MD's Technical Sharing: Restoring SMS Backup from CSV to Blackberry devices

http://minhdanh2002.blogspot.com/2010/10/restoring-sms-backup-from-csv-to.html

Friday, October 1, 2010. Restoring SMS Backup from CSV to Blackberry devices. The tool in this article, CSV2IPD, reads text messages from CSV files and generates an IPD file that can be imported to Blackberry devices by Blackberry Desktop Software for devices running Blackberry OS 7 and older, or Blackberry Link for devices running Blackberry OS 10. UPDATE (8 October 2014):. After further research I found a hint here. Of the article, cached by Google. After reading the French KB, it seems that the pr...

MD's Technical Sharing: Restoring text from PDF files encoded using custom CID fonts

http://minhdanh2002.blogspot.com/2015/02/restoring-text-from-pdf-files-encoded.html

Thursday, February 26, 2015. Restoring text from PDF files encoded using custom CID fonts. Recently while reading Dune: The Battle of Corrin. A 2004 science fiction novel, from a PDF e-book using Foxit Reader, I realized that I could not seem to copy text from the document. Only garbled characters, and not readable text, will be stored on the clipboard. For this reason, I also could not search the document to find specific words or phrases. What is the issue here? In my case, the Copy. By navigating thro...

MD's Technical Sharing: Using Prolific PL-2303HXA USB to TTL chipset on Windows 8

Friday, December 27, 2013. Using Prolific PL-2303HXA USB to TTL chipset on Windows 8. To avoid using the MAX232 level converter and a USB to serial adapter on my Mac Mini every time I needed to debug the PIC micro-controller via UART, I purchased a few USB to TTL modules from eBay, hoping that the PIC will simply appear as a serial port under Windows ready for use with any terminal program. The module looks neat with output pins for GND, TX, RX, 3.3.V and 5.0V:. Bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE I...

MD's Technical Sharing: Archiving iOS projects from command line using xcodebuild and xcrun

Monday, June 9, 2014. Archiving iOS projects from command line using xcodebuild and xcrun. In one of my recent projects, I need to provided 16 different builds from a single iOS application code base. Although the different builds targeting different customers, having different application names, server addresses and build configurations have already been configured as different schemes in xCode, having to perform these builds manually using xCode is still time consuming and error-prone. 0x2ffee000 verif...

MD's Technical Sharing: Interfacing Nokia 3510i and 5110 LCD with PIC Microcontroller

http://minhdanh2002.blogspot.com/2011/03/interfacing-nokia-3510i-and-5110-lcd.html

Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Interfacing Nokia 3510i and 5110 LCD with PIC Microcontroller. Recently I started to regain some interest in embedded systems, and start to experiment with PIC micro-controllers. After some successful attempts with standard character LCDs using using the HD44780 controllers, I decided to get some Nokia LCD modules from eBay to explore. The 2 LCD modules I purchased are for the 3510i. Models. Both have built-in controllers which use Serial Peripheral Interface. To send data, and...
