Post New Requests Here / IDEA: fitness timer
« on: November 19, 2007, 01:12 PM »
Hi,

maybe such a tool (or a vaguely similar one) already exists, but I don't know it and couldn't find one.

My idea: a simple tool with 2 settings:
- number of intervals
- duration each in seconds

It would then just display something on the screen (in a way that's visible from a distance, so maybe by using 50% of the screen size) that alternates every [duration each in seconds], as often as wanted ([number of intervals]).

Another option could be a sound being played every [duration each in seconds] in addition to what's on the screen, so that it works with exercises where one can't face the PC too.

Would love such a tool!

PS: 30 pushups, anyone? (Not me [yet?]) 8)

General Software Discussion / split PDF files - context menu program?
« on: October 17, 2007, 08:04 AM »
Hi,

long time no type!  8)

Is there a tool that I could use like any other "Open with..." tool? I sometimes get PDF files of 2 or 3 pages and need to split them (always into single pages), which I now do in another program. Not the most handy solution... Any ideas?

Living Room / how to find out if external HD uses USB 1.x or 2.x?
« on: April 02, 2007, 03:12 PM »
Hi,

how is that possible? I have the feeling that it should *not* take almost a day to move 50 GB from one external HD to another. Both drives are what's being sold these days, not old crap.

Hi!

I know we have some users who are really experienced with backup programs. Here's your chance to offer a great solution! :D I want to most easily do this:

- backup certain files and folders from my HD to my USB HD #1
- backup the complete USB HD #1 to my USB HD #2 (which is connected less often)

I'd like it be more of a sync than of a backup operation, as only the files that are changed/ new in the source path should be updated in (and copied to) the destination path. Files that have been removed in the source path should be deleted in the destination path too.

It'd be great if I could set up all the source and destination paths *once* only and then, whenever I feel like it's time for a backup, just plug in the HD(s), start the program and hit a (few) button(s) to start the backup process.

Your optimal answer would point me to a software solution (does not have to be free) that is still in development.

Thanks!

Nice review: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2099014,00.asp

I wonder if anyone here already uses such a service.
