Intro This article is the result of hours of frustration, research and lack-of-understanding on my part.

Intro I’ve worked on a few frontend web projects before and mainly used Aptana Studios 3 for all my IDE/Text Editor needs.

Intro So I’ve recently finished the Java backend for a project that I’m working on and now I need to get the frontend up and running.

In light of the lack of STEM and modern technologies training, such as Programming, Computer Architecture and other High-Tech areas, I would like to do my part by starting a weekly Robotics class.

The Problem An elementary school’s core curriculum covers basic math, English and science.

Hello, again.

Why would I dedicate time to writing a blog?

Here is some code I modified from DynamicDrive to disable right clicking on my school website: <script language=JavaScript> <!

I’m so siked, I have fixed two XBOXs that have faced RROD (Red-Ring-of-Death) using these instructions.

Finally!

I followed this guide to greatly improve the Ubuntu Natty Narwhal notification system.

Nautilus Elementary lacked the nice breadcrumb layout when on the default Ambiance theme, so here is a simple fix to bring it to you.

Pithos, a Linux app the streams Pandora Radio natively without the clunky flash webapp or any sort of browser being open, would consistantly crash after a few songs and would have to be restarted to continue playing.

Following a guide on Ubuntu Forums, I set up a program called BlueProximity that detects the distance my phone is away and when my phone reaches a certain distance, locks my computer.

After successfully installing Mac OSX 10.6.6 on my brother’s Sony VAIO, my dad needed the hard-drive expanded to install XCODE for Iphone dev.

I have found myself wanting to work with multiple Firefox windows open because of my dual monitor setup.

I’ve been trying to find the easiest solution for ripping DVDs to a format stream-able to my Droid X but currently stuck using a three step process.

I have been suffering a problem with my NTFS partitions, I couldn’t delete the files on them to trash!

I’m restarting my postings so I can remember everything I did.

I’ve measured the amperage across the solar panel throughout the day, at 9:00 AM (.3 amps); 12:00 PM (.7 amps); 5:00 PM (.3 amps); or about .4 amps averaged from 9:00 to 3:00.

Well, the battery ran out on me and the inverter’s power alarm started screeching at me.

I added plumbers tape to the other side to support it even more and ran two 40 ft. extension cords to my house along my wall.

The battery charged my Droid, iTouch, and iPhone all through the night.

I’m mounting the panel today, it’s looking good so far!

Just finished setting up wiring, can’t wait to get it up and running!

I have finished the mounting brackets.
