Sorry, it's an English cricketing metaphor/term.I suggest you don't confuse non-cricketing nations further by explaining how to bowl a maiden over-IainB (June 10, 2013, 09:18 PM)
Iain Banks was apparently only 59 years old when he died - well below the typical "three score and ten"There've been news bulletins about a Web site that reports life expectancy in different parts of Britain. They apparently used an average span of 75.-IainB (June 10, 2013, 09:18 PM)
I read a few of his, including Walking On Glass. He seemed to specialise in odd, unsettling novels, but in some cases, they stick in your mind. In the case of that one, the "matrioshka doll" creatures.I don't recall reading anything by Iain Banks. He didn't have a very long innings, did he?(Actually, Walking On Glass was sort of sf too, but I might be the only person in the world who liked it -- it's often forgotten.)-IainB (June 10, 2013, 05:16 AM)-oblivion (June 10, 2013, 09:45 AM)

Please note – NoteWindow is designed to accommodate a mobile, platform independent, browser-based, touch interface. It is not a windows (or any platform specific), desktop program. (and, a black background helps to conserve battery life on portable devices.)which gives the reason for some of its appearance.

NoteWindow Free Personal Information Manager
Posted by berry – May 22, 2013
The NoteFrog mobile stack capability, mentioned in an earlier post NoteFrog goes mobile is now available as a Free Browser based, Personal Information Manager, similar to NoteFrog. It is available here.
Let us know your impressions.
Simple research? THAT's the gold mine we all take for granted! Print a quick map of new places, check the service hours, menus, shopping, etc etc etc, save *weeks* of your life in twelve days.Up to a point. Now we're in a world where everybody and his dog has to have a Web site. It seems to be easy enough to get one set up (I assume; I've never tried it myself) But then there's a big problem - maintenance. Smaller businesses just don't have the resources to put their every change immediately on their Web site. I know a garden centre like that, where their Web site doesn't lead anywhere, their e-mail doesn't work. It's no more than an electronic poster stuck on a virtual wall. One of the local photography clubs has a dire Web site because nobody's got the know-how or the time to make it any better. In other words, the Internet favours bigger and better-resourced operations over the small ones, even though small ones are often excellent.-TaoPhoenix (May 02, 2013, 03:22 PM)
PromptPal Version 2 Now Available!
05 April 2013 02:32 PM
PromptPal Version 2.0
PromptPal - our popular command line replacement for administrators and power users - has finally been given a major update. There are many changes in v2, but here are the highlights:
Totally rewritten internally to put you closer to the underlying command shell. Commands that formerly required special treatment in PromptPal v1 just work normally in v2, e.g. More, Telnet, NSLOOKUP etc.
Support for Windows PowerShell and other shells of your choosing.
Integrated support for "Run as different user", which can even be combined with "Run as Administrator"
Optional initial command for all new tabs
Toolbar control over command completion options (simple on/off toggles)
Command history is separate after tab creation.
Pass-thru for CTRL+D and any other key combos not mapped to a menu item.
Windows 8 compatibility improved
If you make a lot of use of the command line or find it a daunting but necessary evil, then give the new version a try. You'll be surprised how much time and effort it will save you!
Existing PromptPal customers who bought on or after 1st June 2012 have already been sent out free upgrade licenses for version 2. Those who bought version 1 prior to that date can upgrade at a 50% discount. Emails about this will be sent out on Monday 8th April 2013, but if you'd like upgrade earlier or have any questions, please either submit a ticket or email us here: mailto: [email protected]
Just again for discussion, how many images do you have? I'm close to hosting them myself.Only a handful - I think I ended up with four. My immediate problem is solved as it turns out that only one's first contact with eBay's customer service has to be made through their Web site. Replies are sent to your ordinary e-mail, and of course it was easy to attach the images to my reply to that. Would you believe that eBay UK(?) customer service "don't have the option to open the links you provided?" Security gone mad, I suppose. So for my current task, external image hosting turned out to be unusable anyway!-TaoPhoenix (April 17, 2013, 08:34 AM)
What features do you need is the question.Nothing much. I'm having a problem with my eBay UK account, which has suddenly started sending "New items that match:" messages in an odd format. eBay UK seem impossible to contact by normal means, only through their Web site, so you have to use the online messaging system. Tech support wanted a screenshot, but there doesn't seem to be a way of attaching anything to the messages, which only have a limited text space anyway. Hence needing an independent image hosting service.-mouser (April 16, 2013, 07:42 PM)

>> up on ALL pages of a given site, not just a specific one.
You could do this even with Notezilla 7 using wildcards inside titles. When sticking note to a particular window you are shown the 'Stick To Window' dialog with list of open windows. You can just double click on any window title and edit it like *eBay*. So the note will appear on all pages of eBay website.-conceptworld (April 08, 2013, 12:30 AM)
Ehancement request:My version of this is to have a particular sticky note pop up on ALL pages of a given site, not just a specific one. I couldn't see that in NZ7. Please, is it available in 8?
It would be nice to see a feature where the linking is to ANY webpage with the text "DonationCoder" in the window text. And not just a specific web-page.-Steven Avery (June 03, 2009, 11:20 AM)
