I am developing a web community for Unity 3D. I am using devise and activeadmin and there is a ‘confirmable’ module with Devise that requires an email confirmation of the account.
There is this great tool called MailTrap that lets you set up a free account. Using this tool allows you to send email and it goes to the http://mailtrap.io/ site that you can either check on the web or have it automatically forward to your own email.
Coming soon are instructions on how to set up your personal email to check your AKO email so you won’t miss those announcements! Keep in mind you wont be able to send FROM your AKO email but you can have your AKO email go to your personal account.
First step is to make sure you know your AKO password. Once that is done follow these steps below.

I know this might sound silly, but I found the best hiccup cure! It has worked 100% of the time for me and one other person I have told it to. I want to see how many people it helps so please leave a comment, like, and tweet it!
To many, a computer is intimidating. You might use it for typing a letter or strictly doing email, but if you are the only one that uses it, it is your responsibility to keep it working. If you rely on your computer for many things, such as email, then you should follow these instructions:
NOTE: Most tips only apply to a Windows machine.
1) Mouse. Clean your mouse. Sure, this peripheral is a relatively cheap item, but it can be devastating when you need it and it all of a sudden it doesn’t work! If you have an optical mouse, a mouse that uses light rather than a ball and wheels, disregard these instructions.
To clean your mouse look under it and you should see the ball toward the middle of it. There is a circular thing around the ball that should have instructions to rotate it one way or another. Then, look inside and notice a few wheels, usually, one at the top and another to the side. If you notice black stuff, dirt, on the wheel, you should use a toothpick or something small and skinny to scrape the dirty away. Immediately you should notice smoother movement of the mouse.
2) Keyboard. Most keyboards have little crevices between the keys. All kinds of things can find its way between the keys. For some of the stuff, simply lifting the keyboard upside down and shaking can result in a lot of the stuff falling out. What I suggest is getting a can of compressed air or similar product and blow out what ever might be in the keyboard. This should result in a better working keyboard.
