Planka, are you from, or to do with geovid.com ?

I notice you also promoted their Screen VidShot,
nothing wrong with that
just wondering,
(and there is a policy here that people state their affiliations if any...)

here's something similar but different
Exifer

*  Supports EXIF (up to 2.2) and IPTC data in JPEG and TIFF files     * Reading and displaying of makernotes by Canon, Casio, Fuji, Minolta, Nikon and Olympus     * Backing up, restoring and comparing metadata (EXIF/IPTC)     * Editing of metadata (for JPEG files only)     * Inserting EXIF data from THM files (for JPEG files only)     * Creating/inserting/rotating EXIF thumbnails (for JPEG files only)     * Customizeable view of metadata     * Export/import of metadata (CSV, Canto Cumulus, descript.ion files)     * Renaming and redating with various formats     * Lossless rotation (for JPEG files only)     * Cropping (with aspect ratio)     * Watermarks     * Slideshow     * Supports English and German language     * Runs under Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP (runs not under Windows 95)

not updated since 2002 but I still hear it being mentioned (as being good)
nice icon too - but I dont have it installed at the mo
in fact I hardly used it cause I dont tend to bother with exif info
but
I notice you can add comments (tags?) http://www.exifer.fr...ann.info/edit1_4.htm

also compare/replace, rename:-

I think I found a bug:
In the Options, where it says "Create backup on program close", I keep changing it to "Yes" and it keeps going back to No.  That's why I didn't have backups saved that one time.  The setting doesn't stick.

-superboyac (December 10, 2007, 11:40 AM)

same here - I hadnt noticed cause it's set by default to do backup every 5 mins

Mike, I'd say it'd be nice with any ale - I guess the mix was the origin of the "Cream ales" idea -
cause they never had creamy heads [way] back then
but I'm not sure...

Sláinte anyways

was thinking IPA rings a bell somewhere...

google found me this..
The International Phonetic Alphabet now has its own beer!

but of course now I remember - I drank it on holiday in Canada actually -
it made it to india but not to ireland...
[for those who dont know it's india pale ale - sent out to india keep the colonists happy]

Irish Cream Ales is a relatively new thing to me -
years ago, a mix of guinness and smithwicks ale (which isnt creamy - in ireland at any rate) produced a "Black & Tan"
which was something similar - but darker, naturally

sort of off topic the name smithwicks never made it to germany because it sounds like this

Some 8% (vol) beers are fine, but above that (with the beers I've tried) you either enter the stout realm (struggle to get it down, struggle to keep it down)

-f0dder (December 09, 2007, 11:47 AM)

strong stout/porter can be nice
-
generally the stronger it is = the sweeter it is
guess it depends on taste ?!

...and if you want something for the thirst, you're in big trouble here

« Last post by tomos on December 07, 2007, 04:58 AM »

curious!
as of now,
this thread has been "(Read 387 times)"
but,
the jpeg of procrastination chart has been "viewed 1460 times"

which means each person (per read) has viewed it 3.7726098 times (roughly )
now in order to view it say three times you have to click it at least five times -
(so as to "minimise" it before viewing it again)
so we could say 3.77etc = 7 clicks per person (more roughly)

do you think are they avoiding work or something
or is it just me

Great! There are a few things missing to be an Evernote replacement, one of which is IE and FF (and hopefully Opera) right-click menu to copy content...

Does anyone at DC know how to do that? Initial search of the web did not give much...

-PPLandry (December 06, 2007, 01:07 PM)

I believe Opera is a major problem for everyone that way - it's the reason I use FF - Surfulater cant manage Opera (or should that be the other way round )
