Living Room / Re: Amazon's Kindle eBook Reader
« Last post by mouser on November 30, 2010, 12:56 PM »
I bought my daughter a 2nd generation Kindle, as a Christmas gift.

I really think these things make awesome gifts for kids.. unlike a cell phone or computer, they are purely constructive things.  there is a reasonable chance that your child will not use it much, but there is 0 chance that it will be used to waste their minds away.  And if it does catch their interest, it will open up a huge world of amazing free classic literature to them.

Just a quick update.. we actually got the new server!
Gothic is setting it up as we speak.

We have not switched over to it yet.. we plan to do so sometime around the end of dec or january.

The new server should have a number of benefits, including making it easier for us to keep on top of security updates, making it easier to maintain rigorous backups, and giving us the security and freedom to set up some experimental new web services.

Thank you to all donators whose donations have made it possible for us to upgrade the server.

(When all is said and done our monthly server costs shouldn't be much more than they are now, as we are basically consolidating servers).

ProcessTamer / Re: Links to Review and Comments - Add yours!
« Last post by mouser on November 30, 2010, 11:14 AM »
From PC World this morning:

http://www.pcworld.c...h_process_tamer.html

Screenshot - 11_30_2010 , 11_13_07 AM_thumb.png

Process Tamer would be especially useful on older, single-CPU PCs. Where there's no dual core (or more) to share the load, CPU management is essential. The best part is, ProcessTamer runs in the background with little to no intervention required. No setup is needed: Just launch and continue working normally.

ps.
Process Tamer 3 is being planned as we speak.

Developer's Corner / The Cinder graphics library for C++
« Last post by mouser on November 30, 2010, 09:58 AM »
I've not heard of "http://libcinder.org/" before.. It's a cross-platform C++ library, building on boost, that looks like it's strongly focused on graphics and looks like it's taking some inspiration from the "Processing" language.  Looks pretty cool actually.

Cinder provides a powerful, intuitive toolbox for programming graphics, audio, video, networking, image processing and computational geometry. Cinder is cross-platform, and in general the exact same code works under Mac OS X, Windows and a growing list of other platforms — most recently the iPhone and iPad.

Cinder is designed to take advantage of platforms’ native capabilities whenever it’s possible, and relies on a minimum of 3rd party libraries. This makes for much lighter, faster applications, and means Cinder apps get free performance, security and capability upgrades whenever the operating system does.

We also have worked hard to create a library that feels familiar and intuitive to C++ programmers, building on the idioms and techniques the C++ community has developed over its long history. Cinder’s modern internal memory management virtually eliminates leaks, not only of memory but also of resources like OpenGL textures. We make use of the exceptional Boost libraries to fill in any gaps, and always favor techniques built on features which are currently or soon will be standard C++ (such as std::thread or std::shared_ptr).

hi jeme,

there are two issues here really.

first is whether FARR can interface with CHS to let you search chs clips from farr.  that's been requested before and it's something i should probably implement as a plugin.

the second involves using CHS to manage your url collection.  i use CHS every day to manage my clipboard and keep history of items, and love it.  but i would not recommend it for that purpose.  there are some really nice standalone url manager tools that offer special features, like checking links for validitity, exporting to nice html pages, etc.  i think they would be more appropriate.  i think we've had some threads on recommendations of those tools and even some discounts..  perhaps others can remind us of the thread links or i will look more tomorrow.

Living Room / Re: My Canon IP5000 inkjet is dead :( What now?
« Last post by mouser on November 23, 2010, 08:20 AM »
i had an hp before i had my canon pixma, and i don't think ill ever go back, canon has been a joy to use. 
5 years is a long life for an inkjet, especially given costs of inks vs cost of machine. if it were me, unless it is an expensive wide format printer i'd just dump it and get a new one.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Problem with icons
« Last post by mouser on November 21, 2010, 11:29 PM »
that is really strange.. could it be you have some unusual non-standard setting for your icon sizes in windows? or some security program that could be doing this? if you switch to small icon detail view in farr do they show then?

BrowserTraySwitch / Re: customize default browser
« Last post by mouser on November 21, 2010, 10:24 PM »
the easiest way is to make it the official default at least once and then save (snapshot) from BrowserTraySwitch.  Short of that your best bet would be to take some saved Firefox configuration file and copy it and change the paths.

hehehe good point.. its actually worse than that since if you check for updates its going to say you have a more recent version installed than is available.
maybe i should just make it the new version and deal with any troubles if they emerge..

Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR Release v2.107.04 beta - Sep 23, 2012
« Last post by mouser on November 21, 2010, 05:03 PM »
the reason i released this as a beta is that it uses the new built-in mini update checking code im adding to all of my apps, which can check for new versions even if you dont want to install the DcUpdater utility (though downloading updates is not as fun if you don't use DcUpdater).  And i'd like to get a few reports that this is working ok before i make it official.

new release:

v2.89.01 - November 21, 2010
  • [MinorFeature] Mini-update checking now included even without use of DcUpdater tool.
  • [MinorFeature] Move-to folders are not checked for existence if they are UNC network paths.
  • [BugFix] Attempt to fix bug where deleting multiple images could result in error reloading refreshing thumbnails.
  • [BugFix] Attempt to fix bug where post capture popup form was shown in front of options and sendto form.
