Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Skinny Paste
« on: September 17, 2010, 10:05 AM »
You might try Notetab - a free/light text editor, which includes a clipboard.

To use the clipboard go to (menu) Document>Use as Pasteboard

General Software Discussion / Quicklaunch annoyance, question
« on: February 06, 2010, 05:00 PM »
I use the Quicklaunch folder for a lot of shortcuts (about 50).  When I open the QL folder it sometimes takes a few seconds for the shortcuts/icons to appear.  This usually happens the first time I open the folder, but can occur anytime.  I guess it needs to load the links/icons into cache or something?  I was wondering if there a way to force the QL shortcuts to be loaded - so there is no delay.   Any ideas?

Thanks

btw - I know there is a setting for menu delay or something like that - mine is set to zero.  I set menu animations off.  My PC runs Xp on an intel Core2 6300 and 2gb ram, and is reasonably fast for most things I do.

General Software Discussion / Voice thru Modem port to landline?
« on: October 21, 2008, 12:48 PM »
How/Can I use a (sony vaio laptop) modem port as a direct dial voice line?
    I want to use a set of usb/headphones with a landline.

btw-This setup is not for my own use - I have not had a landline for awhile, and I'm out of date re using modems;-)

thanks

Ive been a xplorer2 user for awhile - but just came across Nexusfile - it is the best IMHO.
Give it a try - no install version available - just unzip.

Thanks Steven - I'm looking for new/better ideas like that.  Powermarks looks good but since its marked for 'end of life' AND it is not freeware... that's makes it tough for me to choose as a new app.

I'm going thru my annual 'cant find a phone number - need a new phone list' ritual.  I'd like a simple database type app that is small enough to keep open without eating too much ram.  It also has to import/export is some common format like csv.  Something with PC+Linux versions would be a bonus but not required.  Features I'd like to avoid...

  • un-modifiable forms - The standard home/biz tab format does not work well for me - I'd rather have one 'form' with flexible fields - especially email > 1 or 2 email fields are not enough.
  • built in calendar/task management/etc
  • memory hog
  • pictures (dont need/want them in a phone list)

Any suggestions?

Developer's Corner / batch file question re cmd + color
« on: April 15, 2008, 08:31 AM »
For anyone still using batch files...
I customized the colors/font of my cmd window (on XP) by clicking the titlebar and changing Properties>Colors.
When I use my right click menu to 'open command prompt here" I get the colors I want.
I also have a batch file that opens a window with cmd /k but the colors default to black/white.
I read the color /? and cmd /? entries but did not figure out the solution - what "cmd" do I use in my batch file to open a window with the same colors/font as I get with "open command prompt here"?

thanks

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Personal Event Log
« on: December 11, 2007, 01:07 PM »
Updated Description:  I'd like a fast way to log a recurring event (that I am tracking) acutally happend.  My thought is a Program or Firefox Custom Button that, when clicked, adds the date/time to a log file.  Features that would be nice to have:
1. Works with or without the log file (text or html) open in a Tab
2. If log file can be html - record the selected event as an HTML table row.
3. Indicate the event was added by sound and/or message
The following enhancements would allow logging a few different recurring events...
3. Button includes a dropdown with entries based on my own text/vars (eg Event Description 1, 2, 3, etc)
4. Record the selected event as "Date/Time" plus "Event Description"
5. Default button opens the html/text file

Original Post...
I'd like a fast way to log a recurring event.  My thought is a tray icon that, when clicked, adds the date/time to a log file.  My use of this app would be 2 record when something (that I am tracking)  acutally happend.  Features that would be nice to have:
1. Indicate the onclick event by sound.
2. Ability to assign a name to the mouseover popup
3. Ability to assign my own (tray) icon
4. Tiny memory footprint

If there are alternative ways to do this pls let me know... I don't use AutoHotKey so that is not an option for me.  I'm on XP Pro.   I use Firefox 2 - maybe a bookmarklet/extension could write the time to a txt file?  I'll post a question about this option at www.custombuttons2.com

Thanks

Living Room / 2 favorites (Blocknote and CSEs)
« on: August 15, 2007, 02:20 PM »
Hi all,
This is an 'fyi' re 2 of my favorite tools... Blocknote - a free/simple html editor - great for notes, simple pages, email, etc., and Google CSE Search - If you search for 'Freeware' you'll probably find a few new "Freeware Search Engines", but it's a great tool for all kinds of research.  Creating CSEs is pretty simple too.... if you need one.

Has anyone used this?  http://seconfig.sytes.net/?cat=2

Looks useful but I'm not an expert in such things -thought maybe someone here would be.

fyi - I stumble on it at http://www.freedownloadaday.com/

Living Room / Re: Help/question re creating a key sequence
« on: July 21, 2007, 11:18 PM »
sure... I'll do that.   I am becoming more interested in 'why' altshiftkey did not work - just out of curiosity.   I'll try to learn a bit about autohotkey.... maybe there is a solution.
Screen Capture is not a problem - I have many capture programs.

thanks very much for your help!

Cuidado!

I am not sure what you mean by "altgr+shift+3v" but I press/hold the left Alt+ shift+3 keys and it works.
You can download the scrapture program - a tiny sreen capture tool - it is what requires AltShift3

thanks again

Thanks again - but it also does not seem to work... (but manually pressing altshift3 still works)
Just to confirm - can the first 2 commented lines (leftover from installation default script) be deleted?
 fyi  - the app is 'scrapture'  http://www.stereopsis.com/scrapture/

Thanks... my autohotkey.ini file is below.  the first 2 lines are from the default ini that comes with a new install - should they be removed?  If I uncomment them AutoHotkey does not load.   The program (scrapture.exe) is working - when I press AltShift3 it does it's thing.  But the code below - when I press F5 does nothing.  I'm not a programmer and new to AutoHotkey - so I'm sure the problem is me... what do I need to change?   thanks

« on: July 20, 2007, 11:31 AM »
Thanks for that...  but I have another quesion...  What about my useless function keys - is there a way to program a Function Key? (eg to do 'Alt Shift 3') ?

I'm sure a fancy keyboard could do this.. but I've got a plain old $10 model.
Seems like a waste to have those F keys since I hardly ever use them.

thanks again

Hi all,
I have an application that requres Alt+Shift+3 to activate.
Can I create a batch file that will perfrom this?

thanks for any suggestions.

Living Room / screencast-o-matic.com
« on: June 21, 2007, 10:45 PM »
This site allows you to create and store a 'screencast' (ie a movie/sequence of screen captures)
I thought it might be useful for developers/others to demo features of their software.
It is a free service.

Living Room / Firefox Bookmark tool to tag/index/search FAST?
« on: June 12, 2007, 08:48 PM »
I have a lot of bookmarks...and cannot keep them organized.  I think what I need is a way to index them so I can start typing ... and a tool (TBD) will bring up matching URLS, keys, descriptions. etc.   I know this is what Firefox does...but it just seems slow... and I'm thinking a dedicated tool would be better at the task. 

Anyone have suggestions?  I am going to try using Locate32 (http://locate32.webhop.org/) which I already run for local search...it has text search... but seems like there ought to be some product that is designed to  edit/index and search bookmarks very quickly.

thanks
