^ +1 for OneNote from me. It's a remarkably well-designed piece of software. I was very surprised when I started to use it about 3 years ago. I still keep discovering undocumented features that are quite literally mind-blowing - "How the heck did they do that?" sort of thing.
Mind you, I also reckon that Word and Excel are pretty powerful tools - but we only typically tend to use 20% or so of their functionality.

Anytime you hear "ecosystem" - think "lock in".

I've been doing chromium snapshots since 16.x I think. Every now and then they shift the download page and I have to google until I hit the new one. I'm using chromium 23.x now.

-MilesAhead (August 30, 2012, 03:34 AM)

Yes, same here. I use Chromium rather than Chrome, because I don't really want/need the Google proprietary bits.
It is annoying when, apparently without announcement (?), they change to another download page. I don't know why they do that.
Maybe Google asked them to, to convert users to Google ß downloads (I get those too).

Internet Explorer is pretty fast.
But my favourite is still FF because of all the functionality and control (over the browsing behaviour) you can get by using those add-ons.

US Chamber Of Commerce Launches Ad Campaign For Son Of SOPA
from the of-course-they-are dept

Next to the MPAA, the main lobbying organization that pushed SOPA was the US Chamber of Commerce. The organization and its laughably inept "Global Intellectual Property Center" are infamous for the fact that they have absolutely no shame in using completely bogus numbers to argue for bad laws that their highest spending backers support. Not surprisingly, the USCoC did not take the loss over SOPA lightly, and it appears that they're gearing up for the next version of SOPA in 2013. As pointed out by Gautham Nagesh, the USCoC has kicked off a new ad campaign priming the pump for new legislation to "protect intellectual property."

Dotcom secures $6m for lawyers, living costs
(Copied below sans hyperlinks.)

By David Fisher
2:39 PM Wednesday Aug 29, 2012

Kim Dotcom. Photo / Steven McNicholl

Kim Dotcom has secured the use of $6 million from seized funds to pay for his lawyers and cover living costs.

A decision from the High Court at Auckland has cleared the way for Dotcom to pay current and future legal bills of $3.6m - a decision which has trumped efforts by the police to shut down the internet tycoon's access to seized funds.

The money comes from a $10m government bond which was seized by the government on behalf of the United States as part of its internet piracy case against Dotcom and those involved in his Megaupload filesharing company. The United States position is that all the money and assets of Dotcom were gained through criminal copyright violation by internet piracy.

The ruling from Justice Judith Potter has also allowed Dotcom to sell some of the cars which were seized during the January raid. Among the vehicles to be sold is his modified and much-loved Mercedes E500 and a 2008 Rolls Royce Coupe.

The money freed up by the high court covers $2.6 million in current legal fees, another $1 million of future costs and $1 million rent for the $30 million north Auckland mansion where he and his family live.

Dotcom and three colleagues from Megaupload are facing extradition to the United States on a range of charges stemming from the Megaupload case.

The case is set to be heard in March.

General Software Discussion / AHK scripts for VLC

« Last post by IainB on August 29, 2012, 05:30 AM »

Just came across these 2 nifty AHK scripts today and installed them.
One restores the old/proper VLC F11 (full screen) functionality, and gives you a "jump-to-time" function using Ctrl-t. I have used this and it seems to work OK.

The other apparently picks up URLs from the clipboard and puts them into the playlist. I am still trying to understand how this one works.

The author - @JSLover - points out that the scripts are being updated from time to time.

General Software Discussion / Re: General brainstorming for Note-taking software

« Last post by IainB on August 28, 2012, 01:41 AM »

More on the InfoSelect PIM:
As regards installing is8, is9 (called “2007“), and is10, you can install them either in the default directory or wherever else you might want them to go.

As with all my trial or old software, I deliberately install the software into a special directory of my own choosing and thus avoid installing the software into the Windows “Program Files” or “Program Files (x86)” directories - thus bypassing the need for extra system privileges that the OS puts on proggies using those directories. The only difficulty I recall was in ensuring I had the appropriate InfoSelect v5 (and later) English spelling and thesaurus files. I also have the IS database in a specially defined data area (for targetting of backups).

