Living Room / Re: and now the next question is about chat!

« Last post by mouser on December 11, 2010, 07:07 PM »

Ditto what deo said, but it's even less "useful" than he describes it.

It's really a place where people can come in 24hours a day, 365 days a year, and find someone with a sympathetic ear to talk about nonsense or joke around and just in general waste time when they are bored.

It can be fun and funny but much of the time the chat channel is pretty quiet and idle -- so don't expect anything but fellow dc members who come and go and just like to talk a little while they are working on other things.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA - new option for DragLock?

« Last post by mouser on December 11, 2010, 06:38 PM »

Welcome to the site mastersesci 

That sounds like a good idea..

Skrommel, the DragLock author, has been pretty busy lately, but maybe someone else could modify the code.

Here's the original DragLock thread: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=14009.0

Find And Run Robot / Re: No EditBox

« Last post by mouser on December 11, 2010, 05:07 PM »

id really like to see the bad ini file -- might give me a clue as to what went wrong.

there is no reason you should have to lose any of your ini settings -- its almost certainly justone line in that ini that is the culprit.

Find And Run Robot / Re: No EditBox

« Last post by mouser on December 11, 2010, 03:34 PM »

can you show me a screenshot?

try to find your FindAndRunRobot.ini file, which will be in your documents folder somewhere.  exit farr, RENAME it, restart farr.
if that solves it, send me your ini file so i can see what the problem is!

usually no edit box means you dragged the icons too far over to the left, and you just need to drag them back.

From a cryptography/security standpoint, bitcoin seems quite interesting, and there is an academic paper in pdf format available on the faq page that looks like great reading.

DcUpdater / Re: libcurl download error

« Last post by mouser on December 10, 2010, 10:17 PM »

Ok so you do use a proxy for normal web browsing?
The proxy feature of DcUpdater *should* work, but honestly im not sure how to test it or if anyone else using a proxy has had any trouble.

Official Announcements / Re: DonationCoder.com New Server Migration Coming in a Few Days

« Last post by mouser on December 10, 2010, 11:22 AM »

I should note that we aren't planning any site/forum changes at this time.. so the migration should be fairly painless and you shouldn't see any real differences.  [some more substantial site changes are planned for 2011 though!]

Official Announcements / DonationCoder.com New Server Migration Coming Soon

« Last post by mouser on December 10, 2010, 11:13 AM »

Ok we are going to be moving the DC domain to a new server in the next couple of days (over the weekend probably).

This could go completely smoothly, or may hit some hiccups, and may mean a day or two of strangeness as the new server address propagates through the domain name servers.

I will post again right before we pull the trigger, and then the forum will close while we migrate the database, and then re-open on the new server.

So everyone grab your teddy bears and baby cody plushies and hold tight over the weekend, and wish Gothi[c] good luck as he drives the truck full of dynamite over the bridge.

SERVER CHANGEOVER HAPPENING TODAY - SUNDAY 12/12/10

We did not go ahead with the server changeover due to difficulties getting the mysql database operations optimized.  See post below.

DcUpdater / Re: libcurl download error

« Last post by mouser on December 10, 2010, 09:47 AM »

Hi Tony.

It looks like it's having trouble connecting to the website via the internet.
Possible reasons:

• Your internet connection is down for everything (but the fact that you can visit this web page makes that unlikely).
• You have a firewall blocking DcUpdater from connecting to the website (fix: unblock the program in your firewall).
• You are behind a proxy of some sort, which is configured for your web browser but not DcUpdater (fix: set proxy settings in DcUpdater options).

Do any of those seem plausible?

Living Room / Re: DDOS Ethics

« Last post by mouser on December 10, 2010, 08:38 AM »

For an interesting take on the DDOSing:

http://www.boingboin...magazine-condem.html

2600: The Hacker Quarterly, has published a public statement opposing the Anonymous denial-of-service attacks on the services that abetted the censorship of Wikileaks. 2600's position is that the inexcusable moral cowardice of Visa and Mastercard and PayPal, etc, do not justify the use of brute force. Additionally, 2600 says that DDoS attacks are tactically unsound, as they create sympathy for these companies, and are used as a pretense for more attacks on Internet freedom. Finally, 2600 wants to strong disassociate "hackers" from people who merely run a piece of push-button DoS software, and to ensure that the security specialists, experimenters, hobbyists and others who make up its community are not unfairly associated with the DDoS attacks.

Living Room / Re: WikiLeaks: Important petition for all Australians and supporters of free speech

« Last post by mouser on December 10, 2010, 12:10 AM »

To help put wikileaks in historical perspective i suggest everyone watch:

The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers
http://movies.netfli...123269?trkid=2361637

The cases definitely are not identical, but it opened my eyes to read from just this week, Ellsberg is quoted as saying "EVERY attack now made on WikiLeaks and Julian Assange was made against me and the release of the Pentagon Papers at the time."

LaunchBar Commander / Re: I am trying LBC again - looking good

« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2010, 11:13 PM »

that is what I have tried.  But shouldn't it move the windows over so it doesn't sit on top of the open window?

other windows shouldnt open or maximize on top of it after its docked.. im not sure about existing windows.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: I am trying LBC again - looking good

« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2010, 10:27 PM »

music to my ears.

• doesn't need a restart.
• just toggle docking
• then MOVE it to the top of screen, where it will dock and extend itself to full width.
• then resize it vertically to the size you desire.

ps. don't miss the Launchbar Commander videos here: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=23686.0
and the screenshots to get ideas from here: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=18759.0

Find And Run Robot / Re: does FARR have a paste text feature?

« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2010, 12:11 PM »

somone should be able to really quickly whip up an alias to add a note to (freeware) Stickies using sticky.exe commandline tool.

Find And Run Robot / Re: does FARR have a paste text feature?

« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2010, 10:25 AM »

yes indeed it does.

in fact if you type: paste
you will see some samples.

TIP: You can go look at how the "paste" alias works by right clicking on one of those results and choosing "Visit the source alias".  Then create your own paste menus in the MyAliases.alias section using the same technique.

i'm ashamed to say i knew of this problem but didn't get around to fixing it yet since i wondered if anyone besides me would notice it  
your videos always shame me into fixing things, hard to ignore them when you see them so clearly

i shall fix.  

ps. i think we'll add the ability to embed jing (screenshot.com) videos in posts soon.

i'm pretty sure this is a case of SC scrolling capture not working and not a user error.. it used to work perfectly in firefox for me but recently i've been having the same problem as you.  more and more evidence points to the need for me to revamp the scrolling capture code.
