DonationCoder.com Software / Screenshot Captor / Re: LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - ScreenshotCaptor - 2.95.01 - June 6, 2011

Installed most recent (2.95.02) and just for curiosity, tried to check new version with autoupdate (Help -> Check for updates) and updater pops up big window indicating, that my version is newer than version database haves... Well, that's not a real issue but ... this window... There are no "Close this window" button etc anywhere.... and when I tried to capture this screen with Screenshot Captor itself, it only captured _empty_ notice window with only text "UPDATE CHECK" on it. All
I have a strong feeling about lurking bug here :)

Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Good blog for software developers to follow

Quite recently, discovered this very interesting blog from developers to developers, called Alt Dev Blog a Day. A lot of pretty interesting posts daily and very good hints etc for all levels of coders. Most of the topics are close to game developers but it serves nicely all who need some inspiration for their daily development process. [attach=1] (and yes, I follow it via rss feed, just like most of the interesting sites all over the internet). Edit: As a bonus, got another one for you to follow: Cbloom rants. Hope you all find these useful.

Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: Tipping - Why does this appear to be a "requirement"?

As a European (living in Finland), this tipping in restaurant is so annoying thing when I do visit US (once in a two years or so). Everything else in US is pretty much the way I like it but when I'll go to restaurant, it's kinda strange because I have no idea, what that food I'm going to eat, is gonna cost me at the end... (of course I have some estimates but...).
And service... hey, I'm there just to eat something, not to ask to wipe my ass clean. Waiters are there only to ask what I want to eat, carry my drink(s) & foods for me and when I'm finished, get money for that food. I'm not expecting much more for a typical visit to restaurant. I don't expect waiters to give me a nice show when I'm eating, for that I'll go to movies/theater/somewhere else. Just plain basic, solid good service to get job done. And smiling should be free, no matter what.
In Europe, in many countries mandatory tipping doesn't exist. So no one expects you to tip but if you feel you're getting superior service, you're free to tip and make servers happy.
Here in Finland, when I go to restaurant, I quite rarely tip. But when I tip, there are good reasons for that. (same thing in many other European countries I'll visit).
That's my 0.02e for this discussion.

DonationCoder.com Software / Unfinished Requests / UNANSWERED: *nix crontab parser/visualizer
|

I think I'm not the only one who have been looking for decent tool to parse *nix crontab to more visually readable format (HTML could be right tool for output). With that tool, it would be easier to track down potential problems in crontab timing. So output could be somekind of a pseudo calendar of what jobs kick off at what times. Or something else if someone figures out more ideal way to do it..  Or does someone already have good solution for this kind of need?

Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / How to easily relay my favourite radiostreams... read for problem details.
|
on: August 22, 2010, 01:36:01 AM

Problem: Where I'm working, because what I do, I'm allowed to listen radio streams freely all day long (while I'm doing other more important tasks). But there is one major problem in my point of view: I can listen only radiostreams which are using port 80. Many of those stations which I'd like to listen, are streaming to some higher port like 3276 or something similar and that kind of streams are happily blocked by our corporate firewall... Question: Does anyone have working setup for icecast or similar for relaying certain stations so I could listen them from relay at port 80? I have been doing some experimenting with icecast and so far, couldn't find working way to relay, for example one of my favourite station WPRK (stream url: http://38.96.174.27:4564/). I know how to configure icecast for relaying but for some reason, this and several others doesn't want to be relayed..  It would be nice to have easy, smooth and proven-to-work template for icecast to relay various radiostreams to port I want. Hope you understand my problem and can see some nice and easy solution for it. Here is what I have trying to do so far, with no luck: So, anyone with working solution? EDIT: Also, if someone have time and interest to implement small utility (for windows) to be able to put those stations there easily to be relayed for certain port... it would be very cool.

All of you have missed one very very very good editor which should be covered also: E-TextEditor. Contains whole a lot great features and supports almost too many different formats....  Worth of checking, IMHO! If there is some deal to purchase this one, it would be SO cool. (and yes, I'm still mostly using Gnu Emacs to editing but sometimes I need something special and then I'm using E-TextEditor).

Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: TV via broadband ?
|

Hello,
I would be interested in tips and comments regarding "watching TV" via broadband internet. Is dedicated software recommended? Are there any bearable offerings available at all ? Favorite web sites?
There is n+1 free and commercial softwares as well websites providing same stuff, to show some selection of TV channels which streams or are being streamed by someone else to internet with various bitrates. Shouldn't be hard to search some more popular titles from web, they are advertising quite aggressively even they itself doesn't usually provide anything else but frontend to show those stream same streams (most of them have very same streams, reason is quite obvious). If I want to list some of my very favourites, there is one for software and another for webpage: Software: TVU Networks ( www.tvunetworks.com) is p2p based software where you can easily find something more or less interesting to watch. Webpage: Freetube ( freetube.110mb.com) have decent collection of streams available. Of course, there is _alot_ of others, which I'm not mentioning here, if others have some nice ones with some special twist (not just repeating all same channels), feel free to list it here.
