			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Facebook recently made it so when you click on a picture you see it in a lightbox. The idea is nice but the execution needs some work. If you would like to go back to seeing pictures normally on their own page follow these easy steps.</p>
<p>1) Click on any picture that you want to see.<br />
2) In the address bar of your browser (where you type in the URLs of websites) go to the end of the current address and delete just the &#8220;&#038;theater&#8221; part.<br />
3) Hit enter and go back to seeing that picture normally.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I spent sometime today trying to compile and then run Java using <a href="http://notepad-plus-plus.org/" target="_blank">Notepad++</a> so I figured that I would write a guide explaining how to do it.</p>
<p><em>For those of you who don&#8217;t know <a href="http://notepad-plus-plus.org/" target="_blank">Notepad++</a> is one of my favorite text editors.</em></p>
<p>Step 1) Download and install the Java JDK from <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html">http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html</a></p>
<p>Step 2) Setup your path variables</p>
<p>Step 2.1) Go to your control panel and search for path</p>
<p>Step 2.2) Click on edit the system environment variables</p>
<p>Step 2.3) Click on environment variables</p>
<p>Step 2.4) Find your path setting</p>
<p><a href="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/edit-path-in-windows-7.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-386" title="edit path in windows 7" src="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/edit-path-in-windows-7.png" alt="" width="443" height="481" /></a></p>
<p>Step 2.5) Click on your path variable and then click on the edit button</p>
<p>Step 2.6) At the end of your path variable add the following: &#8220;;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk%JDK-VERSION%\bin&#8221; where %JDK-VERSION% is your JDK version number. (You can also find this by browsing to c:/program files/java and looking at the folders there)</p>
<p>Step 3) Log off your computer and then log back in. (You can also reboot if you want, but that is unnecessary)</p>
<p>Step 4) Somewhere on your computer make a new text file and add the following to it:</p>
<blockquote><p>
cd /d &#8220;%1&#8243;<br />
javac %2 -Xlint:all<br />
if errorlevel 1 goto finish<br />
java %3<br />
:finish<br />
pause
</p></blockquote>
<p>Step 5) Rename this file to CompileJava.bat (if the file name does not end it .txt before you rename you will need to do <a href="http://www.fileinfo.com/help/windows-show-extensions.html" target="_blank">this </a>first)</p>
<p>Step 6) Copy this file to C:/Program Files/Notepad++</p>
<p>Step 7) Hit the &#8220;F5&#8243; key and type the following into the text field <em>$(NPP_DIRECTORY)\CompileJava.bat &#8220;$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)&#8221; &#8220;$(FILE_NAME)&#8221; &#8220;$(NAME_PART)&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/run-java-from-notepad++.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-387" title="run java from notepad++" src="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/run-java-from-notepad++.png" alt="" width="321" height="205" /></a></em></p>
<p>Step 8 ) Click on save and name the command something like &#8220;CompileJava&#8221;, you can also set up a key command if you like.</p>
<p>Step 9) You can now access your command from the &#8220;Run&#8221; menu</p>
<p><a href="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/run-java-from-notepad++ss.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-388" title="run java from notepad++ss" src="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/run-java-from-notepad++ss.png" alt="" width="371" height="347" /></a></p>
<p>Thats it, your now ready to create and run Java code from Notepad++! One important note though, only Java programs with default package will compile and run.</p>
<h5><em>Cried goes to <a href="http://techtravelthink.blogspot.com/2009/03/java-compile-and-run-in-notepad.html" target="_blank">Tech Travel Think</a> for the .bat code.</em></h5>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So in 2008 I made a post about <a href="http://naterocks.com/2008/10/09/funny-keyboard-short-cuts/">funny keyboard shortcuts</a>. Here is an updated version of that post.</p>
<p>Like the old post these will only work on windows (windows 7 to be more specific).</p>
<p>1) &#8220;Windows Key&#8221; + &#8220;+&#8221; then &#8220;Windows Key&#8221; + &#8220;-&#8221; then &#8220;Ctrl&#8221; + &#8220;Alt&#8221; +&#8221;I&#8221; &#8211; This will invert the colors on the screen.</p>
<p>2) &#8220;Windows Key&#8221; + &#8220;+&#8221; then &#8220;Ctrl&#8221; + &#8220;Alt&#8221; + &#8220;F&#8221; &#8211; This will make it so the screen is magnified.</p>
