It could have been worse, in that my order could not have arrived. It did arrive, although almost 1 month late and after I spent hours of my time on the phone with Digital River customer support (and many email threads). Feb 10th, 2014 I pre-ordered Final Fantasy 13-3 Lightning Returns from the Square Enix online store, which is powered by Digital River. I had already heard of how bad Digital River can be due to their complete screw-up of the Ni No Kuni Collectors Edition. However, since that had happened about 1 year prior, I thought that they may have already fixed their problems. ...

Seems like jQuery UI got rid of maintaining state with the latest implementation. Before, it pretty simple to keep state across page loads with jQuery tabs. This is one possible way to do it with the new code.  Its still pretty easy, just a little different. $("#tabs").tabs({ activate: function (e, ui) { $.cookie('selected-tab', ui.newTab.index(), { path: '/' }); }, active: $.cookie('selected-tab') });

Requires 20GB of free space to upgradeIf CScript was registered as the default script host in Windows 7, it will be replaced by WScript. To fix this, run CMD with administrative privileges, and execute the following command: cscript //h:cscript //sNetwork printer settings were lost. Had to reattach printer.IIS7 settings were lost. Virtual directories/applications were gone. Also, installed features were missing. I had to reinstall the server side includes feature using control panel, and I needed to redo the handler mappings in IIS so that they were processed by the module.

For a while now, I had an issue with the ATEN KVM switch (dual-DVI) when switching between my Windows and Mac systems. One of the monitors would almost always not be detected after switching. Sometimes this also happened after restarting my computer. The solution would be to turn off the PC and restart, and I would keep my fingers crossed that the second monitor would now be detected. What I should have done is checked the ATEN website. They have a firmware upgrade for my particular switch. The only problem I had with the upgrade was finding a system with a serial port (I still don’t understand why ATEN would build a dual DVI KVM swicth with an upgrade cable that only connects to a serial port). After finding a Thinkpad notebook with a P3 inside and Windows 98 (it stil worked!), I did the upgrade.  Since the upgrade, I have not had the issue come up again.

I received the following error when trying to publish to Android and iOS from Flash CS6 (Air 3.2): Application Descriptor File Cannot be Parsed Searching for a fix yielded that my file is probably invalid, but this is not the case as I can run this project just file from another computer. Turns out that this problem came up because I was running my FLA out of a network location (i.e, \\Server\path\). Mapping the network drive to an actual drive letter fixed the problem.

I just got a Nexus 7 and it pretty much is inferior to an iPad in every sense expect for when watching TV. It would actually make a pretty good remote, assuming there was some decent software to use (I’m currently using TouchSquid, which is pretty crappy, imo). This got me thinking… supposedly Apple is making a bunch of displays that are about 7”. All the rumors seem to point to a iPad-mini or iPod Touch-maxi, but it would be pretty neat if it was actually a iMote or IRemote or iControl. Supposedly Steve Jobs said he figured out a way to control TV… ...

This is a note to self: Flash generates TCMText when a TLFTextField does not have an instance name. Flash Source: http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/frameworks/

We recently got the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription at work, and I wanted to check out their web hosting plan – one of the features is hosting for up to five websites. Step 1: Creating a Website I’ve never hosted a website with Adobe (or, more specifically, Business Catalyst), so I wasn’t sure where to start.  I looked around the website, and eventually found that there are three ways to create a website: ...

The Samsung Focus appears to have a bug where if the battery is completely dead (as in, once its dead for a day, leave it in there for another week until it is completely discharged), the phone cannot charge the battery. I have been able to charge the battery by taking it out of the Focus and putting it in other Galaxy-class phones, which do not have this bug. Once the battery was charged up a bit, I was then able to power up the Focus and finish charging the battery. ...

For the past few days, I haven’t been able to use the voice to text feature when searching on my Samsung Focus.  It seems like Microsoft knows about the issue, but I hope this gets resolved soon.   There is a thread about it already on Microsoft Answers.
