Mobysaurus / Re: Mobysaurus Thesaurus v1.0 Released
« on: September 17, 2006, 04:11 AM »
Hey, here's one: what about a way to call WordWeb for definitions, rather than reinventing the wheel? Wouldn't that be slick? WordWeb's already a very polished app with a good selection of definitions, supplemented by online search capabilities, and has a free version. 8)

What a witty idea, Cavalcader!  I didn't even think of it b4 and I'm now in love with this feature. :Thmbsup:

Thank you!!


p.s. implemented in v1.0.20

Carol,

I think you might find PrinterAnywhere of some help to share your printer over the Internet without causing yourself troubles, and it's free.  :)

Also I've been using Foldershare (a Microsoft service) to share my files with friends on the internet, and it's very convenient and reliable, IMHO.

mouser: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?board=195.0 seems to be the right place for this thread.

Good job, sri, and thanks for taking the time to make this screencast :)

While it's of great help for IRC users, I have some doubts about it going to the site official screencasts page.  ;)

1. IMHO, simple plain Internet Explorer should be the default browser for our screencasts rather than a customized Firefox with a lota buttons and toolbars, which I believe many viewers may find it confusing.

2. I don't think a lot of ppl out there use FlashGet as their default downloader

3. Dunno what is Xplorer, what it is for, and why I'd be using it to manage my files, etc.

4. Most users launch programs from "Start -> All programs", not Xplorer.

5. I don't have an "S" drive and don't think many ppl will be able to successfully install mIRC into "S:\mIRC" and run it.

6. It'd great if accompanied by voice instuctions since it might be hard for IRC newbies to catch the details of every step in this fast-paced screencast.

7. Google Talk chat pop-up during the show could be distractive to the viewer in some cases, also the flashing Azureus client in the tray area.


Just a thought   8)
