a foolish investment
Gentlemen, there are at least ten Foolish Investment Avoidance programs that I feel you should try.
Anjou is probably preferred as discount is handsome.

Yeah, just another piece of half-baked nonsense, I'm afraid  :-[

found this whilst looking for more WordStart inspired scripts
Works particularly well if you set the activation as CTRL-BACKSPACE-TAB-DELETE, you should give that a try!  :)

Hey!  Well done MilesAhead

Folder Cache is featured at Shell Extension City today, May 21, 2010.

I've heard of taking it on the chin but that might be going a little too farr!

a couple of days ago i read about WordStar
;D ;D
I was just about destroyed when WordStar went under.
A huge number of people still have WS keys burnt into the retina of the mind's eye.

Personally, I think it's time you stopped faffing about with mice and keys and began to master mind control.  :Thmbsup:

I can hear it but it's not annoying at all.

Thanks, useful info!

i've read through your ME review, Chris. sorry i missed it before. thanks. i'll check ME out later.

As rjbull points out, it's not for everyone -- what is? I've tried others and happen to prefer ME but your proclivities may lie elsewhere.

Just about every key on my keyboard has multiple 'soft' macros tied to it. That doesn't help with simultaneous-multi-key gaming action (so far, I haven't found the need for such in Noughts and Crosses.)

MilesAhead: Would you mind giving your subjective assessment of the fan noise?

Living Room / Re: GPS Unit Recommendations?
« Last post by cranioscopical on May 20, 2010, 04:27 PM »
I like the newer Garmin models.
I use them in my cars and have had no problems other than a brief delay finding the satellites (something that's been addressed in the latest models).
When I've rented cars in the States I've rented Garmin models with them -- again, no problems.
I can't compare to other brands, alas, as I lack experience of them.

Most people on DC seem besotted with AHK, but I'd like something that's quick and easy to set up without needing even elementary programming.
FWIW, I find that Macro Express makes creating hot keys simple.

These 'deleted' books, however, would remain on the shelves until somebody needed the space and got around to actually tossing them.
So much for those dewey-eyed librarians!

Stock analysis is the oldest profession, because the serpent convinced Adam and Eve to buy stock in apple.
Actually, I think it was running a diner, one of those rib joints if I recall.

oh right. that's intersting though. if WiLMA can disable things then that does open up possibilities.
Oh dear, sorry again, I must learn to express myself better.  :-[
I don't think WiLMA will do that, so you'd just call WiLMA by launching something (of your own): step 1 stop AWM, step 2 start WiLMA -- batch file, a line or two of ahk, whatever. You'll need to see if you need that, and what if any interactions you have on your system, and what works best for you.
2443
when you say AWM can be suspended automatically, do you mean it will suspend operation when a specific window has focus? i'd seen how you can set rules/exclusions but not a "global" kind of suspend.
Oh, sorry, no.
I meant only that you, yourself, could set up however you call WiLMA to switch off AWM.
2444
is there no end to this quest?
Yes, it's "ion".  ;)

Good luck with WiLMA, it seems a good match with your layout.
(You may find you have to suspend AWM in some cases but that can be automatic.)

Thanks for all the info you're posting here. You're on an interesting journey.

There are reasonably frequent updates to Actual Window Manager, and I've found the developer open to ideas and suggestions.

If you're using as many screens as you are, and you haven't already investigated WiLMA, you might find it useful. Although I'm just a poor relation with only two screens, WiLMA is great for a few tasks where I prefer a bunch of windows to be in specific places on each.
2446
i was trying not to, but it might just be that Actual Window Manager will be running alongside all of the above tools (except for Taskbar Shuffle). the battle for supremacy begins...
  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
2447
a dialog window that won't come into focus
Actual Window Manager www.ActualTools.com is pretty good at this stuff.
I was using Ultramon 3 and a bunch of home-made macros for stuff like this but found AWM suited me a bit better.

Living Room / Re: could two numeric keypads work at the same time
« Last post by cranioscopical on May 13, 2010, 07:15 AM »
plugging both numeric keypads in just disables them both
Well, at least it was an inexpensive way to find out.

Have you thought about one of these?

Well, Hello! It's nice to see you posting, at least.
