node-sass ionic nodejs error fix

Sometimes you go on a bug fixing journey and get no-where. Like always, when I find a solution to a lengthy problem, I write it up so I can remember it later. I had this error show up, after doing an update to the latest version of Ionic, and for over an hour and a...

DOSBOX Autoexec.bat

This took me a while to locate on my computer, but I eventually found it, and I'll share the location and what I've done. The current official wiki is here, but it seems to not reflect my current situation. The settings for me are located here: /Users/stephenmonro/Library/Preferences/DOSBox 0.74 Preferences This is a text file, and...

Ionic Build Scripts

I don't like repetitive manual work, especially if can automate or script it. In honour of that, these are my Ionic build scripts. Enjoy.   Updated: 20200312 I've left all the rubbish workings out in there. Feel free to clean them up as required. To make testing easier on Android, I upload them to Dropbox/Mega...

Directory listing

A part of me feels that the art of command-line usage is leaving us. If you've ever wanted to get a list of files from in a directory and stored in a text file, it's really simple. Just do this. If you are on Windows, open the run box (Windows+R) and type cmd, then enter....

Running Catalina on a MacPro 4,1->5,1

I'll start by saying that I tried, succeeded, and then reverted to High Sierra. This is not a how to guide, as there are plenty of sites dedicated to that, but this is my journey. It started my journey with a new 2TB SSD which I cloned my current OS to. It rebooted fine, and...

Secret menu in an Ionic App

I wanted a way for people to be able to reset the app, kind of for debugging purposes and while a "reset button" works, I don't think it's best to have it public. So, after looking around, I thought that maybe a hold for 5 seconds with a counter would work. However, I came across...

jVectormap the basics

I needed to make a map with some text labels, and it was not an easy feat, as the documentation (while there) is not very clear, and the examples floating around the internet are sketchy at best as well. Here's my little map of Australia. The labels are permanent, and ready to have the JS...

I’m sick of SPAM emails!

Not sure about you, but I get the occasional SPAM email, but in the last several weeks, it's just going stupid. So, if you have CPanel and have horde as your main email program you can run filters to automatically delete these emails. I have the following rule: So far, it's removed the majority of...

APE Tags with taglib-sharp

I've been working on a solution recently to try and read and write data tags from an APE data set in an MP3. This usually works, however, I've discovered a problem with the library I've been using when it's returning incorrect data, of which has been confirmed by a HEX editor. I've been working with...

Fusio

After playing with the Fusio project for a while, and trying it out in probably the most unorthodox way, and trying to read between the lines with the documentation, I've managed to get a list of data from the php_sandbox. For example, this is the php code: <?php $connection = $connector->getConnection('System'); $id = (int)$request->getParameters('user_id'); $another_string...
