So I've had a recurring problem with Roundcube, in that certain email accounts will not delete emails, instead just show an error "Could not move the message", and return to the previous folder with the message still there.
This problem occurred as well when those certain email accounts tried to move a message from the main inbox to another folder such as Saved, Spam or a self-made folder (which sometimes making custom folders didn't even work).
So the solution is in config/main.inc.php:
Change THIS:
So, after a really intense month of work and the start of the summer in Vancouver finally, we are getting really involved in evaluating various Gsame Engines to be used by our Video game development.
Currently Blender 3D version 2.5 is being developed via re-developing the entire software, so it's given us time to look at the big picture and review our options.
The main pro's for Blender are that we have extensive experience developing/3D animation/3D modeling using it.
Cons, well our first con to date has come up following a meeting I had with a rep from NaturalMotion regarding using their product: Morpheme.
After a great hour and a half meeting with their rep, I feel this is the best possible solution to many issues we face at the current stage of development.
Firstly, we can slipstream development of numerous tracks into 1 track, secondly, they have extremely personal/professional support for their product, whereas Blender does NOT. Third, we have more options to comb through, as NaturalMotion prefers we use a game engine for which they've already created integration for their product.
The last fact being said, I WOULD in fact be happy to front a team to develop a new integration for Python and Blender 3D, it could be a goal/intention of our development project.
What I haven't been mentioning is my evaluating of XNA/XBOX's game kits. That is a whole other story; lets just say it's not out of the question, and will create another area for the team to expertise in.
In any case. The Dog Food Project moves forward and the Video Game is taking steps closer to real life!
This is a URL Shortening service which requires no sign-up, and offers great simplicity. Currently it shows you all of the URLs you've made shortened links for, based on IP.
The back-end functionality is in fact better than bit.ly, ow.ly as well as tinyurl. I can make sure the URL is real very accurately, it protects against anything other than HTTP, HTTPS or FTP addresses, it takes into account common url typos, and it also avoids duplication, by checking against already made Hashes as well as URLs that have already been processed.
My intended functionality which is in the works behind the scenes is to have a search engine to search for a specific URL's previously created Hash, and when found it will immediately show you the information on that link including total clicks and date created.
An API is in the design phase to allow developers to create and account in order to get API code to have their own applications and websites access the Hash making functionality of the website.
I have planned on buying the domain tds.ca for this website, and its hash lengths to start (for the first 40 thousand or so hashes) will be 4, therefor making all links made by the service shorter than any of the competition.
To add some punch to this I have a planned aggressive marketing strategy in place to promote it as inexpensively as possible.
5:27 pm - Post Category: Nickness Posted from my BlackBerry Storm
Alright so to start off my mid 2010 round of updates, I've added a few really handy scripts to my site (which I'll explain below), I've made the site navigation significantly better and I have a whole lot of ToDo's to get a better feel going on.
So the handy scripts I mentioned are 3 in total (to start); an AJAX web based Image Map generator, a Javascript shrinking tool (removes js comments and whitespace in js code) as well as a CSS shrinking tool (which accomplishes the same goal ad the JS counterpart).
As for my layout, I've widened the website to 1000px, because how many people actually use monitors with a resolution less than that anymore? Even the new netbooks output wider res!
I've finally had some inspiration for a nice looking navigation too! I felt there is no need for the links to Tensioncore and Tensioncore.org as they were redundant anyways since they are on my sidebar already.
Finally the dreaded list of things todo is getting more realistic and my blog is starting to fall into my vision for creating a freeware blog project.
I intend to add some core functionality as: multiple picture uploading, possible fckeditor/tinymce post composing, directory listing with file edit capabilities, a php code shrinking page, and lastly on the major projects is to make a Blackberry App allowing you to post right from your berry without the use of a web browser!
I've already added some good code such as Image editing, post editing as well as some nice social bookmaking links on individual post pages.
Yesterday marked our first (and very successful) formal business trip. The trip consisted of Tom (my business partner in Tensioncore Design Studios), Janice (girlfriend/contributor) and myself.
We did a day trip to Victoria, traveling via Pacific Coach lines from Downtown Vancouver to Downtown Victoria. The trip started at about 2am when we had to take a nightbus from New Westminster to Downtown Vancouver in order to be there for a 5:30am boarding.
The traveling portion of the trip consisted of the bus going to Tsawassen for the first ferry at 7am, then from Swartz Bay to Victoria by 9:30am.
The ferry was smooth sailing and we actually arrived in Victoria at 9:15am. After a detour to the mall for coffee we had officially started our day in Victoria!
The intention of the trip was to take photos for design reference, as well as to develop the main storyline/plot of the game.
Over lunch at the mall we essentially flushed out the entire storyline of the game including the 2 main characters (yes I said 2), including all of the major details of the game which will set ours apart from the competition.
