    This should have been a easy setup but since I ran into a few problems that weren't simple nor obvious I thought I would share and record my notes. For much of my android development I use the ADT Bungle for Windows , I have the Android Studio Development but just playing out with it. Regardless the problem with my setup was my Nexus 7 not appearing. At this point I had already gotten the debugger mode enabled and the usb connected but still 'adb' is not seeing my device.      Simply put the Nexus 7 by default (for me at least) was set to MTP and if you can see the connection mode notification can change it from there to PTP. The notification for me appeared briefly, so what I did was have the notification bar open as I plugged in my nexus. Notification will appear below USB debug Unchecked MTP and Check PTP The first link you below holds the location where to install drivers for your windows setup which you might need to know for when you switch from

    Recently I was playing Penguins Rising on my nexus 7 and notice that the background music wasn't playing but strangely all the other sounds were. After a hard look at the code, I found no reason for the audio not to be work. So I could tell right away this wasn't going to be an easy fix. The first thing I did was check the support to see if   the HTML5 audio element  had any support issues. Since the support for the audio element seemed to be alright with what I was using, the next thing I thought was that it must be the attribute  autoplay . Its important to note that I am also using the loop attribute but I will return to that later. Example from Penguins Rising < audio autoplay loop > < source src = "content/ArcticWind.wav" type = "audio/wav" > < source src = "content/ArcticWind.ogg" type = "audio/ogg" > < source src = "mp3/ArcticWind.mp3" type = "audio/mpeg&qu

    The Hero Engine was actually the first Game Engine I was introduced to, and to be honest I really didn't get into it very much just because I didn't quite see the point of a license agreement. I also had wanted do things my way and  does but with all the extra lifting for you with media content for the most part. I will be skipping the installation part since for me it was very specific with files and such, and I didn't encountered any problems.    After everything has been installed I started from:  How to write a script  and then going moving my way up to writing  Your First HSL Script . In the documentation it was recommended to attempt or understand the server side script and be taken along side with the client side tutorial. However I skipped the server side tutorial since I already knew the methods behind it. So far from what I've seen and done, I consider the Hero Engine to be pretty much in the same perspective as a browser but of course with a lot more f

I want to be very clear I did not write this code but it was provided to me and I was given permission by a colleague of mine to submit it.. To respect his privacy I will not be able to provide his name but on his behalf I did submit the code to help improve the orchard project. To explain it a little bit what the purpose of this code edit, it is to filter out content that is editable but the user does not have the permissions to create them. Normal what Orchard would do is display all creatable content and if a user clicks on a particular content type that is restricted it simply replies to the user that they do not have access to it. However with a lot of CMS projects I have developed it is sometimes better to simply hide what the user can not or should not be able to do. Less questions come up and even less problems are seen from the user's perspective. This is what I consider to be a best practice to provide the user with a good experience. The Location : \ orchard

    I love making Ajax calls and if a user is interacting with a page and doesn't need to refresh or be redirected to another page than an Ajax call is the best thing to use in my opinion. With my best efforts I try to give my users an experience where every action has a result. This means everything even if the reaction is simple or does nothing more than alert the user. I like to let the user know that all is fine and meant to be the way it is. If an error happens they should be alerted as well. Which I should also try to prevent and recover from, but what about with an ajax call that takes a while to process? Well I have been using a really cool process with my code where I can display to my users that the process is going through. With "Please wait..." message users can see it is order is being processed and controls will returned to them when it has completed.     You can see an example here  and to go a step further then this I thought this would be a cool place t

    This article is to share what I think is the easiest and fastest way to recover delete blog post on blogger. Which I really needed to know for myself with one of my previous articles First off do not delete your browser history! If you have you will not be able to do it the way I'm about to explain but hopefully can still try other means defined in the resources. I also believe you can't have it be a post that you published but I did not confirm this. Thankfully the actual data isn't deleted and lucky for us it's just hiding on the servers waiting for us to find it. In Chrome     I could show you how to do this in every browser but the concept is very much the same in all of them, we are just trying to go back to the specific view where we can edit the post. If you're like me and jump around a lot between drafts you'll have a lot to search through. Still this is better than completely starting over. URL Example : ~/blogger.g?blogID= yourId #editor/targ

    I after using Fiddler for a few years now, I wanted to jot some notes down for myself so I don't forget. I really like using fiddler and most of the time I prefer using it over the developer tools inside chrome just because I can use it across different browsers at the same time. This Saves me a lot hassle in opening the developer tool everytime but you might ask what is fiddler? "Its a web Proxy", where you can debug traffic calls, test the network performance and tons more stuff.  Fiddler is a .net application and will not run on other platforms however you can point clients to a host machine that is able to run fiddler and debug from there. Notes Traffic Import- Seeing a client's web experience. FiddlerCap  - lightweight version of fiddler more for client users, to allow you to see specific http request and responses even if you not on that network. Example problems that you can use this for: DNS corruption Poison DNS or other known as DNS spoofin
