LifeBlog and GeekBlog,. Apple / ATI aint much different than Dell / Nvidia. January 19, 2015. Eventually the usual things happened, the batteries burnt out (replaced), a hard drive failed (replaced), and finally the nvidia chipset burnt out (replaced). It turns out those chipsets after a while struggled with the heat and the connections would degrade. Https:/ discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?

LifeBlog and GeekBlog,. PDF Forms with image fields and Acrobat Reader. December 22, 2014. Recently a client wanted to use a PDF form on their site to allow their clients to submit applications. As part of the application it was essential for the end user to be able to include a photo on the form. This was more of a headache than originally intended. Cue much hair tearing (and googling). So the solution is. In livecycle set the button as type “Submit”. Set the Submit Format as PDF. Now when we click subm...

LifeBlog and GeekBlog,. June 28, 2015. My friends and I play a lot of Magic the Gathering but our two biggest difficulties are. We don’t always get out the house. And its dammed expensive. I’ve been looking into other ways to play, and despite having an official Magic Online client this only solves one of the issues (it’s just as dammed expensive). There’s a few good pieces of software I have found useful. Deck Building : Magic Album. Http:/ www.slightlymagic.net/wiki/Magic Album. Run it and load the MtG...

I could re-enable them, but within ten seconds they would locked out again. The speed of this put a machine as the prime suspect, since its doubtful a user would rack up enough fails so quickly, but how to find the culprit. You’ll need to restart the Netlogin service so. Wherever you install this to you can then run Nlparse.

LifeBlog and GeekBlog,. June 18, 2015. UTF8 seems to be the bee’s knees of text encoding, but when your source comes in all different flavours, how do we deal with this? Step One : LogParser.

Normally if I see something exciting I’ll just throw a few dollars into the basic tier donation. Unfortunately, they don’t always go this way. At work we fancied a go of this (having previously been a bit disappointed in the leap motion. On Oct 17 I tweeted. 8220;Don’t worry! Some t...
