Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Skinny Paste

« Last post by skwire on September 19, 2010, 06:10 PM »

Here's an updated version that includes a modified tray menu that should work with either the .ahk or the .exe file.

SkinnyPaste

@msteph: I'm not sure what the issue could be on your system.  I downloaded Metapad and it seems to work fine here.  That being said, I did increase the clipboard wait period in this latest build.  Could you please clear your cache, redownload, and try again?  You'll know you have the newer version if the tray menu only shows two entries now.  Please let me know how it goes.  Thanks.

It sounds like you're running the executable. If you run the script itself and then right-click its icon in the task bar, you'll see the Reload option.

When I run the executable I don't see that option, either.

Yep, it has to do with running the executable.  I'm fixing it so give me just a minute.

hmm.. i can't help but think we can do better..
something a bit more mysterious and samurai-spirit inspiring might be nice.
something that stirs bystanders to envy, fear, apprehension, and awe.

Let me know if it's suitable for your purposes.

Do the files change often?  If not, you can do this easily via commandline FTP's built-in scripting (as MilesAhead mentioned).  There are MANY websites detailing this.  Here's one:

If you need something more custom written, let me know.

Have you given thought to simply emailing the site/station and see if they still offer those shows in an mp3 stream format?  Might be worth a shot.

This sort of utility wouldn't be that hard to write from scratch.  Let me know if you can't make something work with any of the existing clipboard managers.

Are there any downloaders that use less bandwidth or any way to dl using less bandwidth for the poor folks like myself that get throttled by their isp?

-complearning123 (August 19, 2010, 06:58 AM)

No, there isn't.  Regardless of how slow or how fast you download "something", that "something" takes up the same amount of bandwidth.

I just downloaded and installed DAP to take a look.  Under Tools, Options, Scheduler section, there is an option to "Shut down computer" after scheduled downloads are finished.

...and now I'm uninstalling it...good grief, what an invasive install.

I assume your download manager does not offer this functionality?  If not, which download manager are you using?

To the OP: You just described ClipX!

-sri (August 18, 2010, 03:03 AM)

Not really.  IMHO, the OP didn't want a clipboard manager; he wanted a quick-paste menu for some pre-determined pieces of text.  Not quite the same.

General Software Discussion / Re: Best audio player for streaming flv with HE-AAC?

« Last post by skwire on August 16, 2010, 12:35 PM »

That FLV stream URL is almost certainly for use in their embedded website Flash player.  The ShoutCast URL for that SKY.FM station is:

http://yp.shoutcast....ation.pls?id=1377511

The direct URL is:  http://72.26.204.28:5114

Either one of those should work in foobar, VLC or even my own Trout player.  However, regarding scrobbling within Trout, I specifically do NOT scrobble streaming music.
