1. Specify URL.txt filename on the command-line. Critical-- since the program allows multiple instances to be active (yay!), it would be really great to be able to launch each one with a different URL.txt file.

- Can be currently achieved (rather cumbersome but works) by having the executable in separate folders for each task - Not the final idea...but until I implement CLI then it will have to do

2. Capitalize (not ALL CAPS) for the word "Add" on the right-mouseclick menu.

- Done

3. I believe that URL.txt files may be programmatically generated by processes; as such, these would be nice additions:

- Huh?

3a. Allow for a "heading" of some sort in URL.txt. When read, the list on screen has some heading displayed.

- I assume you mean in the Form Title? - I will add something temporary here until you reply (Check the settings window in the new version I will be uploading) Seems I added the temp idea - Press CTRL-R in the main window :)

3b. Allow for a "separator" of some sort in URL.txt. When read, the list on screen has some separator displayed.

-More information please

3c. Allow for a "comment" indicator in URL.txt Simply skip the line when reading in.

-Not yet done

4. Header graphic control: if specified on the command-line, RegaLink will use a JPG file above the current multi-panel display. If the specified graphic is not found, isn't the right size, or otherwise strange, it'll use an internal graphic. This would go a long way toward customization and personalization, and even allows for integration with other programs.

-CLI not implemented yet - However, do you mean this to replace the "RegaLink" logo thing?  If so, I could quite easily just add this by loading up the graphic from the folder as a logo.png file, instead of containing the graphic inside the EXE, if this would help for now?

5. Color control for font, background, borders, whatever. Either ad hoc via command-line, or from a family of color choices, or even a config file? A config file might be a convenient place to park options.

- Added a stop-gap font option...currently doesn't save, but want to know if this is how you mean :)

6. Font size flexibility: you'll be old someday too.


-As above

7. Change the time format to (something like) 14 May 10:25 AM: My thinking here is that year values won't really ever be needed, and quite probably seconds. A human-optimized date format

- Going to figure out how to user-specify this option :)

Hi denn, thanks for letting us know!
1379
I would have to say Stephen really gave good advice on that. I have never been in a real long distance relationship so my advice would be rather noobish. I will say that honestly is always the key to any long lasting relationship.

Honesty, and openness are 2 seriously important factors in any relationship.  In a long distance relationship (which I am in), you should also have a LOT of trust for the other person, and never put too much pressure on them.

Also, along with that, you should always try to meet up as often as you can.  Communication, and mutual respect/love is one thing, but NOTHING can replace the feeling of holding your partner, or being next to them.  Yes, leaving them again will hurt, but...that will make you stronger :)

Beef Lasagne

Preparation time:
25 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hours 10 minutes
Serves: 6



Ingredients:

   
  •     350g (12oz) lean minced beef
  •     1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
  •     1 large clove garlic, peeled and crushed
  •     1 Beef Stock Cube - Beef reduction is a suitable alternative here
  •     600g canned chopped tomatoes
  •     2–3 tbsps tomato purée
  •     Handful of fresh chopped herbs, Try a mixture of: thyme, sage, oregano and rosemary
  •     Good pinch freshly ground pepper
  •     1 glass red wine (125ml) - Don't use cheap plonk or you will regret it.  Try to spend a decent amount on the wine...You can always use the rest for Dinner Drinks!
  •     175g (6oz) lasagne sheets


    Béchamel:
   
  •     425ml (¾ pint) semi-skimmed milk
  •     1 small onion and carrot
  •     Bay leaf
  •     25g (1oz) flour
  •     40g (1½oz) Parmesan cheese, grated

When cooking the béchamel, you could also try adding a pinch of nutmeg for additional flavor!

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to moderate 170°C (fan assisted), 350°F, gas mark 4.

2. Place mince, onion and garlic in a pan and fry, stirring until the beef is browned.

3. Crumble in the stock cube/pour in the beef reduction and stir in. Add the tomatoes, tomato purée, herbs, pepper and wine. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Meanwhile, cook the lasagne in boiling salted water for 10–15 minutes, until just soft. Drain and rinse in cold water.

5. For the sauce, bring the milk to the boil with the onion, carrot and bay leaf. Take off the heat and leave to infuse for 10–15 minutes. Strain the milk and place back in the pan with the flour. Stirring constantly, bring to the boil and simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened and smooth.

6. In an ovenproof dish, layer the meat mixture, lasagne and sauce ending with the sauce and sprinkle with the cheese.

7. Cook in preheated oven for 30–40 minutes.

8.  Serve with a topping of cheese, and sprinkle on some rosemary over the top.

Hey cci8j,

Just to let you know, I am actually fully recovered now, however, I must ask for a little more patience due to me moving 350 miles from my current location.  Once I am settled in there, I can finally sit down and do some serious coding (I miss it like crazy) :)

Thanks for your continued support and loyalty!

Well...being in that situation, I find communication is more important than ever.  Talking (SMS/Calls), sending little jokes, flirting randomly, or just having some fun on an online game together.  Also...I always find it fun, to send and receive pictures while walking around, just kinda "showing" what we are doing, makes it a little more "real" if you know what I mean :)

Hey guys! 

