N.A.N.Y. 2018 / Re: NANY 2018 Mug/T-Shirt Design Competition

« Last post by tomos on November 08, 2017, 04:30 AM »

I tried running some existing cody images through style-transfer utilizing programs/services (e.g. deepart.io) to get things like:

-ewemoa (November 07, 2017, 07:20 PM)

only problem is the resolution is very low -- @ 300dpi, that images is ~ 65mm*50mm (~2.5"x2")
Not sure what resolution they use for the mugs, but dont think that would be enough.

Ewemoa I really like that image (and also the similar 1.jpg)!
-mouser (November 07, 2017, 09:42 PM)

big +1
those look great

Re adding of relevant text, it might be best to add the text to the image first, and then run it through that 'style-transfer' programme: i.e. cant think of a font that would look good on top of an image like that (but then I'm not a designer -- others may think different/better).

-kalos (November 07, 2017, 01:13 PM)

I only skimmed those threads but others seemed to think they offered good solutions & you didnt get back with concrete reasons for disliking them.

So it would be helpful to tell us what you have tried, and why it doesn't suit.

I know that you can add a hotkey to strip/change formatting -- it explains how to use it in second shot below (dont actually use this feature myself).

There's some good chess streams coming up for November ...
-TaoPhoenix (November 05, 2017, 09:12 PM)

please let us know more (how/where/when to access)
Sounds fun what you were describing in the previous post.

Below a couple videos from another channel I started following (agadmator's Chess Channel). I like him a lot -- he's got a very relaxed style, but is much faster moving than the other channel above.
-tomos (October 05, 2017, 10:51 AM)

added link in the above quote --
I'm still watching a good few of his videos. For me, it's interesting to be shown "what would happen if" etc. and he has a good style I find. He's rated around the 2000 mark himself. The first presenter I linked to (post#1 'Chessnetwork') is rated a lot higher (IM even, but not 100% sure), but his presentation was too slow for my taste.

I have no problem with where they get the ideas they present -- I just want something accessible (and entertaining).

I do find myself slowly copping on to what the next logical move might be in not very complex situations. But then the most interesting moves can seem pretty illogical until you see what follows.

Sultan Khan is a little more obscure - several decades older, and also dating from a time in chess culture where we now cover more ground in 5 weeks than they did in a year "back in the day".
-TaoPhoenix (October 08, 2017, 03:10 AM)

I have heard that 'modern' classical chess is often about grinding down and can be pretty boring. At my level, *any* chess game is of interest. But, again, the more dramatic ones are more entertaining. And I find the post-analysis of much more interest than the couple of 'live' videos I've seen. A good example is this great game live:

Find And Run Robot / Re: How to search for specific file types?

« Last post by tomos on November 06, 2017, 07:27 AM »

I just type .exe or .doc or whatever.
You probably know that search is limited in Options, you can add folders IIRC (havent changed my settings in a long time).
-tomos (November 06, 2017, 04:31 AM)

The search is still slow. An indexing feature will be great.
-david787 (November 06, 2017, 06:56 AM)

I believe it's a possiblity. But currently, for real searching that needs to be fast, Everything is probably the best solution.
There is a plugin which integrates it with FARR if you wanted that, not sure how well it works -
https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=18724.0
and if you have UAC problems:

just to add what others have said earlier.. for my Win7 64-bit, i used this guide to launch Farr and Everything (version 1.2.1.451a) in admin mode without UAC prompt and TinyEv just works!

S3 has built in redundancy that you can control. There is a personal health dashboard that shows all of your resource groups that you're buying into. They're all amazon, but for instance, I have buckets replicated in Northern VA and Northern California.

mind you, presumably you dont know where exactly the other backup services are storing their/your data.

« Last post by tomos on November 01, 2017, 01:57 PM »

as said, I was surprised so many sites were using S3.

37 Backup Services all using S3 means there's really only 1 backup service: S3. $:-\$
-Deozaan (November 01, 2017, 01:36 PM)

if what you imply -- that it's easy -- is the case, hopefully all other backup programmes will be offering this kind of support soon as well.

General Software Discussion / Backup4all v.7 supports 37+ online backups (!)

« Last post by tomos on October 31, 2017, 01:30 PM »

I dont use Backup4all myself but was impressed by their claims for the newest version:

37 (and counting) Amazon S3 Compatible cloud destinations added (PRO only). There are multiple cloud storage providers that use Amazon S3’s infrastructure to store their clients’ data. Backup4all now supports more than 37 Amazon S3 Compatible cloud storage providers so if you have an account with them you can quickly configure it to store backups there. Here is the full list of providers added in Backup4all: Akaza, Aruba Cloud, Caringo, CenturyLink, Cisco, Claudian, Connectia, Constant, DDN, dinCloud, Dream Objects, Dunkel, T Cloud, Exoscale, Google Cloud Storage, Green Qloud, HGST, Hitachi, HostEurope, IDC Frontier, LeoNovus, Mandic, Minio, NetApp, NiftyClouds, Numergy, QNAP, Revera, Scality, Seeweb, SwiftStack, ThinkOn, Tiscali, vCloud Air, Verizon, Walrus and Zettagrid. You can also use a custom S3 compatible server by entering the specific information.

Also I didnt know that about so many online backups using S3.

Note that Upgrade prices for Backup4all are hidden:

Guess it's been quite some time since i last took Palemoon for a ride.
-dantheman (October 30, 2017, 07:33 PM)

I use PaleMoon as my defualt browser.
The one thing it's not good at (nor was Firefox) is that is eats lots of CPU when watching video (e.g. youtube, whatever). And even more when full screen.
Internet Explorer can do this properly: I even looked at the possibility of changing to IE but missed too much (couldnt find much in terms of add-ons).

FWIW the latest Firefox (well, a recent update -- sry cant remember which) improved cpu usage when watching video. But then we're back with the extensions problem...

EDIT// I dont have a graphic card on either machine here -- maybe the experience is better with one.
