Living Room / Re: Link Story: 100 things you can make yourself

Very interesting Jesse. As an avid DIY'r I've made many of the things on that list. Also, I like to cook and we definitely like the taste of my efforts over COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) goods, most of which is so blah tasting I can't believe people want to spend 500-10,000% more than it costs to make at home.

Don't think I'll be making soap tho, simple as it is ;)

Well, a day late, but looking forward to next year...

According to MapQuest it's a 6hr, 1 min drive for me. So Jesse, if your offering booze, food and accomodations, how about speeding tickets  :D

I'm sure I could shave an hour or more LOL

A while after the 2003 version was released there was some controvesy over the "Six Buttons" script and the concensus was it was not a virus.

Besides, the user must execute the script to get the message, otherwise it's benign, or at least, that's been my experience.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Synch Folders NOT files
« on: May 12, 2007, 07:54 AM »
If you are constantly sync'g a folder, for instance My Documents, you can also setup a shortcut...

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /K xcopy "C:\My Documents" "H:\My Documents" /E/T

where H is a valid path to another drive in this case, a USB stick for example. Note the quotes are necessary when there are spaces in the pathname. I use quotes all the time whether there's spaces or not.

Similarly, a shortcut to use Skrommel's EjectCD script...

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /C pushd "C:\Skrommel\CdOpenClose" && EjectCD.exe G

where /C closes the cmd wndo after completion, and G is the CD/DVD drive. I use 'pushd' since the path to the directory is not defined, ie, not in the path variable on my system. Also in the shortcut definition, the cmd wndo is run minimized, I use the icon from EjectCD and the shortcut resides in the Quick Launch menu - very handy, quick too :)

Amazing how many are not familiar with xcopy, yet it's fast, very functional and totally reliable
