css display

Typically I just design and go... but dammit sometimes you have to do things for specific browsers. Whenever I run into an issue with the "display" property and it's browser-specific, I go to this page. It tells you all the compatibility differences between browsers and this wonkey css style.

android adb missing flash_image

I was updating one of our android dev phones today and found i couldn't flash a recovery ROM because i was constantly getting the error "flash_image not found"

and here's the fix! http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/RE-recovery-img

android + Cisco VPN

We have a normal Cisco VPN at my work. After upgrading my device to 1.6 (Donut) I noticed there are new VPN settings you can use to connect your wireless. The four that are offered currently are PPTP, L2TP, L2TP/IPSec PSK, and L2TP/IPSec CRT

UNFORTUNATELY we use a standard IPSec over TCP or UDP, and it doesn't use the PSK or CRT file. I need to manually input the groupID and whatnot.

SO, after some googling I found get-a-robot-vpnc which seems to address my issue.

I also found this post and from all I can tell, it has successfully worked for some people.

BUT my device isn't giving me any such love. My current error reads:

D/vpnc service( 5587): Attempt to read vpnc process id did not return anything

we'll see how far I get on this problem. My guess is it's a permissions problem that will be easily solved...

blogger and andriod

so far, no love for an android app that will post to blogger.

the most i can find is http://mobile.blogger.com which seems to require SMS or MMS

cyanogenmod and memory

i was running into memory problems with my android dev phone.
easy enough to fix: just cleared out my Dalvik cache after upgrading to a new cyanogenmod on my ADP1

adb remount
adb shell rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/*
