General Software Discussion / Splitting a large MP3 file based on .cue
« on: April 26, 2008, 04:10 AM »
Any app that does this without much fuss? I need to split a few large files for the iPod - smaller files apparently go easier on power consumption.

Developer's Corner / AutoHotKey: How to drag & drop _safely_
« on: April 18, 2008, 04:29 AM »
I've written a script to combine two of my favorite programs, AvaFind & Xplorer². The script selects the results (files) from Avafind and drops them to an X² scrap pane. It's running fine but since this is a drag-drop operation I would like to eliminate any risk of dragging the wrong source (and/or) to the wrong target. Both apps are positioned by the script before the drag-drop but if one doesn't load due to some errors or a third app gets focus at the wrong time the results could be potentially disastrous. 8)

And ideas how to eliminate this risk? Just ideas without code sample would be very welcome too.


F11::
; AvaFind small thumb preview in X2 scrap pane
IfWinActive ,ahk_class AUI40WndClass
{   WinActivate ,ahk_class AUI40WndClass
            WinMove 0,0
        ; preview pane running
   IfWinExist, scrap² - Avafind Preview.cida
   {       WinActivate, scrap² - Avafind Preview.cida
         WinMove, 1281,0
         WinMaximize
         Sleep, 300         
         Send {Alt}vpt
         Sleep, 300
         Send {Alt}vau
         WinActivate ,ahk_class AUI40WndClass
         Sleep, 300      
         Send ^a
         MouseClickDrag, L, 600, 130, 2470, 900
         WinActivate, scrap² - Avafind Preview.cida
         Sleep, 1000
         Send ^r         
         return
   }      
   ; preview pane not started yet
            else
   {
      Run D:\Xplorer2\Avafind Preview.cida, , Max
      WinWait, scrap² - Avafind Preview.cida
      WinActivate, scrap² - Avafind Preview.cida
      WinMove, 1281,0
      Sleep, 300
      Send ^o
      Sleep, 300
      Send {Alt}vpt
      Sleep, 300
      Send {Alt}vad
      Sleep, 300      
      Send {Alt}vvr{{}pictures{}}{Enter}
      WinActivate ,ahk_class AUI40WndClass
      Sleep, 300            
      Send ^a
      MouseClickDrag, L, 600, 130, 2470, 900
      WinActivate, scrap² - Avafind Preview.cida
      Send ^r
      return
   }
}

; not Avafind - normal behavior
else
{   Send {F11}
   return
}

General Software Discussion / Verifying if an email has been spoofed
« on: April 14, 2008, 06:42 AM »
A friend of a friend has been getting stalked for a while. Recently she and a friend both received the same email from each others addresses that neither of them has sent. She's going to call me up and I'll give her the usual drill about changing her pw from a new PC, hard to guess pw q&a, anti-keyloggers, etc but I suspect that their accounts may not have been hacked at all and the mails may just be spoofed to creep her out. They both still have access to their accounts and from the malicious track-record of the person stalking her, it seems highly unlikely he/she would allow this esp. after disclosing that the accounts have been "compromised". I myself have seen a few spam mails slip through the cracks to my inbox because they appear to be sent from the same address receiving them. Is there any way to tell an authentic mail from a spoofed one? Both parties use gmail.
