Photoshop Kernel Security Check Failure

This error "Kernel Security Check Failure" happens every time I open my Photoshop CC 2015. The screen turns to blue with that error then restarts itself. So I can't use my Photoshop at all.

It is apparently a trending issue and I was lucky enough to find some a solution coming from Adobe forums. No surprise there. 

I don't know how exactly it worked, but it works like a charm and I am lazy enough to find out what the implications after doing the solution. 

So the trick was, browse to where your Photoshop is located, should be something like this path C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 

Then find the file named sniffer.exe. Don't delete the file, just move it somewhere safe for backup. Open  your photoshop again and voilah! No more blue screen of death. 

Redirecting mobile to full site (desktop) view of the page

This redirection process works in .htaccess. What it does is detect the device and redirect the user to the appropriate page.

Place the below code into your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^desktop
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "android|blackberry|googlebot-mobile|iemobile|iphone|ipod|#opera mobile|palmos|webos" [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.example.com/mobile [L,R=302]

Create a link that goes to www.example.com/?desktop

Once user click the links, it will pass the query "desktop" to your .htaccess and it will bypass reading the device. Hope this helps.

Forgot Admin Password for Joomla 1.5

I have a lot of Joomla 1.5 websites that are still active and unfortunately I lost the password on one of them. I'm really bad in password management and if you share the same attitude as mine this easy hack will be of great benefit.

There are other ways I feel more comfortable with this method. This method requires that you still have the login to your server and given that you can still access your database.

Let's say your table prefix is still the default ( jos_ ) find the table jos_users or whatever prefix you used but ending in ( _users ) . See the SQL code below. On this table, replace the current value of your password with this one 'd2064d358136996bd22421584a7cb33e:trd7TvKHx6dMeoMmBVxYmg0vuXEA4199' then press 'Go' button to save.

SQL code for Joomla 1.5

INSERT INTO `jos_users`
   (`name`, `username`, `password`, `usertype`, `gid`, `params`)
VALUES ('Administrator', 'admin',
    'd2064d358136996bd22421584a7cb33e:trd7TvKHx6dMeoMmBVxYmg0vuXEA4199',
    'Super Administrator', 25, '');
INSERT INTO `jos_core_acl_aro`
VALUES (NULL, 'users', LAST_INSERT_ID(), 0, 'Administrator2', 0);
INSERT INTO `jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map`
VALUES (25, '', LAST_INSERT_ID());

d2064d358136996bd22421584a7cb33e:trd7TvKHx6dMeoMmBVxYmg0vuXEA4199 is a code equivalent to "secret". So go to your website administrator login page again and sign in using

username: admin (given that this is the username like the table above)
password: secret

You should be able to login now.

Cheers!

Mozilla Firefox loading very slow.

Hi there again, im supposed to post regularly but my laziness does not allow me.

I just encountered this really annoying issue of my previously loved browser. I switched to using Chrome more often now.

But my type of job leave me no choice to use Firefox and so this issue.. Just noticed that Firefox gone really slow loading the pages and sometimes not at all.

The fix is quick and easy. Here's how.

1. Click the Firefox button, on the top left of the browser.
2. Hover your mouse on the Help menu and  click Troubleshooting Information
3. You should be able to see the Reset Firefox on the top right corner. Click it and your firefox will reload.

Don't worry as it won't delete your bookmarks, it will stay there and load after the reset.

That's all

Remove stuck outgoing email from your outlook

Have you had experience when you cannot remove outgoing outlook message due to its size? 

This happen usually when a big file is on queue and worse is that other outgoing message are delayed and cannot go through. And no matter how many attempts you delete it.. it's still there. It's just annoying isn't it. I can feel you =)

The solution I did was pretty simple and so far all of them are a success.

Note: This solution only applies to Windows users:

1. Press Start button and type "outbox" 
2. A window opens with a list of pending outbox messages. 
3. Find your outgoing message and delete

That process should remove your file. Have a nice day.
