Living Room / Re: Double-sided tape with one side to be removed later?

« Last post by lanux128 on August 30, 2010, 03:02 PM »

normally a double-sided tape should work just as you described. a quick trip to the local DIY/hardware store could give you several choices..

here are some samples i've found on Amazon..

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Updated: GooglePlus - View Google search results in FARR as you type

« Last post by lanux128 on August 30, 2010, 12:55 AM »

I have found that this problem showed up with the lastest FARR version (v2.87.03). I tried many things to solve it but the only thing that saved me i going into the plugins source and have a look. Anyway quick fix is to go to FARRDIR\Plugins\GooglePlus\fscript.js and comment out/delete lines 94 and 95. I have had no sideeffects so far

Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor Auto Tool Configurations

« Last post by lanux128 on August 28, 2010, 09:39 PM »

i think if you bring up the "configure tools" dialog and then close it, it will rescan for .sctool files.. i think. if not i will make it so.
-mouser (August 27, 2010, 05:03 PM)

i would appreciate very much if you added this feature as currently SC doesn't do that. maybe SC could do the rescanning whenever the main window is restored from the system tray.

another plus is that if the 3rd-party tool is not found then it's hidden from view, nice touch there..

thanks for adding it. i'm liking the sctools config so much that i'm eschewing the manual add.

also how to refresh to make the SC show the new additions/changes other than restarting the app? btw, here is a screenshot of my tools menu..

can you confirm that the PCs are ping-able?

no!
-tomos (August 26, 2010, 10:39 AM)

this is strange.. at this juncture, it might be helpful to have a screenshot of ipconfig /all for both PCs.

btw, a couple more t/shooting links:
• peer to peer workgroup setup - http://www.chicagote...t/workgroupsetup.htm
• Troubleshooting ipconfig - http://www.chicagote...shootingipconfig.htm

P.S. also a spare set of cables would help eliminate the possibility of cable error..

« Last post by lanux128 on August 26, 2010, 08:14 AM »

as i found out some time ago, Ashampoo have a different type of version numbering. versions ending in years (like 2009, 2010) is actually a 'lite' version, compared to versions like v9 or v10. so ABS 2010 is not ABS v10, it's more likely to be ABS v9 'lite'.

of course, that being said, i'd like to know what the 'Advanced' stands for..

btw, following are the excerpts of that thread where this version numbering was discussed..

i'm slightly confused by the version numbering. compared ABS v8, is "ABS 2009" a 'lite' version? $:-\$
-lanux128 (January 30, 2009, 09:59 AM)

Yes - 2009 is a lite version of 8.

Ashampoo's sales and marketting needs some serious cleaning up - I am still getting upgrade offers to both versions 6 and 7 - even though I am a registered user of both. The only version they haven't tried to flog me is version 8!!

Portal is part of the syllabus at Wabash College, now one can play video games and get some credit hours.

Portal on the booklist

This year, for the first time, a video game will appear on the syllabus of a course required for all students at Wabash College, where I teach. For me - and for a traditional liberal arts college founded in 1832 - this is a big deal.

sorry tomos to hear that the connection is still not working. i've had PCs with WinXP connected via crossover cable previously but can't remember if it was XP Pro or Home..

if you get the IP address of both PCs and ping each other, do they respond?

Skrommel's Software / Re: Ghoster - Feature suggestion

« Last post by lanux128 on August 20, 2010, 05:04 PM »

it's good that you can work out the problem. as you said you can experiment by commenting some of the sections to see the results. wintop is a variable that contains the 'style' properties of a window. in Ghoster, it's used to check if an app is on the top and make it so if it's not.
