Swype rules on HTC Aria

escher — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:40:47 +0000

1) Get the swype APK. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6815819

2) Install HTC Sync. http://www.mythicblue.com/htc/HTCSync3.0.5372.zip

3) Reboot PC.
4) Start HTC Sync.
5) Connect phone with USB cable
6) select HTC Sync.

7) When its connected select Install Application, and browse to the APK.

Alternatively If it never connects (Adobe AIR and HTC Sync sucks) you can
1) Mount the Aria as a Disk Drive.
2) Enable USB Debugging on the Aria
(Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging)

And then use this http://forum.androidcentral.com/android-applications/23940-android-central-sideload-wonder-machine.html

If you dont have or want to install .NET, you can run adb manually. just look at loader.bat from the wonder machine download

MySQL ODBC Connector / Driver Fix

escher — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 19:56:35 +0000

Apparently there is an issue with FileMaker installations. Filemaker ends up borking the Windows Registry so that later installed ODBC Drivers don’t load. This means when you install the MySQL ODBC Connector/Driver, it will not show up in the ODBC Driver list.

The issue is caused by a misplaced (default) registry value. The easiest way to fix it is to delete the default value, as it does not need to be set. Other’s have suggested exporting the whole key, to a .reg then deleting the key, removing the @=”" from the backed up registry file, and then re-installing the key.

or you can just run the following .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers]
@=-

I Love SciTE

escher — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 20:54:43 +0000

Seriously… I’ve been using it for a few years now, and it has completely replaced TextPad as my editor of choice, which previously replaced the behemoth which is now UltraEdit. It does everything that i need, and a couple javascripts add any functionality i need that’s not already implemented. Most importantly it’s ultra light weight, and fast. There are also other scintilla based text editors. Other people recommend NotePad++ and Programmers Notepad 2, but i prefer the bare bones SciTE.

behold!!!!

Nabil Elderkin

I really like this guys videos. It looks like he relies heavily on after effects, and makes the effects the central part of the video. Kind of a throwback to the 80′s but with more modern computer generated effects. My only real criticism is on both artists and their heavy reliance on auto tune. But then again, aside from Nelly Furtdado, I can’t think of too many artists who don’t use auto-tune.

HR Tag Height doesn’t render consistently

escher — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 03:22:49 +0000

CSS can be so frustrating sometimes! Took me forever to hunt down some hidden spacing in my divs, was a result of IE overriding my specified

height. Once i figured out IE and my tag was the culprit a quick google search gave me a couple solutions.

IE doesn’t seem to allow

elements to be sized smaller than the font size. Nothing I tried worked, so now i just use a bottom or top border of 1px on my divs. This was suggested to have the most cross browser consistency. I’ve sworn them (hr tags) off altogether.

Totally off-topic, but this commercial cracks me up. I laugh _every_ time i see it.

Panasonic SD Card Formatter

escher — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 23:32:06 +0000

Apparently Windows doesn’t format SD cards to spec, which may cause problems with some MP3 Players or Cameras. Panasonic published their own formatting program.
