General Software Discussion / Re: Anyone else having random reboots with Firefox 2.0.0.11

« Last post by tomos on December 12, 2007, 02:26 PM »

this prob not of help, but just in case:-

not sure when that FF update was but am using 2.0.0.11
I installed the grab & drag extension about a week ago & disabled it after a few days cause FF was regularly seizing up
everything seemed okay for a few days then today everything seized up (ff was minimised to tray at the time so prob not culprit), even process explorer wouldnt work so had to shut down after ctrl+alt+del (worked) -
I put it down to installing winupdates this morning & refusing to reboot all day long after.. (windows gets it's revenge )

but it does get extra good when you just have to laugh out loud ...
...and again when I reread.. 

I've tried this before just for kicks. If my recycle bin was a toilet, it would have been spinning around leaving skid marks all over the place before finally going down.

Sounds to me like it left a lot of crap around when trying to uninstall it.

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

I notice you also promoted their Screen VidShot,
nothing wrong with that

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:-

General Software Discussion / Re: SQLNotes...what is it exactly?

« Last post by tomos on December 10, 2007, 11:47 AM »

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

« Last post by tomos on December 10, 2007, 10:51 AM »

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 )
