  • Fighting Git with many tools

    So I decided to create a branch in Git to implement a nice new feature and after about a week or so, I get to a section of code that was shared with my cohort and course changes were made that I wanted. So I figured, “This is what Git is good at, right?” In…

  • Javascript is Evil – Curly brace indentation

    So I’m building a little DurandalJS SPA (single page app) test site tonight and while building the view model I do what I’ve typically done in the past when I run into Java curly brace convention, which is to plop that sucker down to the next line a la default VS C# convention. Little did…

  • Wix Windows Service – Start on install

    So I was building a wix setup project for a windows service and kept running into a wall while getting the service to start after a successful install. It kept giving me an error “Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services”. I searched through nearly 50 articles that led me on a…

  • Android Studio – Local path doesn’t exist

    Playing with Android Studio again tonight and my little Facebook test app, I received an annoying error that I thought was resolved by cleaning the project and importing it fresh again. Sadly, the error came back again Uploading file local path: D:\Ninjacrab\Projects\FacebookTesterProject\FacebookTester\build\classes\debug\FacebookTester.apk remote path: /data/local/tmp/com.ninjacrab.facebooktester Local path doesn’t exist. When I review the file system…

  • Facebook connecting Android App

    Well since Random coding didn’t happen, I decided to move to another hobby project which was creating an Android activity that would connect to Facebook, get me an identity so that I could use it to handle Authentication for Conflicademia. I don’t personally care about managing accounts and I was thinking of some other distraction…

  • Random Coding 3 didn’t happen… yet!

    Well, I was diligently playing with Nuget packaging and hoping to make a video where I create a Nuget package that hosts the VSIX that I created in random coding two. However, it seems as though Nuget doesn’t support installing a VSIX, item templates or project templates. I then sat back and thought “Unpossibleh!!!” I’m…

  • OAuth hath defeated me

    Well to set the story straight, OAuth in conjunction with WebAPI. I’m trying to build the backend services for Conflicademia now and I figured that it’d be a great time to learn OAuth, Asp.Net Mvc Web API, Mongo and all that integration with Mono and Unity. Building a basic Asp.Mvc site with Facebook OAuth integration…

  • I’m still alive!

    Well, there have been some big changes in my career recently and so the game as well as the coding YouTube videos have been put on hold. Things are finally starting to settle down and I’ll be able to put some weekend time again on these and hopefully the one or two web crawlers that…

  • Confuzzled…

    So I was preparing materials for my “Random Coding 3” video episode and this time the subject was relating to Conflicademia in regards to the loading performance of Android and how to optimize your build in Unity so that the game has reasonable loading performance. However, as I was prepping my material and generating the relevant…

  • Tutorial level is almost complete!

    Oh man, I’m so sleepy it almost hurts. Every heart beat seems to be jolting my chest. Regardless, I really wanted to make some serious progress on the game tonight. The tutorial level is mostly complete, the left over tasks for the tutorial is to show how to transform, show a visual progress indicator of…
