Which third world country is the one you live in?
For comparison purposes (and I really don't intend to brag, it's not good enough for that) even the most remote village in Turkey has reasonable (4-8 Mbit) dsl connections available, with unlimited data costing 30-40 dollars a month. If you agree to a data cap of 6GB per month you get to pay no more than 15$.

London, Canary Warf - my friend is living there and for 'bout two years his Internet speed on evenings & nights had been ~1.5kb/s (kilobits – no joke here). It changed some time ago luckily but even middle of civilisation may mean nothing if your provider uses crappy cable lines (BT sucks a lot).

[A-U-chan]

What language(s) do you need the phrases/terms to be pronounced? English, Japanese, Polish, other, all available languages?

The only phrase I need is mentioned A-U-chan in Japanese anime style. And I even have an idea how exactly should it sound but I'd like to get it from female mouths (and maybe more ”native” - anime fan perversions ).

I took a look on various Google provided links and many of them seem sufficient but prizes are too high for me. I am not sure should I truly spent 100$ (at least) for such a whim of mine (me?). To be honest: I am not even sure how much is it worth the trouble.

[Auchanw]

Hi all

Is anyone aware of some software or online service where I could request creation of an audio file with specific phrase made in specific voice?

The main idea / reason:

I've create my own blog recently with general complaining, stupid things and funny stuff - all with self made content and all in Polish.

What I would like to add is a post about improper usage of foreign brand names and one of such was a point of joke for me. Being anime fan I have noticed that Auchan^w could be spelled in Japanese style like A–U–chan (あーうーちゃん) - with emphasis on A and U letters. So now I'd like to have some voice acting done for that one particular phrase to use it on my website… and not to pay an arm & leg for it.

P.S. I know Google provides a lot of links for solution but I'd like to hear DC recommendations.

Where's the Double Facepalm one for the Picard jokes?

Take this one instead:

I've made some early spring cleaning recently and gained few enlightenments from it:

• men do not lose hair with age - something hidden behind bed is hardly called "lost"
• dozen tissues under bed does not equal vigorous sex life - this is simply cleaning & wiping,
• you can write on dust multiple times
• few years old bills on desk are not a mess - it is budget archive,
• hairs are perfect for cable shielding,
• dust in places hard to reach is called "natural perversity of inanimate objects"
• you can RAR trash bags,
• three keyboards on the shelf do not mean any of them works…
• …same for mice
• you dont need to sand a parquet floor - just buy small carpet.

"Overtime" - stupid as hell but good enough to waste time on it:

I have tried your DLL: numbers went to 8 and everything worked fine.
I 've got previous DLL back, retest and now everything is OK- very, very strange.

I have uploaded new AppData folder here:
http://fenixproductions.d...mbers.com/tmp/AppData.zip

Maybe you can find what's in it.

[vlastimil]

@vlastimil
They may be couple of applications which affects other application (like antivirus or Listary) but I doubt they are the cause.

The question is:
how vector workspace differs from raster one?

For raster all is here, for vector (layers or whole) - middle part is missing (the part you actually see the results).
It is strange because if I work with complex image I can create many layers: raster,vector,raster,vector BUT if I click through to see their content, I can observe hide & seek game with middle part of RWPaint.

[vlastimil]

@vlastimil
Package here:
http://fenixproductions.d...mbers.com/tmp/RWPaint.rar
I will keep it for a day.

That really looks like something from the older version is still in %APPDATA%\RealWorld\RWPaint\PlugIns - you sure the folder is empty?

There is no such folder on my system since I am trying portable version and I constantly removing portable AppData (it is recreated on RW startup).
I've even checked RW with Filemon and except some DLLs and Internet Cache, no other files are called from outside its directory.

I've also tested it with Win7 on my work PC + bro's PC and there were no issues on them. So maybe my WinXP is at fault?

[vlastimil]

@vlastimil
Ctrl+Shift does not fix it: for new vector image/layer I still see this sad message in the middle of the screen. I'd expect some kind of canvas but… well.

Is there a place I can download some Window Layouts?

It is discouraging to see "No user configuration is available…" for any kind of image I'd like to create.

Edited: Although there are some issues with vectors, raster seems to work after complete profile deletion.

@mouser
For the first par you're right. I am sorry but I missed difference between entire workspace and screen.

But for second - it is little different.
What would I expect is not to have fixed sized rectangle which is like an overlay but rather automatic shot instead.

Currently:
- navigate somewhere and hit fixed shortcut,
- overlay rectangle appears with mouse in top left corner,
- you need to click and screenshot is done.
And it doesn't work nice with timed capture and applications menus.

What I would like to get:
- navigate somewhere,
- hit shortcut,
- screenshot done - rectangle with centre at mouse position.

--
On the other hand: it would be also nice to have little more options for interface visibility:
-  mouse follow - allow SC editor GUI to be always shown on one (specified) monitor,
- w/o mouse follow - respect settings and i.e. have it always minimized.

I am just thinking how SC could be even easier to use for my 2 monitors…

[mouse follow]

I am working on multi-monitor configuration daily and I thought about small option called mouse follow.

Using it would mean that every screen capture would only take pictures for the screen where mouse is at (for me most of the screenshots done with PrtScr hit would give Monitor #2 only).
I understand that if I have both devices combined I can what I need but it is troublesome sometimes.

It would also be great to have fixed selection rectangle to follow this option too.
Every shortcut hit could give an image with already specified width and height for which the mouse is in the centre of it.

How many people do you need?
I can have 2 or 3

Played SEv2 and it was awesome.

small perfume sample

I'm curious what emergency this is for?

Sometimes you just want to smell nice (i.e. on meetings). Of course, it does not replace proper shower and may be used in "comb situations" too


But alcohol in it can:
1. make better fire,
2. be antiseptic,
3. make it easier to clean things.

It also helps in crowded winter bus where people sweat a lot or some homeless guys appear. It is better to inhale drop of it on tissue instead of stinky air.

Not all are gadgets but always nice to carry around:

[attachthumb=1]

• plastic rain coat / poncho,
• razor blades - was hard to find these in standard shop,
• tissues,
• lighter - Highlander Turboflame Twin Laser,
• small perfume sample,
• batteries - mostly used as my Canon camera emergency supply,
• 16GB pendrive,
• nail clipper,
• paracord line - dunno what to do with it
• card reader
• flashlight - Olight T15,
• pocket screwdriver set - like Stephen66515 has,
• ballpoint,
• multitool - Leatherman Wingman,
• comb.

Oh! And a needle with thread in my wallet.

Most of these were used many times.

Sometimes I also have my own "altoids box" with me
