So that is the bookcase, ironing board (alias:privy table) and a spice rack.  Anything else?

Even as a trucker I never had anything but good success.   

It will learn to "hear" your rolling-down-the-road voice bumps, creaks, krankles(yes, I know this isn't a real word, but you know the sound)  and bangs included

Since, for what reasons I was never able to figure out, I was not able to get a graphic, please suffice yourselves to visualize, if you will, my post numbered [Fill in the Blank].

There now that should fit all occasions.

General Software Discussion / Re: assign default program to always open file without extension?

« Last post by CodeTRUCKER on January 02, 2008, 03:40 AM »

Seems like it should be possible to script this.  Would it not be possible to parse a file name and if none is found, then append a ".txt" or whatever the need is at the moment?

Edit - Hmmm. anyone know why the "4" won't allow the strikethrough?

Nice!  Would you mind explaining the algorithm used to determine the density of the characters?  That is if it is not proprietary.

looks like it could be quite useful.
suggestion:  call it something that will help truckers find it.
how about simply "Truckers Log Watch"?

"Truckers Log Watch" it is!  Thanks!

« Last post by CodeTRUCKER on January 01, 2008, 12:19 AM »

I am considering an app that would take the stress off a trucker at the end of driving eleven hours straight at 3:17 A.M.
I am envisioning a form with large buttons with large type (perfect for those bulging blood-shot peepers).
Since everything in the logbook is based on time, I would incorporate "countdown" windows and a forecast feature.

Yes, I will be sure and do that.  Maybe, just maybe I might find a complete road map on some of those offerings.  Thanks.

Something else is out of kilter.  I can not get Catalyst to download.  I will try again later.

I have tried Catalyst in the past, but I had trouble.  I had to work it out myself, but I will be dipped, I can not remember how in the world I made work.

I took a look at the page mouser suggested. The problem is that many of those drivers are for Vista only. Please provide a list of the stuff that isn't working.

The whole video thing is not working.
