Living Room / Re: Buying a new printer

« Last post by mouser on November 06, 2005, 05:36 PM »

i might have to agree with your dad here.

i love my color inkjet, but no matter how fast or good they get, i would NOT want to use one to print out papers.

so if you're going to be writing a lot or printing out academic papers, etc. - i'd recommend a laser printer.

Just a little blurb,

Local Website Archiver (made by same person that made Website Watcher) has a free version, and a pro version which you can currently get 50% off of through our discounts (and it integrates well into Website Watcher).

Maybe someone wants to mail NetSnippets and see if they want to match the 50% discount?

Living Room / Re: supporters yearbook

« Last post by mouser on November 06, 2005, 03:39 PM »

i've just been playing with the new google referral buttons and i put that where the supporters yearbook link used to be in newsbox.

if you have ads turned off, you should see the "Show Supporters yearbook" link like normal.
i've just changed it now so that even if you have ads on you'll still see the supporters yearbook link there 50% of the time.  but perhaps it would be better to have it somewhere on the forum pages where it was always visible..

i also added blurbs about the supporters yearbook on left hand side of quotes, startpage, and fundraiser pages.

i do want to integrate the wiki and bug tracking logins - but i'm afraid to start on that until i have done a round of updating the programs, so it is on hold for now.  after a month of site scripting the programs are calling for updates.

its an interesting idea to put forum buttons on all pages.. it does make a lot of sense for some of those buttons at least..
let me think about that.

I've updated the forum button bar to have a button for "TRACK BUGS" now
and the bug tracker will now also let you login anonymously so its even easier to submit bugs.

Please submit bugs and FEATURE REQUESTS to this when possible; if you are one of the "power users" here and you see someone post a bug report or feature requests that's not on the tracker, please post it to the tracker.

Its 100x more motivating to fix bugs and features entered in the tracker, so i definitely encourage you to submit bugs and requests there, where I will give them high priority.

let me be clear -
i really don't have a problem - it works perfect and fast for me - as long as i change the default settings to 1 and 1 (other settings may work fine too).

i was just pointing out that the default settings cause that 5 second delay.  as soon as i change them it works perfect.

let me add that i think this might be one of the more useful little utils requested.

nice work both jazper and skrommel.

hitting ctrl+f5 multiple times is much better now, can run it several times in a row.
reload settings works great.

i have my settings at:
keydelay=1
windelay=1

maybe thats too fast for some computers but one thing, at the default settings of
;keydelay=10       ;ms to wait after sending a keypress
;windelay=100      ;ms to wait after activating a window

it takes a full 5 seconds after i push ctrl+f5 before playback actually starts - can that possibly be the way it is meant to operate by default?

an html table would work though i dont mind it at all the way it is now.

i use frontpage, but because of the php used for the ads and stuff its messed things up and so yeah you kind of have to upload to view it; installing apache with php locally could aid that.  ill see if i cant find a solution.

really really nice.

couple of tweaks to consider -

the "playback finished" text that is shown after activating - am i write that the display of this is why we can't activate the ctrl+f5 multiple times in a row without waiting till text dissapears? if so, i suggest just getting rid of that message.

i found the default wait times were long.. i changed them and then had to exit and restart to take effect (maybe add a comment in settings file to remind user they need to exit and restart to have changes take effect?

first, that is beautiful.
second, yeah i thought of imagemagick -
however my problem in this case is that i've got potentially several lines of text, maybe 1 maybe 10, of varying length, and the key is i need it scaled to fit a specific size.
i suppose one way would be to make a HUGE image, using a pointsize like 72, and then scale the image itself to fit desired size, though my original intention was to figure out font size that would fit.
