Find And Run Robot / Re: General Help and understanding pattern scoring
« Last post by mouser on February 07, 2008, 01:19 PM »
you can't remove the numbers from the small display mode as far as i can remember.. i could add that option but i use big slides mode and recommend it :)

as far as bumping score of photoshop let me point out one thing:

if you just launch photoshop ONCE through farr, it will go into FARR's list of recent history of launched programs.  after that it will:
  • get a much higher score during search
  • come up instantaneously on matching searches
  • show by default in results when farr is shown

so to summarize -- if you have an app that doesnt come right up to the top initially, dont automatically think you have to go tweaking scores -- just launch it once and FARR will thereafter give it more respect.

Living Room / Re: Latest DC demo poll: When were you born?

we already have a nice age poll going, which is probably better for people to participate on:

(ps. I think the search function on the site needs to let you restrict searching to only polls if you want)

Screenshot Captor / Re: Date based folder creation?
« Last post by mouser on February 05, 2008, 03:29 PM »
i could easily extend it so that you could specify subdirectory paths in the file naming feature, which will be created if needed.  sounds like what you are asking for.  the only slight issue is that when you bring up screenshot captor from the tray, you might not see your screenshot if its filed in a subdirectory.. unless i had SC auto switch to the directory the last file was saved in, which wouldnt be a bad idea..

Warning:
do not blow compressed air into your computer while it is on.
especially not into your power supply.

turn it off first and wait a few minutes after before you turn it back on.

i have personally fried a power supply in front of my eyes by turning it on right after i sprayed compressed air cannister into it. :(

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Character Table
« Last post by mouser on February 05, 2008, 01:36 PM »
as for interactivity -- i think a good idea would be for farr to call the plugin when user types alt+SOMETHING in memo view.
so farr can pass along:
Alt+1 or alt+2 or alt+3 etc

and add a new funciton to plugin api so plugin can receive this.  so that will be one new way that users can interact with a plugin that uses the memo view.

Developer's Corner / Wordpress 2.3.3 Security Release Update (Tues Feb 5th)
« Last post by mouser on February 05, 2008, 08:24 AM »
A new version of Wordpress has been released just a few hours ago by the Wordpress team. The update is considered critical and fixes a security vulnerability and some minor bugs. The security flaw was found in the implementation of the XML-RPC which would allow any registered user to edit comments of other users using a specially crafted request.

one minor suggestion: the search on space is really nice. i think you should add also to search on end of sentence punctuation (period, exclamation point, questionmark, quotationmark) [.!?"]

It's not just you -- that right click context menu should not actually show for any tab except your History Diary tab.
If you want to hide items from showing in the Earn/Reward tab go to View -> Program Options ->
and disable the data configuration files you dont want to show.

ps.
thank you for the nice words about the program.

« Last post by mouser on February 03, 2008, 01:31 PM »
Personally I think bugs are intolerable, inexcusable, and grounds for uninstalling a program.

Except when they are in programs i write, then they are just minor inconveniences barely worth mentioning.

Living Room / myIPneighbors - site shows you how many other accounts on your shared hosting
« Last post by mouser on February 03, 2008, 12:00 PM »
This could be really useful for people on shared hosting.. I've often wondered how many accounts are put on each shared server.

However, I'm not sure how accurate this is, and most servers are allocated a block of multiple IPs, so this may only show you a small fraction of the accounts on your machine..  Still a cool idea regardless.

For those on shared hosting, myIPneighbors IP search is a great way to find out who your neighbors are or just to see how many other websites your hosting company hosts your server.

Is your website packed into a crowded host with hundreds of other sites? Or is there questionable content being hosted side by side with your site? If so, it may be time to look for a better host.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Farr Plugin Idea Again: Generic web page retrieve with regex show
« Last post by mouser on February 02, 2008, 12:49 PM »
This request goes out to czechboy and ecaradec who have been doing javascript plugins lately.

I don't know if ecaradec's plugin supports this yet, but one thing you can do with plugins that people haven't been using yet is you can let an alias call a plugin directly.  This isn't really much different than calling it when someone types something in but if you read my suggestion you'll see why i mention it.

I think it would be really useful to have a generic plugin that was meant to be called from alieses.

Here's what the plugin would do, it would be invoked like this:

webgrab URL "regexgrab" "outputformat"

This would cause plugin to
1. grab the page at URL
2. Match text regexgrab with pattern group matching
3. Display memo result of outputformat doing replacement of matched groups

This webgrab function is generic function that anyone could write aliases for.

So for example i might write an alias like this:
Alias: wtemp (.*)
Invokes: webgrab.dll webgrab http://www.weather.com/weather/local/$$1 "Feels like (.*)F" "Weather in your town is %1 degrees"

using this alias would cause the webgrab plugin to:

1. grab the page at http://www.weather.c.../weather/local/61820
2. Match text Feels like (.*)F
3. Display memo result of Weather in your town is %1 degrees (where %1 is the regex pattern match in step 2)

Hope its not too confusing to see the dual use of regular expressions and replacement..
Basically the alias has its own regex match which grabs the users zipcode that they type,
And then the second use is when telling the webgrab plugin how to match and display results.


The idea is that this one plugin could be used by lots of people to make and share different aliases that could grab all kinds of info from web pages.
