Recipe 2017.03.10 - Pan-Seared Scallops

The secret to perfect pan-seared scallops is to make sure the scallops are dry, or else they won't burn/brown.

The recipe is simple enough. Add olive oil and butter to a saute pan and bring to medium heat. Once hot enough, add the scallops, making sure they're not overcrowded. Salt and pepper the scallops. Sear for 1.5 minutes on each side, or until nicely caramelized. Avoid turning them over and over as they cook. For additional taste, squeeze over some lime juice.

WinISO

Why can't everyone just use one standard disc image format?

So I got hold of a bunch of disk images that end in bin, cue, img, sub, and ccd. Was looking for a software that can convert them all to iso, so I can mount the disc (natively) on Windows 10. Google recommended WinISO, CloneCD, Magic ISO Maker, and PowerISO, among others. Most of them turned out to be shareware.

Tried installing version 4.2.0.2 of CloneCD, but Win10 is "unable to load the CloneCD device driver". Kept asking me to reboot, which I just did.

After some evaluation, I settled on WinISO, specifically Free WinISO Maker (WinISO 5.3). Heck, they installer even comes with the regkey. Handled all of the image files I threw at it.

CM11 for the Ainol Novo 7 Aurora II

It's been a while since I've used the Ainol, as I have probably five other tablets lying around. The next time I looked at it, Android was complaining about "Encryption unsuccessful". It would boot into custom recovery, do some wipe, and boot back into the same error message. The Ainol Novo 7 Aurora II has been running CM10.2. I reckon it's time to upgrade it to CM11.

The procedure from the CM11 (4.4.2) thread looks simple enough.

1. Download and install TWRP recovery.
2. Copy the CM11 ROM, gapps, and compatibility zip onto the microSD card (and insert into tablet).
3. Power on tablet while holding down the VOL- button.
4. Once booted to the custom recovery, enter "Wipe" menu and swipe to perform a factory reset.
5. Flash/Install the ROM, gapps, and compatibility zip.
6. Select "Reboot system".

Did the normal wipe, but TWRP unable to mount /data partition. So, I did a "Format data", then used "Advanced wipe" to wipe everything except the SD-ext. Did another wipe/factory reset, and this time it didn't complain. So, there's a new boot animation, which is a good sign. And the Cyanogenmod logo started spinning, and it kept on spinning for the next 10 minutes. That can't be right. Did another flash with the same results. Went back to the tried and tested CM10.2. Same spinning logo.

This time even Format Data is giving me I/O errors. And seems like the partitions are in ext3 instead of the expected ext4. Something must have gone terribly wrong. The tablet is as good as bricked. As a last resort, I turned to the Aurora II Unbrick Kit 2.0.

Instructions to prep the kit:

1. Run USB Image Tool as administrator to flash the microSD card.
2. Choose "Device Mode" in the drop-down menu.
3. Choose your microSD card on the left panel.
4. Click the "Restore" button.
5. Choose "Aurora II 0607 Image.img" in the pop-up window, then click Ok.
6. Wait until the image recovery is finished.

At this point you'll have a 500MB microSD card with 4 files:

• factory_update_param.aml
• g06refe3-ota-eng.chengnan.tan.zip
• u-boot.bin
• uImage_recovery

To continue:

1. Insert the prepared microSD card into your tablet.
2. Connect the power adapter to your tablet.
3. Turn the tablet on by pressing "Power" and "Volume -" simultaneously.
4. Wait until the auto-update is finished, at which point the tablet will reboot.
5. Remove the microSD card prior to next boot or else tablet will be flashed again.

In my case, flash was completed, but tablet still refuses to boot up properly. Next step is to copy the aml_autoscript to the microSD card and repeat the flash. The "aml_autoscript" is a NAND scrubbing tool to format your internal memory. Note that the forums advise using aml_autoscript as a last resort.

This time, the tablet was able to boot up (to the Chinese ROM) after the flash. With the confidence knowing I can recover from a bad/corrupted/incorrect partition, I proceeded to install Troy's CM11.

First step was to install the TWRP recovery to NAND (via the microSD card). The stock Android recovery gives me an error about invalid/wrong signature, plus the ff. errors:
E:Bad bootloader arguments
"(null)"
E:unknown volume for path [/udisk/factory_upgrade_param.aml]
E:Can't mount /udisk/factory-update-param.aml

No matter; there's more than one way to skin a cat. Simply extract uImage_recovery from the TWRP zip and copy to the root directory of the microSD card, then try again. This time, the tablet booted into TWRP instead of the stock Android recovery. Just to be sure that the partitions are all good and clean:

1. "Wipe" "Format Data"
2. "Wipe" "Advanced Wipe"  "System", "Cache", and "Dalvik Cache"
3. "Wipe" "Factory Reset"

...then flash these zips (in order):

• TWRP-v2.6.0.0-aurora2_elf2_crystal-ext4.zip
• cm-11-20140716-UNOFFICIAL-elf2.zip
• gapps-kk44-core-amlogic.zip
• aurora2-cm11.0-multiuser_compatibility-rc1.zip

All good!

SecureCRT - Send Input to Multiple Tabs

This SecureCRT feature basically allows you to send input (commands) to multiple tabbed sessions. This is neat, time-saving feature if you have to run the same procedures on a group of servers, e.g. account creation, statistics collection, etc.

For this to work:

• sessions need to be grouped. Just drag and drop separate session windows into one single tabbed window. OR select a session folder and click on the Connect button to launch all sessions within that folder.
• chat window nees to be visible. View --> Chat Window

If there is a specific tabbed session that you want to exclude from the input broadcast, just lock them from the File menu or tab menu.

From the chat window, right-click and choose Send Chat to All Sessions. Input/Command is sent to the remote sessions when you press ENTER. You can prepare multiple lines of commands in the chat window by using the CTRL+ENTER key combination.

Movie 2016.08.12 - Edge of Tomorrow

Just from the trailer, I wasn't too impressed going into the movie. I mean, with a Groundhog Day-type scenario, anyone can win the fight against the aliens. And then, there's Tom Cruise.

Having come in contact with the blood of an Alpha, Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) gains the power to live another day every time he dies. Together with Sargeant Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), who used to also have this power, they try to figure out a way to get through the daily grind, and locate the Omega, which controls the whole alien Mimic army. Of course, there were some funny moments when Cage first realizes he's in an endless deja vu. Then, the obligatory romance when Cage falls for Vrataski when he gets to know her more and more.

On the day that Cage gets the long-awaited vision and pinpoints the location of the Omega, he gets injured and after a blood transfusion, loses his power to reset the day. Back to Day 1, with no power to reset, he and Vrataski, with the help of the the J Squad, head for The Louvre on a suicide mission to neutralize the Omega. Against all odds, Cage manages to blow up the Omega, and with another dose of alien blood, he goes back in time to witness the defeat of the aliens.

Not too much heavy acting required from the leads. The members of the J Squad are pretty much disposable. I quite liked the moral lesson that human perseverance and tenacity eventually win out. Despite knowing the eventual failed outcome, just having a go at it again and again might make the difference. And if you try hard enough, she might even tell you her middle name.
