General Software Discussion / Re: Software to help you quit smoking?
« Last post by jgpaiva on April 26, 2006, 10:48 AM »
As i've never smoked too, I'm also curious about this matter. How can a software actually help someone who is addicted to something?
Does anyone know someone who was successful with it?

I see you made some interesting investigation. I'm glad, as I was myself also thinking what was the full story.

Maybe a matching donation is not quite right since their aren't many autoit users here.  Let's do this, when the fund reaches $100, then your donations will be made to autohotkey on behalf of the dc members.  then dc itself will donate half as much $50 to autoit in recognition of the work of the autoit developers.  I don't see how you can go wrong with that.
After reading your explantion, and the opinions of the users on this thread, my opinion is that is the best way to go. Although i'm not for the 50/50 donation, I can understand that autoit also deserves recognition. Good decision! :up:

Sorry about not mentioning how much I like the demo.  Sometimes it's easy to forget that important part. :-[
I didn't mean i needed a compliment ;), i was just trying to know if the times are right, if it needed more content, if it's well organized, etc. But thanks anyway  :D

About the expansion section, are you planning to add a demonstration of each of those features in this demo?  If not, can you explain that there is a third demo where people can learn how to use the additional features?
That section already is there (the link is functional), it's in the end of the demo, and it refers to other stuff that can be done, not featured in this demo. It's basically to inform you can costumize any of the featured alias, and add new functionality to it. (something like a small introduction to the next demo).

If you're looking for language corrections, or typos, here's one: 
Thanks! Corrected :)

Read only if you want the boring reason
Spoiler
After much effort, I have finally grasped that the only time you use an apostrophe with the word IT is when you are contracting the words "it is."  Never at other times, when you mean the possessive, like "hers," "his" or "its" book or program or features, etc.  I don't know who made up this rule, but there it is.

;D ;D

Maybe it is because I am not a member?
:( I have no idea... Maybe that's a question for mouser.

Do you think you could begin the demo a couple of steps earlier?  Something like this:

To get to the feature for creating groups, you first click on the little wheel (or whatever that is) in the upper right corner.  Then press "preferences."  Then choose the "groups" tab to arrive at the screen for creating and using search groups.
Good point! I'll slow down that first part!

Any suggestions for another text on the "To see the possibility of expansion of FARR, click here:" box? I think that text isn't very good.

BTW, did you like it? ;)

Here's the solution: ConnectionTester
It has an ini file, where you can set the test download interval,the page to download and if you want it to display a message when there is internet connection.

If there is internet connection, the tray icon looks like the one on left, and if there isn't, it looks like the one on the right:


Here's the compiled version: http://jgpaiva.dcmem...ConnectionTester.exe

it looks fake to me. but i've been wrong about these things before.
Yes, the first time i looked at it, it also looked fake to me. I still think it is.

@Hirudin: I'd say that depends on the price of the photographer. If he's more expensive than the graphics artist, the graphics artist is a better option!  :tellme:

aah, you got it all covered, jgpaiva. :Thmbsup: like carol, i'm all excited about the regex video...
next, you may want to design a nice homepage for yourself, showcasing all your ahk scripts & demo videos.
Yep, lets see how the 3rd demo comes out. On the meanwhile, the second is almost complete. If you'd like to give some coments, here's the close-to-complete version: http://jgpaiva.dcmem...s/Farr/FarrDemo2.htm

About the webpage, I know it's very needed, but i still have a bunch of stuff to solve before, so, the page is a bit delayed. It'll be my next big project, though ;)

muito obrigado, mate...

After all, i can do this in ahk (see this thread). Are you still looking for that internet access checker, rover?
3913
Ok, now i remember i couldn't quite do this, but got some solutions (i think).
(btw: if you just want to know if the internet access is on or off on ahk, you could use the URLDownloadToFile command, and check what was it's errorlevel. In case the page couldn't be downloaded, the errorlevel will be different from 0.)

Here's the other thread i mentioned: https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=2999.0
3914
I'm not sure, but i think this has already been done (not sure, but i think by me). Please check on coding snacks.

You have two opportunities to explain how to launch a program when there are several listed on the screen.  One is just before you launch url snooper, and the other is at the end, when you show that the past-used programs appear at the top of the list.  But you simply say "launch url snooper," without any explanation.
That's a very good point, momonam. I forgot it because i use it very rarelly (for me, it's faster to write the full name than to write a few letters, search for the result, and press the corresponding number).
I think i'll add it at the end, just before the last screen. Thanks for the suggestion!

how about a second one with 'advanced features' ?
-Carol Haynes (April 25, 2006, 06:40 AM)
It's being done, i already have the images for it, it's in "editing stage". But it'll only feature the default aliases (run, search, DCsearch, imdb, calculator). I think the 3rd one will have some explanation on how the options dialog works. As for regex and alias costumization, that might be a 4th one ;)

cool video, jgpaiva... :up:
just a mention on the spelling, beggining is spelt -> beginning. ;)
Thanks!
Ok, i've changed that. I also changed the links icons at the end. Could someone give me some feedback on this?

Here's a good thread for people to post their screenshots of opera: https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=2573.0
That said, opera is the best browser there is, no discussions about it. Although firefox does have some interesting extensions (which even made me try it for about 2 hours), opera is the ultimate browser machine (recognize the paralel? ;) )
I've used opera for years, and i wouldn't trade it for anything! :)

Best ScreenCaster / Re: Wink 2.0 in the Works
« Last post by jgpaiva on April 24, 2006, 05:59 PM »
This find is one of those that makes me love DC!
I made a small demo video of farr with wink, to see how it'd come out, and i'm astonished with the results!
Wink is even better than i thought, anyone looking for a good screencaster, definitelly should give wink a shot.
It's very easy to use it, and it produces great results.
Thanks for the reference!  :Thmbsup:

Welcome to the DCcomunity, JohnnyBee!
I trust you'll like it ;)

I'm looking forward now to getting to know more about the programming and software side of things.

Then, you should check the Programming school!!

I believe the problem here is that when you have the option "Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic" in your profile, you don't get notified of posts on a thread where you posted with "quick reply" and not with the normal "reply".

You're right. You have to upload the html page + link to it, else it'll look streched.
Yep,that's what i figured.

BTW: Disable wallpapers if you're doing screenvideos. They're just bloating up the filesize.
Good point. Will do in next version (which i'm working right now ;) )
