    • RE: Some feedback from yesterday.

      The highlight should stay for a couple seconds and then go away. Are you seeing it stay longer?
      That was the main reason for me not being able to find it, it went a way to quick for me to catch the colour.

      Any suggestions on what colour we should make the highlight?

      @Antu you found it! Been looking for that since Jojo and jelly complained about it. I’ll change it ASAP.

    • RE: Fitness General

      Do any of you take any multivitamins?

      I have been feeling really tired, bored, kinda depressed for a long time now. Tried exercise for a couple weeks to see if I get the “Immediate” effects but I didn’t really feel the extra energy and alertness you are supposed to get from exercise.
      I tried eating correctly, no shitty food but i still felt tired and groggy all day.

      I decided to try some multivitamins with Iron on Monday. I took one Monday and felt tired like i usually do all day. The next day I felt so good. I wasn’t tired in the morning. I wasn’t tired after lunch. I didn’t even have a nap after work. I managed to stay awake all day with no groggy, tired, depressed feelings.

      I thought it could have been a thyroid issue but now I think it might just be an Iron or other vitamin deficiency.

      Also, those “complaints” about the tiles? That is just a theme. Anything can be done with NodeBB - https://community.nodebb.org/topic/2066/nodebb-theme-classic-classic-theme-for-nodebb/

      Classic theme for those of you who dont like anything different.

    • RE: Some feedback from yesterday.

      @Lyeta you say simple but it still has to be coded. It is one of the most requested updates over at the NodeBB community forums. I expect to see them in the 0.5.x update that shouldn’t be too far away. You have to remember that the Dev team for NodeBB is 3 people. Things will take a little while but they will come.

      You can contribute by adding sub category functions to their code, it is open source ;)

      Sub categories are not available on this version of NodeBB. If they were then i would probably consider it.

    • Some feedback from yesterday.

      @1UP and @thedaftdev were complaining that there is not enough appropriate sections for the threads they want to post.

      Does anyone else think this?

      They wanted a section for programming. Instead of just a general Computing section. Personally I do not think there are enough separate topics to create another category. Empty categories make forums look bad.

      What do you think?

      More members? Yeah more members would be nice but we do not have anything goes unique to give to people. But it’s not that important. Bitbangers was created so a few friends could hang out, chat and post threads about their projects. Not to get members and grow. If people decide to register and join in, then that is a bonus.

      More content? We are slowly adding more content. @schamper mentioned documenting his work programme and @Almost is starting a new Android app. Hopefully these guys will post some threads about it.

      Also, I’m the new Skye apparently.

      @Schamper It does look it, it think it is because of the shape of the B’s. It is the same image as the logo, just smaller.

    • How to recover Grub

      I have recently had some issue with kernal panics and Elementary OS not booting correctly, giving me a BusyBox screen with limited commands. The first time round i saw this i managed to fix it by booting into a live CD of Elementary OS and using the fsck /dev/sdax command. This seemed to fix it until i did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. This completely broke my install, I chose to start again with a fresh install of Elementary OS.

      Once it had fully installed and i had removed the live CD, i rebooted my laptop only to find that Grub had broke too. This meant that i was unable too boot into any operating system that I had installed on my laptop.

      How to recover from File Not Found: Grub Rescue

      I found a nice little tool that will automate the recovery of Grub and the boot partition. It is called boot-repair.

      • Boot into a live CD of Ubuntu or any of its derivatives

      • Install boot-repair

        sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
        sudo apt-get update
        sudo apt-get install boot-repair

      • Run boot-repair

        boot-repair

      • Click the “Recommended repair” button and let boot-repair do it’s magic.

      • Once the completion screen has been displayed it should be OK to reboot.

      You should now have a working Grub boot menu!

    • How to install Node.js and NPM on Ubuntu based Operating Systems

      While I am setting up Node.js and NPM for a project I am currently working on I think it would be best to document my installations setups. I have already posted a quick How to Install Nginx and i think Node.js and NPM are the next logical items to write about.

      Installing Node.js

      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get install nodejs
      

      This will install whatever version is currently in the repository, this will probably not be the latest and we will need to upgrade. Once the installation is complete you should have a working version of Node.js and NPM. NPM is Node Package Manager and it is used to install different node packages. It can also be used to upgrade itself and Node.js.

      How to upgrade NPM

      If NPM is not installed with the Node.js install then you will need to install NPM via apt-get.

      sudo apt-get install npm
      sudo npm update npm -g
      

      This command will upgrade NPM to the latest version, the -g is a global option so unless you are a root user you will need to use the sudo command.
      Once NPM has been fully update you can use it to update Node.js.

      How to upgrade Node.js via NPM

      sudo npm install -g n
      sudo n stable
      

      This will install the latest version Node.js.
      After these commands have run you will have a fully working and up to date Node.js and NPM.

    • How to install Nginx 1.6.0 on Elementary OS.

      I’m going through the process of installing my dev environment for fapng and thought i would document some of the progress here.

      Nginx can be a pain to install with some distros of Linux. I had trouble installing the latest version on Debian as they only have the most stable packages available.

      This should help install the latest version on:

      • Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr

      • Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander

      • Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin

      • Linux Mint 17 Qiana

      • Linux Mint 16 Petra

      • Linux Mint 13 Maya

      • Pinguy OS 14.04

      • Pinguy OS 12.04

      • LXLE 14.04

      • and other Ubuntu based linux distributions

        $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable
        $ sudo apt-get update
        $ sudo apt-get install nginx

    • RE: World Cup Finals

      Argentina didn’t really play that well against the Netherlands so my bet is on Germany. If they played like they did against Brazil then they are a sure win.
      Germany: 3
      Argentina: 0
      Penalties: Argentina
