LINK!!  http://www.custombar.net/ :P
It looks pretty good.
Seems a bit outdated, it's not good that it isn't updated since january.
Nevertheless, i like the idea, it spares lots of screenspace! :D
Only having support for winamp is a bad idea, most people use wmp.
I've seen such minimalist launch bars in alternative shells (like bb4win and litestep), but those are part of the shell itself.
Never seen a stand-alone version. But maybe other members can be of some help! ;)

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: move small dialog windows to cursor position
« Last post by jgpaiva on December 12, 2006, 03:58 AM »
The occasional problem that I was having where a window jumped that wasn't supposed to, either shrinking or not, seems to have gone away.

Do you thing the revised code (which I didn't really look over) is responsible?
Well... That's good! :D
I don't think the few lines i added to the code could make any difference. On the other hand, this new version was compiled with a way newer version of AHK, which means that might have been a bug in the ahk code that has already been fixed. (i haven't noticed it in the changelogs, though..)
But anyways, it's good to know it's gone now :D

Find And Run Robot / Re: Map to command line
« Last post by jgpaiva on December 11, 2006, 05:07 PM »
Wi tha regular expreion in the form:
^r (.*)
and a result in the form
Run $$1|$$1
, you should be able to do anything you can do with the run box, i think. You'd only have to type "r " followed by the command. Possibly, it'll close the command box right after, not allowing you to read anything, so i'd suggest using a "result" in the following form:
Run $$1|cmd /k $$1

Would it be something with AHK?
Maybe i should investigate this further.. thanks for the tip ;)

Well... If you have trouble with some processes taking too much memory, maybe you should look at mouser's process tammer. Might be the solution for your problems, and it'd make you not need to monitor the processes yourself ;)

I don't quite understand what the modification means.
I added that because if you don't add it, you don't see what you wrote, but see an error, saying there's no attachment. I'll show you. The next 2 lines are that same thing, on the first line inside the code tag and on the second one, without it.
[attach=1][/attach]
[ Invalid Attachment ]

As you can see, the second line is replaced by a parse error from the forum ;)

I know... It seems unbelievable, but.. There's a new version of DialogMove!! Run to get it ;)
I've updated it to give it some more speed when moving the windows, and to remove the screen configuration options, the script gets those by itself, no need for configuration.


DialogMove v1.8.93 updated 10-12-06:
moves windows smaler than a given size to a place closer to the mouse position.

I have one doubt about the NANY chalenge. The app has to be released on december 31st/ january 1st, but how about its beta versions? It can't have any beta versions released until then?
BTW... If i enter it, i can't release it on that day (i won't be at home :( ). Can i give it to you, mouser, and you'll release it for me? :)

Living Room / Re: Nice Blog Piece on Google Taking Advantage of its own Ad System
« Last post by jgpaiva on December 09, 2006, 08:24 AM »
Interesting... and unfair situation.
I wouldn't like to be on the skin of people who pay for advertisement, as said in the article, those are the ones who are most decieved. They put their money in, and don't get what they deserve.
But it's also bad for consumers, instead of getting the stuff that would really be of interest to them, they might get a lower quality google product, only because google is the one hosting the advertising.

On the other hand... This is what we get for allowing google to get this humongous empire.

Honestly, i like google for its fantastic search results, and for taking out a big part of those intrusive ads we used to see. This doesn't mean i don't understand the people who pay for advertisement, it only means i prefer it like this than the old times.
Yes... Call me selfish.. :(

Yep, they did it again!!
Fantastic... So cute, and just like app said, so relaxing.
I think that what makes their games be this cool is the sounds they use, and the fact that they don't feature any violence. They only think about entertaining people, and that's the most important part :D

« Last post by jgpaiva on December 07, 2006, 06:49 PM »
1. Code does not move <- but it'd be cool if it danced with me when i got it right ;)

2. Code is not green text on a black background <- green? BAH! i hate green

3. Code has structure <- hum... you should see some of my friends' code :P

4. Code is not three dimensional <- it might be easier to handle if it was visual, though

9. People who write code use mice <- i do use the mouse, but only when i'm not coding :P

10. Most code is not inherently cross platform <- unfortunatelly :'( :'(

Damn, TakeABreak is powerful, i had no knowledge about that!
I have no courage to use it, though ;)
Weird, in my computer, it did create the .ini file...

don't read this if you don't want to know how to efectively killing these kind of programs
just use the fantastic process explorer. It's like windows task manager, only WAY better :P

That's a cool graph! :D
It's interesting to see how it's been developing. Specially, how fast p2p is growing.
As for how much "market share" it has, i don't find that particularly surprising, as there are already lots of open source stuff that is released under torrents, and it appears to be the best way to take advantage of everybody's connection and not only the servers'.
Also, most of my friends download something in the order of the tenths of GB every month, and i bet that isn't made out of web traffic ;)

Best Text Editor / Vim: important usage tips
« Last post by jgpaiva on December 06, 2006, 05:17 AM »
Well.. Recently i haven't been able to spend as much time here at DC as i'd like to. That's because i've had an humongous amount of work to do lately.
The up side on this, is that i've been intensively using VIM. This resulted in learning a few tricks, and making a few improvements on what already is possibly the best editor around.
So, i'd like to share them with you.

Actually, i won't share them all, they are too many, but i'll give you the best pointers :P
I started by making a google search about vimrc. It's vim's configuration and startup file, the place to put all your configs. The google link i mentioned was where i learned the most, because it had other people's vimrc files, and the big majority of them are very well commented, which is a big help in understanding what each of the commands does.
After, i found that there's a small url in vim's page that links to vim tips. It's amazing the quantity of fantastic stuff available there, not only on the topics itself but also on the comments. Be sure to search for the top rated first, as those are the most interesting advices, and some sum lots of topics into a single one. This will require that you know something about vim already, though. That's why i recomend you do the vim tutor first.

Well... That sums it up. I know it doesn't looks like much, but there's material for about 2-3 weeks worth of reading material ;)
I leave you with my vimrc file, with the options i consider most important. (awaiting editing to add the file)

Living Room / Re: Any full clipboard master?
« Last post by jgpaiva on December 05, 2006, 07:02 PM »
the name for what you're looking for is "clipboard enhancer". There's a fantastic one here at DC, it's called "clipboard help and spell". It doesn't support anything other than text, though, which i guess makes it not suit your needs.
On the other hand, there are lots of threads about such programs here at the forum. Just search for "clipboard", you should get an interesting set of results ;)
