[Font Colours??]

... why isn't Powder Blue in the Font Colours?? Mouser????

- can it have to do with mouser being an American,
and as such are to use colors but not colours?



Maybe I will just leave that humor thing for others to handle...

Why is the site loading so extremely slow today?

Thanks, Curt. I actually use OpenExpert from BaxBex,...

Yes, I can remember that from this thread. I still think OpenExpert has the wrong layout, it should not replace Explorer 'Open With...' at once, but rather add to / integrate with 'Open With ...' - just as it is with the Mac plugin Zingg!:

[converting]

... - at least if photography or converting were the two biggest issues.

For IrfanView; do try the DLL from BAxBEx (scroll ALL down):

[attachimg=1] [attachimg=2] [attachimg=3]

 

[photography]

I have both. I use IrfanView every day [Ctrl+Shift+I), and XnView twice a year or so. I must admit there are many features in IrfanView that I have not yet tried to use, but I believe IrfanView would be "anyones" choice (obviously not) of the two - at least if photography or converting were the two biggest issues. But of course XnView still is somewhat 'nicer' and easier. Less nerdish, you might say.

Besides, noutters, I remember that I couldn't figure out how to set transparent colours on GIFs and PNGs with XnView - can it do so?

- only there is no result to post here...

Codestyle's font survey
 

[Warning]

1): 152 known fonts of 5549.
2): 361 fonts supported. 124 alphabetic. 231 new. 383 scanned.

I installed COREL Draw Graphics Suite and installed the fonts that came along with the trial, and ran the VisiBone Font Tests again:


1): 165 of 5549 fonts.

2): 406 fonts supported. 134 alphabetic. 266 new. 428 scanned.

Warning to those with very old slow pc's: don't do this!

If your computer is slow or not, you should remember first to disable your screensaver! The scanning in test number two takes 100% CPU for at least ten minutes...

good design has it's price ;-)
after all it's a work of art and skill

I dare to conclude you are not living in the eastern part of Germany...   

But of course you are right. It is good design and works of art and skill,
- and that will have its price.

Is this such a kind of 'external enclosure' you're using?  asked the IT-analphabetic Dane:

A 3.5" USB/FireWire hard disk enclosure

Wow; nice screen, miss!

- and you have Photo$hop  -  Awe!

You might want to check out the free DriveImage XML.

Yes, those fonts are professionally designed...

- and, by God: they are professionally priced!  

Helvetica
Futura
Frutiger
Palatino Family

[You got things to do!]

Thanks a lot for the tip   

Or maybe I should create an alarm to greet me at every startup?:

• You got things to do!

Or maybe not, I like my desktop as it is, and I don't like ToDo programs..

Anyway, I was at work, and got all too stressed up to remember the little things I use to do, when I came home.

I use Acronis True Image.....and keep my install files - everything is backed up to an external enclosure.

I believe you should be home and free then. 

-

However, you did forget to supply a link to Acronis True Image  [attachimg=1]

The price is $50 but if you abort the purchase it will offer a 10% cutdown, making it $45
- still a lot of money...

[attachimg=2]

I'm bookmarked to go there everyday!

It is in fact my starting page... only, I have to start, don't I. And that day I didn't.
 

[create Images]

No, it wont replace the System Restore in the way that you can use it to Roll Back. But maybe the question is not if it will replace XP System Restore or not, but if System Restore is worth anything to you. XP System Restore has been worth nothing to me, and you told that System Restore never worked for you. So there you have it! 

But do remember that Erunt only will backup the registry keys. Each time you delete a program / anything, the backup cannot recreate such. If you want a genuine Roll Back option, you will have to create Images of the entire PC. Erunt cannot do that; it will not offer you the chance to roll back if you have deleted the wrong file or the wrong program, only the chance to recreate the registry - and for this it will need the original files to be present. I have learned the hard way to keep everything, until the PC have been working for several days with any new programs / updates. Don't empty your basket too soon!

Combination of Outpost FW and Spysweeper was a real killer on my system response!

I was forced to unplug the PC and remove Spysweeper in F8 SafeMode (Win2K with Outpost). I asked the company what to do, but they only gave me instructions on how to remove Spysweeper, so I guess they are familiar with the problem...


Regarding Word (2003), I have made the choice not to have NOD32 check my documents when I work. Knowing my station is clean I think it is overkill to check every document, when you are not downloading / installing, and in the end the scanning time became too annoying.


I tried iTunes for some time, but gave it up: I could not find the goodies to match the bads. iTunes is like using Office Automatic Update and have an update that failed to install; the PC wil be useless for   s e v e r a l   minutes at each and every upstart.

Curt - just goes to show how smart you have to be to have a good command of the English Language!

In fact the two most difficult languages in the world are said to be Danish and Japaneese.
- Did you know that the English language has some 500 words from Danish...?   

A Nordic example (Danish, Dutch, German, English, Norwegian, Swedish and Icelandic):

All this talk about clipboards, and yet no-one told us to have a look at giveawayoftheday... 
yesterday!




[attachthumb=#]

"Phew!"?? I don't see it this way. The author doesn't pretent to be some kind of philanthropist or hide that he is trying to make a living out of programming. In my mind the problem is that I never cared to check these 'features', because I have no need for them, but only assumed they were fully available in the free version. (But who would ever need the $30 Spartan version then?) My bad it is.

[The M8 Free Clip WILL DO all these tricks!]

   When I'm stressed I'm tending to post too hasty - and I'm stressed right now: For two days we have been serving several hundred people more than usual, at work. Re-reading my "disclaimer" I can now see that becuse of my poor wording, I have yet again given the wrong impression: The M8 Free Clip WILL DO all these tricks! But the author removed the permanent memory part, meaning that these smart links will 'roll off' as soon as you add new clips, and so be almost worthless. Teasing only.

Hope I got it right this time... 

[are teasers]

DISCLAIMER:

M8 Free Clip features:

This is VERY embarrassing to me: Guess what, these links (Form Filling, Internet Bookmarks, Dial, e-mail, and Run/Open) are teasers to get you to buy the $$ version (M8 Spartan); the Free Clip can not do all this! But, as I wrote in another post, I do not want my clipboard to boil my eggs, I just want it to manage the clips, so I never tested if it really could do all this. And it can't.

Big time SORRY!   

[attachimg=#]

Spartan has all the features you would expect, clip preview, sound, keyboard only pasting, automatic web bookmarks, automatic email addressing, form filling, web logon, phone dialing, program launch, and bulk paste. It pastes graphic clips directly into Outlook Express ( You can even have it automatically reduce large photos) and it has onboard editors for both text and graphic clips. It even includes its own built in backup and restore system to keep your clip files safe.

I took at it as "no=I don't generally use it" and "never=I NEVER USE IT EVAR!"

Almost the same for me:

"No": It so happens that I am using something else, but if 'this or that', I might use 7-Zip.
"Never": I am not using it, and never will and never have - and I hate it.

"Blue": 7-Zip makes me sad...   

So I have added "private bytes" to the view. I never understood before what that is...
- thanks for yet another explanation! 

And the answer is "5 MB private bytes".
