General Software Discussion / Re: Complaint: Softwrap (nasty eula)

« Last post by app103 on September 21, 2009, 08:36 AM »

I am a firm believer in just enough protection to keep honest people honest. Anyone else is going to be dishonest no matter what you do, and never buy, no matter how well you protect it.

A simple serial number that unlocks the application from trial to full version is all that is needed. The serial could be 12345 for every copy and be no less protected. When honest people are asked to buy to continue to use, they buy, no matter how little protection the software has, if they like the software they are using.

The strong arm tactics of DRM like yours just annoys honest people and turns them off, causing them to spend their money elsewhere. When companies using strong DRM like yours start selling less software, it's not piracy to blame, it's the DRM driving their customers away. Making the DRM even stronger doesn't bring them back. It just drives even more away. And you know this!

Of course I don't expect you to admit that, especially on a public forum. It would be crazy to think that you would give away the truth when your entire business model is built on selling developers a great big lie and trapping them into a vicious circle of ever increasing DRM leading to more loss of sales which you blame on piracy in order to sell them stronger DRM which causes them to lose more sales (lather, rinse, repeat). Revealing the truth would put you out of business.

People willing to pay for software do not pirate software, unless or until something forces them to. DRM doesn't make them willing to pay. Liking the software and feeling it's a good value makes them want to pay. They would rather use freeware, open source, or software with less DRM than pirate anything, when faced with the choice. The ones that do resort to pirating something are pushed into it. Your abusive and intrusive DRM turns some honest people into "criminals", ones that would never have thought to pirate anything before.

Because of the way I have my PC's desktop set up, sound is irrelevant. The popups will get your attention without it, one way or another.

There is a bug in Notezilla that makes it not play well with my desktop, and a built in annoyance that doesn't take my situation into consideration.

The annoyance: Notezilla was designed for normal people that don't have their taskbar stretched to max size and situated on the right side of their desktop, on autohide, like I do. It flashes the taskbar button which causes the taskbar to unhide and stay stuck till I address the popup sitting on the only visible half of my screen.

The bug: It messes up the z-order of some things on my desktop, causing some items that should always be on top to drop behind other windows. I am a clock watcher by nature and when my clock disappears from my desktop I go through withdrawal. I have to minimize every window and find my clock and click it to bring it back to always on top. (it messes up other things besides my clock, such as messenger+ desktop buttons and trout minibar).

Combined, these two things do more than sound could ever do for getting my attention and forcing me to address the note constructively, making me think twice about hitting the snooze thereby causing it come back later and cause chaos again. I do what is on the note or else. 

If the power went out and it was late at night, I probably wouldn't be productive, if I didn't have to be. And, I'd have a great excuse!

-SKesselman (September 20, 2009, 01:59 PM)

If the power went out here, I'd be differently productive, most likely doing things that don't require electricity, and can be done by the light of candles, oil lamp, or wind up flashlight, providing it wasn't insanely hot & humid. (if it was, I'd probably go on a shopping spree at the 24-hour drugstore on the other side of town)

I am the type of person that always has to be doing something and since acquiring my first PC, it is usually something on my computer. I can not remain idle too long without becoming bored and my house is stocked with plenty of things to prevent that from happening.

General Software Discussion / Re: Do you touch-type or hunt-and-peck?

« Last post by app103 on September 20, 2009, 09:01 AM »

I am not a touch typist, nor am I  "hunt & peck", since the use of the word "hunt" would imply that I don"t know where the keys are, when that just isn't true.

I am primarily a one-handed typist, a righty, with the left hand only playing a minor role in my typing. I am probably the fastest 2-3 finger typist you have ever seen. 

I am not a touch typist (or a dancer) because if both hands are on the keyboard, things are going to get reversed because I have this issue where right becomes left and left becomes right unless I give it a lot of thought. (please don't ask me for directions on how to get somewhere unless you are willing to be patient while I think about it)

All that thinking about which is my left hand and which is my right, and which keys are by which hand just wastes time and slows me down. It doesn't matter how much practice, the issue isn't going to go away or become any better. All the practice in the world will not change how my brain is wired or cure the real problem. The fact will always remain that I am naturally a better one handed typist than two. I am also quite good with adding machines and cash registers, since they rely on one handed typing. While I might have failed typing class (more than once), I was at the top of my class in 10-key.

But I do have a question for all the touch typers with very long fingernails:

How do you do it without your nails getting in your way?

