Drupal SWF Tools Module - 1PixelOut White...
I recently switched to a dark theme for my drupal website and had to retheme my 1PixelOut Player. What I noticed however is that for the SWF Tools module there is no “background” color for the actual flash player itelf, so when the player loads and is minimized there is a white background extending where the player displays when fully expanded.
I found the same issue here:...
Vista Won't Sleep!
I was recently having this problem where Windows Vista would not sleep. I would choose sleep from the Start menu but it would just take the computer to the locked screen where I could log in again.
I was recently having this same problem seemingly out of the blue, and so I did a little research to figure out what the problem was. I received a hint from this forum post:...
LG VX8700 "Camera Start Error" Fix
So my wife has had this problem with her cell phone. Whenever she tries to start the camera a message pops up saying, “Camera Start Error” and then it closes. She’s not able to use the camera function. I was searching on some phone forums through Google and found the fix, and it was so ridiculous that I had to blog about it.

I’ve had my 8700 for a while. Great...

ePSXe & ATI Video Card
So I have some old Playstation 1 games that I wanted to play, but didn’t want to pull out my old PS2 console and set it up with the rest of my entertainment center so I thought I’d emulate. I’m using the ePSXe emulator and was really happy with it…until I started to play a game. For the emulator to work well you have to download a third party video plugin. I was using...

Charge Your Cell Phone Every Day!
I have heard this myth way too often: “Charging your cellphone every day will reduce the life of the battery.” This is only true of Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) and Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, which are OLD. You’ll still find them in ancient electronic devices, but not ones manfactured today. These batteries had a “memory” and so had to be entirely discharged...

Google Engine
I’ve decided I’m going to try and come up with a neat web application using Google Engine, that will benefit Christians. I don’t know what or how, because I have no experience coding web applications in Python, but it’s too cool to not try.
God: The "All Reality"
The other day at founder’s week, Charles Colson referred to God as the “All Reality”, taking this from the greek ‘logos’. I’ve never heard God referred to in this way, but I think it is stunningly fitting. God is the pinnacle and summary of all that is true and real. Thumbs up Chuck.

Drupal Imagecache Quality on JPGs
I’ve recently noticed that the quality of my Imagefield Images after being resized through Imagecache have been seriously degraded in terms of quality. I’m using the PHP GD Tookit for image processing and thought that the problem might be with the Image Tookit Settings, under: http://example.com/admin/settings/image-toolkit. After modifying this setting from 75% to 100% I...

Godbyte Devocast - Mistake in Time
OK, so I goofed up. I record the devocasts a day in advance and these two days I decided to add an introduction with the date and a neat classical audio snippet. Well I recorded the wrong dates. If ever I confuse some things like that make sure to double check the posted date and that’s the one that’s correct. Sorry for the confusion.
Here’s a couple links to the...
