Developer's Corner / A good mini-cms like system for Skrommel Type Web Collection?

« Last post by mouser on February 10, 2008, 01:12 PM »

Take a visit to skrommmel's page:
https://www.donation...m/Software/Skrommel/

Skrommel creates tons of Coding Snacks on DonationCoder, and I think his page is getting so big that its getting insane.

Does anyone have any ideas for some kind of mini Content Management system that might help him easily maintain it while still providing a nice user experience?

Some requirements I can think of.  Skrommel can add or modify these that i list depending on what he thinks is best:

• Be suitable for use *inside* another site -- i.e. shouldnt have to run the entire site, just one section of it.  This could be the hardest requirement?
• Easy to update entries and add new "entries".
• Should be easy to find what you are looking for if you know, or browse and explore things if you are just looking.
• Nice news section with latest updates.

Any ideas?

Living Room / Re: Kung Fu Election sponsored by AtomFilms

Try to give a little more info in your posts next time!

What this is:
It's actually an online (flash) fighting game in the style of "Mortal Kombat", based on the political candidates in the US 2008 election.

I have to say it's extremely well done, and has a fair bit of humour in it as well (tip: play hillary and use your distance attack to see who shows up for a cameo).

It's quite violent, like all of these Mortal Kombat games, and so may be not suitable for children.

UrlSnooper / Re: help me please

« Last post by mouser on February 09, 2008, 01:56 PM »

no, clear the keyword area so that it's blank.

what i mean is
the way url snooper works is you start it running and then you go off and browse the internet site or start retrieving your file from the internet and urlsnooper watches the web traffic and finds urls.

so you have to
Frist start urlsnooper running and sniffing
THEN go visit the website using your normal browser or media player and if nesc. start the file playing.

only then will url snooper find urls.

that suggested that the program is working fine and sniffing packets.
as a test, start it going and visit
http://www.c-span.org/

see if it finds some urls there.

also don't forget that its super easy to add files to alias groups.

so for example you could put photoshop, thegimp, painsthop pro, illustrator, all into an alias group called "art"
then just type "art" to get your list of programs in the art group to choose from, always in the order you expect.

you can put items in an alias group from the options alias tab, or just by right clicking on any found item and choosing "add to group alias".

another nice thing about doing that is that you can give any file in an alias group the exact label you want displayed for it.

i don't really drink cocktails/mixed drinks.. i'd much rather go for a few pints of guinness at the pub.

but all tinkerers like to tinker, regardless of the materials.  experimenting with a cocktail shaker and miscelaneous ingredients is fun.

General Software Discussion / Process Tamer.. The Drink

« Last post by mouser on February 08, 2008, 01:15 PM »

I've decided that all of my software programs will now come with official cocktail recipes.

This week I give you "Process Tamer - The Drink"

If you use my Process Tamer program and you are an alcohol drinker then you are obliged to try making this drink:

Process Tamer - The Drink
1 shot vodka
1/2 shot lemon juice
1 tsp canned cranberry juice concentrate and
1 tsp any other flavor canned juice concentrate.
1 drop of bitters - optional.
Shake with ice.
Pour and add 2 shots of seltzer afterwards.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Is there a main page for plugin downloads?

« Last post by mouser on February 08, 2008, 10:58 AM »

Lashiec's explanation is almost right.

It's not that v2 is not available for the world, it's that there is a new set of FARR pages, with new screenshots, a link to the plugins, etc.  But the FARR v2 web pages aren't finished yet, and so they haven't been unveiled in half-finished state.

General Software Discussion / Re: Firefox plugin that lets you delete manage url autocomplet entries nicely

« Last post by mouser on February 08, 2008, 10:57 AM »

It's a powerful addon, but it mostly adds features to the autocomplete system, which ironically made life more complicated for me.  So i guess im still looking for another extension that does less, but is more suited to culling stuff i dont want from the normal autocomplete system.

General Software Discussion / Firefox plugin that lets you delete manage url autocomplet entries nicely

« Last post by mouser on February 08, 2008, 09:00 AM »

I'm looking for a firefox extension that will let me manage flexibly the url autocomplete list.

What i really want to do is to be able to maintain a list of urls which i want to always keep as autocomplete, and others which i want to remove when i restart firefox.
