I know exactly where he is.. he lives in the back seat of my car :)

He's probably itching to take another adventure if anyone wants to host him..

Well, I don't have much experience with junction points, though I understand they can be very useful in some cases.  But because CHS, FARR, and the rest of my apps offer a simple way to tell the program exactly where to store your data files (or run them completely portably), it seems like junction points are overkill.

The Last Kingdom on Netflix:
Screenshot - 8_26_2016 , 7_05_50 PM.png
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4179452/

The first episode is just ok, and the last couple get a bit silly, but the majority of it in the middle is really quite good.

From IMDB:
"The year is 872, and many of the separate kingdoms of what we now know as England have fallen to the invading Danes, leaving the great kingdom of Wessex standing alone and defiant under the command of King Alfred. Against this turbulent backdrop lives our hero, Uhtred. Born the son of a Saxon nobleman, he is captured by the Danes and raised as one of their own. Forced to choose between the country of his birth and the people of his upbringing, his loyalties are ever tested. What is he? Saxon or Dane? On a quest to reclaim his birthright, Uhtred must tread a dangerous path between both sides if he is to play his part in the birth of a new nation and, ultimately, recapture his ancestral lands.
The setting is a historical one of England roughly around 800-900 A.D. The conflict involves the vikings who are eager to take more ground and the native English peoples or more correctly the Saxons who desire to hold the ground they have and repel the Vikings from England. The main protagonist is a fictional character although his birth place and enemies who contest him; Ubba (Ubbe Lothbrok) and Guthrum are real figures."

I don't know if i would recommend junction points but you do remind me that if you want to run CHS portably you can do that, either downloading the portable zip version or editing the ConfigDir.ini to say it's portable rather than specifying a hard coded path.

Edit the file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Clipboard Help+Spell\ConfigDir.ini" and specify the custom directory where you wish all CHS settings and data to be stored (don't forget to remove the // at the start of the line).

My memory is that some antivirus tools can cause those problems when they block CHS from saving it's database.
One possible solution is to add an exception to ClipboardHelpAndSpell.exe to your security software.
Another might be to go to the Tweaks tab and change the "Temporary DB file location" setting and restart the program.

I hear your logic but my brain heuristics tell me it doesn't compute.  I could be wrong but my guess is you are underestimating costs and troubles of actually building this, and overestimating how expensive it would be to buy something reasonable used.  My advice, keep enjoying planning it and keep looking for a used one to buy.

I don't want to be the negative downer person, but I feel the need to add my 2 cents on one issue here.

There is immeasurable value and learning and satisfaction that comes from building something like this yourself.  But if there was ever a day where you could build something like this yourself for anywhere close to the cost and quality of buying an existing one, in my view those days are long gone.

If you do try to build something like this yourself, you should go into it assuming that it will cost you an insane amount of hours for the privilege of spending 2 or 3 times the price you would be able to buy an equivalent well maintained one used.

just my 2 cents -- not trying to dissuade you from the project just making sure you go into it eyes wide open.

i know from personal experience how satisfying it is to make your own piece of furniture, but also how wildly expensive it is these days to pay for that pleasure, both in time and money.

Living Room / Re: Guide to Living with Introverts
« Last post by mouser on August 20, 2016, 12:28 PM »
Let me add a piece that I think is missing from this picture of introversion.  Speaking for myself I have found that "unstructured" socialization can be extremely painful -- things like just sitting around at a dinner party talking to one another about random things.  Whereas structured social activities (board games) are quite fun.  I don't know if that's true for all introverts, so your mileage may vary.

Nice little cartoon guide to living with Introverts.
It uses an analogy I've seen before, describing extroverts as being recharged by social interaction vs introverts as having to spend energy to engage in social interactions -- which rings true to me (though I don't think it's the whole story).

Living Room / TV recommendation: Born This Way
« Last post by mouser on August 18, 2016, 06:02 PM »
I'd like to recommend a two-season reality tv show on A+E network called "Born This Way":

http://www.aetv.com/shows/born-this-way

It's a show that focuses on the lives and struggles and achievements of a group of young people with Down Syndrome, and their parents.

Quite uplifting while not sugar coating things.  Highly recommended.

Or it might assume the current directory- if so, you want to create a directory for the application, and put a shortcut on your desktop.

i believe this is the case.  So find another directory for the program to live.

What 4wd suggested sounds like the best advice to me.. Use SC along one dimension to make very tall (or wide) stitched screenshots of a "manageable" size, and then you can stitch several of these together if you truly need a ginormous single image.

As you surmised, SC will not be able to use 10gb of memory for the images, and will probably top out at 2-4 gb.

Have you considered whether you really want to stitch together all of these images into one giant 10gb image, or whether it might be preferable to just have a large number of appropriately named separate screen sized images?

Yep, do that already :)
Even when signatures and other items are not shown, moderators get emails when people change their profile or edit an old post and try to sneak in a link (which could otherwise be pretty effective way of inserting spam).  The emails include a score indicating how suspicious the edit/signature/profilechange is

Find And Run Robot / Re: Launch History
« Last post by mouser on August 15, 2016, 06:42 PM »
The location of the files on networked drives is the most likely cause of the problem.
Look for the option on "Search Behavior" tab for "Do not add network drive paths to launch history" and maybe "Remove missing items from history".  Try unchecking those and see if behavior changes.

Go to the options and find "Pattern Scoring" tab.  That lists all the scoring rules, with your newly added ones at the bottom.
When you choose to ignore an item in the future, it's done by adding a pattern scoring rule here with a large negative score.

I was wondering if the reason for the non-useful posts was to get past the threshold to post links in their sig?

i doubt they are thinking that cleverly, they are probably just posting to old threads in hopes of sticking their links/signature where people won't notice.  But we have a good community hear and such posts never survive a day without being reported :)