As a result of responding to the discussion thread Can we talk about Info Select?, I have reinstalled and tested is9 (called “2007“), and is10 (the latest version is v10.00.87).
I put them both into my trial directory, running concurrently with is8 (which was already installed).
I am currently putting is10 through its hoops, and so far it is looking quite good, though it kept crashing when I tried to install it with my old .wd2 is8 database files, so I figured out how to install it first and THEN convert the .wd2 files to .wd3 format. It’s a bit tedious that way, but as a workaround it seems to be OK.

I had not trialled this version of is10 before, and I must say it looks quite good! If it enables me to easily save my browser .html pages (I currently have these in a Scrapbook library), then I might consider using it for that, though it seems expensive so I am hoping I shall find more benefits than just that. Otherwise I will not be able to easily justify the outlay. I am already doing what data management/manipulation I want with OneNote and separate tools and FREE Firefox browser add-ons. At worst, is10 may not offer much extra, but at best, it could offer a degree of increased consolidation of functionality - which is always a good thing IMHO.

If anyone is interested, I would recommend they download is10 free of charge as a trial, and that will apparently give you 60 runs (that is what it states) before the trial licence expires. You should be able to get some idea of how useful it is from that.
WARNING: Though the is8 and is9 Help files were self-contained and very well-documented, there is apparently only an online Help facility for is10. I have tried using it and it unfortunately seems like rubbish. I presume that they are still writing a proper one! It badly needs one anyway - and especially for the price they are asking.

You can download the various versions of InfoSelect from here: http://www.miclog.com/download/index.htm

I have copied some notes that seemed relevant to this discussion, extracted from a discussion thread in another forum - outlinersoftware.com that I contributed to.
The discussion extracts:

• primarily cover aspects of InfoSelect v5 and v8 ("IS5 and IS8") and OneNote;
• make mention of ClipGuru-->NoteFrog; Outlook, and Jello;

Discussion: Can we talk about Info Select?

(Opening Post)
Posted by razorboy - Aug 25, 2012 at 06:40 AM

I have two concerns: the software, and the forum.  The forum - http://tech.groups.y...om/group/InfoSelect/ - was last posted to on 23 July, 2012.  Many discussions were about leaving for Evernote.  I applied/registered, as one must do so in order to be accepted by the list owner.  However, it has been several days, and I have heard nothing.  So: is there another Info Select group, preferably one with living members?

I had IS 3, a long time ago, and loved it. (I still have the disk.) I now need IS again for organizational purposes.  I will probably only need the basic features, with which to create, save, and organize, zillions of pieces of information and data.  IS 10 has bad reviews from users, so no thanks.  This brings question #2: what is the oldest version of IS which can be run on Windows 7 64-bit?  Officially, IS 2007 – which I take it is version 9 – can run on it, but “full functionality is not guaranteed.” OK, I’m sure I could live with that.  So, is there anything earlier which will run on that OS?

And finally, if there is any competing software which has a tree structure and search structure exactly (or nearly) the same as IS?  I know there are all kinds of organizers, outliners, and PIMs, but I don’t know them.  If IS’s tree and search features are duplicated by another software, I will take a look.  Otherwise, I will probably live with the oldest version of IS which will run on my laptop OS.

Thanks very much to anyone who can address any of my questions.

Posted by Slartibartfarst - Aug 26, 2012 at 01:58 PM

@razorboy: Just some hasty notes. Not sure whether this might help, but here it is in case there is something useful to you from my experience - some of which may be common with yours.
I was a Lotus Agenda user since 1990. I have been an InfoSelect user since 1997.
I still very occasionally use Agenda(!), and I regularly use InfoSelect 8, and the latter runs just fine on a Win 7-64 laptop (Home Premium).
I also subscribe to the Yahoo IS User Group you mention, and have noticed that it has started to look pretty moribund. The IS developer (who took over the Admin/Manager role for it) seemed to have a Cavalier approach and scant regard for users’ needs, and this has apparently upset some users, who were saying they were looking to emigrate to Evernote. I don’t know how many may have made the switch. I had already been investigating Evernote by then anyway.

