Adding Google AdSense ads

I added google ads to my blog today.  This was very easy.  I already had Google AdSense setup on my account so it just took a minute to link the account and select a layout that works.

I also added ads to my main site mattdyer.us.  That site is setup as an AngularJS 2 site.  I am just getting started setting it up.  I was able to just put the ads in my main html file though so I didn't have to worry right now about whether they would work well with an angular site.  Adding those ads was also pretty easy.  I spent most of the time just playing with a layout to get a nice side bar and a main area for content.  I also did some reading about routing in Angular 2.  Hopefully now I can start adding some other pages to my site.

Getting Hidden App Data From Your Google Drive

Some Android applications use space on your Google Drive to store data.  You can't see this data by browsing drive the normal way.  You can get access to it if you get the access token from the app and do a few other things.

I use an app to keep some notes and other things.  They require getting the paid version of the app to backup your data.  I wanted to see if I could get it myself without paying for the app.  I found out how to do this from this Stackoverflow post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22832104/see-hidden-app-data-in-google-drive.  The example there uses php. Since I have been learning Python recently, I decided to see if I could do the same thing with Python.

 There is a pretty good explanation of why you need to go through all the steps you need to go through to get your data in the accepted answer for that post, so I won't go into too much detail about that here.

Using IR codes from Broadlink backup file

This is a continuation of yesterdays post about the Broadlink RM2 wifi remote.  I was able to test out using the codes to control my remote today.  They are stored in JSON format in the broadlink backup file.  The backup file is a zip file.  After you extract it there is a folder named SharedData.  There are several files in the folder.  The one that seems to have all the codes is named jsonIrCode.  The data looks like an array of objects, each with a code and some other information.

Setting Up an Angular 5 site on Github Pages

Getting Started

This article will go over all the steps to setup an Angular site on GitHub pages.  The site will use Angular's AOT compiling and be served from the docs folder of the repository.

To start with you can follow the guide here to setup a new Angular project. Then you will need to setup a repository on Github.com.  The name of the repository doesn't matter, this site will use the docs folder, not the specially named repository with USERNAME.github.io as the name.



Project Changes

After that open up the project in your editor and open the .angular.cli.json file.  Change the "outDir" to "docs".  This is where the files will be created when you build the project.  The contents of .angular.cli.json are shown below with all the changes discussed in the article.

Custom Domain

To use a custom domain for your site you need to create a file name CNAME that contains only the domain name.  The GitHub help page explains how to setup DNS and everything else you …
