General Software Discussion / Any tool that immediately shows boot time problems?

« on: March 08, 2017, 01:22 PM »

I was asked if I can take a look at a friend's computer this weekend.
Either Vista or Windows 7 is running on it. He isn't at home so I'll know
this when I'm there *yeah*

Is there any windows software that can display which auto-starting things
(processes, auto-start entries) are adding <x> seconds to the boot time?

The PC takes ~ 4 minutes to boot up^^ He defragments the only existing
hdd (1 partition only) regularly so defragmentation shouldn't be the problem...

Under Windows 7 Windows Performance Toolkit could be used to trace
the boot (via xbootmgr) but I hope there is something easier...

Apart from that, can anybody recommend (from personal usage!) an utility
that cleans & defragments the registry but only safe entries. Like WiseCare
et al?

N.A.N.Y. 2017 / Re: NANY 2017: Calculor - A Live, Handy, Dandy, Inline Calculator

Nice idea.

One issue though...

Windows Server 2012 R2 U1 x64 de-DE
When Calculor is started it "greets" you with a message box:
Sorry, Bub, the colour file list does not exist

Apart from that, a feature request:
The input box should be capable of displaying unicode characters.
E.g. when you use $n and paste a chinese character into the box you'll see only a "..."
Not very informative what you've actually inserted

Thanks Renegade.

Unfortunately Localbitcoins doesn't provide any options to buy bitcoins via paypal here in my area...

Anyone interested in a personal exchange? I'd pay 44$ via paypal to get back 40$ in bitcoins (10% fee).

Is there any cheap (regarding transaction + exchange fees) and reliable exchange platforms where I can use my paypal account to buy bitcoins? I need about 50$ (orig currency: €) until friday so it shouldn't take to long to approve the payment method. Not something from china if possible...

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions!

K Software seems to be really cheap in comparison to all the other vendors I've looked up. If the contract get's signed I try to get a certificate from them

Developer's Corner / Code signing certificate?

« on: October 16, 2015, 05:30 AM »

Hi,

can anyone recommend a particular code signing certificate authority (there are a lot of them...)?

I probably have to sign .exe files in the future (if the current commercial project is going to be implemented). Prices vary a lot and they are per year not a one time sale *sigh*.

It will not allow for tags such as "Surnames, Jewish—Lists and Histories" because the program breaks the tag into two tags wherever a comma is present.

Already anounced for v15.50.0100 (as you already know)

XY does not allow for wildcard searches

Wrong, added in v15.50.0000 (as you already know)

or for searches of text/values in custom columns

Wrong (-> scripting) *sigh*

XY also doesn't highlight an entire row of associated column values when selecting a file

Thanks but unfortunately html tags don't work either.

Dictionary - &lt;string&gt; | http://dict.leo.org/...?lp=ende&search=$$1 /ICON=icons\dictionary.ico

get's displayed without interpreting them:
dict (Dictionary - &lt;string&gt;)

How do I escape it properly that <string> isn't resolved at all and I get instead:

I knew about PCI-e mounted SSDs, but Shades said "hard disks" which was something (PCI-e mounted HDDs faster than SSDs) that I hadn't heard about.

That's the reason why I asked for a link. I'm not too stupid to use google myself...

Living Room / Re: The end of the hard disk

« on: June 24, 2015, 04:17 AM »

Around 1000USD a pop you have now decently sized hard disks that work according to SSD principles, but instead of using SATA, they use the PCI-Express lanes of your motherboard. If you think SSD's (or SSD's in RAID) are fast...these puppies run 4 to 5 times faster than SSD drives (at their top speed) in most usage scenarios. If you want really fast servers that have no problems shifting mountains of data around, SSD's are already old hat.

Link please

Find And Run Robot / Alias - Display <string> in description?

« on: June 24, 2015, 04:12 AM »

One of my aliases uses:
Dictionary - <string> | http://dict.leo.org/...?lp=ende&search=$$1 /ICON=icons\dictionary.ico

When I invoke it by entering e.g. "dic"
The description right from the icon states:
dict (Dictionary - )

So:
<string> is resolved to nothing

How do I escape it properly that <string> isn't resolved at all and I get instead:
dict (Dictionary - <string>)

General Software Discussion / Visualize pseudo code via flowcharts?

« on: May 14, 2015, 04:30 AM »

Hi,

I'm looking for a software that helps me to visualize program logic (e.g. for writing a string parser).

Maybe some kind of flowchart that contains pseudo code logic blocks (while / foreach / do until, etc.)?

Requirements:
- Windows
- NO Java
- Portable
- If possible: Freeware (but I'd pay for it if it offers advanced features)

Does anyone use a software like this and can share his thoughts?

Developer's Corner / [Solved] Regexmatch in PHP serialized data?

« on: May 08, 2015, 01:58 AM »

Hi,

Edit: Solved, I wrote a function that parses all pairs...

for example I have the following string:

$a = 'a:1:{s:9:"@test.bat";a:1:{s:24:"AJXP_METADATA_SHAREDUSER";a:1:{s:10:"users_meta";a:1:{s:4:"tags";s:20:"batch file {new tag}";}}}}';

Is there an intelligent way (the used regex engine (Visual Basic (no .NET) is "mostly" pcre compatible. One exception: Positive & negative lookbehinds aren't supported) to get the content of the innermost {} pair that is NOT inside quotation marks?

In this case I'd like to match exactly this part:

{s:4:"tags";s:20:"batch file {new tag}";}

The real innermost pair of {} would be:

{new tag}

but this is inside a double quoting

"batch file {new tag}"

and therefore shouldn't be treated as the innermost {}...

Does anyone still have a copy of this old command line tool (it searches the master file table of a NTFS partition)?
