Just watched the GTA5 trailer on wired.com. The map looks like you could lose an entire year of your life playing the game. The video does look amazing, but I’m not sure I can break my no computer games rule* :-/ Maybe when I retire (in the year 2055) I’ll …
In the part 2, the basic app and splitting into sub codes had been built. To keep this part short, I’ll just be adding fromAddress filtering. When a price request is received via email, not only does the payload have to be of the correct type and contain a code, …
In part 1 we built the basics of the app – and by basics, it really was basic. In this part, code checking and sub code splitting will be added. To start with we’ll add sub code splitting. This is heavily dependent on the website code and for the website …
This post will walk through a complete project from start to scratch. Previously I’d created a small Selenium price checking test which runs great, but means that my pc has to run the app and no one can use it except me. This new project will build on that but …
How can you get messages out of an embedded ActiveMQ kaha db? Well this question came up this week in conversation at work after my colleagues had spent a fair few hours trying to achieve this goal. I always prefer the simplest option possible and thought, well why not just …
I read a few blogs about technology and new things on the internet and the other day this post (Have guests often – Generate a QR Code with your Wi-Fi details that you can frame on your wall) came up about printing off a QR Code for your guests to …
(Unfortunately this is the second time I’m writing this as I trashed my database to correct an apostrophe problem before thinking about the post I’d just written…) I’ve just switched hosts this week and was updating various settings in my network when I logged into the Kyocera Command Center and …
I’ve just transferred hosts this week and everything had gone reasonably well (except a dns setting on this domain…). That was until about 30 minutes ago when I posted a new article and went and checked the old related articles only to realise that they were corrupted! I frantically went …
If you install a piece of software from a vendor you trust and it offers you a choice of items to install but then ignores that list, surely it’s no better than malware…? I’ve just upgraded to a new version of Zonealarm and had exactly that. I chose the custom …
In this part, I’ve added the ability to print HTML. In order to print HTML, the HTML first needs to be converted so that it can be put into a PDF document and printed just like a PDF. The following class has been extended to handle HTML attachments and print …
If like me, you’ve been looking at printers recently, you might well have noticed that some printers now come with email addresses allowing you to email the printer with items to print. I’ve already written a few months ago about the fact that I chose to buy a Kyocera laser …
There are many cases in a recent project I’ve worked on where we need to configure the app using properties and the properties values represent a list of objects. The list can be a variable size and the objects might not have all the same fields defined. The solution to …
One of the reasons I purchased the Kyocera FS-1035MFP was due to the email functionality. On the night I received the device and plugged it in, I tried to send a document via e-mail, only to receive an error report from the device stating that the device didn’t have smtp …
We print a lot of documents in our household – roughly six thousand pages a year. When my previous employer decided to downsize, they got rid of a lot of furniture and equipment. They were getting rid of a couple of printers, one being an HP LJ5 and I asked …
As I mentioned back in November, I’ve been working on integrating with the PVOutput website so I don’t have to manually read the Sunnybeam output files and add stats to the website. In order to be able to look at creating a solution, I need a set of requirements. These …