I am dead serious, since I just tried to rest my fingertips on the home row in the traditional way a touch typist would, and I couldn't. My nails wouldn't let my fingers near the keys!

Do you have any idea how many subscribers you would have to have and how much writing you would have to do to earn a living?

If all 208 of my RSS subscribers were to sign up for this to pay me a penny per post (highly unlikely), and I posted every day (also highly unlikely), I'd make about $759/year

I think only a small percentage (if any) would actually sign up for this, therefore, I'd need 1000's of readers and would have to write all day to scratch out a living that would still be below the poverty level in most parts of the US.

Just to cover the cost of the rent on my apartment (which is pretty cheap for where I live), I'd need 3140 regular readers willing to sign up for this AND I'd have to post every day.

But with my current readership, the small percentage of readers that might sign up for this would likely be 1 (or less), translating to $3.65 a year, at most (with a post a day), but with the way I post, more like $0.50/year.

Living Room / Diagrammr: Create and share diagrams by writing sentences

« Last post by app103 on September 19, 2009, 08:11 AM »

Diagrammr is an interesting web application that will allow you to make auto-generated diagrams by simply typing in sentences. The first word becomes a block, the last word another block, and they are connected in the direction in which they are written, with the middle of your sentence alongside the arrow.

Typing in the same block name again will create a new relationship with that object.

Every diagram has its own unique URL which can be shared. Whoever you share it with can edit it, adding and removing items. This makes it possible for a group to work on the same diagram together, or you can come back later and make edits, yourself. (make sure you save the image to your computer and share just the image, if you don't want anyone editing it.)

A few more articles about this:

http://www.seobook.c...oogle-make-it-happen

It seems this isn't intended for the little guys but in fact for big news outlets, like the New York Times, and such. This system is to help them make their content inaccessible unless you pay to read it, much like how you can't read the print editions unless you pay.

Even though the print editions are loaded with advertising, it has always been part of their business model to charge readers in addition to charging advertisers. Online that hasn't worked before but this proposal is supposed to be Google's idea on how to change that, since purchase of printed news has declined so much that it threatens the existence of these news companies.

It's not for use by Joe the Blogger to put a little extra cash in his pocket, or for the likes of the small developer trying to earn at least enough to keep his website online.

I have yet to see a Dell machine without a recovery partition (even when they come with discs - which I suppose they would have to supply for 2 different operating systems).

-Carol Haynes (September 18, 2009, 03:30 AM)

I am having a DC get together at my house in December, and you are invited. If you choose to accept the invitation, while you are here I'll show you 2 Dell machines that came without recovery partitions, and even more amazing...without a preinstalled crapware bundle. Both machines are Vostro 410's purchased in October 2008 through Dell Small Business, with XP preinstalled (I went for the downgrade option) and came with 4 disks: Vista, XP, drivers, and a separate disk for monitor drivers.

General Software Discussion / Re: dell laptop, vista won't activate

« Last post by app103 on September 17, 2009, 07:24 PM »

Chances are that if it came with a disk, it doesn't have a recovery partition. If the disk was made with the backup utility after purchase (which backs up the recovery partition to disks and can be used only once to make a single set of disks), then the recovery partition should still be there (unless the user removed it) Since you mentioned that you had to break the seal, we can rule out that the disks were made by you from a recovery partition.

Vista with downgrade to XP is only offered to Dell business customers not home user machines as far as I know, and there is no recovery partition that I am aware of, and they install XP and give you both XP and Vista installation disks. (at least that's how they did it with both of my Dells, and I had to go through Dell Small Business to buy machines with XP downgrade option)

There is 2 thoughts that I have had about this situation:

1. Did you try to install Vista over the XP to upgrade it or did you format and do a clean install? Your Vista disk could be an OEM for new installations only and not intended for upgrading, so if you tried to install it over the XP that might cause an issue and invalidate the install.

If this is not the situation, then maybe this is:

2. Have you tried washing the disk yet? Sometimes an optical drive is really sensitive to tiny amounts of foreign matter on a disk that you might not notice, such as the skin oils in a fingerprint. Just wiping with a soft dry cloth doesn't remove these oils, and it can still cause problems in some drives.

What you can do is wet it under running water (room temperature, not warm or cold) and then apply a single drop of a mild liquid dish washing detergent made for hand washing dishes (not the stuff that goes in a dishwasher machine! and not the stuff with hand lotion in it!). Then rinse it well, and dry it with the back of an old soft well worn T-shirt that has no printing on it.

Wait about 10 minutes and try doing a repair install or reinstall. (be really careful not to get any fingerprints on it).

