General Software Discussion / web automation

« on: July 18, 2014, 11:48 AM »

hello

for Windows automation, Autohotkey seems quite powerful

but what about web automation? like simulate clicks, checks, web actions like select text, save text, save files, open links, etc

many years ago when I researched this field, there were limited options

Selenium, Greasemonkey, Chickenfoot, etc existed, but none had any straightforward powerful web automation approach, well developed as Autohotkey (with numerous commands and event triggers for pretty much everything)

any update?

thanks!

General Software Discussion / Bitcasa alternative

« on: July 13, 2014, 06:47 PM »

Hello!

I am generally satisfied by Bitcasa, but it interferes with an online game I play and it makes it sluggish!

So, is there any alternative?

That will monitor and maintain an cloud back up of specific local files and folders?

Free please!

Thanks!

General Software Discussion / which forums you use for PC troubleshooting?

« on: July 08, 2014, 02:01 PM »

hello!

I used to use a forum, I don't remember its name, but now it's pretty much dead

Also, some other "famous" forums, like Tomshardware, are populated by kiddies and noobs, I never encountered a really useful advice there.

Any decent forums for PC troubleshooting, where they are frequented by really knowledgeable people who respond quickly?

thanks!

General Software Discussion / record screen

« on: July 08, 2014, 01:50 PM »

hello!
can you recommend me please a good freeware without limitations to record screen?

I tried Camstudio and apart from installing NetCrawl spyware without asking me, it failed to record! It said something like AVI compressor could not be used, use default instead? I clicked OK and it reopened the dialog box. Miserable failure....

Thanks!

Living Room / can you help me please with my interview?

« on: April 28, 2014, 09:54 AM »

Hello!

Can you help me please with my interview?

I am about to give this interview for an organization and I will be asked to give evidence about the following, using the STAR technique for interviews (Situation, Task, Action Result).

• Core Competence – Collaborating and Partnering
• Core Competence – Leading and Communicating
• Core Competence – Delivering at Pace
• Knowledge about the organization
• Understanding of the key features of a system

I have already done my research and I attempted to answer the questions, but I would like input from other people, in order to combine opinions and come up with improvements in my responses.

So can you tell me please what you would mention for the above subjects?

Your answer would be nice to be specific (ie. specific examples) but also a general plan of your response would be ok, eg. regarding 'knowledge of the organization' one could include the number of employees, the budget, the goals, etc.

Thanks!

Living Room / application help

« on: April 05, 2014, 08:52 AM »

hello!

I am trying to find a company to train me in software development. I have searched on the internet for software development companies, but most of them are companies with a small team that takes over projects and I don't feel such companies will have the resources and willingness to employ me as a trainee.

Can you suggest me please which other companies I should contact in order to have more luck? For example I don't think I will have any luck either, if I contact a big financial company, which will have to make a whole meeting for me in order to employ me. I don't know what companies to contact, they have to be medium size I think, but with a dedicated software development team.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

General Software Discussion / how to download the text of webpages?

« on: November 20, 2013, 09:50 AM »

hello

I want to download/save the text of a webpage as it appears when I open it in a web-browser (and automate this, as I want to do it for hundreds of webpages)

unfortunately, trying to download the webpage, results in saving the source of the webpage and not its text

for example:
http://www.exportfoo...es/688-abc-nutrition

this webpage in its text has the email [email protected]
but if you try to save the webpage and open the downloaded file, this email is NOT present (it needs to run a javascript to display it, in order to prevent spambots)

any idea how to overcome this?

thanks
