The other I'm looking for is software that switches the Desktop wallpaper among images in a folder (in sequence or randomly) at user-selectable intervals. I think someone coded this for one of the N.A.N.Y.s, but I can't recall the user or name of the program.-kyrathaba (May 29, 2018, 07:34 PM)
I have a ClipMate_7526_136.exe installer here from 2013, and I had a license for that. If I recall, I dropped it because Win8 didn't seem to like it (at leat on my machines)

Downloading WriteItNow.
First thing I notice is the emaciated demo - it doesn't save!
Obviously limits any possible review. Half a mind not to bother.-Dormouse (May 29, 2018, 08:40 AM)

Welcome, gorens.
Your post reminded me to post.
I have recently been reading a ton of "relationship" books lately.. At least a half dozen of them. These are self-help type books with different theories of, and advice about, relationships with your significant other.
Growing up I never gave much thought to such things, and never spent significant time "working" on having a relationship. I just figured it would all come naturally. And I am mostly a loner, and happy that way, so I have never been overly concerned with making a relationship "last". Now almost 50 years old I find myself shocked that these kinds of relationship and self-help subjects aren't taught in school. Some really useful life lessons and advice...
As to why I've been reading so much about making a relationship work lately.. Well that will have to wait for another day and another post. But in the next few days I will try to post some mini-reviews about the books I have been reading. I encourage everyone, whether currently in a relationship or not, to read some books on making a relationship work -- the earlier in your life the better.-mouser (May 27, 2018, 12:13 PM)
I'm thinking of looking at yWriter, WriteItNow, RightNote and Ginkgo in my next little run.-Dormouse (May 27, 2018, 04:51 AM)
Tech tip: When crafting (html) tables, getting empty cells to show properly, the standard way of 'filling' them is to use (non-breaking space) as the content, instead of the, imho rather ugly and disruptive, dot/period.I'm using the BBCode here and it doesn't seem to work in that-Ath (May 27, 2018, 04:18 AM)
I agree that it's ugly and disruptive.
They'll all go when I finish because the cells will be filled.-Dormouse (May 27, 2018, 04:27 AM)
Voice activated TV's and "electronic assistants" (like Alexa etc.) have been caught recording everything and uploading "telemetry".-Stoic Joker (May 10, 2018, 03:56 PM)
It's not even decent as a law.It has been the law for 2 years already, it's just that it is to be enforced as per today, but most countries don't have enough government workforce available to check, let alone enforce, it properly...-wraith808 (May 24, 2018, 10:05 PM)-Ath (May 25, 2018, 02:52 PM)
Gotta love GDPR eh.

No. Not at all.-wraith808 (May 24, 2018, 05:40 PM)
As a law, it's pretty decent - applying it to a business....pain in the ass-Stephen66515 (May 24, 2018, 09:55 PM)
I took it from The Atomic Scribbler BlogThere are two key folders inside the project folder: Documents and .atomic. The Documents folder contains a series of documents in Word and RTF formats, each with a number for a name (12.docx, 87.rtf, etc.). When you create a new scene or note, a document is created in this folder to store the contents of that scene. And the best part is, as the formats Atomic uses (Word and RTF) are so common, you can open any of these small documents with Word or any other word processor. Your work is never stored in a proprietary format and can always be recovered — even if Atomic Scribbler is not on the scene.If it's not that, I have no idea why it feels a little slower than I see with other similar programs. If that's something you don't see, then it must presumably be a system variable.-Dormouse (May 22, 2018, 04:01 AM)
Idle offtopic wish: That the at-sign did actually signal you in some way on this forum... it would definitely be a help to bring people into a conversation or signal the person.-wraith808 (May 21, 2018, 04:09 PM)
It's become somewhat of a habit for me to do that, due to using a Discourse forum at work. (but I still hate Discourse and prefer SMF)
Maybe mouser can add a plugin for mentions?-app103 (May 21, 2018, 04:40 PM)
