When you create a project in MPLABX, quite a few files are created within the project folder. After some trial and error testing, I found that the only files really necessary for MPLABX to open a project are these:
<ProjectName>.X (this is the project folder)
<ProjectName>.X\Makefile
<ProjectName>.X\nbproject\configurations.xml
<ProjectName>.X\nbproject\project.xml
 
Items to ignore would be these:
# MPLABX folders
build
disassembly
dist
private
# MPLABX files
funclist
project.properties
Package*.bash
Makefile*.mk
Makefile*.properties
 
(MPLABX is based on Netbeans version 6, so I imagine Netbeans projects may have similar file sets. I'm not familiar with other types of Netbeans projects, so I'm just guessing here.)

Submitted by drew on

 

Just because I don't want to have to look this up again. Windows 8's driver signing enforcement prevents installing GBridge's network drivers. I posted how to work around that on gbridge.net forums when I was testing the Windows 8 preview, but their forum is offline now.

Windows 8

This method works for Professional or Home versions.

Submitted by drew on

 

I finally got a full harvest off of this vine (before birds, etc.) These grapes are pretty sour, if you just pick and eat. And seedy. However, I always thought they might make good jelly or something. So this year, I have lots of grapes to try something.

Basically, the process is:

Raspberry-Vanilla Pudding

Submitted by drew on

We have a picnic on July 4 where we are supposed to bring a dish. An hour before the picnic... what should we bring? We have lots of fresh-picked raspberries and that vanilla pudding I got last week. After a few minutes of Google-searching for things that use those two ingredients (no results, except for baked items and stuff of the wrong kind), I am going to make my own recipe for this.

Five different textures of crunch for a delightful and versatile snack that doesn't leave your taste buds feeling like you drank an ocean of saltwater.
 
Shake together in a container (or snack bag) in the desired proportions....
  • honey nut cheerios
  • pretzels (thin style, broken in pieces)
  • unsalted peanuts
  • Spanish peanuts
  • banana chips
  • raisins
 
I usually go heavy on the cheerios.
