Kingdom Death Kickstarter

Alright, I must admit it. I LOVE the world Adam Poots has created in Kingdom Death. I have a huge collection of the miniatures. Yes I use to bitch about the costs but lets face it...KD is definitely worth it.

Anyway to get to the point Mr. Poots just lunched a kickstarter for Kingdom death. Do it or you suck, end of story.

Windows Family Safety and Installing Programs Remotely

Alright so Family Safety is cool for monitoring your kids, but what if you are away and they need to install something? It doesn't put up a request for permission thing, so you can just do it through EasyConnect option in remote assistance. (Access Remote Assistance by typing in Remote in the search bar of the start menu and it comes up)

Anyway the problem with doing it this way is that the Admin cannot type anything into the UAC when it pops up. All you have to do is the following so you can remotely type in the password in UAC.

The option you want is this:
User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop  

but when I searched for it, it only appeared under Windows GPO settings for Windows Server. You can remotely do it with the registry.

type in regedit in the search from the start menu.

Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System : EnableUIADesktopToggle

Then enable it by typing 1. You should now be able to type into the UAC window when helping in Remote Assistance.

Code 800B0100 Windows 7 x64 Windows Update Error

Hi guys,

   So I have got this error twice when updating computers and it is really frustrating. Here is how you can solve it:

1. Either try to use the Fix-it tool here: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/
2. AND/OR try this for Windows Update itself: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=231149

Hope this helps! 

[Constraints 18-5] Cannot loc instance signal is neither single nor differential

If you get the following error:

[Constraints 18-5] Cannot loc instance 'my_signal' at site X#, Site location is not valid 'my_signal' is neither single nor differential.

1. Open XPS, Clean  All Generated Files
2. Do a Design Rule Check
3. Generate Netlist
4. Exit XPS
5. Delete the Top Level in Plan ahead, re create it.

OH. And don't forget to clean and rebuild the BSP, if you are having this problem it is very likely to added some component to the project and it is not appearing in xparameters.h

Good Luck.

WARNING: Pack:2515 - LUT-1 inverter failed to join the OLOGIC comp matched to output buffer

So yea, I do some work with Dev Boards for my research projects.

I ran into this frustrating warning:


WARNING:Pack:2515 - The LUT-1 inverter
   "fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/dvi_reset_n_t1_INV_0" failed to
   join the OLOGIC comp matched to output buffer
   "fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/OBUFT_dvi_reset_n".  This may
   result in suboptimal timing.  The LUT-1 inverter
   fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/fmc_imageov_dvi_out_0/dvi_reset_n_t1_INV_0 drives
   multiple loads.

for multiple pins.

If you get this, you simply need to make sure you don't have any combinatorial logic in the T (enable signal obviously)

First saw something similar here:
http://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Implementation/Pack-2515-XST-kept-optimizing-my-output-enable/td-p/256978

 It really sounds like the enable function itself is not

coming from a register, but from combinatorial logic that can't be pushed into the IOB.  As long

as the output enable comes directly from a register, then pushing it into the IOB should work.

Just make the change and register the signal.

Backup IMAP email to local computer using Outlook 2007

Hmmm.

So back in the day I use to have POP3 which automatically downloads the email from the email server and deletes it on the server leaving only your local copy. Well unfortunately for me the school toasted the POP3 server so I only have IMAP. The problem is my webmail is crappy and now I am running out of space on the server. Here are some quick instructions to back everything up to a local machine with outlook 2007. Also make sure to back up this file!

1. Right Click on your "Personal Folders"
2. Select "New Folder..."
3. Enter the name and leave "Folder Contains" "Mail and Post Items"
4. Now Select the mail in the IMAP email folder (Ctrl-A) or any way you please, "Move to Folder" and select that new folder you made!

Compile Error: relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32

If you get this error do the following:

The error normally occurs when compiling a code whose static data structures exceed 2G in size. If your code requires static data structures in excess of 2G, the code must be recompiled and linked using the medium memory controller model. The flag -mcmodel=medium must be added to all compiler and linker commands.

Kingdom Death - Miniature Review

Okay first I have to say I hate Kingdom Death.... why? BECAUSE ADAM POOTS (owner of KD) MAKES ME BROKE.

Recently, I have pretty much purchased every miniature in the line. They are really expensive. But Really, really cool! I love the ideas and world he is trying to create. The concepts for the miniatures are very dark and twisted!

The Forsaker Pictured Below

The Wet Nurse

So how are the miniatures? Well they are all cast out of resin for the most part (you can get metal versions of some). Very detailed and a lot of fun to paint. They are slightly taller than your standard 28mm or 32mm running at 35mm.

So lets break it down real quick:

Pros -

• Miniatures look awesome.
• Packaging and Presentation is top of the line
• Comes with concept art and collectors cards

Cons -

• A Bunch of the Miniatures are collectors editions at the moment and it is hard to get a hold of them (see the Wet nurse!)
• Expensive (KD Minis run from 25-90$)
• Delicate, I have pretty much broken EVERY weapon that came with the miniature unintentionally. I also had a really bad cast with the pinup forsaker, lower half of her face was missing, but I resculpted it and now it is fine.

Touchpad Won't Turn on

Okay so I had this weird situation where the touchpad would not turn on. Here's the quick fix:

1. Hold the power button down for 20 seconds
2. OR. Hold the power button AND the black button in the middle (Same combination you use to take a screenshot) down for 20 seconds
