I am pleased to announce the release of a basic class to enable web developers and webmasters to create Intuit Payment Solutions – Hosted PayPage‘s for process credit cards with out the PCI requirments
Pay Pages are good for sites that sell very few things and use things like PayPal’s Buy Now Links, or need a solution to send customers generated invoices with a single “click here to pay” link.
The code as always can be found in our GIT Repos hosted by BitBucket at code.mptechnology.com
I recently had a Hard Drive dropped on my that when loaded in to a PC showed up as a RAW Volume. The person that handed me the drive had drive several local PC shops who wanted a large sum of money to attempt data recovery and various other tasks because they claimed that the actual partitions were unrecoverable.
Google also had very little for this person so they came to me to see if there was anything I could do.
I have recovered many NTFS system from RAW state over the years. I will outline method that anyone with basic understanding of the command line can try to recover a NTFS file system from RAW.
One of the most common symptoms is when you connect a USB Drive, windows detects the drive, but never puts any accessible volumes in to “My Computer” if this happens most likely the NTFS File System was lost/corrupted
First you have to find/assign a drive letter to the Volume
Open up cmd.
Type “diskpart” press enter
This will drop you in to the built in Windows Disk Partitioning tool
Then type “list volume”
This will output a list of all volumes on disk. You should see the one your looking for. Fastest way to locate it is by Size, you should know what size the volume your trying to recover is.
if there is a drive letter assigned to the volume, in the ltr column, note it and skip to running CHKDSK.
If not type in “select volume X” replacing X with the number of volume you want to recover, press enter
then type “assign letter z” (or any other unused letter” press enter
type “exit” and press enter to leave diskpart
RUNNING CHKDSK
Now that we have a drive letter we can run CHKDSK
From the command line type in “chkdsk /f z:” and press enter.
Watch as Windows repairs the file system
When done either use Computer Management -> Disk Manager to re scan the disks, or safley remove the USB Device and then reconnect it.
Sublime 2 is IMO the best text editor I have ever use. Currently there is no repo support for most distributions of linux and the few unofficial repos there are, are not maintained very well.
This guide will help you install Sublime 2 Manual on most Distro’s, but for my purposes I am using Fedora 17 with Gnome3. If your using a different Distro the steps will be the same, but you may have to adjust the filesystem locations.
Step 1: Download the tar file
Step 2: Pick a location in your file system for the application, I have a special directory for non-repo installs I use /home/program. my /home is on a separate drive from the rest of the file system
Step 3: extract the sublime tar file to this location
Step 4: (optional) rename the “Sublime Text 2″ folder to “sublime”
Step 5: run command
$ sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/sublime.desktop
Step 6: Paste the following in to the new Gedit Windows
[Desktop Entry] Name=Sublime Text 2 GenericName=Text Editor Comment=Edit text files Exec=/home/programs/sublime/sublime_text %U Terminal=false Type=Application StartupNotify=true MimeType=text/plain; Icon=accessories-text-editor Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;TextEditor; X-GNOME-FullName=Sublime 2 Text Editor Actions=Window;Document; Icon=/home/programs/sublime/Icon/128x128/sublime_text.png
Step 7: Save and Close
That should be it, Sublime should now be in your Applications Menu, and you should be up and running
I know it has been a long time since I posted anything here.
From Jan on I have been VERY busy, which is both good and bad.

In 2009/2010 before MP Technology Group was even a Brand I operated Cyclone Software Solutions as a part time venture. I have not told this story publicly before, but after reading some reports and being contacted by several people I felt it was time to tell the world what happened between me and Reynolds Metering Services, LLC my former employer.

In this week Tech Talk I am going to focus on the proper way to transfer a live website from one host to another. I hear horror stories all the where even “hosting companies” do not do it properly. I am going to assume you do not have access to, or want to use a Control Panel migration like cPanel or Interworx, If you have those system see their instructions for moving, referring here for DNS changes and Register Changes only.
The first thing you should be aware of is that moving a site is a multiple day process in order to ensure proper and limited or no service interruption. Continue reading
