Find And Run Robot / Re: Need help with optional parameters in aliases

« Last post by mouser on June 12, 2009, 11:31 PM »

Can this be further improved so that once ++ or whatever special character has been activated, the incremental search can kick in for the new parameters, i.e. file browsing mode to allow launching a program with a file as its parameter?

can you elaborate?

Site/Forum Features / Re: Ability to copy geshi formatted code text.. help me test?

« Last post by mouser on June 12, 2009, 10:40 PM »

Should it go directly to my clipboard? because that is not working for me...

no, you still have to manually ctrl+A and copy to clipboard.. the main functionality of the new feature is to remove the formatting codes and the line numbers.

Living Room / Re: IE to be removed from Windows 7 in EU

« Last post by mouser on June 12, 2009, 10:31 PM »

This is ridiculous.

How does one get on the internet to download an alternate browser if there is no browser installed with the OS?

Instead of pulling IE out of Windows (as it is so much part of the OS), I would just include FireFox, Opera and Chrome with Windows. It is IMHO a much more elegant solution to this issue.

That's a nicer idea.

The whole anti-monopoly thing against MS seems a bit nostalgic at this stage.. Poor microsoft seems on it's last leg and not that steady.. And I have a feeling that if MS tried the hard-sell, cross-product-toolbar-installing type behavior of google, or the paranoia-level control over stuff of Apple, they would be attacked as monsters.

I'm not saying Microsoft doesn't deserve all the anti-trust litigation that it brought upon itself, i'm just saying that since these lawsuits all got started, the state of play has changed so dramatically that this is getting a bit silly now.

Let's just hope all the anti-trust lawyers are prepared to use copy-and-paste and re-use these lawsuit filings against google and apple in the next few years when the need arises.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: LaunchBar Commander (My Music)

« Last post by mouser on June 12, 2009, 01:20 PM »

This is an interesting question..

One solution of course is to use a different media player besides Windows Media Player, one which starts songs immediately when opened.

Another option would be to RIGHT-CLICK on the music song, and choose "Play".

But perhaps a nice feature would be a way to tell LBC how to open a file selected from a browsed folder node.

I'd love to read more about your whole experience going from game design to production, and your thoughts along the way.. It's exciting to see it go from an idea to fruition in front of our eyes.

« Last post by mouser on June 12, 2009, 12:42 PM »

that is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

Several visitors to the show said that Monkey Dash would make an browser game, and would be ideal to port to the i-phone I am interested in both options both to raise interest in the board game, and as business opportunities in their own right. If anyone at DC has the skills or contacts to develop such things - get in touch!

i'd love to see that happen

Living Room / Re: Help me identify this Mystery Chinese (Japanese?) Tea Box Brand

« Last post by mouser on June 12, 2009, 05:21 AM »

someone tells me its not a brand but means something like Chrysanthemum Green Tea, which is at least a clue.. i guess that's what the white flowers are, Chrysanthemum..

Living Room / Help me identify this Mystery Chinese (Japanese?) Tea Box Brand

« Last post by mouser on June 12, 2009, 02:05 AM »

I'd really like to identify this brand so I can get it again.. It's either from a local korean shop or sent to me from chinatown in ny.

My real fear/suspicion is that the lettering just says "Green Tea" and is so generic as to defy identification..

Anyone have a clue?

Living Room / Flash Game of the Week: StarCom

« Last post by mouser on June 12, 2009, 01:26 AM »

Reviewed today on JayIsGames.com, StarCom is a top down space game with a storyline and missions.

It's very well done and is very similar to one of my all time favorite games, EV Nova.

I've been trying to encourage people on DC to make a top down 2d space game like this for a while.. because i think the mechanics and engine is within the capabilities of a small team, and because i think it has such great potential for incorporating compelling adventure/exploration/storylines.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Program to create subfolders and move files for list of shows BY name.

« Last post by mouser on June 12, 2009, 12:36 AM »

seems like a good idea for a coding snack or small utility.. probably there are some renamers that might handle it as well.
may i suggest that the tool should use a regular expression that provides the directory name? e.g. in your case it would be ^(.*)-\d\d\d\d

« Last post by mouser on June 11, 2009, 12:08 PM »

akx, as you can see from Nudone's status bar, it says the IPC service is not running.. do you think the problem is something as simple as TinyEv not knowing how to detect it in this case, or a bigger problem in that there is no way to communicate with it when launched in that way.

« Last post by mouser on June 11, 2009, 11:50 AM »

you need to make sure Everything is running.. if it is, then the problem may be that you are running it as a service. maybe tell akx where he can learn about this service trick.

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR won't launch programs anymore

« Last post by mouser on June 11, 2009, 09:08 AM »

(b) more importantly, why would exiting out of Comodo (as opposed to a complete uninstall) not clear the problem.

this makes me very mad -- the same thing happens with my eset firewall -- you can DISABLE it, but it still does things behind the scenes that can break network traffic. so that even if you THINK you have ruled it out as a culprit in some problem, you can't really be sure. not cool.

thanks for posting the solution -- i wouldn't be surprised if others don't find this thread useful in the future. in fact i may add a help page about it to farr help manual.
