2 Ways to Close a Program that is Not Responding

In Windows®, every once in a while a program might freeze up on you. There are two ways you can close a program that is not responding. Next time a program freezes up on you, try one (or both) of the following methods:



Option 1 (May take longer for the program to close, if at all.)

  1. Push Ctrl-Alt-Del.

  2. You should a list of programs that are running.

  3. Highlight the stalled program in the list.

  4. Click "End Task".


Option 2 (For programs that just won't close.)

  1. Push Ctrl-Alt-Del.

  2. You should see the program in the list.

  3. Don't click the "End Task" button.

  4. Instead, right-click on the name of the program you want to close.

  5. Then click "Go To Process".

  6. Now you should see a list of more "processes" that are running on your computer.

  7. Your program should be highlighted at this point.

  8. Click "End Process".

Parameters Sent by TinyWebDB in App Inventor for Android

TinyWebDB is a component in App Inventor for Android that lets your app communicate with a web page in order to set or retrieve values, rather than storing them on the phone itself. I wanted to know what the TinyWebDB component sends to the web page when it tries to set or retrieve values, so I used Kodingen this morning to write a PHP script that takes the form fields and values sent to the page and writes them to a file. Here is what I found: TinyWebDB.StoreValue sends these parameters: tag value TinyWebDB. GetValue sends this parameter: tag So if you write your own PHP page for TinyWebDB to connect to, you can know if TinyWebDB is trying to store a value if the "value" key exists in the $_POST array. If the "value" key doesn't exist in the $_POST array then you know that TinyWebDB is only trying to retrieve the value for the given tag. As an alternative to using the method outlined by Google , you could use TinyWebDB with your own script written in an...
