Cloud Computing With The Nokia E51
New hardware, especially new phones, may come and go but The Cloud (they should just have called it The Matrix) is definitely here to stay. Setting up and using my Nokia E51 to access The Cloud wasn't so straightforward, so I'm listing down some tips that might help. Browser - the traditional way of accessing the Internet. The E51's built-in browser is capable enough but ...

PS3 Optical Digital Audio Cable
Finally got an optical digital audio cable aka TOSLINK cable to connect the PS3 to my budget audio receiver, a Samsung HT-Z320 home theater. Supposedly this should give me 5.1 audio. I plugged in the cable and configured the PS3 sound settings->audio output settings. I selected optical digital as the connector and selected Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, AAC, PCM 2.0 44.1KHz, and PCM 2.0 ...

WDS: Bridging Wireless Networks
I had my PS3 and Linkstation on a wired gigabit subnet because I wanted the PS3 to be able to stream HD content from the Linkstation. But I also needed the PS3 to have Internet access and the Linkstation to be accessible by wireless devices. First, I tried connecting my Huawei D100 router to the switch but it couldn't find any HSDPA signal. Sun's signal ...

Flex: Security Error Accessing URL Part 2
I previously encountered this error when I was working only within my own development box (laptop actually) and I basically worked around the error. But now, I need my Flex Web Service client separate from my Web Service. when you are in this situation, you need to have a crossdomain.xml file in your host's root directory: <cross-domain-policy> <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/> <allow-access-from domain="yourdomain"/> <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="yourdomain" headers="*"/></cross-domain-policy> And ...

Flex: Custom HTML Wrappers In Ant
Building Flex using ant build files is generally straightforward. Unfortunately, this is not so with using custom HTML wrappers. You cannot use the html-wrapper task since this only uses the standard templates in Flex's html-template folder. If you want to use your own index.template.html in your own html-template folder, you will need to use a workaround: <macrodef name="generateHtmlWrapper" description="Generates HTML Wrapper using custom template"> <attribute ...

Flex: Unable To Open Locale
When you're working with locales in Flex, you would put in the following code in you ant build file: <mxmlc> <locale>it_IT</locale> <source-path path-element="locale/it_IT"/> <include-resource-bundles>formlabels</include-resource-bundles> <source-path path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks"/> <output>bin/formlabels_it_IT.swf</output></mxmlc> Then when you get a puzzling error: [mxmlc] C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\flex-config.xml(75): Error: unable to open 'locale/it_IT' But don't you have that ...

Buffalo Linkstation Live
I finally got my Linkstation back from the shop. Only, it's now a Linkstation Live. Here's how it happened: A few months ago my CDR-King HDD enclosure died when it suffered a workplace accident. To replace it, I bought a Buffalo Linkstation Pro. But after a only few months, it conked out (Lesson Learned: Do not store important data in these unreliable drives!). Fortunately, it ...

Assassin’s Creed II
Assassin's Creed II is the sequel to the love-it-or-hate-it Assassin's Creed. I myself haven't played the first game but from what I see one group loved it because of the huge, detailed, and history-based game world and storyline. While the other group hated it because of the dreary repetitive missions and bland cutscenes. Assassin's Creed II certainly doesn't have dreary repetitive missions. Sure there are ...

Sony Playstation 3 Slim
I was a gamer not too long ago.

Certified True Copy vs Certified Xerox Copy
Here's a puzzle. Michelle was following up with their HR regarding the requirements for claiming SSS maternity benefits and they responded with this one interesting item: Certified true copy of child's birth certificate (Please take note: It should certified true copy and not certified xerox copy from the original). So how do you make a true copy (by itself already an oxymoron) prior to it ...
