General Software Discussion / Re: Question about AutoHotkey scripting

« Last post by mouser on August 09, 2010, 03:30 PM »

Can TapTap Hotkey Extender be used to simulate three simultaneous keystrokes

not sure what you are asking -- taptap can't detect a triple tap, only double taps (though this is possibly something that could be added); but it should be able to simulate combinations of 3 or more keys when triggered.

regarding taptap solution vs autohotkey solution, ahk is an incredibly powerful and versatile tool that can do tons of things.
wheras taptap was designed with one thing in mind, detecting these kinds of tapping keypresses as efficiently as possible with smallest impact on cpu and memory and resources.

this is something to care about because these are keypresses that are happening constantly as you type, and you don't want it slowing down your pc.

while i can't say definitively that taptap works more efficiently for this task, that would be my strong suspicion and i'd love to see some benchmarks comparing the two approaches.  though in truth it may be that the impact is minimal, when doing anything but heavy keyboard pounding, if even then.

If so then this open source license generator would be fleshed out and useful:

Find And Run Robot / Re: Beginner help please : Paste Date /Time format

« Last post by mouser on August 08, 2010, 11:20 PM »

you can easily make an alias called "p"
with result entries like:
paste myemail | paste [email protected] /ICON=icons\farr\core-misc_paste.ico
paste date | paste %date% /ICON=icons\farr\core-misc_paste.ico
paste time | paste %time% /ICON=icons\farr\core-misc_paste.ico
paste date and time | paste %datetime% /ICON=icons\farr\core-misc_paste.ico


however, believe it or not, FARR does not have a way for you to specify a custom date format to paste.  i could add that, but it's just not something anyone has asked for yet.

this would be a nice idea for a little plugin though!

Circle Dock / Re: cranioscopical: "Markham what we could do to further the project."

« Last post by mouser on August 07, 2010, 10:52 PM »

I will proceed on the assumption that profit is not a motive and that cost of *materials* (not time) is what is sought,

i think this may be the root of the misunderstanding.  i don't want to speak for anyone but i believe the aim is to make a little money to offset the time spent developing and supporting the software.  and no one need be ashamed of that.  so i don't think they intention is to get rich, but i believe the idea is not just to find free hosting.

Mircryption / Re: mIRC 7.1 and Mircryption

« Last post by mouser on August 07, 2010, 04:00 PM »

i haven't tried it with mirc 7 yet -- awaiting some reports.

mircryption hasn't been abandoned, it's just reached a "stable" state and i rarely add features any more, just an occasional update.

it works fine with all v6.x releases of mirc, and it should work with v7, but i await reports from mirc 7 users about whether there are any problems.  give it a try and let us know!

I think i need to upload the latest version with some recent changes.

Here is new readme lines for mw_dircat_sepdir and others:

--mw_category CATEGORYSTR : adds [[CATEGORY CATEGORYSTR]] tag to EVERY page
--mw_dircat_top STR: if specified then this STR is used as the first part of any directory-based category below
--mw_dircat_subdir: if specified, adds a [[CATEGORY something]] where something is the most recent subdirectory as the category (or $mw_dircat_top if at top)
--mw_dircat_fullpath: if specified, adds the full path like [[CATEGORY a.b.c]] for subdirectory depth
--mw_dircat_sepdir : if specified then adds a separate [[CATEGORY a]] [[CATEGORY b]] like string for each subdirectory as a separate category

i will upload latest version over the weekend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write and post this -- I know that it was a herculean effort.  Great review.  

ps. I moved this into the "Mini-Reviews by Members" section, even though it's anything but "mini", just because it seems like this section is where people look most for software reviews on the site.

I am going to take up mouser's suggestion and take some time away.

just to clarify -- my suggestion was to take a break from stressing over and going 100mph on this CircleDock stuff, and just to try clear your mind and get some perspective on it.  we all need to do that every once in a while.

[don't want it to sound like im trying to telling you to take a break from participating on DC and the forum (though if that's what it takes to clear your mind that's ok too)].

Living Room / Re: Sleep/hibernate problems in Windows 7

hibernate and sleep just don't work very well with laptops

that's just stupidity talking -- laptops are where this feature should work best and is most useful.  don't listen to them.

might have been one of the HP software updates that introduced the problem

could very well be.
