Needless to say the winning artist will also receive a mug or shirt with their design to show off to friends and family!

Perhaps the lesson was: Be determined and idiosyncratic and unreasonable in your pursuit of your dream, and embrace failure -- eventually the world will glitch out and you will slip behind the curtain of reality, behind the matrix -- and see things that normal people will never see, if only briefly.

Most of the NANY mugs have used the standard design.
In 2013 we did have this alternate done by a friend of Stephens:

But note that the new design doesn't have to look exactly like Cody as long as it captures his spirit.
I don't think anyone is ever going to capture him quite the way Nudone did.

FARR works fine in windows 10 -- there must be something else going wrong.
If you migrated your configuration from an old machine to a new machine it's possible this is the cause of the problem.
Try deleting your configuration file (or entire FARR installation directory) and then reinstalling or using the portable version.

Living Room / Re: Printer printing fuzzy

« Last post by mouser on September 10, 2017, 01:49 PM »

The most practical cure for a fuzzy ink jet printer these days is:

• Unplug the inkjet printer
• Place fingers under each side of the printer
• Lift printer about 3 inches off the table
• Rotate 180 degrees and carry the printer to the nearest trash can
• Release printer into trashcan
• Go online and order replacement printer

Inkjet printers are so cheap -- with the cost being mainly due to ink, that when an inkjet printer starts acting up, unless it is some serious pro-quality printer, your best bet is to buy a new printer and not waste ink on your old one.

Living Room / Re: Looking for alternative for wallet.

« Last post by mouser on September 10, 2017, 01:26 PM »

I've gone in the opposite direction.  After a lifetime of carrying a wallet and no cell phone, I have finally given in to reality and now carry a cell phone instead of a wallet.  I bought a cell phone case that can carry my id and a couple of credit cards, and use a money clip in another pocket for cash.

I miss having my wallet, but practicality demanded the change.

Is it possible to add an option to open the screenshot folder in the windows explorer?

You can use View->Launch External Screenshot Browser, but I will add a new option to just open folder in next version.

Is it possible to add an option to make a screenshot after x seconds after every click? - If making a screenshot on VNC, I need sometime to allow VNC to refresh the screen

I will look into it.

Is it possible to have the systray icon to change when it is taking a screenshot (so that I am sure a screenshot was taken)?

I will add such an option; you can also have it play a sound currently to help you confirm.

The option "Launch Internal screenshot browser" makes something funny in W7,64b - all window size of open apps go very slim and desktop icons get scrambled....

I have had a similar report -- I will fix it.  My stupid tool is trying to DOCK to the side of the screen.
