• Turn on Developer Mode and Debugging Tools
• Install Android SDK on your computer
• Plug in phone and open the command prompt and type:
• More ADB info
  

  PATH-TO\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb.exe push PATH-TO\FILE.zip /mnt/sdcard/

• This usually takes a second.  I would first try transferring a small file to make sure you have the correct path.

Note: The ‘/mnt/sdcard’ may be specific to my device.  If you can’t seem to find a writable folder do this:

PATH-TO\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb.exe shell

then, using ls and cd commands, you can move around and try and find the path to your writable directory.

Hope this helps someone!

I thought I should write up a quick tutorial on ways for kids (or grown ups) to code while:

• Having fun
• Creating
• Learning
• Sharing their work
• Building off of each others work

My tutorial utilizes two technologies:

jsfiddle : This web platform allows you to program in javascript and see your results.  You can share and build off existing code.

Processingjs.org : This javascript library allows you to cool stuff like: this, this, or this.  It is a powerful library that has great documentation.

So, here are my basic first instructions:

processing.background(224);

processing.background(255,0,0);

So, I think you could learn a whole lot from these two things combined.

Hope this helps!

• Being able to tether through USB and Wifi for free
• Using the volume keys to skip tracks
• Getting all the up-to-date features of android without worrying about Sprint releasing it for my phone
• Other new android features

I set mine up: wordpress and rails

I thought I would call and post what they said since I I couldn’t find the store hours for Fantastic Thrift anywhere online.

Roasted Winter Squash

Recipe:

• Winter Squash, or really anything gourd-like.

The spread on top contains:

• Some of the squash seeds
• Sage
• Something spicy, i used jalapeno, but you can use anything with kick, or don’t.
• Cinnamon
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• A little oil (olive)

Instruction:
Cut and place squash on cooking sheet, cut/grind up the remaining ingredients, add oil. rub on top.
Cover with tin-foil to prevent burning.
Cook for ~20 min.
Uncover and cook till golden brown/not burnt. (~10)

Bonus tip: throw in the rest of the seeds to cook them too.  They are a good snack.

This is how you setup a free home security webcam using dorgem and winscp.exe.

First Download:

• Download WinSCP and install it.http://winscp.net/
• Download Dorgem and install it. http://dorgem.sourceforge.net/

Next Configure Dorgem:
Most people are going to want to use the “Web Server” option. This will setup a webserver with your webcam on it…. Pretty straight forward.

But, when I was looking this up, I couldn’t find anywhere that tells you how to use WinSCP. So here I go:

First Configure WinSCP

• Open WinSCP
• New
• Type in all the correct info in session
• Make sure you set a default folder under Environment->Directories->Remote Directory
• Save… and remember the name of the session
• Connect and make sure you set it to remember passwords and everything

Second Configure Dorgem:

• Open Dorgem
• Preview the source
• Click “Store Settings”
  • Add
  • External Program
  • Name it something to remember
  • Check Enable
  • Command: “C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.exe” name_of@winscp_session.com /upload %s /defaults
  • OK
• Click “Capture Now” to test it out.
• You should now see a tmp file on the WinSCP server.
• If you dont, then you might want to try changing the path to WinSCP in the command or double check the name of the stored WinSCP session in the command.
• Then, you can enable motion detection under “options” on the main screen

Hope this helps some people!

yeah.. we cool

Review over.

Don’t just sit there and be baffled by my excellent review, go buy it!!!!!!!

Also, I created a YouTube Playlist.

• Last.FM / Pandora Internet Radio – I suggest using Last.FM because it’s more social. You can see what others listen to. Here is my Last.FM
• Spinner CD Listening Party or Aol – These are AWESOME. They are a good way to listen to full CD’s before they are released.
  A good way to expand your ears.
• NPR Music – All Songs Considered – Song of the Day, Concerts, Interviews are an awesome source of new music information. Plus they are really cool and funny.
• Metacritic – Takes a bit of searching, but a great place to see what is Acclaimed.
• Best of …. Lists – It’s always good to hear what others liked last year. Chances are, you will like it too!
• Billboard - I go here when I want to find pop music. It beats listening to top 40 radio.