I used to have a PC that one of the optical drives was so sensitive that I had to do this to ALL disks I used in it, or the drive just couldn't read them properly.

I would love to have a tool like this too (but not for Word).

I would also like to be able to have an option to insert a separator string, like so: " - "

So the end result when pasted would be

"This is my first text - My second text"

This might be a great feature to add to CHS, a hotkey to combine the last 2 (or more) copied strings together, with option to insert the separator string between them.

« Last post by app103 on September 16, 2009, 07:26 PM »

Some more problems with lists:

• Should you be thinking about Item 2 while doing Item 1, especially if they are unrelated? How do you keep from seeing Item 2 when you are looking at Item 1? What if Item 2 is something you don't want to do, and since you see it on the list you know it is next and it makes you not want to finish Item 1?
• Lists are up and down. They have a top, bottom, and middle. There is no left and right, four corners and center. You can only move an item up or down; add, edit, or remove; or move it to another list.
• Todo lists in particular... There is no room for thoughts, feelings, rhetorical questions...just tasks to do.

A sticky note is more flexible, more powerful,  and more complete...

• It can pop up by itself, so you only see Item 1. Since you don't see Item 2, you don't think about Item 2 while doing Item 1. Your thoughts and feelings about Item 2 will not interfere with Item 1.
• Memoboards have a top, bottom, left, right, center. There is room for notes containing your thoughts, feelings, other ideas, comments, etc. You can move items around with more flexibility, grouping is much easier, you can even stack items on top of another.
• Individual notes are like pieces of a puzzle, to be examined and fit into place. You can easily switch focus from an individual piece to the big picture. The master memoboard is your life.

It's just interesting to ask what is going through your mind whenever you accidentally fall back on to a list or are forced to use one ...or where do you draw the limits between a list and not a list (Notezilla being a sticky app being still a model close to what a list is especially when you use it in a certain way) ...or finally, how do you sort your projects if they aren't in an outline or a check list? ...and how do you adjust when you have to enter a task in mid-project?

This is not a list. While it can contain a list, it in itself is not one. Here is a screenshot that will answer most of your questions. It is from my older software that I was using before I started using Notezilla, because I haven't moved it all over yet.

Those are some really small baked potatoes. Not exactly what I had in mind. I was thinking more like this size:



I don't know too many people that would eat more than one of those.

And a bag of potato chips with only one chip? That would have to be a mighty big chip for me to be satisfied with just one. 

It took me awhile to figure out that the problem was the lists themselves and not me, so it took me this long to decide to throw them all out after moving the tasks to something better.

I have mentioned a few times before in other threads that following the methods of other people wasn't working and only lead to messing me up completely. The majority of the productivity systems seem to be so obsessed with the idea of lists...lots & lots of lists. And so many different types of lists and so many ways to organize your lists and tackle your lists.

There seems to be this idea among the "productivity gurus" that you can't be productive without everything being on some sort of list.

I spent too much of my time trying to figure out how to make these lists work, fighting against myself, trying to figure out how to "fix" myself so these lists would work. It's just not going to happen.

So now instead of fighting with myself, trying to "fix" myself, I am throwing away what doesn't work and adopting my own system that works with how I think. I don't expect my system to work for anyone else. That's not important to me. What's important is that it works for me.

So, no more lists unless I am going shopping or sending out invitations to a party.

There really isn't too much difference between my sticky notes and mouser's index cards, except that his cards sit there quietly waiting for him to read them and mine jump up in my face at the right time of day and demand to be read...or they start the task without me and wait for me to jump in and finish.

Anywhere and everywhere. I was never given a section on the forum for my apps so I just answer questions wherever they pop up.

As far as being to help with this issue, I don't think I can. Since I don't have a machine with any version of Linux I can't even begin to support it on that OS.

At some point in the future when I have a PC running some flavor of Linux, and I am past the whole "n00b" phase, I'll consider writing a version to run native on that OS with no need for WINE.

Until then, you are basically on your own.

The Getting Organized Experiment of 2009 / Re: My assignment: The ToDo List of Doom

« Last post by app103 on September 16, 2009, 12:17 AM »

ToDo List of Doom isn't going to be a plugin for anything. It's a metaphor for what I am battling and trying to kill. Any list of tasks is a ToDo List of Doom unless the tasks are meant to be completed all at once, one after the other.

Isolated tasks need to be kept isolated.

It has to do with how my brain processes lists. They fail unless I am meant to process the list all at once in a "single serving".

