Just a quick update picture of my wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling bookcase installation so far:Good to see some progress. It's a shame you can't afford a better carpet, though...
I also join the increasing force demanding mouser to finish his Ph.D ALREADY!Forget the Ph.D, what about those bookshelves?
Bah! North American bigots!More parochial than that, so don't feel bad.
I just wanted to update this ans say this one page is incredibly useful if you are building bookcases and stuff:It's certainly useful. Like many others, I keep an old PC in my workshop. That gives me fast access to a lot of stuff that used to require reference books. Also, I can enlarge wording that's on the screen, if need be, which saves the annoyance of fiddling around changing spectacles.

It helps you calculate the maximum span without sagging for different materials.-mouser (February 18, 2007, 07:42 AM)
What about calling that same script via window's own task scheduler (first set up a daily task, then go back and edit it to go into "Advanced" and enable repeat task every ... 30 minutes).Patrick, thanks for the reply. To use the built-in scheduler occurred to me, too, not long after posting (act first, think later). Having set up a task, I managed to remember to turn off the drives last night
You can also use System Scheduler (free and pro versions) (www.splinterware.com) if window's own task scheduler is flaky running on your system.

app103: he won't act like a cranky old manAnd what, pray, is your objection to
Has anyone come across any new trackballs? I am still looking for a replacement for my trackball explorer which has seen better days.Nothing so far, for me. I followed up some suggestions from here but none was exactly what I wanted. I ended up buying a bunch of reconditioned units that'll probably see me out. Do post something here if you have any better luck.-Josh (February 17, 2007, 09:21 AM)
There is some error-correction done in cd players, which is why a scratched CD I have plays perfectly in my NAD player, but can't be ripped 100% on my computer.Off topic, I know, but it' nice to see another NAD aficionado. Do you have the Master series?-f0dder (February 13, 2007, 02:38 AM)
I should have made it clearer that that's what the beta of EverNote Plus 2.0 claims to do, rather than the existing version. You have a stiff test regime; maybe you should apply to be a beta testerYes, good idea, that should bring them to their knees-rjbull (February 14, 2007, 09:41 AM)
what I need is something that can read and convert tens of thousands of handwritten pages [from many different hands, in many different layouts] into editable and searchable text.)This seems like it might be a task for the "Amazon Mechanical Turk" (http://requester.mturk.com/mturk/welcome).-cranioscopical (January 19, 2007, 05:41 PM)
You can scan the documents into image files...If you do this, please let us know how it goes.-mwb1100 (February 14, 2007, 12:52 AM)
Here's a very good source for all sorts of info on the th55 (including a long thread on battery life btw)

That seems to be what Evernote Plus ($39.95) claims to do...-rjbull (February 07, 2007, 08:56 AM)
cthorpe: It's too bad that you can't get a discount from them. Don't know how I managed it when I did. Must have gotten the right rep on the phone.Persistence counts. I tried again -- different person -- and they were generous enough to provide a 25%-off code.
About a minute or 10 after I start charging it can be booted and used when it ran totally down, but again that's hardly ever the case with me. I don't travel so much for work so I don't really have to worry a lot about it.Thanks, RuffNek, that's very helpful to know.
Ruffnekk: I'm using an old Orange SPV M500 with Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition.Thanks for the reply! That all looks good but for the battery life (I'd forget to recharge it). So, you take a charger along with you if on a trip? How long to bring it back from the dead? Is the data still there when you revive it?
tsaint: The th55 is a joy to useThank you, too! Looks as if you've travelled the road I'm about to walk. I refer to a Palm on average about every three days. I know that's not often, but when I need it, I need it.
rjbull: does it have non-volatile memory? If your battery goes flat, do you lose everything?Oh, thank you, very good point! It's amazing how blinkered I can be. I haven't thought about that at all. I just made the tacit asumption that everything works as the Palm does. With the Palm, I can't get any data until I replace the batteries and sync with data elsewhere. However, if I see that power levels are low, I *can* do something about that no matter where I am.
