Mini-Reviews by Members / Re: When You Pray App to help people devote more effective time to Christ in prayer

« on: February 13, 2025, 02:36 PM »

I have the app called "The Bible" and will sometimes shift between versions to see another translation.
The versions I use more frequently are the NIV, ESV (which you have, thank you!) and sometimes the CEV (Contemporary English version).
Just for giggles, I've even checked out the "YALL" or Y'All Version Bible.

Great work - looks really interesting and well done!
Do you plan on having an option for additional versions?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Toolbar at screen top does not appear when Windows opens

« on: July 12, 2024, 02:51 PM »

I don't think x/y coordinates exists but here is a check for you to make sure the value in screenshot isn't set to a low value (value of 0 = invisible as noted in the window) making it invisible to the eye. Even with that value at 0 if you hover over the correct place (should be the very top and the center of screen if docked to edge of screen) it will still show the bar it just wont show the place to hover to show it. Another to check is that last checkbox in quick capture bar portion of the settings page highlighted incase it is displaying off screen maybe docking it will get it to show back up if it is unchecked.

Thanks for the quick reply. As (hopefully) shown here, my settings look to me like they should be working correctly - transparency was 255, changed it to 250 for giggles, no change. I had the default set to dock to the edge, but just now unchecked that box and applied changes, then checked the box again and applied changes. No luck, quick bar still isn't visible and doesn't appear when my mouse slides across the top of any one of my monitors - I've tried all 3.

Is there an .INI or .CONFIG file that specifies the X/Y coordinates for where the Quick-Capture Bar is located? I've enable and disabled that item by right-clicking the systray icon, but it's not appearing anywhere for me. I have 3 monitors and have not changed the primary monitor nor resolution. I'm wondering if it's docking off-screen somewhere?

I found a reference to it in the subreddit r/Powershell. I used it to help with PowerShell scripting and so far, it's been very helpful.

Living Room / Re: Assistance creating "fair" work schedule

« on: November 29, 2022, 12:55 PM »

I'm not sure when the 7 holidays are, so I'm not sure if this helps with that, but perhaps you already considered a rotation like this for month-end distribution?

A B C D
C D A B
D C B A
B A D C
(repeat)

It means sometimes people will have only one week break before having to do it again, but that only happens 3 times a year for each person, and it will happen to everyone, so in that regard it's equally unpleasant for everyone. In theory this one seems fair to me, but in practice people might hate having to live it.

-Deozaan (November 29, 2022, 12:06 PM)

I'll give this rotation a shot - it looks like it just might work!
Thank you for the feedback

Have you tried looking at not restricting it to full weeks? Try 5 or 6 day rotations or 8 days. More work to setup I bet but that would spread the holidays.

-pl5bnsf (November 29, 2022, 11:55 AM)

Using something other than 7 days would cause the shift change to occur on a weekend at some point. That's a hard "no".

Living Room / Assistance creating "fair" work schedule

« on: November 29, 2022, 10:19 AM »

At my workplace, we have 4 people that cover after-hours support, one week at a time, Wednesday PM through the next week Wednesday AM. With the new year coming soon, it's time to create a new schedule.

The issue we have with scheduling is that if we use a simple "A", "B", "C", "D" schedule, one person gets "stuck" covering month-end for 3 or 4 months in a row. Also, with the way holidays fall, one person seems to cover something like 5 of the 7 annual holidays.

This year I tried the schedule of "A", "B", "C", "D", "B", "C", "D", "A", "C", "D", "A", "B"... where the first in the group of four would drop to the last in the next group of four. Confusing, I know, plus that means people sometimes have a gap of nearly 2 months between shifts.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to rotate 4 people with a weekly coverage so that month-ends and holidays are distributed?

Living Room / Re: Who here makes ice cream?

« on: August 06, 2021, 10:19 AM »

YEARS ago, when our kids were younger, my brother-in-law and his family had a holiday party with friends and family.

We made "coffee-can" ice cream. I don't remember all the ingredients, I believe we used cream, vanilla, eggs, and probably something else. I know we had 3 smaller coffee cans (maybe medium-sized?) and 3 large coffee cans. The ingredients went into the smaller can with strawberries in one can and some chocolate syrup to another. These were sealed and placed inside the larger can. This was then surrounded by crushed ice and rock salt and was also sealed.

His house was on an incline and we split the families up into 3 teams. Each team would take their cans to the top of the incline where a "launcher" would roll the can to the "catcher" at the bottom of the slope. The catcher would carry the coffee can back to the top, the launcher would race down to become the new catcher, the next team member would be the new launcher. This went on for.. I don't remember how long, but it was great fun and at the end, we opened the can's to enjoy the cold, delicious frozen treat!

T-Clock / Re: T-Clock

« on: March 25, 2021, 08:16 AM »

I had this same issue - program was running but no clock was displayed in the system tray.
To fix it, I right-clicked on the taskbar and chose Taskbar settings, then in the Notification area of the settings window (about 1/2 way down), i clicked "Turn system icons on or off".
Clock was set Off, once I changed it to On, T-Clock display appeared.

Maybe that'll help?

Try CSVEd. I have had it around since version 1.4 and it's now at 2.5.6.

Nice! Man, is this program feature-rich!

I've been using Rons Editor and haven't had any problems other than the limit on rows. My company would rather we use Excel, but Rons was my preference.

Looks like CSVEd might take it's place.

Post New Requests Here / Idea: Task Manager "Lite"

« on: May 16, 2020, 07:06 PM »

For various reasons, we dont want to give access to TASKMGR.EXE on server sessions, but there are times when we do want them to be able to end a process that's frozen.

I'd like to present the user a prompt where they could key a username and/or a process name, showing results similar to what's found when TASKLIST is run. The user could then select a process and choose to kill it.

Task manager offers too many opportunities for the user to gain access to the desktop of the server or to run programs we'd rather they not have.

I considered using PowerShell to prompt the user, run tasklist with output to CSV format, then taking that to display to the user and using taskkill.Exe to end the selected program. Unfortunately, I've never written a script even REMOTELY similar to this!
