i just checked with the post authority and i can't do that because of the different dimensions.. :( maybe a img2postcard utility could fix that..:)
if you crop your image  :-\ ??
here you're allowed to range between 2 different sets of dimensions

I like the make your own postcard image [or customise one] idea!!
photo(s), collage, photocopy, photoshop whatever
makes it more personal on the front as well as on the back :)

dunno whether this is already covered by ccleaner:

Find My Credit Card software is intended to show you private info, which you may not know of, and erase redundant information posing hazard to your security.

Perhaps, you have no idea that your computer may contain your private information which you have long forgotten about. These may include your credit card information, login names, passwords as well as cookie files tracking your Web surfing habits. The Find My Credit Card software finds all personal information and suggests its unrestorable erasure. Please bear in mind that no antispyware will save you from information theft. You need to be aware of what and where sensitive information is stored on your computer and purge it on a regular basis thus making information theft useless.

General Software Discussion / Re: Synchronisation tools
« Last post by tomos on October 28, 2007, 01:23 PM »
Doey any of the tools above support Realtime synchronizing?
e.g. I change a file, the program discover this change and sync the file to the backup directory.

masu
[edit: this not synching but versioning - still very worth a look]
you should have a look at Filehamster - there's a couple of threads about it lately:
https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=7492.0
& a list:
https://www.donation...2;search=Filehamster

there's now a paid version but the free version is still very comprehensive

they have very good forums too

I think Brett has beat me by a nose, or whatever
I'm currently on this one

without the help of imaging software, no partitions, well C:  :)
3GB free out of 60 at this stage..

It has worked very well over the 4yrs 9months - running into lots of little problems lately but think that might be more to do with being overly full  :-[

In fairness I moved to new computer about a month ago (install 6 weeks old)

plan to do a cleanout/reinstall/etc on the older before I forget all the stuff I learnt sorting out new pc

thanks for all those details nontroppo   :Thmbsup: :)


I used to have two different installs for me & the other "user" - we dont even have seperate user accounts
In fact I still do have 2 installs, no 3 - I have the "portable" version as well -
must read up your link about profiles  :up:

a nice thing about opera compared to FF is that you can have separate versions of it running at the same time no problem

Speaking about the product itself, can it translate a group of words (i.e., a selection of sentence or sentences)? If it doesn't, is there any alternative (freeware preferred) for German->English?

dont know would this help :
http://german.about....rary/bltransltxt.htm
or
more generally:
http://www.google.de...amp;client=firefox-a

I use Leo but that's just a dictionary -
If you need some post-translation-proofreading/checking & if it's not too much stuff let me know I might be able to help.
But if it's technical forget it  :D

General Software Discussion / Re: New version of Process Explorer available (11.03)
« Last post by tomos on October 27, 2007, 06:49 PM »
It seems to be available on the system display but not on properties for individual processes.
...

ahh, that's where I saw it. thanks Carol!

I thought the main page was CPU, memory & something else
hang on -
from help:
mini graphs for CPU, memory, and if on Windows 2000 or higher, I/O history
&
this I had edited from above quote (now I see - it says "System Information dialog" ) :
On systems with multiple CPUs the System Information dialog includes a Show one graph per CPU checkbox. Checking it switches the display into a per-processor view. Hyperthreaded (SMT) processors sharing the same core and NUMA processors sharing the same node are grouped together and the mouse tooltip shown when hovering over a graph displays the processor and core or node numbers. Note that the mouse tooltips for a processor graph show the name of the process that consumed the most CPU on the entire system at the associated time, not the process that consumed the most CPU on the particular CPU.

Living Room / entertaining signatures
« Last post by tomos on October 27, 2007, 06:39 PM »
I've seen some very entertaining signatures here

problem is people change them after a while & I think what was that one -
I seen references in posts as well to signatures that have obviously since changed

so
I thought: start a thread  :idea:

heres a few:

I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
/Calvin
that's from Curt who had one previously about Computers & Swahili which was very good too ...