Then, when you find music. Buy It For Cheap On Amazon (Current Bestsellers)!

Cracked.Com Charts

There are so many completely idiotic comments on YouTube that it makes all comments and discussion pointless. Is there nothing that can be done? Someone must stop all of 12 year old boys!

Here is a funny article on Cracked.com that sums it up quite well:

Ended up not needing them. The run was nice. 2 or 3 miles.

A good woman will pick you apart

But you may be offended, and you may be afraid

First,
I watched Linus Torvald rip all the other SCM’s a new one here:

Then, I went to http://github.com/ and setup my own public git repository.
(you can make it private, if you pay. but who would want to do that? viva la open source!)

Then I setup a clone of my Darkness is Spreading Game (dis-game):
Public Clone URL: git://github.com/danfolkes/dis-game.git
Github Home Page: http://github.com/danfolkes/dis-game/tree/master

I want to thank github for making things so awesome and easy to setup. They seem to really know a lot about helping n00bs.

Taken from their homepage:

Not only is Git the new hotness, it’s a fast, efficient, distributed version control system ideal for the collaborative development of software.

GitHub is the easiest (and prettiest) way to participate in that collaboration: fork projects, send pull requests, monitor development, all with ease.

I have found this great new Gin Rummy App on the Apple ITunes Store for the iPhone or iPod Touch.

It has really good graphics and has some really good game functions. In the next few versions, it might even have multiplayer.

Made by: http://neuroticnerd.com/blog/

In the year 2920, the Golden Age of Psionics is unlocking worlds of
possibilities for humankind. The psionically gifted are recruited at
a young age to participate in the Planetary Defense Force’s psi-ops
program, where their talents are honed through
cybernetically-interactive mind games. These games can reprogram the
trainees’ subconscious minds for optimal psionic output, all in
parallel with the conscious effort toward solving the puzzle.

DARKNESS IS SPREADING

The popular puzzle game coined “Darkness Is Spreading” is a
user-friendly version of a standard P.D.F. training exercise. It has
been repackaged into a geometric format which can be understood by
normal humans, but it also contains metasensory ‘shortcuts’,
accessible through the game’s cybernetic interface, which only the
psionically gifted will be able to detect.

The P.D.F. has now made this unique game available to the public, in
an effort to more effectively scout out talented individuals. The
game can in fact be solved consistently in less than twice as many
moves as there are colors on the grid, no matter what the grid’s size.
Those who are capable of this feat are solicited for recruitment into
the P.D.F., where they will use the quantum-formatted version of the
game in the training of their psi abilities.

HOW TO PLAY

The goal of the game is to cover the grid with black tiles. The
player starts with several black tiles scattered throughout the
initial grid. Clicking a colored tile adjacent to a black tile will
eliminate it, along with any other tiles of the same color which are
connected to it. In fact, any tile connected to the black area by the
same color will be eliminated, causing the black to spread in multiple
directions.

As players carve a path through the grid, the black areas will grow,
and more colored tiles may be removed at a time. Aiming for long
chains of a single color can open up the grid at a faster pace. If
you have the ‘gift’ — along with the necessary brain implants to plug
in to the cybernetic interface, of course — you will notice even more
ways to cut your move count down… but even if you cannot compete
with the psionically adept, you can still try to beat your personal
best scores with repeated play. No two games are the same!

Prepare yourself for a challenge which may unlock talents you never
dreamed you had. Prepare to spread the Darkness.

Document Elaboration on the Core Formats

A site I created so that collaborating on Photoshop, Illustrator, GIMP, SVG files would be easier. All of those binary formats that are complicated to share and elaborate on.

I hope this is helpful to many people. Especially in the Open Source world.

Supports: PSD,AI,PDF,XCF,SVG.
