25" monitor at 1920x1200... droool..........

though two 25" monitors running side by side at 1900x1200 each, now that would be heaven...

.. that could definitely be it...

seems like a very inefficient approach on the part of php..

i will still try to see if i can find a way to optimize it further for this scenario.

Backup Guide / Re: Information about Paragon Drive Backup

« Last post by mouser on April 17, 2005, 07:43 AM »

in light of my mistake i went back and had another look at paragon, and decided to move it up on par with Acronis and DriveImage in the review.  i think it still needs some polish, but i'm liking Paragon more and more; with some continued improvement Paragon could be the one to beat in the future.

Backup Guide / Re: Information about Paragon Drive Backup

« Last post by mouser on April 17, 2005, 07:19 AM »

i just went back and checked out paragon again - and it seems i was quite wrong about backing up the entire hard drive, in fact the gui works identically, its just a little hard to see that you can select the "enclosing" hard drive in order to back the whole thing up.  you can also select form the left hand tree as well.

i'm ammending the review to this effect and emphasizing the fact the i actually prefer this style of interface over the wizard interface of the others.  i think paragon may definitely be a contender for best drive imaging tool in the future.

Backup Guide / Re: Information about Paragon Drive Backup

thanks jeff, i will correct the review in terms of the backup of the entire hard disk; strange that you cant select it visually the way you can to backup individual partitions.

in terms of browsing archives - being able to mount and then search and view the contents of an image as if it was a normal hard drive is unbelievably useful when you actually have to find a file..  In this respect Acronis is just way beyond the competition.

Mouser's Zone / Re: Ideas i want to bounce off you guys

« Last post by mouser on April 17, 2005, 04:30 AM »

this is my main concern -
you people who are kind enough to donate to support this project are the most important people -
and i don't want to do anything that would make things annoying for you guys or discourage people like you.
thats why i'm already not feeling good about making the latest betas available to members only, seems like i'm just making it harder for you guys to download the latest releases, etc.  i have to find a less annoying solution.

I would definitely like to do multilingual versions, and i spent some time looking at software to aid multilingual design, its just not as high priority at the moment as fixing the lingering bugs..

but i haven't forgotten and i will definitely like to take you guys up on your offers to help.

thanks ann, tech guy looks great - added.
thanks zero-point, suggestafix also great - added.

z3k, filelight is one of best looking/organized shareware listing sites i've seen; i'll probably add it i just need to check out if it is up there with the rest in terms of quantity of listings since that is key.

DesktopCoral / Re: Usefullness

« Last post by mouser on April 17, 2005, 01:19 AM »

you actually can put shortcuts on top of the coral/corral.
but you have to set the opacity to 0 for it to not push them aside.
so basically you are gonna end up pushing them aside when you first dock it
but then you should be able to set opacity to 0 and then move the short cuts on top of it ever after.

at least thats the idea.

« Last post by mouser on April 17, 2005, 01:11 AM »

whats wrong with the main form?

perhaps you think something is supposed to be displayed on it
its totally blank, you just dock it.

i can fix the options form in a couple minutes; i'll upload it soon.

yeah its quite fun that people can't sneak anything by you when you use wsw.

i read a lot of political blogs and i love seeing little sneaky silent changes, like when someone adds or changes one sentence in a long article.

make sure you set your opacity to 0 if you want to hide shortcuts in that area.

ProcessTamer / Re: perl.exe

« Last post by mouser on April 16, 2005, 09:29 PM »

thanks ben, ok im going to look into this tonight.. hopefully i'll be able to figure out what is going on.

there is one case i can think of where cpu use of PT could rise above normal, and that is if a ton of processes are being created and destroyed in some short period of time.  i wonder if its possible that this could be happening.. if you look in processes list do you see new processes being born and dying over and over again in rapid succession?

im guessing that that's not it, and that it instead is a bug relating to processes that PT does is not handling right.

i think you said that some instances of php show up in normal windows task manager but not in Process Tamer process list, is that right? i'm guessing that could be a clue.