By the end of our day the trip was hugely successful including me taking almost 600 photos, a tour of Parliament, all of our main characters main locations were idealized, and a few major points of the game had been established.
We took a personal detour around 4pm to Beacon Hill and the beautiful shoreline and some nice pictures.
By 5 we were very happy with our accomplishments and we decided to call the day 2 hours early and opt to take the 5:45pm Bus back to Vancouver instead of the 7:45pm.
Its time the unnamed proof of concept game I've been working on for years be developed.
The project has a new team (for now), and with this team I will make the game finally happen.
The project is being brought back from the dead as business with our Web Hosting is starting to speak for itself. Unlike previously stated, we will continue to use the Blender 3D game engine complimented with Python coding run on Windows.
It all officially starts today with what will be my master development plan and timeline.
Hi, this post is going to cover my last month or so and the new fish tank I have.
This post has definitely not gone without some drama. Firstly, I've been meaning to get around to the blog for about 2 or 3 weeks now (and it constantly bogs my mind down when I think about it). Secondly, it's taken time to actually get to where I am now that I can comfortably write a meaningful post on a single subject, and well I could go on but I'm sure you get the picture.
Precisely, my new tank is an All-Glass 150 Gallon (Long) tank, with dimensions (in inches): 72W x 29T x 18D. This thing is made of half inch glass!
My room needed to be in dismay to accommodate the new tank:
The big guy takes up the whole corner of my room!
The tank sat there nicely with it's matching All-Glass lids for a week or so until I was able to finish my custom stand.
I built a custom stand do distribute the weight more evenly onto the floor since the total filled weight of the tank including the tank itself is nearly 1800lbs! Almost a Tonne of water and glass... now if I had a flimsy fish store stand, it would only cover 9 square feet on my floor, or about 200lbs per square foot!
I designed my custom stand to be at least 14 square feet (just a random number) and it ended up a completed size of just over 18 square feet, effectively doubling the square footage of just the tank, and easily halving the pounds per square foot (PSF) of weight to just under 100 PSF!
The stand:
The tank on the stand (empty):
Setting this tank up has been a lengthy process, and expensive process. Totally worth it.
A short break down of costs (not incl. taxes):
• Tank $600
• Matching lids $70
• Rena XP3 Filter about $150
• EHIEM Heater $60
• Wood for stand and a case of beer for my old Boss to use his shop for the weekend: $95 for wood, $25-12/cs btl Heineken
• 3 Bags of GEOSystem Substrate $75
• Flourescent lighting (2 x 36in GLO T5 double light fixtures) $350
• Discomfort during all of this priceless
So, all in all, when its all said and done, just under $1500 before taxes....about $1600 after.
Here's a neat picture (we were enjoying the first filling of the tank during the Canucks game 6 of their first round against LA):
And finally it's permanent resting place (sans-dirt/fish):
I've entirely ignored my blog over the last two months, unintentionally of course, but there's a reason; I've been busy with my business.
Being an entrepreneur is certainly everything proverbs make it out to be. Its a 25 hour a day job. It would benefit from 8 day weeks. It's tiring, but if you're dedicated and true it's 100% worth every late night, every drop of coffee and every penny you put into it.
Personally, I wouldn't trade my decision to start my own business for anything. This year is the start of something big for me. It has come fast, however I was prepared for it.
Tireless nights kept me way from blogging, but now I'm seeing trends in my work habits so I'm going to start working on a schedule. No exceptions. Doing things this way is the only way I will stick to self imposed deadlines as well as deadlines of clients.
And now I find myself amidst my first planned advertising/marketing campaign which will be a month or more of full work days and late nights.
Again, I wouldn't trade it for anything. So as a message to anyone with a good idea, if you are thinking of starting your own business: stop thinking and start it!
Expect consistent postings from me from now on too.
Vancouver is seriously starting to show the level of things with having the Olympics in town this Friday.
We saw a lot of various sources complaining and wasting their energy protesting and overall just whining about the Olympics, but nobody can escape the truth that they are starting on Friday.
Today in The Province news paper reads a headline that all of the normal people already knew about the nay-sayers: cynic has tears come to eyes at opening ceremony rehearsal.
Even the most negative towards these games can see the good in them if they just open their eyes and quit annoying people because they've got nothing better to do.
This is the single most impressive event I've witnessed in my life....and I'm damn proud its happening in the city I was born in!
Look at the pride people have in Canada, and how much people have embraced these games, and they haven't even began. I'm not the only proud Vancouverite.
I may not drive but if I did, I completely understand the road closures and I [i]do feel[/i] for the drivers, but this is NEVER going to happen again, so deal with it, plan a different way to work, take transit, and enjoy it instead of wasting everyone's time and your energy, maybe put that energy towards something useful.
