Okay, dialup doesn't give you a NAT'ed router, but as long as you have SP2 slipstreamed on your XP install CD, you have the windows firewall and that's actually good enough.There's also the Windows Updates Downloader project...-f0dder (January 02, 2008, 05:17 PM)
yes, but I'm on dial up, and I prefer to have my builds completed (ie patched, firewalled, AV installed) before I go online
it always seemed counter intuitive to do it the otherway round...

is it possible that the situation is more difficult than i thought, and that windows tries to shutdown programs SEQUENTIALLY, and so that if it tries to close the stuck program before it gets to yours, yours will never even be called?-mouser (January 02, 2008, 03:27 PM)
OK, here is one for all you oldies out there, Scorched Earth.That's a wonderful classic too! I also played one that was simply called "bomb", only ran 320x200 but had it's own appeal... haven't been able to find it since then

Disabling 8dot3 creation can be dangerous if you run any 16-bit applications... and chances are you might do, even if you think you don't; for some reason, 32bit versions of InstallShield kept using 16bit installers for a long, long time.... Oh, and disabling NTFS last-access (not last-modify) is also very nice.-f0dder (December 29, 2007, 10:40 AM)Thanks muchly for the tip. (I also ended up setting "NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation" to 1)

- dunno if does much difference performance wise, though.That color is something which can be changed with custom visual styles I think. For example here's a screenshot when using the NEXTLevel style.So you need to install a visual style to change a single element? Meh.-Eóin (January 01, 2008, 06:44 PM)
Notepad++ has text snippets support via plugins recently, although probably not as powerful as TextMate bundles, they do get the job done for me.I use Notepad++ too on Windows, but I would be lost without TextMate on OS X and I'd pay for it on Windows if it was available...-nontroppo (January 01, 2008, 06:08 AM)
Well, E Text Editor supports TextMate bundles, and the developers of both apps are in contact to further develop this feature. It's the closest thing in my opinion.
Guys, for screenshots of Multi-Edit use Google-Lashiec (January 01, 2008, 12:53 PM)
One thing that drives me crazy with application/software websites is a lack of screenshots. The website is difficult and confusing to navigate. I couldn't find any screenshots. If there aren't any, or they are hidden, why? I always a question an application that doesn't provide screenshots.Yeah, I feel the same nowadays... in a way I feel a bit ashamed about this, feel that it's a vanity thing... but the end result is that I'm not very likely to download & test something that doesn't have screenshots, even if it has a nice feature list.-Veign (January 01, 2008, 09:43 AM)
with all things considered, maybe it's time you started on that TheBat! plugin. it will save you a lot of agony and earn much heart-felt appreciation from the user community. even if the docs are atrocious, i think mouser is an avid user too, perhaps you can bounce ideas off him.Or Jibz, if he's not too much missing in action (I could always hop on my bicycle and find him, I know the general area he lives in-lanux128 (January 01, 2008, 07:34 AM)
), he's written the Piper plugin that's on the official TheBat pages...Ah yes, that is a cool GUI wrapper for snippet+project find+replace...And that is all it is-nontroppo (January 01, 2008, 08:29 AM)
hmm.. true enough, that sounds like more work.. but how about programs like this, would they cut the mustard?Perhaps - but it doesn't seem that any of them exports to MBOX format. Now, the XML export coudl probably be used and then I could write an XML->MBOX converter, but... ugh, probably easier to just scan the .TBB (mail base) files and ignore the .TBI (index) files

Not just that, no, if I understand it correctly: if you update a snippet, it'll update all the uses of that snippet, too.I've never seen anything like it ever. Innovative.-urlwolf (December 29, 2007, 10:06 AM)
Isn't that just a snippet functionality?-nontroppo (January 01, 2008, 06:08 AM)
