Living Room / Re: Gadget WEEKENDS
« Last post by mouser on January 11, 2013, 10:36 AM »
For this weekend's post I have a double recommendation.

First, a tiny little cheap gadget that I love (I have like 5 of these in my house, one for every room), a Hygrometer:

A hygrometer measures humidity/moisture in the air; this one that I recommend not only measures the humidity but also keeps track of high and low temps for each day, and high+low humidity, which is nice to help see the fluctuation.

Now monitoring humidity in your house is not something you really *need* to do, but if you are a gadget lover it's a fun thing to do.  I definitely recommend getting more than one because they are cheap (under $15) and sometimes a little inaccurate, and it helps to have a couple so that you can compare values.

In the winter when you have heat running, it can make your house very dry.  Until I started measuring humidity and running a humidifier, my house could get down to 15 and even 10% humidity, which I never realized was an issue.. but when i started running serious humidifier the improvement was noticeable -- less waking up to dry eyes and throat, etc.

So.. my second recommendation is a serious humidifier.  Not one of those 1 gallon bedside things, but a serious evaporative console humidifier that can humidify the whole house, or large areas of it.  They are a little loud but fun.

Like:

Developer's Corner / Re: need to blur out most of system tray

Charge for your software, and don't feel bad about it at all.

There is no shame or anything wrong with charging for software, and your users would rather you succeed and be able to develop it than to not be able to work on it.

This forum and site is not focused on charging for software and you won't find discussions here about maximizing profits, etc.  - as we are interested in different things.  But we do not take the position here that there is anything wrong with charging for software -- and we encourage our members to find ways to support themselves and succeed -- however they define that for themselves.

Any good screenshot tool would probably do the job, but my Screenshot Captor program is especially adept at a variety of this kind of blurring/highlighting/hiding effect -- as well as some others like creating ragged edges, etc.

Give it a try and ask if you have any questions about how to use it to do what you want.

« Last post by mouser on January 09, 2013, 09:02 PM »
That's a very elaborate full color sketch!  And I like the red-orange glow colors too!

Maybe when it comes time to do a t-shirt we could ask members to post like a couple 1 minute pencil sketches of an idea and pick one to ask Hally to do in full color for official t-shirt?

I'm very interested in having a great t-shirt as I think it's my best chance at picking up women in bars.. So it has to be a nice tough-looking Cody who will help improve my image.

Find And Run Robot / Re: [solved] FARR freeze after quick repeat of dolaunch appcap alias
« Last post by mouser on January 09, 2013, 05:30 PM »
it is by design -- it's sometimes useful, though can be confusing and awkward.

best thing to do, as you've probably guessed, is to give it a more elaborate name so that it's not accidentally matching what user types.

i suppose one could make the case that it really shouldn't be treated as an exact match in this case, so wouldn't trigger the dolaunch.. let me consider that..

Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR Release v2.206.01 - Jan 7, 2013
« Last post by mouser on January 09, 2013, 09:42 AM »
Minor update, mostly bugfixes:
Version 2.206.01 - Jan 7, 2013
  • [MinorFeature] Added option to not differentially score different results within a single alias when using regex filtering option for the alias.
  • [MinorFeature] Added some plugin settable/getable values to bypass % variable replacement: showhtmlraw, rawuservar, launchmeta
  • [BugFix] Plugins were not being given a chance to act on explicit directory browsing.
  • [BugFix] querynokeywords being passed to plugins was not correct, it was including keywords.
  • [BugFix] AppCapAppendMemo functions were starting out with "Hello" in memo.
  • [BugFix] AppCap function could hang FARR if it was repeatedly invoked many times per second.
  • [Kludge] You can now use ;;, to separate multiple launch strings when specifying farr:// links inside html pages.
  • [Documentation] Thanks to DC member ewemoa for all the help with this release.

General Software Discussion / Re: A new harddisk for my old notebook?
« Last post by mouser on January 08, 2013, 10:52 AM »
I wouldn't look at it as throwing away your 10yr old faithful laptop.  I would look at it as retiring it and keeping it available as a backup, and transitioning to a new one before it dies.  You could squeeze a few more years out of it with a new hard drive, but depending on how much trouble+expense that is, it might be best to just keep it as a backup, and skip the upgrade that you don't need if you use it as a backup pc.

General Software Discussion / Re: A new harddisk for my old notebook?
« Last post by mouser on January 07, 2013, 09:06 PM »
The other question you need to answer is how easy is it to replace the hard drive -- in some laptops it's very easy, in some it's a real pain.

Just something else to factor in to your calculation.  I think 40hz advice was dead on -- if it were me i would leave this laptop alone and get yourself a new (used) one.

My gadget this weekend is an RF-based universal/learning remote:

21xNx1k03vL.jpg

http://www.amazon.co...aster/dp/B000FL9E6U/

What it is?

It's a learning/universal remote control with a very mediocre user interface design, but which can send based on RF signals quite far.  What that means is you put the base where your stereo is and you can control it from 100 feet away regardless of line of site or walls, etc.

I'm sure there are RF universal/learning remotes that are fancier, but this may be the affordable option (this brand can be found on ebay quite a bit as well).

Screenshot Captor / Re: trying to print with Screen Captor to no avail
« Last post by mouser on January 06, 2013, 01:15 PM »
Hi rcb, it definitely sounds like a bug in screenshot captor -- give me a day or two and i will have a new build and try to fix the problem.

From what x16wda says, it's clear that it's not a general windows 8 problem, so it should be simple -- it sounds like it's something as simple as Screenshot Captor having an issue with a default printer or previous printer set..

One thing you might try if you feel like it, is to exit Screenshot Captor, then find and delete the screenshot captor settings file which will be under your documents folder, under DonationCoder\ScreenshotCaptor\ScreenshotCaptor.ini

And lastly, if you go to your windows control panel for Printers, can you check if you have your printer set as the Default printer?
