Note – I wrote this post whilst I still had Windows 8.1. Now that I have upgraded to Windows 10, things are different – since .NET 4.6 RTM is part of Windows! Windows 10 readers should note that it is possible to install the Windows XP C++ tools in Visual Studio, which will install the Windows SDK 7.1, but not the VC compilers. If you still need the older VC compilers, I discovered a workaround to get them on Windows 10!

A few from the ever-growing archives, most from stuff said by lecturers. See, attending lectures can be fun! that one is a very unpleasant integral. if I give you that, you’d just throw your hands and say “Oh this isn’t the course for me”. Something like that, or curse me or get a drink or whatever you do in that circumstance. Tutor to student asking a question: “I can completely destroy you easily”

This semester I am taking a course in microprocessors. We have been learning Atmel’s AVR 8-bit ISA. (I just finished a report on the differences between ARM and AVR) Check out the brand new kits that the school have been busy assembling: Well it turns out that the manufacturing itself was done in China. I asked. An experimental observation was that the board cannot handle 12V. I write “experimental observation” because I fried the first dev board and had to get it replaced.

“But it was working yesterday” Locked out of your Fedora installation? Maybe because you’ve just reinstalled Windows (again). Or you’ve been playing with some alternate UEFI boot loaders. But, there is (inevitably) a way to fix it. Disclaimer: Some stuff might be wrong. I am still learning. Start by booting the machine with a live Fedora system. The live system should be started in EFI mode. Once booted,

Just a few quick thoughts on ProPresenter 5 on Mac… (from a complete PC guy) Renewed Vision’s ProPresenter 5 has been an enjoyable experience as a very capable presentation software package. After spending just yesterday afternoon sitting down in front of the Mac, I was able a get a handle on the ProPresenter software pretty quickly – points of user-friendliness! The ‘My First Presentation‘ video tutorial on the Renewed Vision website covered just about all of the basics, and the gist of the workflow.

It is directly upstairs from the Matthews Food Court.

Hellow there, fellow Linux enthusiast. Looking for a way to program the NXT robot using your Linux notebook? Well, turns out you can! What works Compiling NXC code – exactly as it would on Windows & OSX Downloading the compiled code to the NXT brick through USB What generally won’t work Actual NXC language code completion Firmware update the NXT thru Linux at ur own risk… Your NXC IDE in Linux Not too much choice here:

This guide will show you step-by-step how to update the firmware for the Plextor PX-128M5M mSata solid state drive on a Windows machine, using a USB flash drive – which is much more practical than burning it to a CD disc. Plextor’s PlexTool utility notifies you about new firmware version releases. Great! But it simply downloads it – and you have to burn the tiny ISO yourself. You could just as easily write the ISO to a disc – but why not just one of those USB drives laying around?