Been awhile since I did a decent post about anything...Kinda been laying low for a multitude of reasons, but, since I know the guy who is making it, I figured I would give it a mention!

Description
Our adventure RPG game takes place in an post apocalyptic earth after the Naturals world war against themselves, humans, and earths creatures.

Got to be honest...I personally don't know much about it, but I do know they are asking for as much help an input as possible, so, head on over to their Facebook Page and grab some more details!

This is pretty much all I know about it...but it looks pretty cool, and I know they have been working on it for AGES!

So...Go check it out on their Facebook Page if you want to learn more about it, or keep updated!

Below are a few short segments from a book I am currently writing.  I have omitted some sections after due thought, as they contain sexual content.  Anybody wishing to read one of these segments, PM me, and I will happily send :)

Comments and Critique are warmly welcomed. But please remember...These are randomly selected segments so they don't fully tie in with each other.  I have done my best to have this where it reads without error, but, for some, you may notice certain points missing, and, that is probably the reason :)



Intro

Really, there is no way he could have seen this coming.  Spending every day locked away in his own little world; friends all around, but loneliness so vivid.  Darkness was his companion, the light, his enemy.  Yet, somehow, through the mist, he saw something that made no sense, something he couldn't explain.  Words cannot describe the feeling that had come over him, and all he knew, was that something was changing...something strange, something wonderful, but also absolutely terrifying.  It took only a few moments for things to become clear, and he could see through the mist, he could feel the breeze.  Something whispered out to him, and he knew then, what he must do, to survive.

1

Things just didn't seem quite right, what with everything that was happening.  Days seemed short, the nights long, no matter what he said, there was nothing getting through, nothing had the power to break through the wall, and that left him with a heart so powerless, his soul fading like sheets blowing into the distance.  Hidden away, lost, and with an overwhelming loneliness thrust through his soul, he had no clue how to overcome the feelings of darkness that passed through him on a minute-by-minute basis.  Nothing seemed to help.  Life was slipping past him at an incredible rate, yet the world seemed to stay without motion, words resonating without echo, quickly evaporating into a hazy mist.

People move so quickly these days, but for reasons that are unknown, his feet are stuck in the quicksand he has created, lost in his own spirit, drowning in solitude, and with painful angst, he muttered slowly with every breath he could muster, hoping for some release, something to help him climb up from the bottom of this endless cliff, but that was a path he could not see.  It is amazing to think, that for a long time, these feelings where locked, like an ocean liner trapped in a bottle or a firefly lost in the sunset.
 

2


His mind twisted like branches around an old oak tree, trying to find resolve, desperate for an end, a way through, some meaning, some light, but nothing would go right, every turn was littered with voids.  He spent his days locked behind a glaring screen, sound coming through was muffled and empty, but it gave him a reason, a way forward, and a path on which to travel where he couldn't feel.  Every word he tried to say, came out backwards, and it was breaking him.

The sun was falling from the sky, causing shadows to leap and bounce along the building tops.  This was something he could enjoy, something that still felt right, which is why he got in the car so often at the end of the day, to find a spot to sit, somewhere to find solitude, even for a moment.  

Sitting there, he could think clearly, so clearly.  He felt warm, and safe, while on his own, but nobody could understand.  The pain in his heart, was breaking him.  Simply staying here, in the place he was, and the situation he was in, was going to kill him, no other way I could put that, so much easier to be blunt about it, and there lies the problem...on several occasions, it almost did.

Skeletons littering his mind,  ghosts of the past screaming into his soul, he needed an opportunity to relinquish some of the pain he was feeling, yet, there was no way out.  No matter how much they spoke, their words fell before reaching the intended destination.  He screamed out, but to no avail, his heart twisting with every word, beating faster than the wings of a Hummingbird in a calm summers breeze.  Every ounce of his being was on fire, and yet, he was, actually, happy...once.

3

Back in the beginning, when they first began on their path, he had nothing in his mind other than happiness that someone had paid him attention. Perhaps this was his downfall...Rather than going in for respect, or love; he joined for a sense of affection and the feeling of being wanted.  

Calmness never seemed to set over his body, instead, he was in a constant mist of confusion, on how somebody could see him this way, how, in somebodies eyes, he seemed sexual, and interesting.  She looked at him in a way he had never seen before, and he had no means of understanding what she was thinking when she did.  

Years had passes since that moment they set their eyes on each other; yet deep down, he still had no idea how to explain these feelings.  Was it love?  Was he content?  Was he comfortable?  Not even he could answer these questions.

  Oh, you mean "Little White Lies".   :P

From what I can gather.  Rather cautious about the description though seeing as I found it on Urban Dictionary lol

Cause of crash is believed to be its cargo shifting and upsetting the plane's balance, based on communications with air traffic control.

The craft reared up into too steep of a climb, stalled, skidded sideways from lack of airspeed, and then couldn't pull up in time after righting itself.

Agree. Supposedly it isn't a hoax either. Makes one wonder....



Yep...As far as I am aware, 7 people died...so...not only do they have an amazing video, they also have deaths to report o.0
