I'm in.. Still haven't decided what to program but I'm in.

Web applications are fine too -- and we can provide hosting space if you like.

ps2.
Should we have a theme this year?

N.A.N.Y. 2009 / NANY 2009 Intro
« Last post by mouser on November 13, 2008, 04:24 AM »
The N.A.N.Y. 2009 Challenge:
New Apps for the New Year

Here is my challenge to all of you with some coding skills.  Join me in pledging to release a new program/utility/game on JANUARY 1st, 2009 to celebrate the new year!

It doesn't matter how big it is, but it must go live to the public as freeware/donationware between Dec 31 and Jan 1st, 2009.

We will give out fun prizes (custom dc mugs celebrating the event or something like that), for all coders who live up to their pledges.

Ground rules:
  • You have to state you are participating well before the actual date (you shouldn't just wait until Dec 31 to reveal whether you decided to participate or not); ideally announce by posting a reply on this thread before dec 7, if possible.  DECEMBER 7 is our goal to have the pledges.
  • This can't be an update of an existing program - has to be a new program.
  • You can post the program on your own website, etc. - you don't have to be affiliated with DonationCoder.com - you still get to announce it as part of the N.A.N.Y. Challenge.

Ok, who's in for this fun challenge!?




UPDATE:

  • The key thing here is that it be a new release, unveiled for all to freely use on January 1st.
  • It doesn't have to be a windows application.  It can be mac, linux, etc. [though cross platform would be better]
  • Or it can be a web-based service.

I think wordzilla is taking an extended vacation from updating, but i know that the search works unchanged from previous smf 1.1x editions, so if you can make the changes manually it will work.

As for integrating it into v2 that might be more effort.. It would be nice if someone could get together with wordzilla and port it to version 2.

On a side note, I've often wondered whether I couldn't configure accounts I post from to have "scheduled" sending -- so I can compose a message (usually a response) and if I don't do anything about it, have it sent after some default amount of time.


many email clients have such a feature.

Great.  :Thmbsup:

I use mIRC myself and the donationcoder chat channel is #donationcoder on efnet.

ps. Participation on the site is always preferable to a monetary donation.

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR Error : Entry Point Not found.
« Last post by mouser on November 12, 2008, 07:17 PM »
great discovery!

when you have the energy, you might try putting some of the cpanel shortcuts back and try to find out which exact shortcut triggers it or if all do -- that would help me figure out the root cause and solve it for others.

Find And Run Robot / Re: how to access FARR on VNC server?
« Last post by mouser on November 12, 2008, 05:41 PM »
farr now supports multiple custom hotkeys so you could configure multiple different hotkeys on your different computers.

« Last post by mouser on November 12, 2008, 01:26 PM »
can you get it to reliably occur?
try this:
go to farr options and enable the option that tells you exactly what farr is searching as it searches and see if you can trigger the error:

Screenshot - 11_12_2008 , 1_25_58 PM.png

as vixay suggested, i kind of think this may have to do with a networked file that no longer exists or has changed locations..

mikerrrr do you also have files that are located on a network or removable driver that could be changing or disconnecting?

Finished Programs / Re: AHK Coding Snack Idea: Deluxe AHK Script Manager (AXEM)
« Last post by mouser on November 12, 2008, 07:41 AM »
keep in mind that if you call dcupdate from axem and pass it the axem directory it will also check for updates for any other .dcupdate files it finds for other scripts as long as they are in a subdirectory of that directory.  that's a good thing, it means you have update checking for all scripts that support it*.

*only exception would be if your scripts are in a different directory than axem; i guess in this case the ideal solution would be:
1) have me add a feature to dcuhelper.exe and dcupdater to let you pass multiple directories -- might be best solution
2) have 2 options in axem for checking for updates, 1) check for axem updates, and 2) check for script updates

Living Room / Re: [forum] request for link statistics
« Last post by mouser on November 12, 2008, 07:30 AM »
it's a good idea actually, though it would require some javascript in the page code if it was to track external links.
care to see if someone already wrote such an extension for smf? i doubt it but here is where to look:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/

if you find me a simple php/javascript code to keep track of clicks on different links let me know and i'll have a look.  i guess the most important things would be:
1) it shouldn't disrupt the working of the page if user has js disabled
2) people on the forum have to agree that it's not a privacy invasion.  i think as long as all it does it count clicks and doesnt save any other info about the user it's probably not going to bother anyone.

One downside.. this only works for javascript not the other fscript supported languages.
21491
This is a FScript based plugin. Sub-plugins are in fact plugins for the scripter plugin, not directly FARR plugins. There isn't any support for regex based search, and I'm not sure that I could add it.

Having looked at the code.. it really doesn't seem that hard to add all of these things:
1) regex support for each plugin
2) custom icons for each plugin
3) ability to disable and enable individual scripts

Because in essence you've showed how to make a set of functions as an array element that can be iterated through.
For example instead of using plugins["colors"]={..code..}
It could be done like plugins["colors"]["regex"]= "color .*" and then plugins["colors"]["icon"]="coloricon.ico" and plugins["colors"]["code"]={ .. code..}

Am i wrong?

And as for update support -- that's not a problem at all -- the updater doesnt care if it finds 20 different .dcupdate files in a plugin directory, so each little script can have its own update file.

21492
sounds weird but interesting. :)

Older DC Contests and Challenges / Re: Is it too early for NANY?
« Last post by mouser on November 11, 2008, 11:18 AM »
There is no problem at all with finishing starting or finishing your application before the time frame.. and in fact we have always encouraged people to release unofficial betas as we lead up to the jan 1 date, so that's completely fine.
21494
Couldn't get it to quite work here ...
i put Scripter and Colors both in a new parent directory.
Scripter was loaded by FARR, and it seems to have found the Colors script -- since if i typed scipter it listed "Colors"

but typing: colors

had no effect (just showed files with the word colors in them).
21495
I think it needs a better name than "Scripter"..

Maybe EMSF (ecaradec's mutiscripter for farr)?
or FMS (farr multi-scripter)?

My votes it to do NANY from December 1st to December 31st.
What does everyone else think?

For more info on N.A.N.Y. see:
https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=11206.0
https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=11675.0

Basically -- its an event where we encourage all programmers (amateur or pro) who hang out at donationcoder to create a new (previously unreleased) program, to be released on January 1st of the new year.  NANY = New Apps for the New Year.

We had a theme last year but not the year before -- we can decide if we want to do one again.

Reward = Custom DonationCoder mug + fame + fortune + a few donations.