Another metaphor could be if you were to think of doing a task to be like eating potatoes.

Potato chips, you don't just eat one, you eat them by the handful (list).
Baked potatoes you don't eat a bunch at a time, you eat just one (isolated tasks)

So you wouldn't sit down to a whole platter of baked potatoes, with the intention of eating just one, any more than you would consider doing one task on a list of many large tasks meant to be completed over a longer period of time. (at least that's how it works for me) The thoughts of "holy crap! I have to eat all of that? forget it!" is what ends up going through my mind, either consciously or subconsciously, and I run from the table and don't eat anything (aka nothing gets done).

Makes more sense?

Yes, Notezilla can open files and web pages, either displaying the note or hiding the note. You can select any sound for a note or use the default (a cuckoo bird)

Unchecking the "show reminder" option will make it not display the popup. So for opening a web page, I put the url in the box and uncheck the top boxes so it doesn't pop up the message or make a sound.

« Last post by app103 on September 15, 2009, 11:33 PM »

Lists of any kind don't work, unless it is a list to be completed all at once (like a shopping list).

Anything that just sits there like a piece of paper will get ignored, I'll tune it out. It will cease to exist in my conscious mind till I notice it much later on...perhaps years later. There is nothing to remind me to read it, nevermind do what it says. It's like needing to put at the top of your todo list "read your todo list" (not too effective)

Sure. Popup Wisdom would probably work, partially, but the ability to schedule specific messages to pop up at the optimal times for them to get done is very important. I wouldn't want a message to remind me to buy something to pop up at 2am when the stores are all closed, and I wouldn't want something to remind me to add a feature to an application to pop up at 9 am when I am too tired to code.

Things that have deadlines I have set to start popping up about 4-7 days before it is due, that way I have that wiggle room to get it done (like paying my rent). I also set the deadline a day early, so by the time it really is due, it has a red overdue notice at the top that is likely to catch my attention and warn me I can't put it off any longer.

There are even things that I don't have popups for and I just automate the tasks with the notes, like remembering to check giveawayoftheday just opens the web page about 15 minutes after the new deal gets posted, without popping up a note about it.

I also like this method because I can keep the notes sorted on memoboards by type, and color code them, set priorities, temporarily post a single note supersized on my desktop, insert images, links to web pages or files on my hard drive, add other info needed to complete the task, attach notes to web pages or files that pop up when I open them, too.

And they can make noise! (something paper doesn't do)

And all contained in a single application (I switched to Notezilla), so I won't have to have a bunch of stuff running in the background all the time. Just the one application. I make jokes about having my whole brain stored in there but it's really less of a joke than it might seem to an outsider hearing me say it.

And I also have PesterMe for when I want to put some real pressure on myself and repeat a single message every x minutes. The obnoxious sound it makes still scares the crap out of me and makes my family yell at me.

« Last post by app103 on September 15, 2009, 07:15 PM »

I use my ToDo List application for building my grocery shopping list.

I initially added everything I needed to buy to the ToDo side and after everything was bought, moved it to the Done side. Next time I need to do shopping, I scroll down the Done side and move the items I need back to ToDo, add any new items that aren't in the lists yet, and print out the list (complete with little check boxes next to every item).

It would be nice if you could add something similar to your app, perhaps with a way to move things from the shopping list to the freezer and fridge, and adding them back to the shopping list when they run out or go bad.

Now that would be something great to sync with a web service.

The Getting Organized Experiment of 2009 / Re: My assignment: The ToDo List of Doom

« Last post by app103 on September 15, 2009, 07:27 AM »

I think my concept of "ToDo List of Doom" may have been lost during the course of this thread.

It's not a "do this or else" list. There is no punishment or reward involved with it.

What it is, is a list that once something goes on it, it's doomed to never getting done.

The reason why it never gets done is because I am really good at brain dumping into lists but not so good at getting it back into my head. Any list will fail, and any list which sits pinned to my desktop, covered with a bunch of windows, will never be noticed except when I reboot, which is about once every 2 weeks or longer. And it isn't the items on the list that I notice but the list itself. (like I said, lists fail)

What I need to do is find a way to take individual tasks and bring them into my conscious mind, by themselves, at the right time, until they get done. If I have a million things to do, they won't get done. If I have 1 thing to do, the odds are much better.

For example:

If I have an email in my inbox which is marked with a little yellow flag to catch my attention when I am checking my email, to remind me to add command line parameters to my AlphaSort application (I thought I did this already but I guess not), this will remind me of this task that needs to be done each time I check my email.

