Living Room / Re: What books are you reading?
« Last post by MilesAhead on August 24, 2015, 07:19 PM »
I have kind of read out the SciFi section in the city library.  Due to the desire for a small, light, paperback with easy to read dark print I have resorted to reading The Time Machine by H. G. Wells yet again.  Oh well.  It is a short read and it has been awhile since the last time.

Edit: It is nice to have the eBooks by PKD but it is not always convenient to plug in the Laptop and all that business.  With hard copy I can enjoy sitting on a bench and reading.

-tomos (August 24, 2015, 12:03 AM)

Also if any of the methods of copying all open tabs to the clipboard as links will work, then this Howto Geek article shows how to put the links into a text file using the SendTo Menu:

http://www.howtogeek...ia-the-send-to-menu/


Edit: also it is likely a feature in some clipboard utilities.  I am not sure if CHS Screenshot Captor does it but I would be surprised if it didn't.

This freebie is still available.  Seems pretty basic.

http://www.windowsde...iscount-coupon-code/

Or you could use SiteSpinner Free Trial.  The usage counter counts the number of days you actually load it.  Not just subtracting the first day from the current date.  So you can make the trial last for some time while learning how to use it.

Most of the single page wizards I have seen are built into hosted free web accounts.  The ones I tried were geared to posting a photo gallery with descriptions.

This sends a list of tab urls to clipboard

The BBSS.exe utility that comes with Browser Bunch will make a list from open tabs but it does it via macro and may not handle duplicates.

Is anyone else on Windows getting weird FF hangs since 40.x?  I backed off from 40.02 to 40.0.  Still getting spinning circles in tabs and weird hangs.  Think I am going back to 39.03.  That was more stable if I remember rightly.

Living Room / Re: How Much RAM? 4GB vs. 8GB vs. 16GB Performance - TechSpot
« Last post by MilesAhead on August 20, 2015, 07:22 AM »
Very nice find, thanks for sharing.  Bottom line of the article seems to be that 8gb is the sweet spot and makes a real difference over 4gb, but that 16gb doesn't yield much of an advantage over 8.
-mouser (August 20, 2015, 06:57 AM)

The line from the article, paraphrased.. once you have enough ram to run your programs more doesn't increase performance.. makes me think those guys who like to have 64 windows open and Firefox with 24 tabs, will still find use for 16 GB.  :)

I would check out the freebie.  I installed it on my system.  So I don't think it is any malicious software.  I just haven't used it.  If it is not what is desired just uninstall.

-Ath (August 19, 2015, 12:09 PM)

What I hate are those videos that claim to tell you how to get the Pro version of some software.  You watch the video and the guy goes to the web site of the software and downloads the free trial.  Gee I would have never thought of that!   :down:

« Last post by MilesAhead on August 19, 2015, 08:10 AM »
I have no idea how well it works or how the output looks.  But there is a web page creation tool on giveaway:
http://www.mostiwant...version-license-key/

As Shades says, it is better if you have an understanding of what you are creating.  What I did when I got stuck was to post a question on CSS HTML Forums where pros hung around.  They would point me in the right direction.

It depends what you are trying to do.  Doing the markup yourself can take a long time.  You can find wizards that will create a Navigation Bar for you by generating a List.  When you mouse over it will hot track and when clicked you navigate to that page.  The list generated is regulation html, not gibberish, so no need to feel guilty about using such a tool.

For my latest site I just wanted a sorted list of files to download.  So I used a tool that created an index page from a folder.  From there it was a matter of pasting in the description for each download.

The quickie tools get you something that works fast but the generated HTML is almost impossible to read.  It usually has several hundred "&nbsp" sequences,which is the code for a blank space, stuck in clumps all over each page.

If you find a template you like then one of the wizard type page generators may be the way to go.  If you don't like the result chances are you only spent an hour or two on it so just erase it and crank up an editor to do it the hard way.  :)

The teller should have drawn an alarm button on the paper and pressed it.  Needless to say, it would be a silent alarm.