A query in a discussion in that group, about IS5, led me to reinstall my old copy of IS5 as an experiment, to prove that it too works just fine on a Win 7-64 laptop (Home Premium). I reported on that to the User Group.

Though it feels like I have trialled (and still trial) almost every PIM out there, I have not yet come across any other hierarchical 2-pane PIM (Personal Information Manager) that is quite as well-designed, consistently stable and useful as IS8. It is very good at what it does. Later versions that I tried looked pretty hopeless by comparison, and I did not consider them worth the investment - so I have stayed with IS8.
I also use NoteFrog (and before that, its predecessor Clip Guru), and have been a ß tester for it. It is an excellent Clipboard Information Manager, but it is not designed to be a PIM like IS8. It is NOT hierarchical, by the way.

A couple of years back, I started to use and compare Evernote and Microsoft OneNote. I have since settled for OneNote, since the OneNote database allows me to store ALL my data - including image data with any text in it, and the spoken/sung audio data (Yes!) - and index/search through it all (OCR for the image data), with the database being on a local hard drive. This all suits my peculiar needs, though it might not suit other peoples’ needs.

Incidentally, for a while now, I have been trialling Jello - which Integrates with Outlook, which integrates with OneNote. The possibilities seem endless, but I am just exploring.

Posted by Slartibartfarst - Aug 26, 2012 at 11:51 PM

@razorboy:

1. So, you tried IS 9 (2007) and 10, and found them inferior to IS 8?  IS 10 has really bad user reviews, I see.

Yes, I couldn’t see that IS9 was necessarily any better than IS8 - at least, not from my perspective. I don’t have any notes written up about it, but I recall that I thought IS9 seemed a bit of a regressive step. I very briefly played about with an earlier prototype version (I think it was) of IS10, when the IS/Yahoo forum was active (but again, no notes, sorry, though I did put my thoughts into the forum thread and you presumably can still read that material).
I couldn’t see the need for half the changes that were made/proposed for IS10, a good many of which seemed to be removal of previously otherwise stable functionality. Then there was the introduction of the feature of the “ribbon” interface.

The developer (and the forum users/members) seemed to be fixated on features (e.g., “ribbon” interface) rather than whether the functionality met their needs. Neglecting NEEDS is usually a classic error in software design/development, so if IS10 got any bad reviews (and it definitely did), then it’s arguably because of that rather than that IS10 is a “bad product” per se.
The needs never were defined (to my knowledge) and the classic step of prioritising them into A, B, C (A=mandatory, B=highly desirable, C= nice-to-have) seemed to have been omitted throughout. The whole exercise thus seemed appallingly confused and almost purposeless, and it was apparently being driven this way by the developer (go figure). Sadly, in restrospect, it seemed to have been an exercise in missed opportunity to improve the design in line with users’ needs.

I don’t think the IS10 developer produces “bad product” per se - at least, not from my experience. Even an egregiously bad design can be made operational, but that won’t necessarily make the design any better - e.g., the Maginot Line.
______________________________

2. …led me to reinstall my old copy of IS5 as an experiment, to prove that it too works just fine on a Win 7-64 laptop (Home Premium).~~~~ How did you do that?  Did the installer do its job, or did you have to resort to hackery?