The problem is, I check my email in the morning and late afternoon/early evening, and by the time I finish, even if I was reminded by it when I saw the yellow flag, it's gone out of my mind again by the time I am finish going through my inbox.

Also, the best time for me to do any coding is at night, not the morning when I am tired or late afternoon/early evening when my husband will soon be home and becoming an annoying distraction (I can't code when he is home & awake, it's like trying to code while babysitting a bunch of 2 yr olds). This is another reason why the yellow flag doesn't work.

But again, the ultimate reason why it fails is because as quick as it enters my mind, it leaves again because it's in a list with other things.

Now, if I were to create a sticky note the next time I check my email and the yellow flag catches my attention, I would be taking it out of the list and isolating it so it stands by itself, not competing with other tasks for my attention (no list). In addition, if I set an alarm on this note and make it pop up in my face during my optimal coding time (after my husband goes to sleep), it will be more likely to get done. And if I take it an additional step and make that note also open my IDE when it is popping up in my face, it will be even more likely to get done, even if I am doing something else at the moment that it pops up.

So if I am doing something else, like replying to a post on the forum when it pops up, if I set the delay to bother me again tomorrow, dismiss the note, and then minimize the IDE, when I am finished doing whatever has my attention at that moment, the IDE will still be open and sitting on my taskbar, which still means there is a good chance I'll remember to do the task and be able to delete the note that is set to bug me again tomorrow if I don't.

Why the notes work for me is because they get in my face with a single task at the time that has the best chance of it being done, not a whole list of tasks in which a single task gets lost, or causes me to be mentally overwhelmed by a whole big list of things to do and making me not want to do anything, or popping up at the wrong time of day in which the task would be likely to not get done.

General Software Discussion / Re: Google getting into micropayments

« Last post by app103 on September 14, 2009, 04:35 PM »

There was no mention of any plans for this to be a microdonation service, just micropayments intended for purchasing online content.

The goal is for every website to hide their content and charge $0.10 each to read their articles & blog posts, or download their software, with Google taking a 30% cut. And at the same time, they will force adoption of their inferior Google Checkout service, which doesn't allow depositing funds from paypal, nor does it allow anyone to take their money out through paypal. (I understand Paypal is the competition, but if that is where my money currently is, you are not going to get any if you are going to be that stubborn and stupid about it)

I don't see this as a good thing because if I am supposed to force people to pay $0.10 to download my software in order to get money through this program, why would they ever want to donate more? And why would they even want to pay to download & try it when the next guy with a paypal button on his site doesn't charge anything to try his?

And why would I want to give Google 30%!

And let's imagine for a moment that this actually flies and has widespread adoption equal to Adsense...

Every forum post with a link to something cool, unusual, interesting, etc that is made on this forum will be one in which you'll have to pay to see it, when you get to their site. Your RSS feeds will be all reduced to partial content feeds in which you'll have to pay more to finish reading (not referring to this site but to all the feeds in your OPML). You may find yourself being frequently faced with paying for content and getting only a single additional sentence. You may even get to pay for your malware before you are infected.

And Google will get 30%!

You can't send or receive any email with it, so things like forums that require registration and send out confirmation emails are out of the question, as well as Wordpress blogs that allow readers to be notified by email of new comments to posts. (you can integrate GMail for Domains with it though)

Or, better, why doesn't this address book hook up with other address books of trusted peers and automatically correct and update?

Because that would be a privacy violation. You never harvest private info like that from users to give out to other users.

Plus, how do you know which user has correct info and if the info other users have is wrong or additional valid info? And even if you could know, how do you know if the person who owns that info wants his personal email address that he gave his mom to be distributed to all of his business contacts that he purposely didn't give it to? You really don't know and can't know it for sure unless the person owning the info submitted it himself. And that would require an online database and service similar to Plaxo^w. (of course that also requires everyone in his address book to be Plaxo members and to keep their info up to date, in order for it to work)

What font is that? If I knew what font it was, I might be able to recreate it in PSP vector format (I'd have to check to see if I have a teardrop like that) and you could use it with free version of PSPX.

_{Forget that idea. Offer was withdrawn and replaced with some trialpay offer for another product.}

I could quickly and easily convert an image to EPS, but there are a few possible issues:

1. I don't know if your .psd will open in my version of Paintshop Pro. (I have had troubles with stuff made in recent versions of Photoshop)
2. It would be in an older EPS format and have a white background.
