Yes, BIG THANKs to ALL, mouser Gothic wordzilla for all the hard work I guess you guys are still busy (or sleeping) but if you get a chance ...please take this time to walk outside and remember what your family looks like.  |
 +1. but I thought DC was pretty close to being family...  I confess ... I was just having a little dig at the message on the "Server is down" page - I do get to go out and get fresh air [most]everyday...but I guess dc time often tends to come out of my work time  having had a break can help me break that habit... but hey it is nice to be back

so, is it pronounced Woe-vel or Wov-el or wuvel to rhyme with shovel (shuvel)  [it's been like spring here too (germany, north of alsace) but snow forecast, eh, which will make it about six inches this winter altogether...]

I been using Imagine very briefly lately. as reported by Lanux this came up in gHacks recently: Imagine. looks good but haven't tried it yet.. what I miss straight away in Faststone (compared to imagine) is that it wont go from last file in folder back to first ("Jump to the first file?" box pops up) also miss the modifiable shortcuts.. but I'm finding Imagine either a bit buggy or else it has very strange defaults with regard to zoom - havent looked into it enough yet [edit - what gets me most about imagine is no pan  you have to use arrows - edit] I liked it a lot, but moved on to FSViewer because of that also I cant access it's homepage

News and Reviews / Note Taking Software / Re: SuperboyAC's Notetaking Software Roundup #1
|
on: February 29, 2008, 06:58:05 AM

I've been looking for a good notetaking software for a long time. I've tried the top 3, and decided on Mybase. The only problem is to use it at multiple computers and keep it in sync, I had to keep the DB on a USB stick. Then, I was informed by my boss, that it was against our security policy and I could get fired!
I'm now working with InnoKB which is the server version of Mybase and hopefully this will work out for me.
Can you include online/sync/portability features in the next roundup? I'm not sure if InnoKB is the only one that can do this.
have you had a look at General brainstorming for Note-taking software, and SQLNotes...what is it exactly? if you interested in databases

me, I think Arial would be good - give it a go and see, Macs dont have Arial so I dont know what happens there...prob gets replaced by courier think that's their default font or maybe depends on browser. But you're mainly windows at the moment so I wouldnt worry bout that I was aiming to get rid of the dull, usual fonts that are "web-safe"
you've done that with the header or whatever it's called, after that, you're allowed be dull  Anyone else know which fonts are fairly universal on windows PCs ?
