			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was playing GodEater on the UMD, I had finished most of the download quests, I heard there was finally a patch for GodEater, I switched to CFW 5.5 GEN-D2. The game works on CFW, thanks to the brilliant hackers online, however, my save file was corrupted when I tried to load the game. I could start a new game save file and use the cwcheats available, but there was no point in that.</p>
<p>There is a way to fix corrupted psp saves from different firmwares, I&#8217;m pretty sure you can even use it to edit the unencrypted save files with the proper Gamekey.</p>
<p>Before you start, remember to backup all your save files. I cannot stress how important this is. Don&#8217;t be a fool, backup your files.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll need the following files:<br />
1. Gamekey for GodEater (ULJS00237.bin)<br />
2. SED installed<br />
3. Your non-working saved file</p>
<p><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/390622492/SED_FC_KHBBS0.5.zip" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/390622492/SED_FC_KHBBS0.5.zip</a></p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave01.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><br />
</a><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave01.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-529" title="restoresave01" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave01.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>Here are instructions:<br />
1. Put the ULJS00237.bin into your PSP\GAME\SED\gamekey\ directory</p>
<p>2. Run SED from the memory stick</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave02.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave02" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave02.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>3. Choose the non-working saved file, press the triangle key, and select 解密 (decrypt)</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave03.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave03" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave03.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>4. Select &#8220;YES&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave04.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave04" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave04.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>5. You should see 解密完成 (finished decrypting), after which quit SED.</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave05.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave05" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave05.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>6. From the PSP&#8217;s menu, select GAME &gt; SAVED DATA UTILITY &gt;  non-working save file, DELETE. (YES, DELETE)</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave06.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave06" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave06.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave07.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave07" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave07.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>7. Run GodEater from the GAME &gt; MEMORY STICK &gt; GodEater. Create  any  character, save the game. Then quit the game.</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave08.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave08" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave08.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>9. Run SEC from the  memory stick again8. This time, select the NEW WORKING  SAVED FILE, and select 加密 (encrypt)</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave09.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave09" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave09.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>10. Select &#8220;Yes&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave10.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave10" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave10.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>11. If all is well, you should see this 加密完成, if you see something like   解密済デ一タありません go find out how to fix it using the link on the bottom.</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave11.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave11" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave11.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>12. Run GodEater from the memory stick again, and this time load the file,   you will realise that save actually is incorrect, but load it anyway.</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave12.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave12" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave12.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>13. Oh what do we have here? My original saved file? : D Everything is intact, except  for   the download quests.</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave13.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave13" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave13.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>14. It&#8217;s not complete until you save again, VIOLA!</p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave14.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave14" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave14.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave15.jpg" rel="lightbox[528]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-531" title="restoresave15" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restoresave15.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>I got information from here, and there&#8217;s an extra step if you don&#8217;t see the &#8220;success&#8221; screen. http://psper.tw/PSP-Savedata-fix/</p>

