Published on May 12, 2016 Author JFLeave a comment

It’s pretty amazing that Facebook would reveal this, but due to an apparent accusation that they trend to “liberal” causes they released their one thousand plus list of sites they pay attention to for trending information.

Xiaomi Yi Focus Fix

Published on April 3, 2016 Author JFLeave a comment

I finally decided to see if I could improve my Xiaomi Yi’s focus. There are many reports of them being sold as selfie cameras more than landscape cameras. I found this to be true.

Published on March 5, 2016 Author JF2 Comments

Everything is in flux. DJI keeps bringing out some pretty amazing plug and play products while 3D Robotics tries to catch up (update: they are basically out of the consumer done business).

3DRobotics Pixhawk Connectors and Cables

Published on February 28, 2016 Author JFLeave a comment

For you all you Pixhawk people out there. 3DR no longer sells parts (or, they have some) as they’ve left manufacturing exclusively to third parties like HobbyKing, whom 3DR approves of. Do note that they’re working on an official Pixhawk 2 (or whatever it’s name will be)! In the meantime (and for a long while… Continue reading 3DRobotics Pixhawk Connectors and Cables →

Here are my (scary) thoughts (note: I am generally paranoid about how people want to hack into e-comm systems that I am responsible for building, so I always think about these kinds of extremes): IMPORTANT: if you do register, make sure to protect your registration number. Hide in within your drone and keep your certificate… Continue reading FAA UAS/DRONE registration thoughts →

You need to be compliant or risk fines and penalties that cannot be offset by gains without it. Your… Continue reading This page can’t be displayed – TLS 1.0 and Internet Explorer →

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of +Drupal

Published on November 5, 2015 Author JFLeave a comment

This post is not about adding memory in php.ini or .htaccess or settings.php in Drupal. You might be getting the Fatal Error because of URL redirects causing infinite loops induced by running database update scripts! But, here’s the skinny on adding more memory accessible by Drupal.