<p>3) &#8220;Left Alt&#8221; + &#8220;Left Shift&#8221; + &#8220;Num Lock&#8221; &#8211; This will make it so the number pad can move the mouse around. It can be fun to enable this and then play around with the number pad when someone else is using the computer to confuse them.</p>
<p>4) &#8220;Windows Key&#8221; + &#8220;R&#8221; then type in &#8220;shutdown -f -t 0&#8243; &#8211; This will enable you to shutdown the computer quickly. It will also make it so windows won&#8217;t wait for programs to close, it will shutdown right then and there.</p>
<p>5) &#8220;Shift&#8221; then &#8220;Shift&#8221; then &#8220;Shift&#8221; then &#8220;Shift&#8221; then &#8220;Shift- This will turn on &#8220;Sticky Keys&#8221; which will make it so when anyone presses the &#8220;Shift&#8221;, &#8220;Ctrl&#8221;, &#8220;Alt&#8221;, or &#8220;Windows Key&#8221; and then lets go of the key the computer will act as if they are still holding the key down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As part of my summer internship I was given a G1 phone for the summer. Also, I recently was invited to the google voice beta. Naturally I wanted to use google voice on my G1 and thankfully google recently released a G1 app for voice. This guide will walk you through the setup process for a normal google voice user and will also walk you through setting up your phone to use google voice for voicemail only.</p>
<p>1) Go to the android marketplace and search for &#8220;google voice&#8221;</p>
<p>2) After the app installs follow the on screen instructions until you reach this screen:<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-304" title="google_voice_setup" src="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/google_voice_setup.jpg" alt="google_voice_setup" width="320" height="480" /></p>
<p>At this screen, pick the 1st option if you want to use your google voice number as your main number, and pick the other options if you want to keep your current number as your phone number.</p>
<p>3) If you picked the first option in the last step then congratulations, your google voice account is now setup and will act as your voicemail box (go to step 8). If you want to keep your current number as your main number read below.</p>
<p>4) Go to the home screen on your android phone.</p>
<p>5) Hit menu the settings, then go to call settings, the go to call forwarding.</p>
<div id="attachment_305" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 330px"><img class="size-full wp-image-305" title="android-google-voice-2" src="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/android-google-voice-2.jpg" alt="Image from engadget.com" width="320" height="480" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image from engadget.com</p></div>
<p>6) In call forwarding you are going to need to change the bottom 3 settings, when you click them you will see something like VM: +1##########, you want to change all of the #&#8217;s to your google voice number.</p>
<p>7) Go to the google voice website and then go to settings, then enable the &#8220;do not disturb&#8221; setting. </p>
<p>8) Enjoy google voice.</p>
<p>PS: If you do not yet have google voice go to <a href="http://www.google.com/voice">http://www.google.com/voice</a> to request and invite.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really hate it when developers change something when the old system worked just as well if not better than the new one. Mozilla did it when they got rid of the lock icon if FireFox and it looks like google just did when they moved the tabs in iGoogle.</p>
<p>The old iGoogle had tabs at the top of the page, like almost every other website.</p>
<div id="attachment_188" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 360px"><a href="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/igoogleoldedited.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-188 " title="igoogleoldedited" src="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/igoogleoldedited.jpg" alt="old igoogle" width="350" height="93" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Old iGoogle tabs</p></div>
<p> However the new iGoogle has moved the tabs to the side.</p>
<div id="attachment_189" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 170px"><a href="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/igooglenew.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-189 " title="igooglenew" src="http://naterocks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/igooglenew.jpg" alt="New iGoogle" width="160" height="400" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">New iGoogle tabs</p></div>
<p> </p>
<p>If you are like me and want the old tabs back then follow these 3 easy steps&#8230;</p>
<p>1) Go to <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en" target="_blank">http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en</a></p>
<p>2) Click the sign in button in the top right corner and if prompted sign in</p>
<p>3) Enjoy the old iGoogle tabs and update any bookmarks or homepage settings</p>
