General Software Discussion / Re: Help with Windows batch script
« Last post by Ath on May 06, 2015, 03:18 AM »
You might want to create a %server%-validusers.txt file, by making these subtle changes:

Code: Text [Select]
  1. ...
  2. SET userlist=validusers.txt
  3. ...
and
Code: Text [Select]
  1. ...
  2. :Logoff
  3. findstr /I ^%1$ .\%5-%userlist% >NUL
  4. ...

and having 3 files APPLE-validusers.txt, BANANA-validusers.txt and CHERRY-validusers.txt in the current directory.

You could make it even more fancy by adding a check for common users in validusers.txt, but that seems like a little overkill to me.

What's wrong with a Wiki page in Sharepoint? You can create a list of links there, easy as pie.
You do need Create and Modify permissions of course.

What type of internet connection would have this usage-model? Most current internet connections are always-on, AFAIK, so no need, or even means, to turn it 'off'.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Script for replace any substring in a text file accodring a csv data file
« Last post by Ath on May 01, 2015, 01:41 AM »
Despite its name, my tool Excel2Html can be used for this exercise, if the .csv file is converted (loaded) into a .xls or .xlsx file.
And a .html template is plain text, of course.

Relevant DC threads (original Coding snack request and support-thread) are available from the link.

Living Room / Re: Ethernet cables: UTP vs. STP
« Last post by Ath on April 27, 2015, 02:43 PM »
It's to do with the Category of the cable.
CAT 5 is qualified for 100 MBit/s
CAT 5e for 1 GBit/s
CAT 6 for up to 10 GBit/s and requires better signal to noise ratios (10 GBit/s not over the full 100 meters)
CAT 7 for up to 40 GBit/s with even better signal to noise ratios and less crosstalk, using shielded pairs within the cable

More info here: http://www.xmultiple...xwebsite-forum24.htm
And Wikipedia on CAT 5/5e: http://en.wikipedia....iki/Category_5_cable

General Software Discussion / Re: Using a batch file to create a hyperlinked png or jpg image.
« Last post by Ath on April 26, 2015, 05:03 AM »
For converting an image to base64 I used this freeware multi-platform off-line/command-line Base64 De-/Encoder (no connections, just a happy user). It supports output to stdout so redirecting output directly into the message from a batch-file is easy-peasy :up:

You have quite loose visibility settings allowing any indirect contact (friends of friends?) to access you info, apparently. You are in control, though... FB provides with very strict access, but you have to change that manually.

-Has some compatibility problems with Windows 8 (error on exit)
-doesn't remember settings (like where the time was displayed) This might be because of the error above.
-ayryq (April 14, 2015, 02:05 PM)
You might be able to fix that by applying "Run as Administrator" on it, it probably tries to write to protected registry locations. It's from 2008... :huh:

General Software Discussion / Re: Comodo Internet Security -- a cautionary tale?
« Last post by Ath on April 11, 2015, 11:07 AM »
I have been using Avast Free for the last couple of years on all my systems, and I'm quite happy with that. Combined with the built-in Windows firewall, and a spam-filter on the systems fetching e-mail, I'm quite confident about security.
I can't compare with Comodo, as I've never installed it, ever, but compared to the, once trusty and lightweight, AVG free, the impact on performance from Avast is barely noticable. Though all the systems involved have at least a core-2 Intel cpu...

That's my  :two:

Post New Requests Here / Re: LeDimmer replacement?
« Last post by Ath on April 11, 2015, 04:54 AM »
CinemaDrape @ http://www.aurelify.com/cinemadrape/ is a good alternative.
-PhilB66 (April 10, 2015, 11:37 PM)
Well, I tried both CinemaDrape (CD) and LeDimmer (LD, downloaded today from Softpedia), but running LD "As Administrator" (I have UAC turned off) is much more intuitive than CD. LD automatically only shows the active window, while CD requires me to select the visible viewport, any time I change focus (though I may have misunderstood the instructions, I didn't get it to work as I want).
LD is probably here to stay :up: (Windows 7 x64, single screen, Laptop @Home)