<p>The Nokia N900 is a qwerty MID touchscreen smartphone that&#8217;s running Maemo 5 Linux as it&#8217;s operating system.</p>
<p>Pros:<br />
- Running Maemo 5 = Running Linux = Many open sourced options<br />
- Display of 800 x 480 @ 3.5&#8243; screen<br />
- QWERTY Keyboard<br />
- 5 megapixel Carl Zweiss Tessar lens camera<br />
- Supports Adobe Flash 9.4<br />
- CPU running ARM Cortext A8 (500 MHz)<br />
- Storage: 256 MB Nand, 32 GB eMMC<br />
- Memory: 256 MB Mobile DDR, 768 virtual swap space<br />
- GPU running PowerVR SGX 530 supporting OpenGL ES 2.0<br />
- 3.5mm audio<br />
- A2DP with Bluetooth v2.1<br />
- Activesync (Not tried)<br />
- SyncML<br />
- IRPort</p>
<p>Cons:<br />
- QWERTY Keyboard has no ESC key. (I suppose you can remap it since it&#8217;s running linux)<br />
- Weight 181 grams</p>
<p>Anyways, enough of the phone, let&#8217;s get to the main topic, installing chinese IME on this phone. Interestingly, <a href="http://www.penpower.net/nokia/n900/" target="_blank">penpower</a> actually has free input software for the nokia n900. Of course, this is due to the hard work of the folks who are modifying mscim for n900 in the first place, but seriously, the pp software really kicks ass.</p>
<p>If you can read chinese, you don&#8217;t need this guide, and you can just follow the instructions here: <a href="http://www.penpower.net/nokia/n900/chinese-cn.htm" target="_blank">http://www.penpower.net/nokia/n900/chinese-cn.htm</a></p>
<p>Otherwise, follow these steps:<br />
- Access phone menu (touching the top left, where there are six squares)<br />
- Select &#8220;More..&#8221;<br />
- Select &#8220;App Manager&#8221;<br />
- Select &#8220;Application Manager&#8221; dropdown<br />
- Select &#8220;Application catalogues&#8221;<br />
- Select &#8220;New&#8221;</p>
<p>Enter the following: (Only the web address and distribution are important.)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/App-Manager-App-Catalogues-New-Details.png" rel="lightbox[517]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-518  aligncenter" title="App Manager - App Catalogues - New - Details" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/App-Manager-App-Catalogues-New-Details-300x180.png" alt="" width="300" height="180" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Catalogue name: Maemo Extras-devel<br />
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel<br />
Distribution: fremantle<br />
Components: free non-free<br />
Do not click the &#8220;Disabled&#8221; checkbox</p></blockquote>
<p>- Select &#8220;Save&#8221;<br />
The Application Manager will reload the applications you can install from this new repository.</p>
<p>- Select &#8220;Application Manager&#8221;</p>
<p>Search for, and install these applications in the following order:</p>
<blockquote><p>- mscim<br />
- n900-locales-ppchinese<br />
- mscim-n900-ppinputmethod</p></blockquote>
<p>At this point, you can go to the system menu, settings, language &amp; region, device language &gt; and select either &#8220;chinese prc, chinese taiwan, or chinese hongkong&#8221;</p>
<p>To activate/de-activate the PowerPen ime, hold the CTRL + SPACEBAR.</p>
<p>To de-activate certain input methods, you can goto system menu, settings, MSCIM input methods.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s several input methods, in my opinion, it&#8217;s better than the free stuff you can install on your windows computer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/N900_PPIME.jpg" rel="lightbox[517]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-520  aligncenter" title="N900_PPIME" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/N900_PPIME-300x151.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="151" /></a></p>
<p>- Stroke based keyboard input system (Select 木 three times, and a 森 will appear)<br />
- There is another kind of stroked based keyboard input system but I&#8217;m not familiar with usage<br />
- QWERTY Pinyin input<br />
- Handwriting input</p>
<p>Very cool. Alternatively, there&#8217;s another method listed here which you might want to try: <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/amandahoic/Home/nokia-n900-zhuan-qu/nokia-n900-fan-ti-zhong-wen-bao" target="_blank">http://sites.google.com/site/amandahoic/Home/nokia-n900-zhuan-qu/nokia-n900-fan-ti-zhong-wen-bao</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aparrently it&#8217;s quite the documented fact on the faq but it&#8217;s not indexed, so here&#8217;s how you do it.</p>
