I'm at Lesson 5 so far, and I'm glad that you didn't rush into the topic, even though a lot of it I knew. More of a comparison to other static generators would have been a nice thing... I'm liking hugo better than jekyll already!I prefer to use [the product I am affiliated with]

Licensing implies something different to me than price, however...-wraith808 (January 19, 2015, 09:30 AM)
Fair 'nuff. But would you care to elaborate?-40hz (January 19, 2015, 08:31 PM)
^^ Amusing, but probably unlikely. Those men are all pulling a wry face and appear to be looking down - presumably at where their respective brains are located. The dog, on the other hand, is not looking down or anywhere except at the camera, and anyway looks more like a puppy and would not be mature enough to mate at that age. He is probably merely pulling a wry face because someone photoshopped him or something tastes funny in his mouth. Maybe he has just eaten the household budgerigar and is wondering what to do with the feathers. You'd probably have to prise open his jaws to be sure.-IainB (January 19, 2015, 09:09 AM)
Way to take the funny right out of a joke. I thought this was the silly humor thread, not the true stuff thread. Please excuse me if I posted it in the wrong place.-app103 (January 19, 2015, 09:34 AM)
because of the licensing?-wraith808 (January 19, 2015, 07:54 AM)
Yeah. I had a client that used it. The license used to go (still does?) for several thousand IIRC.-40hz (January 19, 2015, 08:06 AM)
I'm interested in how you use markdown, if you don't mind.RightNote has had a 3.0 for awhile.I use it. It's ok, gets the job done. I thought I would love that feature as a way to keep notes synced or some idea like that. but in the end, I just don't use it much. I do it once or twice a year when I need to search through evernote for a lost clip or something. I think my problem is that it becomes this thought, "Do I put this note in rightnote? or evernote?" or I'm on my phone and don't have rightnote, so i stick it in evernote to later sync with rightnote, sheesh. So i just don't care after a while.
I think one big thing is Evernote integration.

My point is, I don't consider the evernote functionality a big deal. It wouldn't even factor in my decision to use Rightnote or not.-superboyac (January 15, 2015, 10:07 AM)
I tried it. It's a bit... clunky, but gets the job done. The clunkiness is a function of the limiters on the Evernote interface, rather than on Rightnote.
In all honesty, however, since I can write in Markdown in Evernote now, I've dropped using Rightnote for all intents and purposes.-wraith808 (January 15, 2015, 10:15 AM)-superboyac (January 17, 2015, 06:26 PM)

Not really. AutoHotkey is single-threaded.-skwire (January 13, 2015, 09:29 PM)
@4wd - BTW, you spelled "Godvernment" wrong there.-Renegade (January 14, 2015, 04:18 AM)
I liked "godverment" more.
Especially now that so many are acting like divinely ordained beings, with godlike indifference towards their charters, rather than as legally constituted and defined bodies whose function was to serve those who created them.

So I came over here and found 1.1.5.163 and that seems to unzip all the data but epCheck does enter into (Not Responding) a half a dozen times or so.-dallas7 (January 13, 2015, 05:06 PM)
The problem is two-fold:
- I use the 7-zip application to handle the unzipping so while it's actually unzipping a file, epCheck can't do anything but wait. However, most of the zips are pretty small so the waits here shouldn't affect things much.
- The bigger issue at hand is that the TVDB.com site has been really slow lately. Most of the Not Responding is epCheck simply waiting for the zip downloads to finish.
It's rather frustrating as there isn't a whole lot that I can do about it. Sadly, the best advice I can give is to simply leave epCheck alone while it's doing the updates.-skwire (January 13, 2015, 06:28 PM)
The title of this post is exactly what freeware authors fear -- that our software will get a bad reputation because of some bad sites.
The lesson is not to beware freeware -- it's to beware these third party download sites.-mouser (January 12, 2015, 11:00 AM)
This is not what the linked article is about. The author clears that up in the comments section:
It doesn't matter what download site you use. The people that make the freeware are the ones bundling things.
Yes, some download sites make it worse by bundling on top of the bundling. (Lowell Heddings, January 11, 2015)-def (January 13, 2015, 11:45 AM)

ALWAYS go to the source, the author of the software, to find the download. NEVER trust a third party source unless it is directly linked from the author's web page.-mouser (January 12, 2015, 11:00 AM)
