I have talked to a few of the writers and they were notified about cuts about a week ago, but completely stunned that cuts meant the whole site. They still cannot really believe what happened and have no explanation for it, but you can be sure that they find homes somewhere else pretty soon.

I cannot see a difference when accessing sites like rapidshare.com. Not sure why..

Thanks Phil, Binmanager comes close to what I'm looking for except that it does not provide enough options (only delete by date). It runs fine on Windows 7 and Vista on the other hand.

I just read the article about the python command line tool Autotrash (written by Ronan on Ghacks, here is the homepage of the script.) which as the name implies automatically deletes the trash based on criteria like remaining disk space, deletion date and regular expressions.

I tried to find a Windows program that would offer a similar functionality but could not find one. What I'm looking for is a program that would automatically deleted the trash based on rules that the user can define.

A rule could be set to delete all files in the recycle bin that have been there for more than a week, or delete all files if the disk space gets to low or delete files that are not of the type doc or text.

It would be great if the program could be scheduled in the Windows Task Manager so that it could be run on a regular basis.

Maybe such a program exists, if it does I would love to hear about it.

Interesting application. Can you name one or two scenarios where you make use of the app?

Some great stuff is coming in the next 24 days, even some "everyone gets one" programs. But each to its own, it is not that I'm forcing someone to participate Wink

Yeah thanks for telling Wink You can check out this url http://www.ghacks.net/christmas-giveaway/ for the links to the giveaways and a sneak peek of the software that will be given away on the next day. Today is Winzip 14 day btw tongue

Thanks Mouser, I tried to add at least one tool for every situation (web browser, operating system). There are dozens if not hundreds more but I figured it would not make a huge difference to add another 40-50 web services that would all offer the same functionality.

No one ever agrees on top lists as it mostly comes down to personal likes and dislikes. I'd probably include a few of the games mentioned in my toplist but there are way to many games that will probably not make it into the toplists of the majority. Then some games are missing that are universally considered to be legendary, i.e. Warcraft 2 (or 3), Starcraft, Day of The Tentacle, Monkey Island, Kotor, Dark Forces II and so on Wink

And I really hate sites that divide their articles into little snippets to increase their pageviews.

Lashiec well it concentrates on software that we have reviewed which is basically all good freeware of this world (j/k). But yes, in essence it is freeware updates with links to additional information.
15  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Appnews.net - A new collaboration between some of our favorite software bloggers on: April 30, 2009, 05:21:29 PM
Hej all,

it's a joint project that was first supposed to become a feed only but we decided to create a website based on that. It basically offers a feed that gets updated whenever a software that has been reviewed at one of the sites gets updated. Most of it is automated but some has to be done by hand, for example adding new applications to the list. Rarst did all of the coding and stuff and we (that's Samer of Freewaregenius and me) did help shape the functionality and such.

It is a service to our readers that get the benefit of being informed when a good software has been updated with the option to read up on it at one of our sites. It's currently not clear where we go from here. Possibilities are to include more blogs and an archive among other possibilities. What we need right now is user input. If you got anything to add let us know. Good things, bad things, we like to listen smiley And if you have any questions let us know as well.

thanks again for the opportunity Mouser and everyone at Donation Coder tongue

Miles yes I used it. I really believed that the double-click was responsible for opening that folder. It did take awfully long and I might have clicked elsewhere in the meantime Wink Funny.

That's interesting Mouser. You can optimize your code by using a wildcard smiley

It's run by Daniel, one of the authors at Ghacks. We are also running a cooperation at the moment, a web development blog called http://scriptastique.com/. Worth a visit if you are into php, html and web dev Wink

I'm still getting an error when uploading the created file to http://www.validome.org/rss-atom/validate telling me

Syntax error within XML declaration (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"? version="2.0" version="2.0">).
Check the XML declaration (z.B. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>) on the basis of the W3C specification

I'm using the example.bat file and upload it directly.

Kwacky nice program. I have one question though. You mention sounds in the introduction, is that something that you still need to implement? Another question, what about the directory structure, do you have plans to allow multiple image sets?
23  Special User Sections / N.A.N.Y. 2009 / Re: NANY 2009 Release: JustCloseSomeTasks on: December 19, 2008, 06:06:17 AM
Guys it is actually not as bad as it sounds, the content stealing I mean. At least if they have the decency to link back to my website. If they do not I usually report them to Google Adsense and every other advertiser that they have. Most of these sites do not have means of contacting the owner. Telephone Issues are linking back to my site with the right keyword, that's nice. Technology Blog on the other hand is not.

40hz no offense taken, just wanted to correct the issue Wink

I don't think that we will get those letters anytime soon. It could happen but Microsoft did not seem to take an aggressive stance on news sites in the past and I doubt they will change that. It's free publicity for them. It would be a different story if we would have registered Windows7.com or some other premium domain name that Microsoft needs for promotion.
