Removing a Project from TFS

     This was a question I asked myself awhile back and it comes as a surprise that TFS does not have a way to remove projects via the web. For security reasons this might make since but it is rather annoying at time as the solution I found for this was not completely obvious or well kno.

 Research
Delete a team project [TFSDeleteProject]

 What I did

    My folders location was different than what the page pointed to but I was able to get things works and from there it was a matter of figuring out what I wanted to delete (make sure your hitting the right url).

 Folder Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE
Url Example: https://repository.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection

Command
Now to delete...
TFSDeleteproject [/q] [/force] [/excludewss] [/collection:URL TeamProjectName] 

 Notes
    Now things the page does not tell you and could be useful...
Names of projects are not case sensitive. Secondly projects you delete may not necessarily
be removed from your list of "recent projects and teams" when you are viewing the default
collection page.

     Lastly make sure you are using the url of your tfs and followed by "/DefaultCollection", you will always be prompted whether to delete (y|n) might want to just use the "/q" to make things go quick if you are deleting a lot. You might want to know that if you have multiple of visual studios installed it does not matter which folder you select! It could be...

( lowest 10.0 and up)
Example1: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDEorFolder Example2: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE

    It doesn't matter just so longs at you are in IDE and can see the TFSDeleteProject.exe. You can check this if you start typing "TFSDeleteProject" and press tab. Should see the ".exe" append to your cmd prompt.

UI-Bootstrap Collapsible Sticky Footer

    I could have done this a lot of ways and ultimately I made it work with javascript modifying the class names. I also had to create multiple class names which I didn't like to much, I might come back and improve this but for now this is was I got. Also I call bootstrap+angularjs = ui-bootstrap, not sure if that's common sense but thought I should include it somewhere in my notes. Working Example: http://plnkr.co/edit/2N9ENlbw3bSvg1W9n0ch?p=preview This little css was key to prevent any kind of animation on the collapse, which would result in a scrollbar appearing on the body. A scrollbar can appear when the content's too long but not on the sticky foot duh! .no-animate { transition-duration: 0.0125s; } Research Angular-UI Bootstrap Collapse without animation - Stack Overflow http://jsfiddle.net/paulalexandru/Z2Lu5/  - Was looking at this to see if I could reuse it but I ended but just doing my own thing. Another way which I've seen Using a sticky

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532

Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article. -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!    So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.  Problems getting into Developer Mode?   Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loop where it s
