Again, let me know if you spot anything unusual.

UrlSnooper / Re: url snooper2

« Last post by mouser on May 02, 2020, 10:12 PM »

Actually I just saw the WinPCap page talks about Npcap, which be installed and in WinPCap compatible mode.

And the Npcap page talks about Windows 10 specific stuff it solves, and says "WinPcap isn't supported on Windows 10"  -- which would explain why URL Snooper might not work.

So maybe you feel like seeing if you can get Npcap to work with UrlSnooper?  This sounds promissing:

https://nmap.org/npcap/

Download the installer from that page and choose WinPCap compatibility mode.

I will also check it out when I get a spare minute.

Let me know what you find!

If you download the portable version and unpack it into a new directory and run it, same result?
Have you installed the WinPCap driver that UrlSnooper needs?  It comes with it, but maybe try downloading the latest one from the WinPCap websiet? https://www.winpcap..../install/default.htm

Well that was quite an experience.. We had 300 hard core donationcoder members show up for an amazing debate.
And we gave away some great prizes -- two new cars and $500k in cash prizes.

Please sign up for the zoom meeting newsletter link and join us, the more the merrier.

I will probably also post the zoom meeting link on this thread this time, for those that forget to sign up to the newsletter, or in case I have to send out a change to the zoom meeting link if we get zoombombed.

The meet and greet is tomorrow, 22 hrs away !

Here's how we are going to do it:

• 1. Because there is a risk if I post the meeting info publically that we will get spammed or pranked, I will need to send everyone the link the meeting privately.
• 2. Sign up on the new donationcoder ZOOM meeting mailing list: https://www.donation...ailing&ctrl=user
• 3. I will open the meeting (or a different one) and hour early (3pm forum time) and leave it running in the background for people who want to test their connection and webcam/audio setup and just see how zoom works.

Bottom line -- join the zoom meeting mailing list if you want to join this meetting OR one in the future, so that you receive connection info for meetings.

So was there even a bug.

Yes.  Google continues to increase security stuff on Android, and it seems that some recent changes broke the location my code was trying to download the data files to during import.  The recent update fixes this.

This is truly wonderful.  A collection of downloadable print-and-assemble paper craft models of retro computers including the Apple II, the IBM PC, the TRS-80 Model 3, by Rocky Bergen.

These look wonderful -- you just download and print them and cut and assemble.  Love it.

Sorry my instructions weren't very clear.

It's Tools -> Import -> Browse Suggested..

Then you'll see a list of available imports.. The new one is at the bottom.

Sorry if it still isn't available.  Google rejected my update because in the description I wrote:
"My wife and I use this app to review a small set of relationship questions each week during a long walk."

Apparently the concept of a human coder describing how he uses the application did not compute.  Their complaint: "The app's full and/or short description includes unattributed user testimonials or more than five attributed quotes/testimonials"

Ha!

These are the times we are living in, google play simply could not comprehend the concept of an author commenting on how they might use their own app..  Sigh. Ok google, you win, I've removed any semblance of appearance that a human being made this app and removed that statement.