It was no problem at all - piece of cake. As with all my trial or old software, I deliberately install the software into a special directory of my own choosing and thus avoid installing the software into the Windows “Program Files” or “Program Files (x86)” directories - thus bypassing the need for extra system privileges that the OS puts on proggies using those directories. The only difficulty I recall was in ensuring I had the appropriate InfoSelect v5 (and later) English spelling and thesaurus files. I also have the IS database in a specially defined data area (for targetting of backups).
______________________________

3. Do IS 9 and 10 not save audio (note) files?  Does Evernote?

I don’t know of any other PIM that handles words spoken/sung in audio files as text data AND that handles text embedded in images as text data. Furthermore, the smooth and uncluttered way in which OneNote does this is amazing. I only discovered a few days ago that if you put an mp3 song in OneNote, and paste the text of the lyrics below it, then when you play the mp3 in OneNote, it automatically tries to step down through and highlight the lines of the lyrics as they are being sung. That’s pretty smart. Of course, being able to search through the words in an audio file when you have no transcript is also pretty damn smart, and arguably just what you’d need in a note-taking PIM tool.
I think that in this regard OneNote leaves Evernote in the dust. Evernote would not be so far behind OneNote if they hadn’t crippled their client application so that you couldn’t have an OCR store of your text images - you are locked-in to being dependent on the cloud-based store for this. I detest such archaic business models that use lock-in in any shape or form.
______________________________

4. I confess that I don’t know what It is meant by “hierarchical” in the context of describing these softwares. Please explain. (..blush..)

A flexible hierarchical categorisation tree is an immensely powerful tool for organising information into categories and for marshalling and communicating your thoughts on a complex subject - e.g., in writing a book or a report in sections and subsections, on a particular subject.

For IS8, imagine a diagram of a structured set of categories and sub-categories - e.g., an organisational hierarchy diagram - then turn it on its side, and what you have is a linear view of that in the LH pane of IS8 (the categories can be anything you want, and there is a way of mapping unstructured cross-categories too, which can be rather handy). The RH pane contains the relevant content material for each point in the hierarchy.

EXAMPLE:
   1.0 Parent (e.g. CEO)
    1.1 Child of the above parent. (e.g., Vice President #1)
    1.2 Child that is a parent (e.g., Vice President #2)
      1.2.1 Child of 1.2 (e.g., 1st Deputy Vice President to #2)
      1.2.2 Child of 1.2 (e.g., 2nd Deputy Vice President to #2)
         1.2.2.1 Child of 1.2.2
   2.0 Another parent - etc.

General Software Discussion / Re: Images unexplainably changed

« Last post by IainB on August 26, 2012, 07:29 PM »

Check your video display settings.
When this happened to me, it was because I had put everything onto a new laptop, and then, noticing that the very nice display screen was too bright for my eyes, started frigging with the video display controls. This included the brightness, contrast, colour and gamma settings. I got the display to a state that seemed to suit my eyes/perception, and then noticed that images I had in my Picasa database and that I had previously tuned to perfection on my old laptop+display did not look quite right now on the new and adjusted display! (Not surprising really when I thought about it.)

RULE:
What you see on your display is what you perceive from the display after the computer graphics have translated the image for you according to video display settings. If the display or its settings have been changed somehow, then the same images that appeared fine before may well look different/odd now.

I reconciled the variability in my case with the fact that any published images had been adjusted in good faith and that it was too tedious to go back and readjust everything.
Belts and braces recommended: I could always go back to the originals in Picasa if I wanted, as I rarely delete or overwrite important image originals.

There is a DVD Region tab on the properties dialog of the drive I have here at the office that says I can use it to change the region 4 times (I'd always thought it was only 2). So assuming that it won't just let me set it to R0 ... Is there a country I can select that would be the equivalent of R0?

-Stoic Joker (August 24, 2012, 06:52 AM)

The number of Region changes that are left is shown in the DISC Info details in the screenshot above. It's up to 4 max, I gather.
It gets locked on the last one you use. I recall reading somewhere that you can't RPC1 Flash the drive once you have used up the last change.
As far as I am aware, there is no Region provided that you can select that is equivalent to R0.

-40hz (August 23, 2012, 06:39 PM)

I've no idea about the USA, but no, clearly they are/were still churning out RPC2 locked DVD drives in new laptops - mine being an example (well, I have had it for about 18 months now).

My Plextor is region free and it's no where near that old.

