Changing Page Name on Facebook

Just noticed that Facebook has changed their policy on changing fan page name from 100 likes to 200 likes. Surely I can’t change the name of my company fan page name as we have over 500 likes but seems Facebook is listening to the HUGE requests of changing page name.

However, if you click the FAQ link from the question mark, you will find that Facebook still having the old answer of 100 likes limit.

Of course I clicked “No” to the “Was this answer helpful?” question as my company has changed name to Creativewroks Group Limited in March officially but there is no way for us to change the page name to our name company name. We have tried sending requests without any response from Facebook and searching on the web and see a lot of people wanting this feature. Although we all don’t understand how Facebook keep this act while the other social networking platforms like Twitter, Linkedin let us change names, nothing we can do now. We can just wait…

“Still waiting for boot device” while installing Lion on PC

I install OSX Lion on a PC today again for a new staff. Here is the configurations.

CPU: Intel i3-2100
Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-USB3-B3

I have been installing Snow Leopard and Lion to the same CPU and motherboard for many times but never find any problem. I followed iBoot+Multibeast or Andyboot or rBoot but all failed. I then tried iAtkos L2 and hope it will install Lion directly with the boot disc but also failed. All DVD can’t boot and stopped at

“Still waiting for boot device”

This is strange as it can’t boot even if I unplugged all harddrive and leave the DVD drive alone.

I finally found the problem! The harddrive and the DVD drive were both connected to GSATA ports. Mac doesn’t support GSATA by default and they all doesn’t boot correctly. Switch them back to SATA port and everything is fine.

Web developers have been waited for a long long time for this big news! Google has just announced the Google+ API is now available. Developers can now visit

https://developers.google.com/+/api/

to try out the API. This initial API release is focused on public data only — it lets you read information that people have shared publicly on Google+. Google will of course continue to announce new APIs when it comes to ready.

Here is the message to developers.

Greetings developers,

Thank you for showing your interest in the Google+ platform on our developer interest form. We promised to let you know when we had more details to share. Well, that time has come…

Today, we’re launching the first of the Google+ APIs. This initial API release is focused on public data only — it lets you read information that people have shared publicly on Google+. Read our blog post for more details.

Also, we’re happy to introduce a new Google+ developers site. This will be the place to go for our policies, terms, discussions with other developers, access to documentation, tools that make development on the Google+ platform easier and more fun, and of course, the place where announcements concerning new releases will be made.

We’re looking forward to seeing what you build with the API. Today is just the beginning, and your work will affect what comes next, so go ahead and get started.

Happy coding!

Firefox 5 is Released. Update your Firebug.

Firefox 5 has just released. Please update if you dare to try the latest features.

As usual for all major updates, most Add-ons are incompatible with the latest version. One of the developer must-have Add-on, Firebug 1.7.3, is incompatible with Firefox 5. You need to install Firebug 1.8 beta to work on Firefox 5. Firebug 1.8 is compatible with Firefox 4-7. So it should even work with the latest nighty build.

Installing new Android SDK on Titanium Mobile

I recently updated the Android SDK Tools but found that I couldn’t create new project in Titanium Mobile. Titanium Developer blames me that I don’t have “adb” installed in “tools”.

Clearly Titanium haven’t updated to match the latest structure of Android SDK. To solve this, just create a symbolic link to let Titanium Developer.

For Mac and Linux users, change your directory to “android-sdk-mac-x86/tools” and do the following.

ln -s ../platform-tools/adb adb

Then a link is created and pointing to the correct file.

For Windows users, please following the post from

Yahoo! is going to shut down Delicious. Yes! This is real. It’s not a joke. As a tiny little user, we can’t change the fact. What we can do is to export our bookmarks and wait for the death of delicious.com. Matt Crampton has posted an export tool on his blog. Just go there and save your valuable bookmarks.

What a shame that there is no announcements on delicious.com and no notification to any delicious users. We all just do what we supposed to do with delicious to reveal this, bookmark and tag the news. This has become the first bookmark on delicious.com.

RIP…
