Worked on my printers yesterday

at my home i have about 5 printers that i use. one for each computer. And one copier i just got from a hospital that was upgrading everything. So after about a week i decided i wanted to hook this copier up tot he network and use it as a shared printer. After countless hours of digging on the interwebs i found the proper program for printing to this copier. Toshiba Viewer. So i took one of the old machines i got from the hospital, formatted it, put some more ram in it and installed xp on it. Hooked it up to the network and ran a parallel cable to the copier. But that wasn't enough. My place is pretty big so we have two routers here. Some of the computers downstairs are not in the same wourkgroup as the ones closer to the copier which made things a bit harder. This led me back to the Internets to do some more searching for a possible solution. First there was Printer anywhere, which seemed ok but the only thing is that it always prints a cover page with a big ad on it and was just a waste. SO my next stop was a blog that talked about how to do it with dropbox. At first i was pretty surprised to learn this but hey it seemed pretty solid. So i went ahead and set it up. After setting it up it worked like a charm. All i is a vb script that monitors a folder in your dropbox, and as soon as a new file is put in there it sends it to the copier. This was working great till i realized dropbox does not yet support emailing attachments. This again led me to the internet for help. Where i found sites like airdropper and sendtodropbox.com. But they would only work with their folders and i need something to upload to the printQueue folder in my dropbox. The i came across MailDrop. Its a application you download which monitors your gmail inbox for any files with the label you specify then download and uploads the attachment to the folder of your choice on dropbox. And overall this was the best solution.

Site update today

worked on my website a bit today. Up until recently i have been pretty bad with keeping up with the account activations. I use to have to manually set up each persons blog and status update page. I did it that way because in the beginning I never thought it would have more than like five people. But i was proved wrong after about the first month. But never took action on it. so i just let the accounts keep piling up until i got feed up with them and decided it was time to automate the process. And thank god i did. So now that its automated i went back and set up the other twenty accounts i had missed. So now that that is all done i can take a step back and look at my greatest web accomplishment. My site. Honestly i cant believe i built it from the ground up. Its nothing professional and im sure if a real coder got behind the wheel of it they would laugh their ass off at it but im proud of it. Coming in knowing only html, and now just look at it. Best $10 investment i ever made lol

Not too much android wise today but

I did get some stuff done around the house. I recently aquired some old computer stuff from a local hospital that was upgrading its systems. One nifty item was a toshiba estudio20. Which I have been working on the past few days to get it working as a copier/fax/network printer. Took some time and some help from various web sources but I got it finally working the way god intended it to lol. So now I can rest peacefully.

Just beat mafia 2

And I have to say im pretty happy with it. Feel real bad for joe and I think they should have had Vito do something like stand up for him or something. But all in all it was pretty good. Also no free roam when you beat the game :(. There is a good moral in this game thought. Being a made man isn't always what it cracks up to be. Corny I know but I felt it needed to be said. Now onto some bigger news. I posted earlier about a massive improvement to how my site works. Before people would have to wait hours before they could fully utilize their accounts on my site. But that is no more. It is now completely automated. Thanks to the good people over at dream.in.code who helped me get it all straitend out. Thanks guys. Now go check it out and ill see you next blog post. Lol.

Pretty big update to my site

For me it is anyway lol. Before today i had to manually setup everyone's accounts. I had to setup the status system and the blog system. and it was a bit tedious. More of a pain. But now i have it all set up to do it automatically. It took me some time but i got it! Thank god. That's one less thing i have to do now lol. So if you haven't registered on my site, go check it out at http://cmoney12051.com and i'll see you there.

It is done...

I finally finnished it. The Spiceworks Mobile Companion app is now officially on the market and SlideMe.org. It took some time to work out the last few tiny bugs but i got it. Now its nothing really special but i figure its better than nothing, And its free so no one should complain lol. Check out the screen shots below and look it up in the market under Spiceworks Mobile Companion by Cmoney12051

Almost productive day

Well I guess it was kinda productive today. I got all my laundry done, did all my errands for the day, got some stuff done for work, and even cleaners the place up quite a bit. Only thing I didn't do was work on any of my apps. I really gotta do some work on them tomorrow. Also squeezed in some Mafia 2. And donnie, I promise I will get to your app first thing in the morning. Right now im exhausted.  Sorry man. Just hang in there.

Ok so i was lazy yesterday

yesterday all i did after i got home from work was play mafia II on the xbox. Lol i couldn't help it i got it on Wednesday and have been dieing to play it. So i took this opportunity to do so. So hopefully i can get some more work done on the spiceworks app this weekend. Maybe even release it to the market. Fingers crossed!

Busy day today

Unfortunately I haven't had any time for android development yet today because I've been too busy doing this. Took me 8 hrs. But its done thank god. Two colors white and metalic grey.

Shrt update

Just wanted to say im still working on my spiceworks app. Havent forgotten about it, or my mmorpg game. I was just too busy yesterday to work on it. And it looks like I may not be able to work on it again till friday or Saturday. So just hang in there and ill get it out asap

New app inventor tutorial!

This one is about signing a package for market upload. Check out my website http://cmoney12051.com for more app inventor tutorials

Started work on my spiceworks app.

Its coming along very well so far. It is basically just a bookmark to the site but it saves some info and steps for you.

Just had a great idea for a spiceworks android app!

I've been using spiceworks for some time now and have always wanted a mobile app, but never thought to look for one. So today I went and did a little perusing for one. And to my astonishment,  none exist. I found posts saying some where under development but no actual app. So I think tonight I will work on one. Only problem is it will most likely be just a mobile link. My programming capabilities are severely lacking and im really only good at small things and using app inventor. So im going to fiddle with it tonight and post some results in the morning. Now don't expect a full fledged thing cause I saw that spiceworks is working on an iphone app so the android app can't be too far behind. But I just can't wait any longer. So ill mess with it tonight and get some results for you in the morning. Hopefully I can make this into something really good thays not just a link the the mobile site. Hopefully.

Its been a while. I guess its time for an update lol.

Alright well its been almost a while year since my last post. Not too bad I guess lol. Alot has happpened since then. A few new phones and a couple of website updates later. Basically since then I have taken up android development using googles app inventor. Its actually very cool. So I went and made a few cool apps then figured out how to upload the apps to the market. So check me out on the market for my apps under cmoney12051. Also check out the updates I have done to my website at http://cmoney12051.com. currently im working on a pretty big app for android with app inventor. Im calling it cmoneys mmorpg. And basically it is a 2d mmorpg that I've been working on with app inventor. Now its obviously not going to live up to pocket legends but I hope to just show what app inventor can do if you get really creative with it. I have a very tiny demo on the market for free download. Its really just a prof of concept demo. It let's two people connect and fight. They can also enter and exit an empty shop. In the full versions which I will hopefully be releasing soon I plan on having a few more "worlds" and whatnot. Some npcs and quests. So just hang in there and check out my apps and site. I will also be putting up a few screen shots of the mmorpg soon. See you all later!
