Living Room / backup question - how much of a risk is fire?

« on: January 30, 2007, 09:55 PM »

This is just a general observation on my part...

I am researching for backup options and free software alternatives from True Image and Norton Ghost.
I find out from comments from different forums and articles that people normally save a copy of their software at friends house or in a fireproof safe.

Is fire a common problem at your country?

Where I live, fire concerns is not brought too much to my attention, so i am not worried about it.

Ha, maybe i am too naive...

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Till Only One Left (TOOL)

« on: November 29, 2006, 10:11 PM »

Hi,

Actually this is a coding snack to myself. I had only used AHK for adding hotkeys to launch some program and text replacement. Now i would like to explore more of AHK to write a small app myself.

As have not done any programming before, i would like to ask for some help on how to start...now reading the help documentation for AHK...

So for the actual idea:

I would like to write something that will minimise all windows (including open/save dialogs) except the active current window. That means if i activate another window, all other windows will minimise automatically.

Essentially, there will always be only one window on my workspace.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Desktop Teleporter

« on: November 09, 2006, 12:31 AM »

Hi,

I know I shouldn't put everything i have on the desktop...too messy...

But i cant help it...

It is so easy to just drag things to Desktop or download things to desktop....19 inches of monitor space to drop...

So it there any program where you drag/download things to desktop, it will "teleport" to a designated folder making the desktop as empty and clean as an empty mug (OK, maybe some coffee stains )

Living Room / Monitor Display problem

« on: September 13, 2006, 08:21 PM »

Hi,

would like some advice on a problem that i have...

recently, my monitor exhibit a weird behaviour. When i startup my computer, the monitor will turn on, but there will be no display on the screen (no boot messages). The computer will run its course until it reaches the log in page of win XP which there is still no display. Yesterday i discovered a trick whereby at the login page, i turn off the monitor and turn on again, and the display will come on again.

i have try this trick during the boot process, but the boot message still wont come on. And also, without display i cannot go into the BIOS menu to troubleshoot.

Any idea what is causing this? Thanks in advance...

(By the way, i am using a CRT monitor Samsung 551s)

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: predictive text for ms word

« on: May 23, 2006, 01:57 AM »

hi,

Feel free to ignore me if this is more than a coding snacks....

I find the auto-correct function in ms word not that useful, so i am thinking of a small program that just search within a dictionary and suggest closest word as you type. Sort of like T9 predictive text in mobile phone.

I have google this and found programs that does this but with alot more bloated features that i do not need....

Wish all programs (FARR, DialogMove, etc.)were as simple and easy to use found here....
