1. Edit the console settings file at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Console2\console.xml or %APPDATA%\Console\console.xml.
2. Replace the <colors> ... </colors> section with the following:

   <colors>
      <color id="0" r="7" g="54" b="66"/>         <!-- black -->
      <color id="1" r="38" g="139" b="210"/>      <!-- blue -->
      <color id="2" r="133" g="153" b="0"/>       <!-- green -->
      <color id="3" r="42" g="161" b="152"/>      <!-- cyan -->
      <color id="4" r="220" g="50" b="47"/>       <!-- red -->
      <color id="5" r="211" g="54" b="130"/>      <!-- magenta -->
      <color id="6" r="181" g="137" b="0"/>       <!-- yellow/brown -->
      <color id="7" r="238" g="232" b="213"/>     <!-- white -->
      <color id="8" r="0" g="43" b="54"/>         <!-- brblack -->
      <color id="9" r="131" g="148" b="150"/>     <!-- brblue -->
      <color id="10" r="88" g="110" b="117"/>     <!-- brgreen -->
      <color id="11" r="147" g="161" b="161"/>    <!-- brcyan -->
      <color id="12" r="203" g="75" b="22"/>      <!-- brred -->
      <color id="13" r="108" g="113" b="196"/>    <!-- brmagenta/violet -->
      <color id="14" r="101" g="123" b="131"/>    <!-- bryellow -->
      <color id="15" r="253" g="246" b="227"/>    <!-- brwhite  -->
   </colors>
   

3. Restart Console2.

Colors in vim look good:

Cygwin ls colors are a bit odd compared to other platforms:

1. Open a 32-bit Command Prompt (C:\Windows\SysWow64\cmd.exe).
2. Run VCVARS32.BAT
   • VS2010: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"
   • VS2008: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"
3. Set the target processor to x86 (set DETOURS_TARGET_PROCESSOR=X86).
4. Build Detours using nmake.

Simply put, BEGIN_COM_MAP implements _InternalQueryInterface. COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY indicates that your class supports the specified interface. END_COM_MAP finishes the _InternalQueryInterface implementation.

Note: A QueryInterface implementation which calls this _InternalQueryInterface method must either be hand-coded, or supplied by CComObject, CComAggObject, etc.

For example:

class MyClass :
    public CComObjectRoot,
    public ISomeInterface
{
public:
    BEGIN_COM_MAP(MyClass)
        COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(ISomeInterface)
    END_COM_MAP()
};

CComClass myInstance = new CComClass;

The COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY line indicates that MyClass implements ISomeInterface. If QueryInterface is called to requests an ISomeInterface pointer, the call will succeed. Without the COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY line, the QueryInterface call would fail.

A temporary fix is to change the IM font to Arial Unicode MS, which may have to be enabled from the control panel. Here are the steps:

1. In the Skype menu, select Tools | Options, then click on “IM & SMS”, then “IM appearance”:
   

   

   
   

2. Click on “Change font” to bring up the font dialog:
   

   

   
   

3. If “Arial Unicode MS” is available, select it, click OK, then Save, and you’re done.

   If “Arial Unicode MS” is not available, then click “Show More Fonts” to bring up the Control Panel’s Font selector:

   

   
   

4. Locate “Arial Unicode MS”, click on it to select it, then click on “Show” in the toolbar. Close the Fonts window (click the red X). You will have to close the Font dialog as well, then reopen it, in order for the Arial Unicode MS font to be displayed.
   

   

If the #2 Google suggestion is “your product sucks”, you can take it as strong evidence that you’ve made a poor product development decision.

Personally, I’m rolling my virtual machine back to a prior snapshot.

From the main screen:

• Press the menu button
• Select Settings
• Select Wireless & Networks
• Scroll to the bottom of the menu and select Mobile Networks
• Make sure “Data Enabled” has a green check mark next to it

Virgin Mobile USA (i.e. Sprint) was unable to solve this after three phone calls over the course of a day. Their technical support script jumps straight into cellular network settings and battery removal.

I was able to successfully create an account with Virgin Mobile in the desired area code. However, the payment was rejected. One possible reason is that Virgin Mobile may not be able to process a credit card with an expiration date so far in the future. The initial payment form used a text field for expiration year, so I could enter anything I wanted. When I revised my payment method, the web form only allowed selection up to, I believe, 2016. After I changed my payment method to a different, real credit card, the account was activated (though I still had problems with the phone being activated on the network).

So, first off, I’m pretty sure you could get the Virgin Mobile phone number in any area code you want, anyway, because the first step in their registration process asks your zip code. Billing is done at a later point in the process, with its own zip code field. Second, Vanilla Visa cards claim they can be used online, but since they have expiration dates far in the future, the website you want to buy from may not be set up to process them correctly. Basically, the entire process was interesting, but a waste of time.

At some point, it might be fun to try again using a pseudonym. When the online payment fails, one could call and attempt to resolve the payment over the phone. The effort involved would quickly exceed my interest in anonymity, but it might be a fun exercise.

1. Install the Android SDK.
2. Add the Android SDK’s Platform Tools directory to your path (so that you can run the adb tool).
   • Click Start
   • Right click on Computer, select Properties from the menu
   • Click Advanced System Settings on the left
   • Click Environmental Variables
   • Double-click on PATH in the User Variables list, append a semicolon and the Android SDK Platform Tools folder (e.g. “;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools”)
3. Install the ADB driver for your device.
   • If you have a Google device (e.g. Nexus One), install the Google ADB driver.
   • If you have a non-Google device (e.g. LG Optimus V), search for “[your device brand and product name] adb driver”, which should turn up the necessary driver. Using the example of the LG Optimus V (VM670 aka LG LGP500), the LG Mobile Support Tool must be installed (be prepared for a uniquely awful user interface).
4. On your Android device, go to Settings | Applications | Development. Enable USB debugging. You might as well enable the other two options, as well.
5. Plug in your Android device.
6. Create and compile an Android project. Locate the .apk file, which will be in your project’s bin directory.
7. Open a command prompt and type, adb install pathToYourPackage.apk. If you have an emulator running, you may need to tell adb to only reference the USB device with the -d switch.

   Incidentally, I had some trouble getting my PC to recognize the Android over USB initially. It took a few minutes for me to realize that the power adapter for my USB hub had come unplugged.
