General Software Discussion / A "cheap" FTP
« on: March 21, 2006, 01:16 PM »
Latelly, i've been starting to doubt on gmail's "stability".
After reading Allen's blog and afew more refences, i now believe that i could loose all my precious e-mail data.
So, not beeing appologist of having this kind of data stored locally, and because i don't like to constantlly save backups, i found an alternative way of doing it: forwarding copies of my e-mails to another e-mail server.
Then, a friend of mine presented me with a even better solution.

There is a portuguese reliable ftp (www.zmail.pt) that can give me 10gb of storage and e-mail accounts for 15€ per year.
Having an ftp account can be very useful, so i'm thinking about getting one myself.

The thing is: This is a portuguese server. Knowing my country as i do, i know that in informatic matters, it's always more expensive than US, for example.
So, i'm asking if anyone knows of an ftp server that has similiar atributes, but is even cheaper :D

Post New Requests Here / DONE: If you have a many-buttons-mouse, you'll like this
« on: March 20, 2006, 05:16 PM »
If you've got a 6-buttons mouse and like to listen to music, i'm almost sure you'll like this!
This is a script that allows you to control any player that accepts the global keyboard media keys with your mouse's buttons.
I.E., you can control windows media player, winamp (if you enable the global hotkeys), zoom player, etc, by pressing your mouse's buttons.

Of course it wouldn't make any sense to just have mouse buttons bound to those actions.
That's why the buttons are only bound if you're in "Multimedia Mouse Mode".
This means that when you press "back button"+"right-click button" at the same time, you toggle this mode on or off.
When it's off, the mouse acts as normal. When it's on, the following keys are available:

[attach = 1][/attach]
  • Back button will send "previous media track"
  • Forward button will send "next media track"
  • Middle mouse button will send "pause/play media"
  • Mouse Wheel Up will raise the volume
  • Mouse Wheel down will lower the volume

I kept right mouse button and left mouse button operational even with multimedia mouse moed enabled because sometimes you just want to raise the volume or something while surfing at the same time.

There are also other keys defined for those who don't have a many-buttons mouse:
  • Middle-Click + Right-Click activate multimedia mouse mode
  • Middle-Button + MouseWheel Down sends "previous media track"
  • Middle-Button + MouseWheel Up sends "next media track"

I hope someone will find this as useful as I do ;)

Living Room / Unprotected Wireless Lans?
« on: March 19, 2006, 06:54 PM »
After having seen this matter being discussed lots of times in the IRC channel, i decided to make a poll about it.
Unprotected Wireless Lans is a common "problem" among less-informed people, and it can represent a real issue if you have a low bandwidth limit. (I call it a "problem" because it can be really good for some people - the ones that don't actually own the router :P)

Finished Programs / DONE: Farr's go away
« on: March 16, 2006, 03:10 PM »
Since farr still doesn't have internal commands, i made this small script for myself, and decided to post it here.

Using ctrl+space to bring up farr can be a problem, for example, the selection in emacs won't work, since it's bound to that same key, and also, you can't select various items in explorer, by pressing ctrl+space.

I configure it like this: Add it to farr's directory of scripts.
Then, when i want to use ctrl+space, i press ctrl+space to bring up farr, and i type exit[enter], to execute this script.
The script closes farr, and keeps itself in the tray.
It creates a hotkey, so that when i press [windows key]+F, it runs farr, and exits.

It's just an easy way of being able to use ctrl+space, and still be able to call farr up real fast again, since farr is all about speed and productivity ;)

(.ahk file attached, .rar contains .ahk and .exe)

How Crazy is this???

Ok, that is really original. But be careful, if you don't have a browser capable of zooming, you might end up with a big headache ;)
