Made some changes to what some apps can do and now it seems to run a lot longer than it did before. [image: qFv6nj5.png@30%25] [image: eePgyOc.png@30%25] I need to see how long it last without heavy usage. Maybe i could hit the 2 day mark.

Don’t worry. We’ve got that documented. [image: Image%202014-12-09%20at%206.28.31%20PM.png@500x] P.S. The story is backed up better than your phone! :P

Dat crossplatform play tho

P.S. if you actually rename it to Minecrosoft and run it through steam, other people will see you playing Minecrosoft.

Those noobs.

@Scuzz From what I’ve read, you get the best effect by having them point at the wall at like a 45 degree angle. I’ve seen a lot of PVC pipe structures where you can easily adjust the angle.

Today I was tasked with upgrading some Windows 7 Home Premium PCs to Windows 7 Ultimate. For some reason the installer will not let you upgrade from Home premium to Ultimate and it tries to force you to do a clean install. I managed to find a way around this by editing some registry keys. Open Regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion And change: EditionID from HomePremium to Enterprise and ProductName from Windows 7 HomePremium to Enterprise Then re run your upgrade and everything should run as you expected!

Requests really does make HTTP usage so easy in Python; I came across and used it last week.

Code for the test. #include "FastLED.h" #define NUM_LEDS 41 #define DATA_PIN 11 #define CLOCK_PIN 13 CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS]; void setup() { FastLED.addLeds<WS2801, RGB>(leds, NUM_LEDS); } void Pulse(CRGB colour) { for(int i = 0; i < NUM_LEDS; i++) { leds[i] = colour; leds[i].maximizeBrightness(); } FastLED.show(); for(int i = 0; i < 14; i++) { for(int k = 0; k < NUM_LEDS; k++) { leds[k].fadeLightBy( 64 ); } FastLED.show(); delay(50); } for(int i = 0; i < 14; i++) { for(int k = 0; k < NUM_LEDS; k++) { leds[k] *= 2; } FastLED.show(); delay(100); } } void UpDown(CRGB colour) { for(int i = 0; i < NUM_LEDS; i++) { leds[i] = colour; FastLED.show(); leds[i] = CRGB::Black; delay(30); } for(int i = NUM_LEDS-1; i >= 0; i--) { leds[i] = colour; FastLED.show(); leds[i] = CRGB::Black; delay(30); } } void loop() { UpDown(CRGB::Red); UpDown(CRGB::Red); for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){ Pulse(CRGB::Red); } UpDown(CRGB::Purple); UpDown(CRGB::Purple); for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){ Pulse(CRGB::Purple); } UpDown(CRGB::Blue); UpDown(CRGB::Blue); for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){ Pulse(CRGB::Blue); } }

@Scuzz works 👍

@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.

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!

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.

@Schamper You can build it from source and i think i read that Freya beta will be coming out soon.

Can’t wait to see what will be going down in Germany. xD

I managed to slip BitBangers into the NodeBB post over at Hacker News yesterday. This was mainly to show them that there was other themes and layouts available. Most of the comments in the thread seemed to be about the layout of their home page. We got a nice traffic spike from it too :D [image: PQAR4TJ.png] We didn’t suffer a DDoS like some of the websites do when posted on HN or Reddit but it was nice to get some hits. Lets hope some of the visitors pop back and register.
