Living Room / Re: Double-sided tape with one side to be removed later?

« on: August 31, 2010, 05:56 AM »

Try looking for double-sided tape to stick carpet down - you can find that here in Europe and it has one side sticky and the other sticky side covered with a sort of oil or grease paper that you can peel off once you've stuck one side down.

J-Mac - there's RGS-CardMaster, the gui is a bit special but it might do what you want but perhaps not everything you want ! I've been using it for a while.
You can print the whole address book as a spreadsheet, or all cards or a selection of cards.
You can search in many ways...

General Software Discussion / Re: Looking for a "last accessed - with date" application

@ majoMO - thanks for that - I hadn't thought of checking Nirsoft's list, I really like his software : clean, neat, stable and rapid, and BulkFileChanger works quite well for what I want.

@ skwire - great, YES PLEASE. I was hoping that someone here might think this is a cool little project...!

Thanks for the input. I think I'll stick with Karen's Directory Printer : it's really powerful, there are many filters (you can create your own), print to paper or to a text file in whatever order you choose.
So now I have this list of exe's in date order from today to way back when and I can get on with the Spring cleaning...

In fact ... just remembered this from Karen's KarenWare :Directory printer, you can choose which attribute to use including last accessed date.

Thanks for the replies - still not quite what I'm looking for !

"an app that lists all my exe's in order of last access date"

I know that some file managers are supposed to be able to do that but quite often they really show the "last modified date".

Thanks anyway.

General Software Discussion / Looking for a "last accessed - with date" application

« on: May 02, 2010, 08:25 AM »

I'm sure this exists, in fact I could quite well have it already but I'm looking for an app that lists all my exe's in order of last access date. If I do already have it then I've forgotten what it's called (and haven't used it in quite a while) which is why I'm looking for such an app.
I wanted to get on with the usual Spring clean and erase stuff that I've downloaded, tested and then forgotten about and it seems that if I can list all those apps that I haven't used or opened since say 6 months or even a year then the Spring cleaning will be a lot easier.

Any ideas or comments please ?

If you mean reader then I can recommend Abilon

Try this too : Index your files, as the name suggests this one does index your files but you can schedule that for during the night or whatever, and when it has indexed them then the search speed even for searches within files is really quite impressive.

Living Room / Re: Browser Wars: Why did you choose yours?

« on: March 05, 2010, 08:23 AM »

Stephen - I'm not saying that k-meleon is the best, I only think it is.

I particularly like KM because of the almost complete control that you can have over the gui including the menus, icons etc. There are many extensions, the majority are written by KM users and it is relatively easy to write and add your own (check out the forum). These extensions include some equivalents of those in FF : Adblock, Cookieculler etc. and a special mention goes to the Policy Manager which works like NoScript but imho is much better.

KM is also skinnable and you can even easily write your own skins !

The community is really lively, helpful and friendly, something I can't say about some other forums (not DC of course). If you have an idea for a good extension, just post it on the forum and usually in a very short time someone will write it for you !

KM is also one of the fastest browsers that I have tested, it loads almost instantly and doesn't take up too many resources unless you leave  a lot of tabs open with Flash content.

And by the way, the 1.5.4 version came out today

Just to jump in here - I use k-meleon : it is really fast, light on resources and very easy to configure to one's tastes. There are a number of excellent add-ons or extensions and a really friendly and helpful community.

I think I will never go back to FF or any other browser.

Thanks Mark and sgtevmckay. Yes, it could well be sp3 (316 mb !) I'll try to find a friend who has it on CD (cdrom) and see if that's the problem.

Well I did a completely clean install but now CD just freezes (egg timer), the PC isn't frozen, and I have to kill CD.
I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't a DOT Net problem.

CD v.1.52
win xp sp2
dot net ? 3 maybe (I can't remember how to check)

PS Just checked : dot net 3.5 sp1

Hi Markham,
here are the files.

I'm trying to use 1.5

Maybe I'll just delete everything and do a clean install and then get back to you - I presume you can do a clean install of 1.5 and not have to install it over a previous version ?

Circle Dock / Re: v 1.5 problems - freezes and crashes

« on: February 09, 2010, 12:13 PM »

Markham I didn't click on the "Refresh" button on the Dock Items tab of the Inspector - I simply clicked once on the Dock Settings item in the context menu. When I do this a giant bluish bar appears with "loading settings" across it and then the error message is shown.

I can't go further than this so I can't use the Problem Report tab of the Inspector...!

Would it help if I attached the config.ini ?

Thanks for replying.

When CD opens and I click on Settings in the context menu CD crashes and I get this error message (which of course I can't make head or tail of) and I have to kill the process.

Gone back to previous for now
