Living Room / Re: A NAS server for my home
« Last post by Perry Mowbray on December 08, 2010, 05:31 AM »
I was concerned with wasting power too, and I set it up to shut down overnight.
-Perry Mowbray (December 07, 2010, 06:42 AM)

Perry, how do you restart it?
-phitsc (December 08, 2010, 04:44 AM)

It's got this nifty little thing at the front that glows blue when you click it on which I do when I boot my computer  ;) ... I was thinking of leaving it on all the time but in the end I didn't use it's webserver, so don't need it on all the time.

I probably wouldn't use the scheduled restart, as I'm just using to store files mainly. Actually, when my wife boots the computer she never starts the NAS (is this evidence that there IS a thing between wives and NAS's  :-\)

Though I did wonder about setting up the media streaming (as we get content free internet radio which is better quality than over the air). Have you looked into that?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / TimeZone Updated to version 1.4.2
« Last post by Perry Mowbray on December 08, 2010, 04:29 AM »
Sorry for the delay in posting this... I was expecting feedback and it never came and I forgot  :-[

I think I've fixed the current path bug (thanks CleverCat), but would appreciate feedback (as it was never apparent on my machine)

New version in the first post of this thread and on my site if dcUpdater hasn't downloaded the new version for you..

Please let me know if that fixes it for you too...

I bought my Synology a couple of years ago now: Synology DS207+ NAS and have had no problems with it or the Seagate drives; in fact I'm pretty happy with it!

I was concerned with wasting power too, and I set it up to shut down overnight.

Convincing my wife was easy, it's set up as a RAID1 and is an important part of my backup strategy.

from 37signals.com

7 very interesting (and honest) insights from creators that pulled the plug, including:
  • Verifiable (shut down August 1, 2010)
  • Wesabe (shut down June 30, 2010)
  • Storytlr (shut down February 24, 2009)
  • TwitApps (shut down September 13, 2009)
  • Vox (shut down September 20, 2010)
  • Swivel (shut down summer of 2010)
  • EventVue (shut down February 5, 2010)

The comments are interesting too, including this one:
David Andersen 05 Dec 10
@ Jim Jones – hoping a number of random volunteers will do quality work that you’d normally have to pay for and then use that output to make some sort of profit is ridiculous. That and ‘crowdsourcing’ is just a hyperbolic, ******** term that pseudo-hipsters like to use.

I tried e quite a bit before entering as I was disappointed when UltraEdit didn't live up to my initial expectations and I kept going back to PSPad (which is great, but it doesn't do everything and somethings it does badly)...

e is great: there was a bit of a curve to get going... but the penny is starting to drop now and I'm enjoying it. It looks super easy to add your own stuff to it.

And THANK YOU for the opportunity to own a registered copy (I think I would have bought one anyway)  :-*

Living Room / Re: Where have all the trackballs gone!
« Last post by Perry Mowbray on November 03, 2010, 03:36 AM »
Avoiding carpal tunnel is much more of a concern now than whether the input device is good for gaming. A friend of mine got hit by this recently, and ended up buying a RollerMouse Pro 2. Seems like a pretty device (and insanely expensive!) nifty, although it takes a bit getting used to - different sensitivity than using a mouse, and you don't have your usual Mouse Muscle Memory. Bonus point for using optical sensors instead of being mechanical, probably also part of the reason why it's not exactly cheap.
-f0dder (November 02, 2010, 01:43 PM)

Yes, that's what I've got, though it wasn't for carpel tunnel problems; mine was shoulder extension: having the mouse too far away from directly in front of my shoulder.

I've got one at home and work bought me one for the office as well (in fact, two other people at work now have them too).

Man o man, those Contour products look so nice! I have the Logitech Marble Mouse but I use it sparingly. Every time I get going with it the scrolling ends up throwing me back to my Logitech G9. I think that scrolling - or lack of it, actually - has always been my bane with track balls.

But I love the looks of the Contour Roller Mouse and the Kinesis Freestyle Keyboard made to fit it!
-J-Mac (November 03, 2010, 12:30 AM)

That's been my exact set up for over 18 months now: it's saved my shoulder  :Thmbsup:

For the RollerMouse, the distance you have to move your hands is much shorter - I haven't used it enough to know whether you end up accidentally moving the mouse pointer around with your wrists, though :)
-f0dder (November 02, 2010, 01:43 PM)

In fact I keep my fingers on the keyboard and move the mouse with my thumbs (for simple things). You can click with the roller bit too, so simple button clicks are possible too. More complex mouse operations need a little more control than I have in my thumbs so I can use either hand...

It does need a little getting used to, but I don't accidentally move the mouse any more. Getting the relative heights right is important though: the contour comes with "lifters" to help align the height with the keyboard.

No, it would appear the context menu is disabled when Auspex is not minimized. Can probably do something about that.  :-[
-timns (November 02, 2010, 09:46 PM)

You mean minimised to the System Tray? That's true. At the moment it's mimimised to the Task Bar and no menu...

As I said above, .57 quits when I close so I can't get it to minimise to the System Tray.

When in actual fact, with Auspex off I got:
Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. Send, {ALTDOWN}n{ALTUP}
  2. Sleep, 100
  3. Send, {CTRLDOWN}v{CTRLUP}{ALTDOWN}r{ALTUP}{ALTDOWN}soo{ALTUP}

I deleted the Window commands, but interestingly with Auspex running AutoScriptWriter misses all those  :huh:  So, it'd be nice to be able to pause Auspex whilst doing such things then kick it off again (rather than quitting and restarting).

One other small thing... does the context menu from the Tray not work when the window is open??
