Mini-Reviews by Members / Re: SlickRun
« Last post by mouser on March 11, 2007, 09:22 PM »
SlickRun is a good program, but while you're checking out SlickRun, make sure you check out our own Find and Run Robot (FARR):

Screenshot - 12_19_2006 , 12_25_59 PM.png

Version 2 of Find and Run Robot has been in *heavy* development over the last 2 months and is bursting at the seems with new features, including plugins (see this thread for info on how to request a download link for version 2).

Note: there are now a ton of programs to do this kind of thing and the FARR help file has links to every single one i know about.

General Software Discussion / Re: hosting: moving away from shared, and into Virtual Private Servers (VPS)?
« Last post by mouser on March 11, 2007, 12:43 PM »
my experience with VPS has been like tinjaw, they will set it up for you and get your OS configured in the begining, then it's up to you to keep it updated, etc.

however, a major difference in hosts is how friendly and willing (and able!!) the tech support are with regarding to helping with such stuff.  in my experience, unless you are very good and enjoy diagnosing hosting problems, pay extra for better support.  liquidweb doesnt have the fastest tech support, but they are knowledgable, and that can go a long way.

« Last post by mouser on March 09, 2007, 03:58 PM »
not a bad idea at all.  You can scroll through it with ctrl+up and ctrl+dn (in v2.x), but showing the complete history of editline is a good idea.

Anyone who wants to try version 2.x (major new release) should message me through the forum by clicking the little balloon icon under my name and asking me for the v2 alpha download.

Developer's Corner / Re: Introductory C# web-based tutorials
« Last post by mouser on March 09, 2007, 07:46 AM »
This gal's idea was that she would only plug her drive in while working on her stuff, then keep it in her purse the rest of the time.

Right, that would work and might be a reasonable solution.

Developer's Corner / Re: Introductory C# web-based tutorials
« Last post by mouser on March 09, 2007, 07:40 AM »
it is very very easy to do what you want.  If you get an IDE external USB drive enclosure (which are super cheap these days), you can plug this into any computer and read from the drive.  I highly recommend such external drives for backup purposes.  Just get one that you can easily open up and put your drive into it (ie dont buy one of those seagate onetouch things with a non-openable built in hard drive).  The idea of putting your old drive in a usb enclosure to access it from new computer is a good one.

I've been happy buying such stuff from www.Directron.com but www.newegg.com is a great place for all hardware.

As to your second question about running from the external drive without installing on the pc -- whether you can do this may depend on the software you care about, HOWEVER -- keep in mind that the usb drive will look just like a regular drive so that any client who can access the main computer will be able to access the external drive, so i'm not sure your network admin will be satisfied with the solution..

General Software Discussion / Software for a Building/Co-op/SmallCommunity?
« Last post by mouser on March 08, 2007, 04:17 PM »
I've just moved into a new building and was thinking of putting up a small little website for the building.  Something simple where people in the the building might very occasionally post something and where announcements might be made, and building meeting minutes/budget might be posted, etc.  Maybe a calendar also?

I'm thinking a CMS system (maybe Drupal) would be most appropriate.. But maybe people have other suggestions?  This is similar to the thread about Family or Office coordination CMS stuff on DC: here.

This is a very interesting question..
It actually should be quite feasible based on checking the commandline arguments of svchost.. So it is something i could add if people were really interested.

General Software Discussion / Re: Can you upgrade, despite a broken installer?
« Last post by mouser on March 08, 2007, 08:43 AM »
ill give you the advice i always give with operating systems upgrades, though i have to say it's based mostly just on my intuitions and not massive experience trying both options.

I always prefer a clean operating system install.  Make notes and backups and if possible save your old hard drive and install the new OS on a new hard drive.  The benefits of doing a new install are significant in terms of keeping your system clean and organized, and forcing you to keep track of what you really need and use.

Just my 2 cents.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Reverse Regex Generator
« Last post by mouser on March 08, 2007, 05:54 AM »
I'm not 100% sure the existing regex helper tools don't do this, and i suspect this may not be at all simple, but i'd love to see a little utilitity that could take a regular expression and generates some random test strings that match it.  It would be extremely useful i think.

Anyone know of such a tool or want to give it a try?

By the way, this is called "code coveragew" analysis in the world of program analysis/optimization/debugging, and is used often to make sure that all of the code is tested thoroughly.
