Living Room / Re: Wordle: Create Beautiful Word Clouds
« Last post by mouser on July 22, 2008, 07:13 AM »
another cool mod for forum would be:
show text of all posts which also contain a certain word in them, or show text of all posts from a thread.
very cool ideas.

maybe we can get wordzilla to write this?

i think it would be fun if we made tshirts like this maybe for the fundraiser.
(either a tag cloud for the site itself or like i said for the specific person who is getting the tshirt made out of their post text).

we could make mugs from it too of course, it's a kind of cool idea.

PopUp Wisdom / Re: Parsing of Fortune Files
« Last post by mouser on July 22, 2008, 06:20 AM »
i just uploaded a minor update.

it should fix the space at begining of line problem.

the conversion of normal newlines into spaces is by design since fortune files seem to be most often formatted with hard newlines for linebreaks which isn't appropriate for popup wisdom.

you have a couple of choices for forcing newlines in these files. you can manually put a \n where you want a newline, or you can start lines which should start on a new line with a space or you can put 2 newlines (or more) to indicate a break.

you know what would be cool is if we added a mod for the forum so you could ask it to generate a cloud (or just the raw text for the cloud) of all the post text by a given user.  suitable for a teeshirt as app says.

I see that i probably need to add something to farr that will tell you the FULL alias name of the aliases that are partially matched.  so that way when you type gp you would see for each of the entries the full thing to type for each of the partial matches.

all i can say is:

Find And Run Robot / Re: Updates: Patches?
« Last post by mouser on July 21, 2008, 10:55 AM »
It's not technically that hard to do.. but it would involve a lot of extra work on my part building these different ways of getting the program and uploading the different files.  If i didn't have so many different programs i maintain and didn't update as frequently as i do it might be something i'd consider, but as it is now it's just not something i plan on.

« Last post by mouser on July 21, 2008, 10:35 AM »
i had to upload a farr update since i forgot to change the version number -- so i went ahead and added this \n thing to launch first alias always, let me know if it works ok.

thanks for the heads up, will fix now.

Excited to hear about the project.
ps. the WordPress theme you've chosen is a bit hard on the eyes in my personal opinion.
22516
great read.  :up:

you have a point there, ok ill do it your way.
22518
the screensaver and wallpaper ones are trickier because idealy one would want to show a file list to let the user choose from.

this is actually possible using an alias, but you may need dc user nitrix to show you how to do it using an alias and the dosearch alias command.

Find And Run Robot / Re: some suggestions about FARR
« Last post by mouser on July 21, 2008, 06:51 AM »
i could do this.
perhaps what i could do is check for \n\n
if the second \n is found it will launch first result of an alias if there are multiple.

ok?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Updated plugin: FARR MostRecentlyUsed 0.4.0
« Last post by mouser on July 21, 2008, 05:42 AM »
make sure you actually really do have mru installed and enabled.
if you type "aplugins" you should see "FARR Most Recently Used Plugin" in the listing.
and typing mru should give you a nice menu of 4 choices no matter what.

:) i should mention this in the help file since it was just recently added based on user requests.

A screensaver controller plugin would be nice. It would show a list of all known screensavers you could choose from to trigger immediately, plus maybe options to disable/renable screenaver.

A wallpaper manager plugin would also be nice to let you choose a background image to set as your wallpaper.

A resolution changer plugin would be nice too (i think this could probably be done simply with an alias group and a commandline tool for changing plugins).

Hmm that is a great idea about \n but i wonder if it might even already work.. try it and see  8)
22524
funny.

ps. offtopic:
if you saw a certificate alert pop up when viewing this thread, it was because jgpaiva linked to an image in another thread and used an https link, which triggers the secure protocol for grabbing the file, and causes firefox to warn that the secure certificate for the server is not signed by a known source.  nothing to be concerned about.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post this.
It's one of those programs I wrote that very few people use so it's always nice to hear it's useful for someone.  :Thmbsup:
