they are evil little buggers and sometimes very hard to remove.
Here is a screenshot of what one looks like:
My sites were redirecting to ayo39rew.rr.nu/pmg.php?d=x and ippo66npipe.rr.nu/pmg.php?d=x. Though reading around the net, there are 100’s of other *.rr.nu sites as well.
Thank the light we have a savior, Walker de Alencar! This good man has written a clean up script to clean all your php files that were infected called rrnuVaccine. You can get the latest version of it from here: https://github.com/walkeralencar/rrnuVaccine
Drop that bad boy in the root of your site or domain and let it rip! I have four websites using php, and the rrnuVaccine cleaned 1486 infected files! 1486!! I know it won’t happen, but I hope the bastards that infected my sites go to Federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.
From what I’ve read, some folks have had the infection reoccur. I don’t know if something isn’t getting cleaned or if the malware is being reinjected across Dreamhost again. I’ll make sure to post updates here if I find out more on the situation. For now, my sites are clean and back to a normal state =).

Been doing a little more work on Code of Avalon. Had been researching how I wanted my data to be sent/received vs just dealing with raw data. After some reading and talking to my IRC buddies I settled on JSON.
What is JSON?
From JSON.org: JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate.
And that’s exactly why I chose it! I needed something that was easy to generate and parse. As an example, say I want to update a players X,Y position. My client would send the server something like this:{“packetType”: “moveUpdate”, “X”: 100, “Y”: 31}.
The server reads the packetType, and based on that decides what to do with the data. Other examples would be a login request, updating stats, killing a monster, selling an item, etc =).
Excited to make a little movement on this project after letting it sit for a while.