<p>Problem: You delete your twitter account, and then you add another tweeter account, but tweetdeck doesn&#8217;t save your data and there&#8217;s no way to select your default account. I believe it stores the data somewhere, sometimes, you can just install a new version of tweekdeck and it&#8217;ll work, other times you have to delete where it previously stored the data.</p>
<p>Solution for windows xp:</p>
<p>Click Start, Select &#8220;run&#8221;.<br />
In the box that appears, type this:</p>
<blockquote><p>%APPDATA%\Adobe\AIR\ELS\</p></blockquote>
<p>Delete the directories that start with &#8220;TweetDeckFast&#8230;..&#8221;</p>
<p>Next,</p>
<p>Click Start, Select &#8220;run&#8221;.<br />
In the box that appears, type this:</p>
<blockquote><p>%APPDATA%</p></blockquote>
<p>Delete the directories that start with &#8220;TweetDeckFast&#8230;..&#8221;</p>
<p>Start TweetDeck</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, I had the chance to play with a BlackBerry. For most telcos, I believe you can do a one to one exchange, but what if you need to backup your data and it&#8217;s 3am at night? You can attempt to fix it yourself before deciding to wipe it. Using this method, it is possible to access your BlackBerry while the screen shows the dreaded JVM Error 102 / infinite reset screen.</p>
<p>Install the BlackBerry Desktop application if you have not done so, you should have an installation cd which comes with your BlackBerry or you can download it from here.<br />
<a href="http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/" target="_blank">http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/</a></p>
<p>Download the JL_Cmder JavaLoader Utility from blackberryfreaks.<br />
<a href="http://www.blackberryfreaks.com/downloads/JL_cmder/JL_Cmder%20v1.9.zip" target="_blank">http://www.blackberryfreaks.com/downloads/JL_cmder/JL_Cmder%20v1.9.zip</a><br />
<a href="http://www.blackberryfreaks.com/JL_Cmder.html" target="_blank">http://www.blackberryfreaks.com/JL_Cmder.html</a></p>
<p>In case you were wondering, I believe, most, if not all BlackBerry applications are running on java. When you download a BlackBerry application from a website, it actually downloads a text file called &#8220;application_name.jad&#8221; which instructs the BlackBerry to download and install the various installation files onto your BlackBerry. If not, let me know, I&#8217;ll tinker with it when I have the opportunity to do so : x</p>
<p>If you open the .jad file with a text editor, you will find that it contains the following instructions/configurations:</p>
<ul>
<li> SHA Keys for encryption/checksums</li>
<li> Filesize</li>
<li> Packaged file name (application_name.jar)</li>
<li> Descriptions</li>
<li> COD-URL (List of files to download &#8211; application.cod, application-1.cod, application-2.cod, etc, etc.)</li>
<li> COD-Size (List of the corresponding file sizes)</li>
<li> Module-name of application</li>
<li> etc, etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>Turn on your BlackBerry, plug it to your computer with your USB cable. Run JL_Cmder.cmd which you got from JL_Cmder.zip. At this point, you should be able to see a screen similar to this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/jl_cmder.jpg" rel="lightbox[489]"><img class="size-full wp-image-490  aligncenter" title="jl_cmder" src="http://kenshinjeff.18jan.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/jl_cmder.jpg" alt="jl_cmder" width="388" height="542" /></a></p>
<p>For debugging purposes, you can select eventlog (option 2). This will dump the eventlog from the phone, onto notepad for you to view through. Look through the last few lines where it says &#8220;error&#8221; or &#8220;failed&#8221;.</p>
<p>In most cases, deleting the offending files will enable you to narrow down which applications are causing you problems. Do note that one application may consist of several cod files to delete. You will need to access the cmd.exe from windows, navigate to where you unzipped the JL_Cmder, and run the following command:</p>
<blockquote><p>javaloader.exe -u erase -f FILENAME</p></blockquote>
<p>where FILENAME is the name of the .cod file</p>
<p>So, it could look like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>javaloader.exe -u erase -f application.cod<br />
javaloader.exe -u erase -f application-1.cod<br />
javaloader.exe -u erase -f application-2.cod</p></blockquote>
<p>At this point, you should quit JL_Cmder, try to reboot your phone, and pray that it works. If it does, do remember to use the BlackBerry Desktop application to make a backup. Just in case. *wink*</p>
<p>If it doesn&#8217;t you have the option of wiping your BlackBerry (option 4), or resettofactory (option 5).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These instructions are for windows, but I doubt any linux user would have any issues adapting this for linux, it&#8217;s the steps involved that are important.</p>
<p>Before you start, it is important to backup your entire database. It&#8217;s just common sense you know. Backup your views (if any) and your queries also. Do not forget your custom reports (System &gt; Design &gt; Reports), at this point I might point out that when editing/saving a custom report, you should set the grade to anything other than a 0. Because 0 will let it get overwritten.</p>
