Loops of Zen Hints, Tips and Walkthrough

Loops of Zen is a game about closing all the loops on a page by rotating the pieces.  Each level is randomly generated, so it’s impossible to write an answer key type walkthrough.  Here are some tips and tricks to get you through the game.  You can play Loops of Zen on Kongregate:

http://www.kongregate.com/games/ahnt/loops-of-zen/

1. Start by looking for places where a piece MUST be turned a certain way.  When there’s a 3-way piece or a straight line, and one edge doesn’t have a piece in that direction (like when it’s the edge of the board), then it’s a dead giveaway that the piece can only be oriented one direction.  Also, when there is a curved piece in the corner it can only be oriented one way.

2. Now look for pieces next to those pieces that you just set that must be turned a certain way to connect to that piece.  Good examples are curve pieces on the edge next to a straight or 3-way piece, or circle pieces with only one connection point next to those same pieces.

3. Many of these pieces that you’ve found in the first two examples were on the outside edges of the board.  Try to finish off the entire outside edges by doing this same techinque.  Use process of elimination to determine which orientations could not possibly work in order to determine which one it must be.

4. Continue working outside in, putting pieces in place which you know are right.  3-way pieces and straight lines are good for this if you can get any piece next to it which does not have a path to that piece, then you know the orientation.  4-way pieces are also good because you know they must connect in every direction.  If they are next to a straight line or a circle piece, you know exactly which way that piece must be oriented to connect to the 4-way.

5. When you run out of pieces which must be in certain directions, look for pieces which at least cannot be in the orientation they display, and change them to one of the possible orientations.  Use this to start putting together the rest of the puzzle.

6. When you get to the end, most of the puzzle will look good, but there will be a few glitches.  These glitches are an extra little piece of loop sticking out which isn’t connected to anything.  You’ll notice that you can change the puzzle to try to repair these glitches, but they won’t be fixed until you can bring two glitches together on the board.  Keep changing the puzzle to move these glitches towards each other, and they will be fixed in pairs as you connect two unconnected glitches to each other to complete a loop.  Repeat until all of the glitches are gone.

That’s it!  There are 50 levels.  The first 30 go from easy to hard.  Then the puzzles get smaller again and include more circle pieces which seem to be more difficult to work out.  Good luck with all 50!

How to rebuild your database in Entourage

September 23, 2008

I have a user that is getting funky errors in Entourage 2008 for some time now. He keeps saying that his settings are wrong, I keep saying that they are fine. I know for certain that it is an issue with his Entourage. I had him do the usual things, clear the cache, delete the account and re-add it(he is an exchange 2003 user) but all has the same result.

His issues? Entourage is complaining about size limits (he is not hitting size limits on the exchange server) his inbox is not completely syncing and it is slow to do anything. I remember a similar issue and it had to do with the entourage database. After some searching, I came across these directions:

You should rebuild the database if:

You have problems starting Entourage, or viewing, opening, and storing items.
Items that refuse to be deleted.
Need to reclaim disk space..
FAQ: “If I rebuild my Entourage database will I lose all my categories and links!”

[ANS] Not anymore with Entourage 2008!

It is recommended that you not rebuild your database as regular maintenance. Rebuilding should not be considered as a substitute for an adequate backup. You are encouraged to back up critical data on a regular basis.

Rebuilding should be avoided unless there is database corruption. Here’s what Jud Spencer [one of Entourage’s developers] said on the issue:

There is a small benefit to compacting regularly. Entourage maintains internal sort tables. Those sort tables are optimized on a compact.

However, you should only choose the rebuild option if your database is damaged. Many people believe that rebuilding your database will protect you from future corruption. That just isn’t the case.

Source

Tip: Emptying the cache does not reduce the database size itself. The database will be left with ‘wasted’ space in it every time you delete something. However, this is not all bad, since the wasted space is used up with new data as it is added. This way, over a period of time (assuming that you are deleting stuff as you go) the database will probably reach an optimum size, after which the stuff you delete is roughly equal to the stuff you add, and no further growth takes place.

If you need to recover the wasted space on your hard disk, you will have to do a ‘typical’ rebuild to compact the database. This will create a compacted version of the database without the wasted space. You will then have to manually delete the backup copies of the original database that the rebuild process creates AFTER you are happy the new one is OK.

