My new blog - jboyflaga2.blogspot.com

Hi!

My blog is now located at jboyflaga2.blogspot.com.

"Why is there a '2' in that URL?", you might be asking...

I was blocked from Google Adsense for illegal clicks on this blog a long time ago. I tried to ask for a second chance but they said that they cannot do that because they are protecting the trust that their customers are giving to them.

Sad.

So after a few years I created a new blog. I was hoping that I will be accepted again this time to Adsense, but my attempt was unsuccessful.

But it's ok... I have already accepted my fate. This is what I get for not reading the Terms of Service and for doing an illegal activity hahahaha

Solution to error on "kpm restore": Unable to locate [package]

When I tried to run "kmp restore" on a vNext project I got these error messages like in the picture below:

Unable to locate [package]

The solution is to create a Nuget.config file that contains the package source for vNext at the root of your solution

<packageSources> 
 <add key="AspNetVNext" value="https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/" /> 
 <add key="NuGet.org" value="https://nuget.org/api/v2/" /></packageSources>

From Nand to Tetris - My Solutions to the Projects

I have created a repository to contain my solutions to the projects of the course "From Nand to Tetris"
(You can also get the reading materials and projec files at http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/course/2002/nand2tet/projects.html)

Here is the repository of my solutions: https://github.com/jboyflaga/Nand2Tetris
(Some of my solutions are not very good even though the output is still correct. Be sure to also look at other people's solutions for reference.)

UPDATE (November 17, 2013): I deleted the GitHub repository of my solutions to the Nand2Tetris projects 1 to 8 because someone who is teaching it (Alex Lipov) requested for it to be removed because it violated the course terms (http://www.nand2tetris.org/terms.php).

If you want to know how to start the course just read the whole Chapter 1 available in http://www.nand2tetris.org/course.php or http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/course/2002/nand2tet/projects/proj1.html. You will know what to do especially after you read the last part of chapter 1.

Enjoy!!!
