Last night I attended a Meetup on Cyber Security with a IoT context sponsored by Kerpashky Lab. It was a great night with hosted by a female with three well credentialed females as the guest panelists. There was a interesting presentation on Cyber Security followed by a Q&A with the panel. This rhetorical question occurred to me.

My Lumia 930, on the Windows Insider Fast Track started running hot and flattening the battery in about 4 hours, before Christmas after the most recent update.
I provided feedback but could not find a solution. Final solution I found that worked was to do a a Factory Reset. I backed up my data first. On reset I let it reinstall my previous apps that were installed etc.
The ms-iot Community Samples site is now open for business. You can list your existing projects on the site along with meta information making it searchable. http://www.sportronics.com.au/ms_iot_Community_Samples

I got the following message when I tried to publish a web site from Visual Studio (2015 U3) and when I tried to restart VS after a reboot yesterday:

The question is, do they want community contributions? The site was originally worded in its ReadMe it appeared to seek community contributions in all four areas. During a recent discussion I had with the repository principals, it was decided that going forward in the long term, for maintainability, community contributions would only be sought in 3., bug fixes.
To that end, I have created a GitHub repository where developers can deposit a ReadMe.MD (ReadMe replaced by the project name). The file will have a simple textual database record at the top listing project properties, including a relative link to the project’s GitHub repository. The website as discussed here, is then able to get the deposited project ,md files and extract the database records, It then can import them to the site’s database (actually a json file) and save the .md file (without the db record) for display via the web site. The web site is able to list the records (key properties only) which can be filtered/searched and sorted based upon these project properties. Users are then able to select a project and view the complete db record. From there they are able to view the complete project ,md file.
This sequence of blogs briefly discusses the techniques/technologies used for the web site which include:
Symptom: Cntrl Key and Fn Key don’t work
System: HP Probook 450G1
Without these keys you can’t do much development.
(Weird) Solution: ……….
