what i love for these occasions is to get a hard drive rack and a spare hard drive, and just swap it in when you want to boot with an alternative OS.

Older Newsletters / Re: DonationCoder.com Article - One Year Report on our Experiments with Donation

« Last post by mouser on October 22, 2008, 04:27 AM »

they aren't idiots -- it's an imperfect system on our part which encourages people to sign up to get a license key -- they may not be paying much attention to anything when they come here in a rush to get a license key.

then if they get a newsletter from us and right away and don't even bother to read it -- and just assume that we are just one more of those evil spammers who are going to be sending them a million emails about all sorts of junk and scams.

the question is, can we make a better system that still doesn't leave us totally devoid of donations..

LaunchBar Commander / Re: minimize to tray and reboot..

« Last post by mouser on October 22, 2008, 02:07 AM »

If you find that happening it means that the settings arent being saved at reboot -- the easiest workaround is to get the bar where you want it, and then open up preferences and hit save.  those values will be remembered on reboot.

Hi Richard, welcome to the site and congratulations on starting your journey as a programmer.

It's a little tricky to just post an exe for people to run -- given all the security/virus/etc issues, people are probably rightfully wary of running executable programs from people they aren't familiar with.

One thing you might want to do is check out our self-teaching programming school.. if nothing else it might just give you some inspiration.

One thing i'm proud of here at DC is that we like to experiment with ideas..
Perhaps we could put together a list of a few different ideas to try and try them each out for a month or two and see how things go.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Internet-Style Email Indenting / UnIndenting on Selected Text

« Last post by mouser on October 21, 2008, 04:51 AM »

I'll just put in another plug for my Clipboard Help+Spell program if you do this kind of stuff a lot -- only because CHS lets you create text formatting presets/scripts that you can run on selected text really easily.  I use it to format text quite often -- you highlight some text -- hit the CHS hotkey to bring up the menu, choose the Formatting Presets submenu, and then select from your saved presets/scripts.

General Software Discussion / Re: AVG vs TicTocTitle

« Last post by mouser on October 21, 2008, 04:19 AM »

I apologize for the late reply -- shame on me and the rest of us for not responding to this sooner.

While viruses so in fact infect and attach to innocent files, that's not what's happening in this case.  Over time as you get more expeienced in such thigns you'll develop a better feeling for when something is likely to be a false alarm.  The fact that these were the only programs on your pc that were alerting is a good sign that it's a false alarm.

A *great* thing to do is upload the file to an online virus checker like http://www.virustotal.com/ as was mentioned above.  If only a couple indicate it, it's probably a false alarm.  Never ignore such false alarms but always treat them with a grain of salt.

What i want to encourage skrommel and other ahk coders to do is
1) encourage the ahk developers to be more aggressive in making antivirus companies stop these false alarms
2) set up an automated procedure for recompiling their ahk exes with new versions of ahk when it comes out to at least make it easier to update.