Tip: Rather than compacting and keeping a small database, create a large database then delete messages in order to create a contiguous space on your hard drive for your messages.

Think about your data being in one contiguous space rather than in bits around your computer. Once your database has reached it’s size as established when you installed Entourage, the Finder will start writing your data in bits around your drive. If you establish a large Entourage database using large message files when you first set up your computer, you can then delete excess messages and Entourage will reuse that space with new messages. Think of this as creating a partition for Entourage.

How to Rebuild Your Database
As with any procedure like rebuild, it’s a good idea to make a backup prior to running. Your data should not be erased, but if something fails during this process, data could be lost. To be doubly sure, duplicate your Identity folder prior to the rebuild.
Locate your database. It should be in your Documents folder: Can’t find your database? See tip #9
Find the size of your database, use Get Info (Command + I).
Make sure you have enough hard disk space available for twice that amount. As part of the rebuilding process, Entourage creates a second database file.
Quit any applications that are running, including virus-protection applications, all Office applications, Microsoft Messenger for Mac, and Office Notifications, because they might interfere with rebuilding. How to quit Notifications.
If you can’t get to the rebuild screen, there could be a conflict with another application. Try restarting your computer with Shift key down to quit remaining processes. For example, “Quicken Scheduler” can interfere with the process.

Rebuild your database:
Entourage 2001 and Entourage X: Hold down the Option key and re-launch the application. In a few seconds, you’ll be greeted with a dialogue box asking if you want the “Typical Rebuild” or the “Advanced Rebuild.” Choose “Typical.”
Entourage 2004: Hold down the Option key and re-launch the application. In a few seconds, you’ll be greeted with the Entourage 2004 Database Utility. Select to rebuild. (Note: Compact the database (Like X’s “Typical rebuild”) Rebuild the database (Like X’s “Advanced Rebuild”)
Caution: Some of your data might be lost if you choose the Advanced Rebuild option. You should use this option only if you have already performed a typical rebuild and continue to experience problems starting Entourage or storing data.

During the rebuild process, the old files are renamed in case for some reason the rebuild was not successful and you need to revert to the original database. After you’ve rebuilt your database and checked the application’s performance, you can delete the old versions from your hard drive. Do not throw away these files unless you are satisfied with the rebuild.

Old files are named:
Entourage 2004: Main [Backed up date and time will be shown] e.g. Main [Backed up 1-21-2007 13.35]
Entourage X: “Old Database Cache” and “Old Database”
Entourage 2001: “Old Database Cache”, “Old Database”, and “Old Messages.” In addition, Database (Rebuild) Cache is retained.

Pub Darts Walkthrough

September 17, 2008

Another day, another game.  This game’s walkthrough?

PUB DARTS WALKTHROUGH!

This game is rather simple and has a nice trick.  If you slightly move the mouse around, you can almost pinpoint where the dart is going to land.  This works out well if you are shooting a bullseye or double bullseye.  It is not exactly accurate, but pretty close.  Also, the name of the game is to get 501 as quick as possible.

Triple: three times the amount hit

Double: twice the amount hit

Bullseye: 25 points

Double Bullseye: 50 points

Good luck and happy darts!

How to reset a password in OSX

September 16, 2008

NOTE: If you have stolen a laptop, shame on you!  I needed to perform this procedure on a girl’s laptop who OD’d on coke and they wanted to try to find out who sold it to her.  Also, the coke was laced, so they want to make sure that no one else uses it, or so they claim.  My guess is that they just want to find the dealer.  Regardless, this is the procedure on how to reset the main password in OSX if the system does not allow you to login.

Resetting the original administrator account password

Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account (of several) needs a password reset. “Original” administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, the original administrator user may reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above.

  1. Start up from a Mac OS X Install CD (one whose version is closest the the version of Mac OS X installed). You should first disable Open Firmware password protection, if it is enabled. Hold the C key as the computer starts.
  2. Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger). Tip: If you don’t see this menu or menu choice, you’re probably not started from the CD yet.
  3. Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
  4. Set the user name of your original administrator account.

    Important: Do not select “System Administrator (root)”. This is actually a reference to the root user. Do not confuse it with a normal administrator account.
