Note that InfoLayout is available on Bits Du Jour today (May 11, 2008), and I wanted to see about buying it. This is a result of my evaluation.-wraith808 (May 11, 2008, 12:27 PM)
I do not know if anyone (especially the author) reads this thread anymore?
I would like to request a feature (or a minor modification, really)... In order to measure my average productivity when actually working I have come up with an Excel sheet that nicely calculates my output and gives results. Unfortunately, if there are any distractions (and with a small kid in the house there are many!), I have to „mark” the beginning and the end of the idle period, so that only the time I am really working is counted. This is quite inconvenient, that is why WorkCoach would come in so handy. However, at this time I have to put in the WorkCoach value manually, which is not that convenient.
It would be much better if the Excel sheet could access a file with WC data. As they are saved anyway, all it would take would be to save the logs every minute (or every five minutes, if the overhead is too large)...-Jabberwock (May 09, 2008, 01:37 PM)
I was searching the forum for topics about signing/verification of email and I came across this post, unanswered. I have recently set up my primary email addresses with GPG, so here's my advice. By a mile, using Thunderbird with its Enigmail extension is the simplest and least painstaking way of implementing email signing. I cannot offer advice outside these two applications, though i should be able to answer any basic questions you have. Perhaps the quickest way to get started with Thunderbird and Enigmail would be to follow their Quick Start Guide. I didn't use it, but it seems to be very clear-cut and complete.
Hope this helps, Ehtyar.-Ehtyar (May 01, 2008, 05:07 PM)

Forgive me for being just a little off topic, but Denke's letter reminded me of HowTo Get Telephone Marketers Off Your Back. It is an entire book, for sale, but the essence has been extracted into this single page counterscript:

We were referring to hard as in hard-coded, and no, it is not hard-coded. No rudeness implied.no we wasn't-Geminate (April 27, 2008, 01:23 AM)
more trustworthy IMO it comes up later unexpectedlyI just discovered an application sandbox program called Sandboxie http://www.sandboxie.com/. It allows you to run programs in a virtual sandbox but without the full overhead of running a PC virtualization environment like VMware. While the program runs, it'll still be able to read from your files if you set it to, but it will not be able to write or modify any files as well as the registry (it will think it has, but it really hasn't).-kreatorr (April 25, 2008, 04:59 AM)
I am sad that there have been no new vector tools in any of the last major updates, Inkscape, Corel and Illustrator all have vector tools that Xara does not, but I do still stick with Xara for all my design needs, because the user interface is still second to none - it is just so darned fast and intuitive.-Ampa (April 24, 2008, 05:11 PM)
Presumably they both pass through the same router at some point, and that router is illin'.-CWuestefeld (April 24, 2008, 02:05 PM)
What if i added a kind of reduced functionality quick-add clip feature. When triggered it just lets you paste in some text, and it copies this text to the clipboard and adds it to the recent clips group. So basically it's just a really quick and dirty way to add a clip to the list. Maybe with checkbox to flag it as a favorite.-mouser (April 23, 2008, 03:38 PM)
... a new top level folder called "Notes", I would love to be able to select that as the home for QuickNotes, then when I add one it goes in there by default.-Tekzel (April 23, 2008, 03:48 PM)
If you make a habit of digitally signing your emails, spoofs are easier to detect.-housetier (April 24, 2008, 04:39 AM)
The process for creating, obtaining, and using keys is fairly straightforward:
1. Generate a key using software such as PGP, which stands for Pretty Good Privacy, or GnuPG, which stands for GNU Privacy Guard.
2. Increase the authenticity of your key by having your key signed by co-workers or other associates who also have keys. In the process of signing your key, they will confirm that the fingerprint on the key you sent them belongs to you. By doing this, they verify your identity and indicate trust in your key.
3. Upload your signed key to a public key ring so that if someone gets a message with your signature, they can verify the digital signature.
4. Digitally sign your outgoing email messages. Most email clients have a feature to easily add your digital signature to your message.-http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST04-018.html
))In Europe, for example, the marketplace has gotten too regulated for this to happen. The governments in Europe are squeezing the small vendors out for the benefit of the big companies and retailers. It's a sad story.-phillfri (April 24, 2008, 06:19 AM)
(I have no idea even though I live in "Europe")Perhaps people should try OpenDNS. I use it and DC works fine for me!-Josh (April 24, 2008, 06:51 AM)
just curious ... and commentingOpenDNS makes money the same way Google and Yahoo do — by showing relevant ads when we show you search resultsseems fair enough - do they have their own search page or do they add them to other search pages?
