Living Room / Re: It's alive, it's alive!!! mwahaha! - WinButtons and 7" touchscreen works

« Last post by cranioscopical on December 10, 2011, 10:39 AM »

I shall also be punching myself in the face several times.

-nudone (December 10, 2011, 09:04 AM)

Want some help with that?  

Currently the MIMO is working. Yes. Yes, it is.

Good news indeed.
Like yours, mine is running from a powered hub on a monitor. Did you ever try connecting both of its USB inputs?

Wow! 12.5M...

$12.5M here, $12.5M there… pretty soon it'll add up to some serious money. Seems to me this guy has a b in his jello.

I've tried a few and you have to use a stylus (old bit of plastic) to get the best response from them.

My tablet is an old bit of plastic (Etch-a-Sketch). Every time I try a different web site I have to draw the page from scratch

Don't worry, I'll flesh it out a bit as soon as I decide.

One quick request; could you change the colour from RED? It's a bit much at this stage

cranioscopical, all I've seen are complaints on the forums.

Bad show! I understand your thinking — easier to shrug and walk away than endure the hassle.

Please do not suggest I try anything further with this horrible touchscreen

-nudone (December 05, 2011, 02:36 AM)

What a pity! I'm getting on quite nicely with mine. (Just watch, it'll throw seven fits now!)
Have you talked to the people at MIMO at all? You can't be the only one with difficulties... can you?

Finished Programs / Re: Finished Coding Snack: Separate .txt file at any specified punctuation mark

« Last post by cranioscopical on November 29, 2011, 08:20 AM »

 
I took db90h's comment to be a helpful pointer for those of us who might like to delve further.
Being one of those who do not (in this particular case), I heartily concur with his final comment — "Of course, having a programmer write you a custom solution is even better."

The very purpose of DC is, for those who can, to do; we're very fortunate to have a core group of doers.

That said, I believe that we benefit both from the solution providers in specific instances and from the peripheral information and suggestions that help to enlarge our awareness. It never hurts to know what one does not know.

I just checked with Listary again and it still insists I have the most recent version.  I have 3.23.

-cyberdiva

Same with mine (Pro). On seeing rjbull's message, when Listary said the previous version was up to date I went and fetched 3.5 directly from the site (Thanks rjbull!)

anyone willing to help test the new upcoming scrolling capture system, post on this thread

-mouser (November 23, 2011, 08:12 PM)

I'd be happy to if I can. Things are a little hectic for me at the moment but how long could it take?
If you ask him nicely, timns will probably help you out with any lingering font issues.

Speaking of which… any chance of being able to make the window (WITH its fonts) larger?

The currency lookup happens too often. I'll fix that and you hopefully won't get that pause.

-timns (November 21, 2011, 09:39 PM)

That moves along right smartly now! With Christmas approaching, and the need to be stocking up, it's a relief to know that my 5 yigs are worth $8.20 bucks.

That's nice, as usual timns 

I like the lazy man's result for fractions as both decimals and fractions together

+1 for carrying a total down to the following line

If I enter the same currency convertion on consecutive lines this seems to slow things down (might be just my crummy internet sevice)

Super-lazy request, any chance of using >> instead of -> (a split second faster)

Living Room / Re: multiple monitors vs large monitor?

« Last post by cranioscopical on November 16, 2011, 02:24 PM »

FWIW
I have 2x27" side by side and 1x27" on a backup machine.
Working with 1x27" drives me nuts.

The problem with wide-screen monitors is that so few now have 1200 dpi vertical.
Luckily for me, mine happen to be 1920x1200 and I'd compromise on the 1920 long before I ceded any ground on the 1200.
