This is still the only board I check every day, and I look forward to it.

Thanks Mouser!!!

It's harder than he makes it look, practice would probably make a difference.  Strength is also a factor.

It took me a while but I had to see for myself.

This is Woody Leonhard's Patch site.  It's been interesting since he joined forces with Susan Bradley and others, since sometimes they don't have the same take on potential patch problems.

I like to let others be the first patchers, read about their experiences, and then patch a few weeks later if it's safe.  And I always do a full backup before patching.

my preference would be not just portable furniture fitting in a suitcase, but in a cylinder package!

Sure, you see it all the time.  And with a little motivation it doesn't always take a lot of "over and over".

Or rather, I think the value assigned to such things are ridiculously offensively out of line for everyone in this game
right, we need to spend that money on football and baseball players  Grin

or you could try a mouse gesture add-on.  I use All-In-One Gestures for Firefox.

I use the right button and a few simple gestures to move between tabs, go to top of page, zoom.

pretty much any Western or other flick with Clint Eastwood in it was going to be worth watching.
agreed, seems like the guy can't make a bad movie

The Man from Earth

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756683/

Just a guy telling a story (the setting and supporting characters are irrelevant).

But the guy is 14,000 years old and it's a great story.  Most entertaining.
11  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: Select ENTER with mouse click on: February 12, 2013, 09:27:40 PM
The problem with clicking someplace outside the window you are working on is that you will change focus, so any <Enter> or <Return> at that point wouldn't happen in the correct window, at least not with only a few lines of script.

I use mouse rocker combinations (hold down one button and click/doubleclick/triple click the other, hold down one button and click the scroll wheel, hold down one button and roll the scroll wheel) for a variety of things: cut, copy, paste, delete, return, escape, close tab.

Each assignment is a few lines of Autohotkey script.  I use LeftButton/ScrollDown for <ENTER>, maybe that sort of thing would work for you adjusted to the trackball.  A snippet of code I lifted/copied/adapted from someone/someplace else:
[copy or print]
~LButton & WheelDown::
    Send,{LButton Up}
    GetKeyState, State, WheelDown
    If State = U
        {
            Send,{Enter}
            ToolTip, Enter
            SetTimer, RemoveToolTip, 2000
        }

Have you tried surrounding the complete path and filename in quotes?

What does the Link Alert icons look like?
Sorry, can't figure out a way to capture them on my system (I also have the url pop-up, but both vanish when I try to capture the icon).  Plus I'd only be able to do one at a time.

But the icons are small (I like small icons).

Check out Link Alert, looks similar but different icons.

No argument with what you are saying, except for the idea that a UPS "filters" rough generator power.  People think UPS's work the way a charger/battery/inverter setup works, with all the 120v power being converted to 12v and back to 120v via the inverter 100% of the time.

But that's off-topic, sorry.
20  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: Audio Timestamping from Electric Hum on: December 14, 2012, 06:44:46 PM
the UPS, that way the whole system is operating off-grid with the UPS filtering the ragged power from the generator.
If the UPS needs to be unplugged to force use of its internal inverter, then wouldn't there therefore be no filtering of ragged generator power?

Another Autohotkey ?
For Office applications (Word, Excel, etc) far more powerful.

I figured you could do this with a short batch file.  Refreshing my memory re the FOR command, I found the FOR /R command.

Looks like you could use the FOR /R and RENAME commands together right at a command prompt.

^give the OP some time and benefit of the doubt to read all the "litanies" that just got posted.

Fair enough, good point.

Apology is not needed, but do message me with details of what you think was deleted so I can look into it.
You're a class act mouser, no surprise to anyone who's paid even a little attention.

But this caught me on a cranky day, so one last snipe and then I'll go back in my hole.  I note that you've received no reply to your offer to resolve the problem.
