Official Announcements / Re: January 2011 Giveaway is open for entry
« Last post by mouser on January 13, 2011, 03:01 PM »
Optimizing for NANY entrants is in effect penalizing those that did not enter which is somewhat contrary to the philosophy(?) of the site, isn't it?

i don't think so -- i think it's fair to have some bias towards people who have contributed to the site in important ways, and participating in nany is one of those ways.  actually my view was to have this january giveaway be exclusively for nany participants.. but i was overuled :)

I think it's NANY bringing in the new members, and i'm thrilled to see it!

It really is fun when we have new people joining and posting on the forum -- we need some new voices to keep us all from falling into our respective ruts!

Welcome to all our new members  :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

And don't be shy about posting -- we are a friendly little family here, and everyone is welcome -- you don't have to be an expert on anything to join our discussions, just bring some good spirit and jump right in!

ps. there are some nice threads at the top of this forum section, and they are a great way to introduce yourself.

I think it would be wise when user presses "add running processes" to pop up a yes/no messagebox that tells user what is about to happen :)

To celebrate NANY 2011, Perry Mowbray arranged some amazing giveaways this month (thanks to cthorpe also!).  The only thing i'm not sure about is to what extent we should bias the prize optimizer to favor nany programmer entrants..

This Month's Special Discounts and Giveaways:

Ok, let me move up to top priority adding code that responds when drives are plugged in or removed.  That's been mentioned before in a slightly different context -- a cool idea to have certain buttons or bars show when a drive is inserted.

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Park Cursor Aside
« Last post by mouser on January 11, 2011, 11:06 AM »
Would it be possible to move the cursor relatively to the application's window, for example to its title bar?
that's a clever idea -- or to bottom or right edge of window.

General Software Discussion / Re: Anyone else here have an unhealthy fascination with progress bars?
« Last post by mouser on January 11, 2011, 10:55 AM »
One of the saddest things that has happened in modern times is that almost everything you ask your computer to do is done instantly.

Now most people will tell you that's a great thing, but I'm here to tell you that I remember the days when I would start a program compiling and go off to have dinner while it worked.  Those were the days.

There is nothing quite like knowing your computer friend is hard as work on something while you go take a nap or grab a bite to eat.

That's always been one of the appeals of doing scientific work on the computer -- I once ran a program on my pc that took 2 months to run and it was an unadulterated pleasure.

Progress bars are just the icing on the cake :)

one of my very favorite things on dc is when new people are inspired to make their first post saying that they like something made by someone on the site.   :Thmbsup:
