Living Room / Re: "We're Alive" - Online Radio Show Drama

« Last post by mouser on December 01, 2011, 01:51 AM »

Well I was just about to post a new thread about PontyPool, a very cool movie and radio drama -- when i did a quick search of the forum and discovered that 40hz mentioned it earlier this year:

If you like We're Alive, check out the indy film Pontypool.

I just saw PontyPool a couple of days ago on Netflix streaming, and I *really* enjoyed it.

I'm happy to say you can also listen to the radio drama (it's actually just the movie's audio track, slightly re-edited), for free online: here.

There's very little to see so I think makes a great radio drama.

FlipSuite and Flipbook Printer / Re: can layout template be modified to work with this business card cutter?

« Last post by mouser on November 30, 2011, 09:37 PM »

OK first things first, I will try to help you get this working for that card cutter -- if it requires coding a new way to lay out cards i will add that.

I just need to wrap my head around how you need the cards laid out.

It sounds like you need the layout to look like

1st page
1 11
2 12
3 13
4 14
5 15


2nd page
6 16
7 17
8 18
9 19
10 20

is that right?

and that's because, you want to feed multiple pages in and let the accumulate on the 2 stacks, is that right?

Perhaps something Mayan in keeping with the 2012 theme

I like that idea.. Cody in the center of a kind of mayan calendar..

A suggestion:

Maybe people can try to come up with an "origin" story (like a superhero's origin story) for how Cody came into existence, and see if Nudone can illustrate it as the new image.

Anyone care to try coming up with a strange and unique origin story for Cody?

Ideally I'd like the software to arrange photos so that after feeding in multiple sheets I just take the left hand stack and move it on top of the right hand stack and staple it.

Flipbook printer/suite was designed to handle these cases. The settings you want to play with are the checkboxes on the Print page labeled:
Stacked Printing and Down then Across

You certainly want to enable Stacked printing.
But also Down then Across may be what you need for that printer.

Let me know if it works.

ps.You should be able to avoid having to stack the piles after each sheet.

N.A.N.Y. 2012 / P-FANCI: Petition For A New Cody Image! POST HERE!!

« Last post by mouser on November 30, 2011, 10:05 AM »

Please join with me in a virtual petition to loudly demand that DC member Nudone create us a new Cody image for this year's NANY.

With Baby Cody going on so many adventures lately, I'm afraid that normal Cody is feeling left out.

And while we still have lots of Cody images to recycle through, I can't help but feel that we need to beg, harass, hound, protest, and generally bully Nudone into drawing another Cody image soon, before he forgets how to do them completely.

So please join with me in occupying this space and demanding a new Cody image from Nudone within the next 30 days.

I don't really want to muck about deleting folders on your system.

« Last post by mouser on November 29, 2011, 11:21 PM »

so let me understand how to reproduce:

you have lbc running in autoslide mode.. and its hidden off screen.

you start vlc, load a file, and start it playing. and you see no video.

is that right?

i cannot reproduce this behavior.  what version of vlc do you have? is it the latest version?

doesnt really belong in this thread, but that error indicates that the download did not complete.
try again using a different browser (or clear your browser cache and download again).

« Last post by mouser on November 29, 2011, 08:34 PM »

very odd.. can you tell whats happening? do you have your LBC bar docked to the screen? if you minimize it and then start vlc, does it work ok?
see if you can narrow down when the problem happens..
does the problem happen only with vlc fullscreen?

i will try vlc here too and see if i can reproduce.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: CHS: New Formatting Dialog

« Last post by mouser on November 28, 2011, 08:28 PM »

rj, i could use a little more help in understanding a test i can do to fix this.

your commandline arguements to spellcheck files make it hard for me to figure out.

can you give me a sample text, and a sample mtrw invocation that reads from stdin, writes to stdout, and tell me what i should see.  and that doesnt use any additional files like some spellcheck?

so tell me the original text, and then give me a commandline that when run reads from stdin, writes to stdout, and tell me what it produces.

then i can try to make chs work on it.

Stoic Joker has a very good point though -- if you use this method and save to PDF, and open the PDF files -- and go to the pdf file properties -- do they also say 8.5x11, or do they show the correct size?

In other words, is it only when you save as jpg that you have this problem?

« Last post by mouser on November 28, 2011, 12:07 AM »

There is actually a store behind this..

It *USED* to be that Alt+PrtScr defaulted to capturing the current active window in Screenshot Captor too..

BUT, pressing the alt key can cause the Menu bar of the current window to trigger -- sometimes just highlighting it oddly -- but in worst cased causing a menu to actually drop down.

That's why the new default for active window capture is CTRL+PrtScr.

But of course you can customize it -- which you already knew.

Welcome PinoyBoy 

I just want to say I get a huge kick out of seeing new members make their first post saying that they like a program that came from the site.

And no one is responsible for more such posts that Skwire.  I don't know why but his apps just make people feel happy and feel like posting a thank you.  It's nice to see.