<p>Determine database version:<br />
System &gt; Master Information Database Information</p>
<p>Determine client version number:<br />
Help &gt; About</p>
<p><a title="http://sourceforge.net/projects/postbooks/files/" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/postbooks/files/" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/projects/postbooks/files/</a></p>
<p>You need the latest version of the following:<br />
1. PostBooks-installers<br />
2. PostBooks-updater<br />
3. PostBooks-databases</p>
<p>Existing DB: 3.3.0<br />
Existing Client: Build 6996 (It actually means I was running client 3.3.0, but I didn&#8217;t know it at that time)</p>
<p>For my case, a direct database update to 3.4 was not possible, so this was what I had to do:</p>
<p>1. Run Updater-2.2.0 with pb330to331.gz, then<br />
2. Run Updater-2.2.0 with pb331to340.gz<br />
3. Install xTuple-3.4.0-windows-installer.exe, choosing only to install the client.<br />
4. Viola~</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re facing issues with PostBooks/xTuple, I would strongly recommend that you register a user account in their community forums, they are pretty quick and knowledgeable, which is really cool for an open sourced company.</p>

<ol>
<li>Dump your original NDS cartridge into a .nds rom file, or simply just go download a .nds rom file.</li>
<li>Unpack your .nds file file using dslazy.</li>
<li>Find sound_data.sdat in NDS_UNPACK\data\Sound\</li>

<li>Fire up a command prompt, and run</li>
</ol>
<blockquote><p>ndssndext.exe sound_data.sdat</p></blockquote>
<p>Viola~ Most, if not all the audio files ought to be in the newly created directory. And yes, I now have the really irritating mario rpg3&#8217;s sounds as my sms/ring tone : D</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a freaking big annoyance. If you install windows 7 with more than one harddisk, it will automatically make the 2nd harddisk some kind of backup directory which windows refuses to format. Yeah sure, it&#8217;s a great add in, but really irritating when you decide to plug out that drive. I really wanted to format it and so I fdisked it on an ubuntu iso.</p>
<p>Then when I tried to boot back to windows, I was presented with the alimighty black screen which says bootmgr is missing, press ctrl alt del.</p>
<ol>
<li>Disconnect all your drives, leave the harddrive with windows 7 intact.</li>
<li>Boot off windows 7 bootdisk, select &#8220;repair your computer&#8221; after selecting time/date.</li>
<li>You now have 3 possible ways, from easy to most difficult, if the first doesn&#8217;t work, try the second, then the third, if all else fails, re-install.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Option A: Let windows repair the BCD</li>
<li>Option B: Manually rebuild the BCD via recovery console</li>
<li>Option C: Delete offending BCD dir, rebuild BCD manually, make the windows 7 partition the active partition, let windows repair the BCD for you, then reboot.</li>
</ul>
<p>It took me a few hours of my life, and I found the solution here. Considering that a windows 7 installation takes only 15 mins on my comp, I hope this will take you less than 15 mins to fix.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;ve been playing with xTuple, and it seems like it&#8217;s gonna be the new ERP system that I&#8217;ll be using these days.</p>
<p>Naturally, I do not have any idea what I&#8217;m doing yet, but it sure took me some time to figure out how to enable multiple logins. Sure it&#8217;s noobish, but there wasn&#8217;t any documentation~ So, after some trial/error and trolling the forums, this is what I came up with.</p>
<p>Basically, in order to use xTuple,  you connect to postgresql with a heavy client app, that runs on QT *ack* I believe. Anyway, to enable multiple users to access xTuple at the same time, you need to enable remote access to postgres.</p>
<p>I must first warn you, this is not the most effective way of doing it. But I suppose it&#8217;ll do since the network has all of TWO people now : x</p>
<p>pg_hba.conf<br />
#host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5<br />
host all all 192.168.1.0/24 md5</p>
<p>This allows everyone on my subnet (192.168.1.255) to access it</p>
<p>postgresql.conf<br />
listen_addresses = &#8216;*&#8217;</p>
<p>This is of course, to enable listening on all available IPs.</p>
<p>Restart postgresql. Viola~</p>

$ adb shell reboot</p></blockquote>
<p>If that&#8217;s too hard for you to understand, do this instead:</p>
<p>Download the files from above.</p>
<ol>
<li>Unzip htc_ime.zip</li>
<li>Extract HTC_IME.apk, and put it on your phone</li>
<li>From AndroidStore, download Astro File Manager or Apps Installer, and install the .apk file.</li>
<li>Reboot</li>
<li>Viola~</li>
</ol>
<p>Settings, Locale &amp; Text, Touch Input settings, Keyboard types, Phone Keypad. And yes, if you need to know, I used the 2nd method instead of the first, though I ought to have backed it up first since there&#8217;s so much of this phone I&#8217;m not sure of yet. *selfstab*</p>
