Who really does read software licenses?  I don't.  I ain't got time for that.

PBOL / Re: Requests: count workdays only and show workdays remaining

« Last post by Ath on September 22, 2014, 06:00 AM »

Another fine-tuning request:

The predefined choices do not cater for the 'Last day of current month' (or 'first day of next month') selection, giving a wrong impression of the remaining time in this month's gauge.

It's sort of a no-brainer really.

-IainB (September 21, 2014, 05:54 AM)

In several magazine-comparisons of commercial and free contenders over the last couple of years, MSE seems to be quite a no-brainer, indeed..., in this case meaning 'without a proper brain'
Hitrate of MSE being 70-75% where the other free solutions all catch 90-95% of stuff to catch. And even the best paid solutions only catch 95-98%, and the worst commercial ones catch well below these free solutions.
Forgot to mention earlier that I used AVG before switching to Avast, but ditched it when it took too much resources from the PC. Boot-time went down from ~5 minutes to ~60 seconds on older WinXP PC's after removing AVG, and up to ~90 seconds after adding Avast
These resources issues seem to be resolved with the current AVG versions, but I still have to re-evaluate AVG.

AVG, Avast or Avira should do fine. Have only used Avast on a regular basis but I've read good reviews of all three.

Avira used to have auto-update issues when behind a proxy (like I am connected most of the time), but haven't re-tested that lately.
AVG has had some security issues (with their forum, IIRC) in the recent years, that's why I didn't bother to switch, but they are my next candidate
Avast I've seen some app-update issues in their latest release that I didn't get around to investigate thoroughly yet.

General Software Discussion / Re: color wax 3d printer

« Last post by Ath on September 14, 2014, 02:49 AM »

Don't think that 3D printing technology is mature enough yet to support wax. Current mainstream models support ABS and PLA, and some models only one of these materials.

Only 'advantage' of wax could be that the material is re-usable, but how to revert an object into threads of the correct constant thickness

If you could consider making it as a widget please

There is already a quite usable version of that: Countdown widget
but probably there's a market for a different one

Did anyone already create an Android (or other mobile OS) version of PBOL ? Because I'm opting for that... just to finally get an Android app done

You can use a webbrowser control to fetch the page, then check its content with a regex.

Network Settings Manager (both a free and a paid version available) sounds like just what your doctor ordered

I wrote a tool with somewhat similar features, around the Windows 95/98 availability period (15 to 18 years ago), but I never updated it when Window 2000 (and later XP) with it's improved login procedures arrived, as it was to be started before/on top op the Win9x logon screen.
Never really published on the interwebs.

For keeping processes and services running, I wrote KeepUpApp for the NANY 2013 event.

No stopping or disabling though.