@IainB - What DiskInfo utility are you using in the above screen shots?

-Stoic Joker (August 23, 2012, 06:50 PM)

Some manufacturer brands of DVD drives - like your Plextor - are often/usually issued RPC1, but it seems that the **AA still have a stranglehold contract (Copyright) on some of the manufacturers - e.g., presumably such as Matshita, which is a major OEM producer. Toshiba brand DVD drives were made notoriously difficult to unlock, though I gather that Toshiba does not produce their brand now. There is some good info re this at http://discinfo.rpc1.org/

...Wouldn't the drop in read/write speed be cause for concern?

-Stoic Joker (August 23, 2012, 11:12 AM)

Well, yes, I think it could be an issue if (say) you wanted to write to some or several CD-ROMs or DVDs, because the write speed would presumably be artificially slowed by the flash - reduced to 1/3 the speed of its designed potential speed. However, I have so far only once used this laptop's DVD writer, and that was to create a backup/recovery disc as an experiment as much as anything else. I rarely, if ever, have any use/patience for writing to CD-ROMs or DVDs. The reduced read speed in this case doesn't appear to affect the experience of viewing a DVD anyway - I have already checked that. Nor does it seem to affect the typical elapsed time for running DVD Shrink on a disk - I already tested that too. So maybe it's not really been slowed down in fact. (I don't know.)

However, it did quite surprise me that the spec Read/Write speed had been so reduced by the Flash - and that's why I pointed it out in the screenshot - but, as I wrote:

(Can reflash with the backup configuration, if I want to restore the original DVD drive configuration.)

I have flashed a few DVD drives to RPC1, over the years, but have never yet wanted/needed to restore their original settings, though, having said that, I suppose there's always going to be a first time! I might try it as an experiment.

Incidentally, there is a buying check for the wise in this: Before purchasing a computer, do some research and check whether it has a Region-free (RPC1) or flashable model of DVD drive. It can sometimes be a real nuisance to later discover that you can't unlock a DVD drive in your new computer. You may end up having to buy a separate, additional drive - one that is a Region-free (RPC1) or flashable model of DVD drive.

General Software Discussion / Steps to Flash the HP ENVY 14 laptop's Matshita DVD RAM - to make it Region-free

« Last post by IainB on August 23, 2012, 06:39 AM »

I thought I might describe the process here in case anyone found they had a similar requirement.
I have an HP ENVY 14 (Beats) laptop, which has a Matshita DVD RAM drive.
It is Region-locked, and I wanted to "Flash" the drive to make it Region-free, so as to be able to play DVDs from any region.
I was in luck, as the Matshita drives are usually most likely to be amenable to being Flashed.

STEP 1: Check DVD status with DISK Info:
           Done using DISK Info v1.7.0ß, available from discinfo.rpc1.org - here.
            

STEP 2: Go to The Firmware Page Forum: (link given in DISC Info: http://forum.rpc1.org/
           Searched for UJ897. Found discussion:
           Making your Matshita DVD-writer region free running Windows
                http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=46246&hilit=UJ897
           Posts in the thread detail what to do.

STEP 3: Essentially, the install/run steps here are:
3.1 download and install:

• MatshitaWinDump_1.02.zip - has added support for Matshita drives having an hp drive id.
• MatshitaWinFlash.zip
  
  

3.2 run the MatshitaWinDump.bat file to generate files:
      hp______DVD_RAM_UJ897___1.00.dat - backup of the existing configuration.
      hp______DVD_RAM_UJ897___1.00_RPC1.dat - the configuration to Flash with.
      

3.3 Drop the ...RPC1.dat file onto MatshitaWinFlash.bat
     (The Flash operation takes less than approx. 30 seconds.)
      

3.4 Run Disk Info again to see the result:
      (Can reflash with the backup configuration, if I want to restore the original DVD drive configuration.)
      RPC1 indicates that the drive is now Region-free.
      

Great - all OK. I can now play that Region 2 DVD I was given..
