DcUpdater / Re: Dcuppdater.exe crashes multiple times daily in W7...
« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2009, 09:15 AM »
ahh!!!!!!!!!!

i should have read the initial post more carefully -- this must be why i had a hard time reproducing the problem -- because it doesn't happen if you run it manually!

can i verify that everyone with this problem is using my Find and Run Robot program?  If so, go into the Find and Run Robot options and disable Check automatically from the Plugins and Updates tab.  If not, then first step is to figure out what is telling dcupdater to run.

surprised no one has responded to this yet.. seems like a very useful tool idea.  must be something to do this already no? maybe would be a good candidate for a coding snack or nany project?

sounds like a useful idea, but one that would not be dc specific -- so maybe a generic website that does this is around somewhere?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FScript 1.9: querynokeyword problem
« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2009, 07:34 AM »
can you see if you type something like:
trac +foo test +bar

whether it strips out the +words in querynokeyword?

ok well im going to be checking into another issue thats been reported this week that results in network adapters not being shown -- maybe in fixing that i i will fix this as well.

is the realtek the only network adapter in your adapter list?

ok that last pic is all that matters.
let me just confirm that the status bar doesnt change when scanning, even if you start browsing the web and going to different websites while it is sniffing?

UrlSnooper / Re: Network adapter problem with v2.23.01
« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2009, 12:26 AM »
when you click to start sniffing and then browse the web, you don't see packets counting in the status bar?
do you know if the realtek is your network card?

ps. adding it to the firewall is not needed to sniff -- only to do automatic network adapter detection, which as i said is not important.

UrlSnooper / Re: Network adapter problem with v2.23.01
« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2009, 12:05 AM »
just disable automatic network adapter detection from advanced options and set your adapter manually.
automatic network adapter detection is purely optional and does nothing more than help you choose your adapter -- it can fail when a firewall blocks url snooper or for various other reasons, and is unneeded.

Living Room / (Cheap) Holiday Gifts for kids that like to make things
« Last post by mouser on December 08, 2009, 07:15 PM »
I thought we might start a thread about gifts for kids that like to make things (focusing on inexpensive ones mostly).

Here's a cheap one I saw that I think would be fun for a kid, i know i would have enjoyed making contraptions to mix flavors:

And here's one for cat lovers:

Maybe another thing that makes DC special is that while there are plenty of places to find really good software, plenty of places to find really good coders, and plenty of places to find very knowledgeable techies, maybe there aren't so many places where non-experts are welcomed so enthusiastically into the discussions and projects?

tux, i don't know what could possibly be wrong about reaching out to friends and telling them about someone you have lost.
17648
First let me say how nice it is to read some of the kind words here.

One problem for you Cliff, in terms of coming up with a description of what good DC is for most people, may be that most of the people who are going to post to this are going to be the hardcore DC members, which may not be a very accurate picture of why more casual visitors find the site useful.

Let me just trying to throw out some random thoughts:

This may be pretty obvious to most of the regulars here, but i think it bears saying that DC satisfies some very different needs for very different people.  That's always been a real difficulty in explaining the site to people, and we have to make an effort not to try to be everything to all people.

However, I think one of the most special things about DC is that it has a real mixture of coders and non-coders, who enjoy interacting. I think the interactions on the site has made the software that comes out of DC better and more useful for everyone.  I think one of the things people who stumble on the site appreciate is that we all are engaged in a kind of compact to help each other out and have fun in the process.

ps.
I agree with what everyone has said about how wonderful it is to interact with the community/forum here -- for me it's the best thing about the site and the most unexpected.

we had some debates over what year label to assign, but we ended up deciding that NANY2010 would celebrate the release of programs on Jan 1, 2010, and so on.

as for applicability of the program:  as long as it hasnt been previously released to the public, and its free or donationware for personal use, it qualifies.  :up:
