Better Python Standard Library Autocompletion for Notepad++

Posted: Thursday, 7 July 2016

Download: http://static.extramaster.net/python.xml.zip (476kb download - 3,367kb extracted)
Note that there's 13,563 definitions included, so any application that attempts to parse XML structure will have a bad time.

Before:

After:

Using the Notepad++ "python.xml" generator at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-python/, in conjunction with a script that imports all Python modules: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1206832/importing-the-entire-python-standard-library, on a computer with a fresh Python install, nabs a "python.xml" file with definitions and autocomplete entries for all Python Standard Library modules.

Download: http://static.extramaster.net/python.xml.zip
Or if github gists are your thing: https://gist.github.com/extramaster/9d0b7eba99a9708eb3f71ae95bcd42b5

The "python.xml" file should be placed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs" or "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\APIs", overwriting the pre-installed copy.

In case you want to revert back to the pre-installed "python.xml" file, here's a copy: http://static.extramaster.net/python_original.xml.zip

Here's a list of all of the Python Standard Libraries used in the creation of the autocomplete file:

It is recommended that you only choose the mirrors that are hosted in the country/region closest to you.

Also, have a copy of the mirror list, but instead of it being the latest debian release, point it to an older version.
i.e.
Have both "deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/raspbian/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free rpi"
and "deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/raspbian/raspbian wheezy main contrib non-free rpi"
in the same file.

Don't forget to "apt-get update" after you have modified "/etc/apt/sources.list"!

LG Android QuickMemo+ Location

Posted: Tuesday, 22 September 2015

So, here's the full path to where LG's QuickMemo app stores the "memos" in the Android file system:

/data/data/com.lge.qmemoplus/databases/qmemoplus.db

For a bit of context, I "backed up" my LG QuickMemos from the "storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.lge.qmemoplus" folder (friendly reminder to backup your LG phone with the official LG Bridge app), and started to delete some fairly important notes - or at least, notes that were important - since I had full faith in the back-up safekeeping any residue important information (so much so, in fact, that I cleared my clip tray, and emptied out the inbuilt QuickMemo trash).

Well, it turned out that the folder at "storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.lge.qmemoplus" only contains the following: "Audios, Drawings, Images and Videos" - not the memos itself. And so, with a little bit of digging around the root directory, the actual path of the QuickMemo memo database was found.

Note that you may need root to access this folder (where rooting a LG phone is trivial).

Edit (October 2016)

Root is required to easily access the database file at the specified path.

So either chmod as root (to open the quickmemo database files for use without later root),

or,

su
cp /data/data/com.lge.qmemoplus/databases/qmemoplus.db /storage/emulated/0

An alternative method could be through recovering the LG (G4) Quickmemo+ file from a real backup, although it appears that the backup encrypts, or otherwise hides the database file.

How to fix Microsoft Mobile Mouse Wheel Scrolling problems

Pre-solution

What didn't work

Dealing with the scrolling issues with the Microsoft Mobile 3500 Mouse turned out to be fairly simple, but

After plenty of messy registry hacks
- (changing HCKU\Control Panel\Desktop\WheelScrollLines, HCKU\Control Panel\Mouse keys didn't work)
After plenty of time spent messing around with Control Panel
- The basic "tutorials" only show you how to change the amount of lines scrolled at a time, but does not deal with the problem regarding the mouse scroll wheel sensitivity
After restarting/logging off a few times (logging off is apparently supposed to apply the registry changes that you've made)
And even after re-plugging the nano-transceiver device,

Nothing seemed to work to fix the delayed/slow scrolling with the Microsoft Mouse...

This is the Windows Store app. Or, at least it would be if it worked. For now, it's just a splash screen...

Well, if would still be a splash screen if it wasn't for the fact that after a long wait, an error message appears.

The one I got first was:

We weren't able to connect to the Store. This might have happened because of a server problem or the network connection might have timed out. Please wait a few minutes and try again. (0x80072ee2)

The next attempt in opening the store app resulted in another error:

We weren't able to connect to the Store. This might have happened because of a server problem or the network connection might have timed out. Please wait a few minutes and try again. (0x80190190)

Note how, in both cases, the error code was different...

