Deozaan's right. it's Arcanum and Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers for $5.99 per piece.

haven't played the former but Gabriel Knight is quite an imaginative adventure/horror game..

Gog.com has started a countdown on their main page which ends in about 7 hours. this mysterious countdown has generated a lot of response from gamers and has spawned a giant thread here.. whatever it is, be there in 7 hours (approx) to see if there is a cool promo or a damp squib is waiting for you.

General Software Discussion / Best Twitter client?

« Last post by lanux128 on January 24, 2010, 12:26 AM »

thanks to its features like "Trending Topics", Twitter is becoming a quite good propagating tool. though susceptible to spams, it has the means to keep us informed with the news we want to know and not the other way around.

however, as the number of one's acquaintances grow, what is the best way to keep track of incoming tweets? or find out what is the breaking news, globally, regionally or across town?

i've been thinking that what is the best Twitter client out there to manage all this? or maybe it takes a couple of tools plus some tricks.. so for all twitter users from DoCo, do post here with your favourite tools or tricks regarding Twitter. they can be either desktop clients, online-based or even hardware devices such as mobile phones, pda, etc.

what Target said but the line should be like this:

the OutputVar (i.e. SourceFileName) need not be quoted..

I'll have a further look at this, but I guess I was looking for a freeware app since I'm unlikely to use it much...
-Target (January 17, 2010, 04:36 PM)

the XChat program mentioned by Ehtyar above, does proxy setup and it's freeware. i've never tried it before but seems to be quite popular.

Finished Programs / Re: SOLVED: Screen rotation -> possible in AHK ?

« Last post by lanux128 on January 15, 2010, 09:03 PM »

reviving an old topic but i had been looking for something similar and found the solution via nVidia's DTCFG Desktop Configuration Commands.

Description Rotate a display to the designated orientation.
Format rundll32.exe NvCpl.dll,dtcfg rotate <display#> <angle: 0,90,180,270>

Example rundll32.exe NvCpl.dll,dtcfg rotate 2 90
Rotates display #2 to the 90 degree position.

« Last post by lanux128 on January 15, 2010, 08:08 PM »

thanks for that, seems it mostly talks about mIRC and Miranda

another wrinkle, the client MUST be able to deal with a proxy (seems quite a number don't cater for this...)
-Target (January 15, 2010, 12:34 AM)

most of the modern IRC clients should be able to deal with proxies easily. here is a link to mIRC's proxy guide. fwiw, i mainly use mIRC on my desktop PC and Miranda IM on my netbook.

Found Deals and Discounts / Re: EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard - Free for a limited time only (Jan 13, 2010)

« Last post by lanux128 on January 13, 2010, 09:16 PM »

sorry for the confusion, it's the same link but with updated information about the Full version.

Recently we alerted you to a offer by EASEUS for a beta version of their well known Data Recovery Wizard. There ended up being a lot of confusion about the limitations of the beta version. EASEUS passes on their regrets for any inconvenience our users may have experienced.

In exchange they would like to offer you a Full Version of their Data Recovery Wizard v4.3.6. that they currently sell for $69. This version does not have the new features of their upcoming product such as full Windows 7 support, but I did test it in Windows 7 and it was able to recover some files that had been previously lost or deleted.

i noticed this promotion at Gizmo's site. i haven't tried this before so can't say much about the reliability of the recovery method. if you feel you may need this, now is the time to get it. go here to download.
