Character Counts V2

-
The Chrome Web Extension "Character Counts" has been updated.

Current Features:

1. Count the number of selected characters on a page.
2. Convert an ASCII(char) string* between normal ASCII, ASCII (Int), and Binary.

* A string is represented by characters, words, and/or entire sentences.

New Feature:

1. Choose if your conversion input (source) string is ASCII(char) (default), ASCII(int), or Binary. The 'Convert' link will then cycle through the 3 conversions (although really 2; one converted output will always be the same as one source input).

  For Example:
  - ASCII(char) = ABC
  - ASCII(int) = 65 66 67
  - Binary = 01000001 01000010 01000011

Character Counts is available for free in the Chrome Web Store.

Character Counts is also Open Source on GitHub.

Learning Mobile App Development via Flutter

Learning: Mobile App Development - via Flutter What is … Flutter? Flutter is a mobile—and web—app development framework powered by the Dart programming language. It is akin to React Native or Ionic, and is built by Google. Dart is akin to JavaScript — but not. Since coming out of beta in December 2018, trends from Stack Overflow and LinkedIn have indicated Flutter has become—and is currently— a well-developed, easy-to-use,  community-driven framework for developing natively compiled apps . It is currently used by a variety of vendors including Square, Sonos, eBay , and of course, Google also uses Flutter to develop some of  its own products such as Google Ads . Flutter 101: The Course Academind ( Udemy; Online Education ) provides over 150 high-quality courses across near two dozen topics, and is devoted to real-life success via online learning. Tagline aside, their Flutter course in point is a fine-tuned 36-hour course, and is the most detailed study program I have

New Browser Extension: Too-Much-Time

Browser Extension: Too-Much-Time This blog entry is to simply document the creation and publishing of my third browser extension now available in the Chrome Web Store . The extension was relatively light and more of a personal project to accomplish something during—and break the monotony of—my mobile app development learning curve (which is coming along nicely). Too-Much-Time Browser Extension Popup Too-Much-Time is a simple browser extension that allows you to 'time' the time you spend on certain websites. When the time you specify is up, you'll get an alert offering you the opportunity to stop or snooze. As with my other two browser extensions, Too-Much-Time is not only free, it's open source. Although I was really hoping to have this quite simplistic concept developed within a day, in the end, even two days would have been surreal. But also in the end, I'm pleased with what the simple concept of trying to limit my time on [enter addicting online web service here]

Cannot empty the clipboard.

Cannot empty the clipboard. Well, I finally found a solid solution for this error (so far as I know for now). I tested this near 50 times and about 5 different ways. I've read LOTS of message posts on this, and not one has suggested this. Although one came close by suggesting to leave a copy of MS Word open (if the problem is happening in Excel). Unfortunately, this problem has been known to happen in Word also. My solution? Ready for it? Here it is... Open the clipboard, and leave it open (but minimized). How to open the clipboard? There should be a file in your system32 folder named "clipbrd.exe". Double-click it. Or, you might be able to "Run" (Win-R, or Start->Run) the "clipbrd.exe" command (minus the quotes). Please note that this solution is primarily for anyone with this issue that isn't running the Get Right Monitor, or you're not running remote desktop (rdclip) and/or terminal services.