So if you're currently encountering an error message with the same error codes, then you're in luck, since there is a fix! If the error code and problem is similar (but not exactly the same) then in any case just have a read through and see if your problem gets fixed.

So I recently encountered an interesting issue in Flask, and one that's quite simple to solve, looking at it now.

But Google Chrome returned a "Failed to load response data" message, when preforming a 301 redirect in Flask...

Introduction

So we all know Python. Its a fun extension to the C language (Read: a language built on top of C). But one question, is, why can't we compile Python into an exe file, just like with C?

Now Python is an interesting language, in that it is both compiled and interpreted. In fact, there are many different implementations of the language. We have PyPy, on one hand, which does both, IronPython, which is basically a .NET compiler for Python, but the main focus is on CPython - Or what we all know as "Python". CPython is the "main reference implementation" of Python, and is the "Python" that is downloaded at https://www.python.org/.

It's weird to think that "Python" is not just Python, but makes sense considering the fact that Python is open source. A similar comparison between PyPy/IronPython and CPython can be made with JavaScript (js), where js is implemented not as "JavaScript", but as V8, spidermonkey, rhino and much more. We've come a long way from the monopoly that Microsoft has from their own programming languages, C#, VB.net and VBScript.

Google App Engine UTF-8/Ascii Codec Issue

So... Recently, I encountered an error using Google's App Engine SDK for Python.

Posted: Tuesday, 5 August 2014

With VB.net, typically trivial errors are easy to overlook, which complicates the process of software development.

As the title of this post suggests, "Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Byte'." can be caused when you're attempting to use a function that returns a quote unquote "Byte"

This error is quite irritating because, when searched on StackOverflow, it has already been answered!

VB Value of type String cannot be converted to 1 dimensional array of Byte

With decoding base64 to bytes in VB.net, you can use the following function:

Convert.FromBase64String(_string_input_)

... where the error becomes evident

The solution to the "Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'Byte'." error is quite simple.

Just remember to dim the variable of where you are trying to push the resulting bytes to as a byte array type, aka

Dim variable As Byte()

This works as when you're defining the Byte type, you're only really defining a single byte, not an array of bytes. Think of it as defining a string as a character, where the array of bytes (

As Byte()

) is the equivalent to an array of characters (hence, being represented else-wise as a string)

Remove Blogger's redirection notice when using Cloudflare

Posted: Wednesday, 7 May 2014

What could be more irritating about the fact that you receive a rather threatening and suspicious message from Blogger stating that your legacy Blogger url can no longer automatically redirect to your new domain?

Going through checks and such to attempt to resolve the issue, you end up pretty much at a dead end. Until you realise that Cloudflare is messing up with Blogger's domain detection system.

But what about Cloudflare? Cloudflare proxies data over to your visitor, and does so indiscriminately, in such that Blogger's fraud domain/moved blog detection system cannot distinguish a difference between the Blogger page pointed by Cloudflare or an entirely different domain.

But fixing this issue, and hence removing Blogger's redirection notice: "This blog is not hosted by Blogger and has not been checked for spam, viruses and other forms of malware." is simple.

Step 1:

Manage your DNS for the domain in question from Cloudflare

Step 2:

Scroll down to the subdomain that contains the CNAME entry of your blogger page

Step 3:

Click on the cloud icon as shown on the above image, to disable the features of Cloudflare blocking Blogger from detecting your domain properly

Step 4:

Save the changes, by clicking on "I'm done entering my DNS records".

And that's it! In next to no-time, Blogger will acknowledge these changes and you'll be redirected automatically...

Shutdown Timer

Posted: Saturday, 22 March 2014

Application to shutdown your Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 computer after a predefined amount of time. So that you can allow your computer to upload files, leave and have it shutdown automatically.

It's better then using CMD to blindly time a shutdown time.
There's no ads, virus, malicious software, and the program is both lightweight and portable, being a simple program.

So here it is:

Convert image to BMP

Posted: Wednesday, 19 March 2014

Recently, I got sick and tired of having to go through the process of downloading programs full of bloat and "full version" ad messages, along with other things - just to have a simple program that converts image files into BMPs.

But I also didn't just want any regular program, I didn't want to see a fully featured, super cooked "additional features" program, I wanted simple a drag and drop program that gets the job done on thousands of images.

