Nice 3 part article about the early days of personal computer game making..

The Faery Tale Adventure was a computer game that I created for the Amiga in 1987. It was moderately popular for it’s day, and was ported to a number of platforms, including MS-DOS and the Sega Genesis.  I decided to write this account because, much to my surprise, there is still interest in the game — I occasionally get fan email or inquiries as to whether there will ever be a sequel. And so I thought it might be interesting to tell the story of how the game came to be, and what happened afterwards.

Adventures of Baby Cody / Re: Where is Baby Cody
« Last post by mouser on February 01, 2018, 08:44 PM »
Baby cody has been sitting at the top of a bookshelf in my office for the last couple of years -- he would love to take another trip!
Message me your address and I'll send him on his way.
He said his only request is to keep him above freezing temperatures -- he says his feathers aren't as warm as they used to be in his younger days.

Well, I went ahead and did it, I bought a 3d printer.

Anycubic I3 Mega:


Supposed to be a good 3d printer for beginners, and nice and compact.

I'm just printing the test thing now.

What I'd really like to do is have a 3d cody -- anyone have enough 3d (and 3d printer) experience to try to make a version of Cody our mascot for 3d printing?

DC Website Help and Extras / Re: Official New DC Members Pages Thread
« Last post by mouser on January 31, 2018, 08:34 AM »
Just confirming that domain name mapping for the new dcmembers pages works well and is fairly easy to set up.  That means that your normal url will be
http://www.dcmembers.com/YOURSITENAME
  but that we can easily park any domain you want at that address so that your dcmembers site and pages will be available at
www.WHATEVERYOUWANT.com
.  Easy to change or remove it as well if your plans change.

From the arstechnica article:

Intel released a microcode update that offers operating systems additional controls over the processor's ability to predict branches...
Microsoft's initial Windows patches would detect the presence of the updated microcode and use the additional controls if they were available. The new Windows update modifies the operating system so that it won't use the microcode's new features, even if they're detected. Microsoft has also documented registry keys that can be used to selectively enable or disable the protections, for sensitive systems or test environments. By avoiding the new microcode features, Microsoft has found that the system instability is also avoided.

You might try disabling the thumbnail panel to see if that makes a difference.

Can you elaborate a little bit about when SC seems to freeze?
The one thing that SC does unusually is that it's thumbnail panel is treated like a file explorer so it monitors that directory and shows files in it.. So that could cause some slowdowns if the directory is network mapped.

« Last post by mouser on January 27, 2018, 07:19 AM »
Baloo eventually came to the realization that perhaps animals from the backyard weren't what her human wanted. But rather than give up hunting things for Ben entirely, she simply switched up the kinds of gift she was giving.
If he doesn't enjoy mice and birds, perhaps a leaf will be more to his liking? And sure enough, it was.
"It took a couple of months of me rejecting her gifts for her to start bringing me leaves. They were always big, nice looking leaves," Ben said. "It was such a relief from the live mice every morning that I would show my gratitude by taking the leaf and playing with it while she sat on my chest." Baloo had gotten the message. Every morning the cat would then find a perfect leaf and bring in to Ben..

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Opening Favorite Folder
« Last post by mouser on January 26, 2018, 10:39 AM »
Assuming we are talking about LaunchBar Commander..

Is there a way of create menu with favorite folders, when we click to open folder with default explorer ?
I am creating but i am getting submenu as well..

I think you are asking how to simply add items to your dock so that when you click them they open a Folder using windows explorer.

You can do so easily.  Simply add an item and choose the "Command - a program, file, folder, or url" and specify the path to the folder below where it says "Command path".

For example:
Screenshot - 1_26_2018 , 10_37_43 AM_ver002.png

Note that you can change the icon as well to something customized.



I'll note that you can also have LBC display the CONTENTS of the menu directly if you prefer by using the "Folder" node type, but I think you probably already know that.  However you may not know that if you choose this option you can still right-click on a folder and get a menu that lets you open the folder.

Official Announcements / Re: New DonationCoder, New Ideas
« Last post by mouser on January 24, 2018, 10:06 PM »
I think we also have to figure out the best place to host the blog posts/articles, and using what technology.

For example, we could use the joomla article system and host the items on the HOME PAGE of donationcoder.com, and/or try to merge it into the donationcoder "blog" page (https://www.donation....com/editorials/blog).
I think it doesn't make sense having multiple pages on the main website with different "kinds" of blogs, so I think it would make sense to merge them all into a single "blog" page, maybe even eliminating the separate blog page and merging the blog with the homepage.

Another alternative would be to put the blogs on the front of dcmembers.com website instead of the donationcoder website, and use wordpress.  This would have the disadvantage of not helping increase exposure of donationcoder, but have the advantage of having a new separate site where there were less things pulling in different directions, and more like starting a new website..

i press only once PRT SC and the capture was done and directly saved, instead of two operations in the normal way.

See my first screenshot, you just need to set the option that says to "STAY MINIMIZED ".