"Some people have a way with words, other people,... oh... have not way" - Steve Martin
Darwin  :up:

dug out this one from app103 from august this year:
"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." -- Albert Einstein
;D ;D

I know there's lot's more - noticed any lately?

thanks Carol

wow that firefox is using lots of memory (closing a few tabs helps though - only 50 now :-[ )


dunno should i be starting new thread with the following:-

I've noticed in other posts/screenshots:
On systems with multiple CPUs the System Information dialog includes a Show one graph per CPU checkbox. Checking it switches the display into a per-processor view....
.
I noticed this on my new dual core (intel) computer once or twice but then no more

processexp03.png

I wonder if I changed some setting but dont think it's optional - it's there or not I reckon...
Anyone come across similar problem ?

General Software Discussion / Re: opera 9.5 beta out
« Last post by tomos on October 27, 2007, 04:58 PM »
great

I usually let updating go for a while cause it's not my main browser these days
& what with having to download each new version & install yourself
I always forget the advantages/disadvantages of classic & non-classic installers

As far as I remember I usually install for all users - I think thats the way stuff gets saved in the installation folder as opposed to user-data...

I guess it will pick up on current settings anyways which are customised.
(Can always make backup first in case :))

if anyone could give brief summary or a link it would be much appreciated!

« Last post by tomos on October 26, 2007, 02:15 PM »
I'm sure

make that I've definitely read about something similar done by somebody - using a script(?)
I think it was here - maybe in the Getting Organised Experiment - does that ring any bells for anyone?
Of course there was so much stuff linked to from there...

I've absolutely no idea what to search for but hopefully that might trigger someone's brain who has a better search/memory function than mine ?

General Software Discussion / Re: Looking for a Profile Desktops
« Last post by tomos on October 26, 2007, 09:28 AM »
my idea was simply to change from one set of icons on desktop to another
nothing else

I don't see how you could do it without virtual desktops?
I have no idea - I've never even used Virtual desktops cause they're overkill for what I had in mind

eg I could have my empty desktop,
shift+Tab or whatever to Graphics, office, tools

I think psionics has a similar idea but with a fancier gui :)

Hi all,

my name is Wolfgang, I am from Germany. I am 41 years old and computers are just a hobby, not my profession.
I have come across this forum, when I searched for tips on programming/scripting: AutoHotKey -> Skrommel -> DonationCoder
My impression is: DC is the friendliest place on the net.

hi Wolfgang!

General Software Discussion / Re: Looking for a Profile Desktops
« Last post by tomos on October 26, 2007, 09:13 AM »
an easy way to swap desktop layouts ... All without setting up _____
or
without using virtual desktops

I think that's part of request, psionics?
if not,
well that's what I would like :P

main difference i believe not using Virtual Desktops is that programmes shown in taskbar aren't affected

General Software Discussion / Re: Gmail rolling out IMAP Support?
« Last post by tomos on October 26, 2007, 03:21 AM »
IMAP, all the messages exist and are managed directly on the server. This means that if a user move a message to a different folder, replies to or deletes messages, or anything else, everyone who subscribes to that IMAP account in their email client will always be in the loop.

must go read up about imap -

 :-* would'nt it be nice then to have an imap email client where if you tag mail, it would be reflected in gmail :-*

I currently tag stuff in Thunderbird (for what it's worth) & have some filters setup in gmail,
but basically everything gets archived when downloaded to client

Brandon,
which version would you recommend for someone who barely knows what an exe file is ?!
(I will be able to help out - on the phone though)

I guess I'm wondering whether to go for the Beta or not?
It's for my sister who knowing her probably wont get to download it for a while,
by which time you probably have another 20 updates out :P (or maybe not - I read you got to study a bit as well..)
So,
in general would you recommend the stable version or.. ?
thanks, tom

General Software Discussion / Re: SQLNotes...what is it exactly?
« Last post by tomos on October 24, 2007, 12:33 PM »
You can download the sample database from the www.sqlnotes.net or read the same info on the SQLNotes web site.

You can also, put it back in by simply drag-dropping the web-site content to the HTML editing pane. That's how it was created in the first place!
@Tomos,

Were you able to get the text back using one of the 2 methods?

I downloaded it fine thanks -will try other method too though!
