Living Room / Re: does win XP 64-bit suck?

« Last post by mouser on January 17, 2009, 04:41 AM »

Just make sure that your motherboard and windows really does show you with at least 2gb or so free in windows -- i had an issue with my motherboard and windows32bit that meant i had well under 2gb of free memory when running win32 which really bothered me.

Living Room / AAAI Conference Proceedings Now All Online (1980-2008, Artificial Intelligence)

« Last post by mouser on January 17, 2009, 04:24 AM »

This is pretty big news for those who do Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning research -- it opens up a huge collection of high quality papers that are now available to the public.

It's long long overdue for academic publications and conferences to have all of their papers available for free download -- and this is another great step in the journey.  Some really great stuff here.

The AAAI Library contains a number of high-quality proceedings in the field of artificial intelligence. Included in the AAAI Member’s Library are proceedings of the AAAI National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, the Innovative Application of Artificial Intelligence Conference, the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining Conference, the AI Planning Systems Conference, the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology conference, and the Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference, among others.

I suggest you start with the top section, the main AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, and you could even read a paper i wrote in 2004.

General Software Discussion / Re: Complaints about Direct Access Text Expander Taking Ideas from Others - Split Topic

« Last post by mouser on January 17, 2009, 03:52 AM »

I have split the threads and move this one here.  The original thread is here: https://www.donation....msg147173#msg147173

I felt this was the fairest way to make sure everyone had their say and decorum was preserved.

Mini-Reviews by Members / Re: Direct Access - text expander and application launcher (and much more)

« Last post by mouser on January 17, 2009, 03:47 AM »

In January 2009 this thread became embroiled over some complaints made against Nagarsoft and Direct Access by another company about whether ideas were being copied from other programs..

To ensure that all sides have their say while at the same time avoidng having this thread degenerate, the complaint thread has been split off, and can be read here: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=16640.0

Let's agree to keep the two threads separate.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: System Tray plugin

« Last post by mouser on January 16, 2009, 08:55 PM »

very cool idea and great progress...
It's not quite working right here.. as i type "tray" i get 2 items shown in the results, and no more.  which two seem to be random (actually the first one is FARR but the other is random).
I dont see any icons for the items.
The clicking simulations dont seem to work.
Note that i am on winxp64 which could be causing some of the issues, but the fact that it is definitely finding them and listing 2 randomly suggests to me that that isnt it.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Cannot make a visible window modal

« Last post by mouser on January 16, 2009, 07:20 PM »

i suspect it has something to do with the new on-top preservation code i've written -- if i can track it down i can fix it easily.

if you can get it to happen reliably on your other pc, i might ask you to preserve those files and settings so i can test my fix

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR C# SDK and Documentation V2 (19/10/2008)

« Last post by mouser on January 16, 2009, 07:12 PM »

To expound on the issue:

There are two different ways that plugins can get triggered, one is by matching a plugin specified keyword on the left hand side of string.  The other is by matching a regex pattern supplied by the plugin.

The former should be used whenever appropriate since it allows FARR to be smarter about subsequent filtering;  regex should only be used when a plugin has a more advanced pattern to match.

I suggest we split off the "complaint" about directaccess and move it to the complaints sub-board, and re-open for normal directaccess discussion.

if you exit farr. and start it manually, change some options, then exit
then start it manually again, does it remember your settings?

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR reverting to default options when started with Windows!

« Last post by mouser on January 16, 2009, 02:04 PM »

its possible that farr is running under one user in one case, and under another user in the other case.. therefore there are 2 sets of settings files.

Multi Photo Quotes / Re: Dual Monitor Wallpaper displayed across both screens?

you have to tell it to let images span monitors (first checkbox)

Multi Photo Quotes / Re: Dual Monitor Wallpaper displayed across both screens?

« Last post by mouser on January 16, 2009, 01:49 PM »

its doesnt matter that the size of the images are different from monitors.
what does matter though is that you tell us what is happening more specifically than "no dice".

Multi Photo Quotes / Re: Dual Monitor Wallpaper displayed across both screens?

« Last post by mouser on January 16, 2009, 11:47 AM »

first tell me how far along you got configuring it --
do you basically have the images showing, but just you have a dif image on each screen, or something like that?

if you've gotten that far, then the best way to do what you want is go into the image cell page and choose a minimul image cell width = something close to your full combined width of all your monitors.

i know you might be thinking there should be a simpler way -- i think what i need to do is add some wizards to let you choose between several different kinds of setups.

let me know if you get it working!

Site/Forum Features / Re: New Member Map Mod for the Forum -- Configure Your Profile Location!

« Last post by mouser on January 16, 2009, 06:02 AM »

note that once its loaded, moving around and clicking dont cause server load, so that wouldnt help the server, though it might make it easier to see things..  maybe a compromise would be to change the pin for clicked user to green.

I thought in the interest of fair play we should start a thread where people can point out things they don't like about this site, and areas they would like to see improvement.

so have at it! and let's definitely keep this thread compliment-free -- it's meant for (hopefully constructive) criticism.

i don't think it's anything messed up about your system -- it sounds like whats happenin is that LBC is losing its "ontop" status and thus showing up "under" firefox.

what version of LBC do you have?

I feel like i'm just talking to myself here but there are some new interesting options, including the ability to completely manually specify the tile positions and sizes (useful if you want to create a very specific kind of grid).
