both animated and real person spoof might be too ambitious, but someone with a good sense of humour might try writing and narrating a powerpoint-style presentation?

indexing, which will let farr be able to search through mp3 tag information, is coming, and will be a combination of built-in code for maintaining indices, and plugins to let other programs add meta information.

but it won't be in version 2 coming out this month, it will come later.

Nod5 - yes you are certainly right, we need to over use classical music for sure.

By the way let's not pick on dash, there is lots of inspiration to be had from Enzo, which as really channeled the mac hype style:

that's a really nice idea cerAmik.. let's see if we can't find a way to make all of those search engines available using some kind of filterable plugin.

one thing that's kind of funny though is how they are hyping it as a new technology:

"Fun Visual Conversation Technology" = A screenshot program with a button to upload an image to an image uploading site.

Anyone who has installed a context menu extension to upload images to their flickr or other image uploading sites basically has this already, thought it might take 1 extra mouse click..  still seems nice and nice that it's cross platform and free (for now?)

Living Room / Very clever time-travel themed flash game: Timebot

« Last post by mouser on July 19, 2007, 07:31 PM »

Here's another entry from the www.JayIsGames.com flash competition.. It's quite a brilliant concept.. You control a robot who can essentially duplicate himself and co-exist with previous instance in order to team up and solve puzzles.  Very clever..

as has been suggested in another thread, don't put url links in the special CODE block, just leave them in your message like normal, and the forum will automatically make them hyperlinks.

farr already has this, but perhaps i could add more options about maximum autosize settings to make it more obvious.

Yesterday i had a great idea.. we need some plugin games for FARR..
I actually thought of one that would fit well, a quiz game plugin.

When you type quiz or (qz) it might display a result list of categories (or difficulty levels?),
you choose one and it presents you with a random question and a result list of possible answers,
get it right, earn some points, get it wrong, lose some.

It should keep a running tally of your score, and which questions you've already answered.  i know there are some free quiz data sets that might be usable.

(to keep people from cheating, i was thinking that as soon as it presented you with a question, it would pre-emptively deduct points as if you got it wrong, and then award you points if you get it right, so that you can't just keep skipping questions).

sounds fun? anyone want to try to make it?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Feature Request: Add Transparency

« Last post by mouser on July 19, 2007, 11:28 AM »

i'm still debating with myself how many more advanced editing features to add to SC.

The program is designed to work well with an external graphics editor -- the best solution might simply be to get yourself a good image editor like Paint Shop Pro, and configure it in SC as the image editor (see options).  Then whenever you need to do something like set transparent area, you can just hit the graphics editor button on the top right of SC, then edit and save the modified image, and SC will pick up the changes.  SC will even preserve any objects (arrows, callouts) that you created on your original.
