General Software Discussion / Re: Do you use Desktop Widgets?

« on: November 05, 2007, 05:40 AM »

Widgets?
Well I use ClockX - its cool clocx.fi.cx - looks good feels good - no end of faces & Desktop Calendar http://www.desktopcalendar.tk/ - before winXP put the date in the system tree I used a Widgets that did & allowed the date to be copied. Since I would use date copy every date to post date into things I asked Desktop Calendar to include it & he did. I use this program everyday - its fast & easy. That's about it on the Desktop. I use a dual monitor & have played with MultiMon Taskbar (free) & UltraMon (very good but shareware) When I go to use Scripe overseas I run Sharp World Clock - beautiful shows as many time zones as you want with lovely clocks etc http://www.programming.de/index.php - a great help & when I'm on a time limit I use Sharp Timer which he wrote for me to time my PowerPoint presentations. Johannes writes great programs I think

I was always a sucker for programers - when a young lad starts & unlocks what to me is a mystery I try to support them. I've been mucking about with computers since 1981 it takes all my time learn to be an "end user" let alone write the stuff

Don't ask about me system tray

Screenshot Captor / how to set the email option in screenshot captor 2.32.02

Hi
call me dumb! but i can't work out how to easily set up the way to send an image to email - I use it a lot when reply to requests from support people who always heaps of info - if only i could send them to screens quickly when i reply to their emails.  thought i could just click the email link - then i found it hard to work out what to do - then it just shot emails of without any record of them being sent in my outbox - i think that it must bypass my email program in my case outlook. it would be wonderful if it just knew the email reply that i had open & then added the image waiting for more before i send it.

actually it would be nice if an option was for an attachment or actually in the body of the text as so many wont accept attachments.

1. how to send a captured image by email
2. could you change the program to make it easier

thanks a lot I use your work lots of the time - all the best

regards Dan

« on: March 13, 2007, 02:14 AM »

well - I started on a Panasonic dos machine - had 3 of them - that is after having Commodores 64 & 128 - the software was Verse Search very expensive bible program - I still use it - the original programmer tells me he is retiring & there will be no more development - Pity its search function was (is) like greased lighting
Accounting packages kept in Dos & I sort of missed win 3.1
I spent money on utilities
Ramsgate - the first memory manager
Xfile Pro
A great backup program - I’ll have to look through my old 51/4 floppies for it
I always like to register - I'm fascinated by the thought of people working away to write code over which I'm completely baffled - I often send words of thanks but this is only since we could go on line - I used to have to reduce the packets to a very small size to get them over dirty phone lines & would send a print file ready to print cheques to an office 150 Ks away - I was fascinated that I could do a search in American universities by using satellites in the late 80's
WordStar was my best word processor - actually I have the macros to make word act like WordStar
my early "posts" were fun I actually had a tip printed in the WordStar users mag. My trouble is that I forget so much - I can still program a 4th generation relational database but use one now that ports to windows & Mac that only my daughter can use -
PCTools
splitty
norton
creative sound drivers - used to drive me nuts
cleansweep
boxer text editor - still use
windelet
coloradobackup
removeit
quickline banking
winpay
xtreegold
pctools pro
superevoice 2.2
arcada backup
maxtor max blast
th list goes on
