Living Room / Re: 2010: Will it be better than 2009?

poll edited to only one vote per person.

2009 was rough for me, especially the end of it.  hopefully 2010 will be better.

Living Room / What are your new years resolutions for 2010?
« Last post by mouser on January 01, 2010, 05:54 PM »
Anyone have any good new years resolutions they want to share?

I've got the normal ones, more reading and writing, less goofing off.  More exercise and better eating.

I think the main "meta" resolution I have this year is to keep stricter and more explicit self-imposed deadlines.  I have a nice big wall calendar this year and i'm looking forward to being a strict taskmaster for myself in terms of blocking out time.

I'd also like to write a nice cross-platform application that uses plugins.

N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Re: NANY 2010 - The Event Concludes
« Last post by mouser on January 01, 2010, 05:36 PM »
We all need to give a huge thanks and round of applause to Perry Mowbray for making NANY 2010 happen this year.

He is one of the most cheerfully hard working fellows I've met, and it's just not conceivable to me any more that the NANY event would be the same without him.

Thank you Perry!

just remember, all it takes is one house fire or having to move twice in a year to convert the hardcore lp and book collector into an avid supporter of digital media :)

N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Re: NANY 2010 Final Release: Startup Bully
« Last post by mouser on January 01, 2010, 05:27 AM »
i don't know any applications that create startup entries without the option to disable, but i can definitely see how this would be useful if you had one.

if you just double-click the executable it gives an error about a value not being an integer.
i think a nice thing to do would be to show someone a simple message about how to use it if they launch it like that; a readme would be nice too.

seems work as promised -- i think the idea of filling up all the free space on a usb drive to avoid any malware getting onto it, while perhaps not foolproof, is pretty clever.

Seems to work as advertised  :up:
Utimately would be nice to not have to copy the subdiv program into the folder you want to sort and have some more options, but it's off to a good start.

Regardless of whether you use swoopo, it's a kind of neat tool  :up:
Is it supposed to remember the auctions between restarts of the program? that would be a nice feature?
Click Options button or About button dont seem to have any effect.

« Last post by mouser on December 31, 2009, 10:50 PM »
Like skwire says.. it's impossible not to be impressed by this program, and it's polish and overall elegance.  Really nicely done.
Almost makes me want to try my hand at making multiboot CD!

This is obviously not a tool that most people will have use for, but i don't know why the people who make multiboot cds wouldn't be drooling all over themselves when they see this.  :Thmbsup:

Looks like the start of a neat program.. though without support for regular printing, not many people are going to be able to use it.

I had a hard time getting it to work well (in terms of learning things or dealing with multiple phrases that were potential matches), but it did work well enough to see how it could be useful eventually.  :up:

Crashes on exit for me by the way (winxpX64 pro).

It's Camtasia.. though i note that i dont use any of the fancy features that camtasia provides, so almost any screencasting tool would do fine.

I'd be a little hesitant to recommend this to others at this point since it's still a bit rough, but it shows some real promise if you stick with it.

screencast added to your post.. watch till the end for an interesting observation..

its not that it has to be exactly 8.5x11, it's that i need to be able to open a pdf file of standard printed page size, and see the whole page and be able to read it comfortably -- and not need to pan and zoom.

now my eyes are ok, i could live with print size a little smaller than that found in standard scientific journals, but not too much -- this is already small type.

the main point is being able to show a full page on the screen and read it comfortably without having to pan and zoom.
