My development system is Windows XP. I will see if I can find the problem on Windows 7.

Living Room / Re: Can This Journalist Be Replaced by Software and Mechanical Turk?

Mechanical turk uses humans, and is based on the original chess playing robot. It divides tasks and gets people to complete them, who get paid from $0.01 per task. Some tasks can be pretty easy for a person (5 Google Street View images may be displayed, and you are asked to say which of them shows the target address best) which would be almost impossible for a computer.

Finished Programs / Re: DONE 07/19/05 - IDEA: Capslock reverses case of selected text

What would be useful would be to autocorrect shifted characters where one hand or the other is shifted to left or right, I've done that too many times to count. Although that would probably be better as a different program.

Yay, I won the Sagelight Image editor and what looks like a great icon editor as an unexpected bonus too ;) I've been working hard on DCDisplay, and have been writing scrapers to grab lots of data to help populate a comic database. I've got so many features planned, I will still be working on it by the time there is a NANY 2012 (The Apocalypse Edition) :)

For those of you wondering where the new version is, I decided to include as much data as possible so I wrote a scraper for Comic Vine to get the details of all the characters and I am using GCD to get lists of all publishers, titles, issues and stories and I'm writing extractor to convert the format. Since the data is not needed if you don't want to use the database (and is also over 100MB in size), I will put that data on rapidshare as an optional download.