So instead of downloading freeware programs loaded with toolbars, adware and all the other junk, and instead of loading the images one-by-one into Microsoft Paint and converting them all manually, I created a simple program that you can just drag, drop and have a bitmap image from common image formats.

I don't claim to have created a program that can convert millions of image formats to bitmap, just common formats: .jpg, .png and .gif* all seem to work fine.

There's no ads, virus, malicious software, and the program is both lightweight and portable, being a simple program.

So here it is:
Download:
http://static.extramaster.net/imagetobmp.html (2018 edit: looks like what was once detected as a perfectly clean file is now suddenly detected as a false positive malware, aw well, I should've open sourced the software on day-one, but then it would compile to the same binary and still be considered malware)

MD5: 9EEE1A103D38B1085F0CFB0B74317B6A
SHA-256: 1B5B3D233393D76493B1C0519CEF92492C3C0F0279D9755619A348A5F7B0FD2A

Note:
This .net program requires .net v4 or higher.
The program is not malicious and does not contain any toolbars, adware, or malware. It's only 33,280 bytes (~33kb if you're uncertain of the notation), so it's extremely lightweight and easy to download. And it gets the job done.
I do not keep track of anything that happens to that program (it does not auto-update, no data gets sent to any website, etc.), so as a simple disclaimer, I am not responsible for what "image to bitmap" does to your dog, cat, goldfish or horse. Or everything else asides from that...
This program overrides bitmaps that share the same appended name (file name+appended file extension) by default, which shouldn't be a big deal since the file extension is being appended, however if it does become an issue, just uncheck "Override File?"
* With animated .gif files, you only get the first frame as a bitmap, with normal .gif files, you get what you'd expect as a bitmap.

YouTube Downloader

Posted: Wednesday, 29 January 2014

The juicy bit

There's nothing much to say about this tools asides from the fact that it's located here:
http://www.extramaster.net/tools/youtubeDownloader/

Brief

But it's just a simple and clutter free alternative to all the ad-filled online youtube downloader tools out there..
Just enter a YouTube link, submit, and click on your favourite video format. and it's downloaded!

An easier way

If you're using a browser with a bookmark bar, drag the following link into it and launch the bookmark in a YouTube video page.
YT Download

Regarding 1080p

Youtube changed the way they deliver videos for 1080p videos and up, which is a shame if you need to download high quality public domain videos, but hey, there's always vimeo for that!

Problem Reporting

Report any issues at @extramaster, and include the youtube url in question.

deMobilify

Recently, I got sick of having to deal with mobile webpages when I bookmarked a link on my phone to read on a desktop computer.
The interface works well on mobile where you've got low screen estate, but on a desktop computer, mobile websites are absolute torture!!

Fortunately, sites like vimeo and youtube automatically deal with the smartphone vs desktop issue and redirect you to your correct destination, but how about Wikipedia?
Sites that refuse to give in and automatically redirect you to your desired non-mobile website are annoying.

and this Google Chrome extension seeks to solve that.

It works passively in the background; no data is transmitted when using this extension and you have pretty much nothing to lose when installing it.

And allows you to make full use of the desktop versions of websites, and not plain old crappy mobile websites..

Install it here! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/demobilify/bpipmbekabalflpojmlifpoelndhfhpe

If you've ever used Ubuntu with VMware and have been consistently frustrated by the amount of lag that comes with each and every incremental distribution (as a result of additional features added into Ubuntu, such as the eye-candy UI, Unity), then fear not, here's a few simple way to solve the issue of lag regarding virtualized usage of Ubuntu:

Posted: Saturday, 14 September 2013

If you're just using your computer and you run into a bit of lag whilst changing a song or while you're just browsing the internet, and open up task manager to investigate the issue, just to see a program called "agent.exe" hog some cpu.
Then the best way to solve this issue is to either uninstall DragonNaturally Speaking, or by taking the recommended route of blocking it within your Firewall...

The program can be found at these paths:

C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet\Connect\11\agent.exe
C:\Program Files\FLEXnet\Connect\11\agent.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\UpdateService\agent.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\InstallShield\UpdateService\agent.exe

Block those files from accessing the internet from your Firewall and you're all set... No more lag!
