Post New Requests Here / Re: commandline datestamp favorites
« Last post by mouser on March 25, 2006, 11:34 AM »
absolutely brilliant.
works perfect, both add and remove!

and its VERY useful.  suddenly i can find the favorites i added because i know when i added them!

i have one request i had not thought of ahead of time:
the "Links" subdirectory of Favorites has a special meaning for IE engines - its used for the toolbar.

May I request that the Links subdirectory never be processed for ADDING (though you might as well process it for REMOVING, just in case).

And while i am requesting things, how about we add a way to make AddUrlTimestamp ignore a url file:
i propose a + as first character of filename be treated as an "ignore" flag, so AddUrlTimestamp should never add timestamps to urls that start with +.

this script is a real keeper for me, extremely useful.

yeah i don't mind at all the initial asking for directory;
there is a registry key that will tell you it, but who cares if it's only asking for it once and if you were going to have to make user confirm it anyway.

http://browsershots.org

this is a very elegantly done service that lets you give it a website and it queues up the taking of screenshots of your site as rendered in different browsers.  you come back later and check out how a page renders differently.

Living Room / Security News: Realplayer patch released on March 24, 2006
« Last post by mouser on March 25, 2006, 08:31 AM »
http://news.com.com/...3912.html?tag=cd.top

RealNetworks has warned of four flaws in its media player software, three of which pose a severe security risk.
The Seattle-based digital media company released patches on Thursday to fix the problems. The bugs affect older versions of its flagship RealPlayer as well as of Rhapsody, Helix Player and RealOne Player. They aren't found in the most recent versions of RealPlayer and Rhapsody, according to a company advisory. The flaws are found in RealNetworks' software for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux systems.

The vulnerabilities have been rated "highly critical" in an advisory from Secunia. The Danish security company said that one flaw in processing SWF files, used to play Flash media, could also be used to commandeer a computer. Another bug, in the processing of MBC files used for Mimio BoardCast audio sessions, could also ultimately allow a break-in on a machine.

While no cases of actual compromised computers have surfaced, RealNetworks strongly recommends people upgrade to the most current version of its media software. A detailed list of vulnerable versions and the free upgrades can be found on its posted alert.

Post New Requests Here / DONE: Datestamp internet explorer favorites to ease locating
« Last post by mouser on March 25, 2006, 08:16 AM »
i get lost in my ie bookmarks - it would really be nice to have a commandline tool that recursively went through favorites directory and prefixed all url bookmark filenames with the file date in sortable form (ie 'YYMMDD_HHMM').

note you have to be really carefull about any such recursive auto renaming - if you mess up and rename all the files on the hard disk it would be hell.  but restricting it to .url files would go along way.

would be nice to have an option to also REMOVE such prefixes, so it could be used as a toggle.

and would be nice if it auto-located the ie favorites folder location, so that out of the box you could just run it to add prefix or remove prefix, without any configuration (thought you might want to have it confirm favorites folder location on first run).

oh yeah, big important thing - it should be smart enough to detect its own datestamp so that it doesnt add it again when run on files that already have it (youll need to be able to identify it anyway if you are going to provide a "remove" toggle feature).


anyway i would add this command as a link on my browser toolbar so i could re-run it periodically.

The Getting Organized Experiment of 2006 / how to have a more efficient day
« Last post by mouser on March 25, 2006, 07:46 AM »
http://jon.zaadz.com...o_have_a_36_hour_day

While we can never have more than 24 hours of chronological time I think it's very possible to have many more hours of functional time.  In fact, I think it's probably possible to get up to 36 hours of functional time in your day if you do a few relatiively simple things.  So without further ado, here is my prescription for the 36 hour day. 

It's a list of ways to save time that you may or may not have thought of.  Implement a few of them and you'll likely open up a couple of hours each day that you didn't previously have . Implement all of of them and you just might find yourself with too much time on your hands.  File that under “Good Problem to Have” right? :)

So here are 10 ways that you can radically change your life and free up the time you didn't know that you could.

i enjoyed this one - sort of realtime but more permissive and can always restart a level until you complete it.

kae, sorry for the delay in responding -
i think this is a great idea, i hope to make it easier to share aliases soon - it's definitely something that should be added to farr v2.

let's use this thread for anyone that might have aliases to post, and then i can try to collect them and make them available for easier download and import.

Official Announcements / More Planned Server Downtime this Weekend
« Last post by mouser on March 24, 2006, 09:14 AM »
we have more work to do upgrading the server -
while these things take only minutes in the best case, we've all seen that more often than not they end up taking hours.

please anticipate some more downtime in the coming days as we tune and tweak the server to get optimal performance.

thank you for your patience!  :Thmbsup:

Just a heads up, I've moved my Great Software blog to blogdrive over blogger and being self-hosted. I tried WordPress, but for what I wanted it to do, it would have cost me money to host it properly, so I gave in.

i'm not sure exactly the issues but donationcoder would be very happy to give you any webspace and bandwidth you would want and set up any software you want for blogging.
