maybe timeKeeper (abandonware!) may be worth a look?

I never managed to get an invitation to oink, and now it's dead...
But I found a fantastic review of what goes on on the music industry today, and how the internet can self-organize into a better service than any of the paid ones (take that, industry!).

See also the thread at hydrogen audio:

For quite a long time I've been intending to post some sort of commentary on the music industry - piracy, distribution, morality, those types of things. I've thought about it many times, but never gone through with it, because the issue is such a broad, messy one - such a difficult thing to address fairly and compactly. I knew it would result in a rambly, unfocused commentary, and my exact opinion has teetered back and forth quite a bit over the years anyway. But on Monday, when I woke up to the news that Oink, the world famous torrent site and mecca for music-lovers everywhere, had been shut down by international police and various anti-piracy groups, I knew it was finally time to try and organize my thoughts on this huge, sticky, important issue.

I tried audioShell, but after install it didn't do any of the things advertised.
Do you have to reboot? How do you know it's running?
I need it to work with Total commander too...

it was actually fixed thanks nontroppo.
@Kalos:
I'm using the latest beta (6024) for day-to-day browsing, no problems here...

continuing my hardware problem list: wireless connection has grayed out 'disable'.
Wow.

I cannot be offline now, even when I want to.
Any idea how to troubleshoot this? First time ever...
reinstalling drivers maybe?

BTW : Opera 9.5 beta totally usable here and it loads pages fast! the scroll is great! intellicomplete works! I'm happy!

I moved from  SyncBackSE to SFFS.
I can say that after being a long-time user SyncBackSE -incremental backups- and having tried every app for backups under the sun, everything feels like a toy next to SFFS.

FTP sucks in SyncBackSE.
ever stopped a sync/backup profile in SyncBackSE? you have to start from scratch. SFFS will retake where it left it.

Many, many minor details make me thing that SFFS is head and shoulders over SyncBackSE.

my 2 cents.

Behold ... menguara.exe actually lasted about 2-3 seconds before crashing (23/23495 in the progress bar!).

Now I have a log. Where do I send it to?
If you know the correct developer, should I send it to you? Note: PMs do not allow attachemnts.

Thanks!

BTW, trying to get M2 to import my mail form 9.24 format makes opera crash. Anyone with the same experience?

Have you seen this?

haxe.

haXe is a high-level object-oriented programming language mainly focused on helping programers develop Websites and Web applications. haXe has been designed to be easily portable across several platforms. The haXe compiler supports the following platforms :
JavaScript : you can generate a single .js file from a set of haXe classes. You can access browser DHTML API as well as crossbrowser APIs such as Xml, Date or XmlHttpRequest... haXe is one of the best available languages to develop middle and large scale AJAX Web Applications.
Flash : haXe can compile a SWF file for Flash Players 6 to 9. The language has great features and is at the same time both strict and dynamic. Using haXe increases productivity compared to ActionScript. All the Flash APIs are available unchanged in haXe so you will quickly get used to the language, and porting your existing code to haXe will be easy.
Neko : haXe can compile bytecode that runs on the Neko Virtual Machine. An haXe program can then be run into the Apache web server (using mod_neko). This allows you to develop the server-side of your website using haXe. haXe has access to all Neko libraries such as filesystem, network, databases... and much more. Since it can easily be extended with additional libraries, haXe can be used to develop full-fledged desktop applications.

Check out types... very nice!

Thoughts?

Nobody seems to be using it out there, but it looks promising.

Just a quick note. The alpha series are over. Looking good! the scroll is supernice and M2 is much improved.

It kind of looks like a blog, but very flexible at the same time: vanilla.

Since many plugin developers for SMF hung out here... what do you think of vanilla? I have zero experience with forum scripts...

thanks rjbull, I don't know how I forgot Hilitext! Great product.
I re-installed it, and surprisingly this time (v. 1.5) hilitext failed systematically on every single application I test it on!

I remember when hilitext was free (you can still get the old version)... it worked in many places (word, even the grumpy opera).
Now, with word 2007 on my computer, no dice. Adobe: nada. Onenote: nitsch.

I have contacted the author to see if he has this functionality available as a library, but that was before I tested it .

Damn, if this is state of the art, it's dissappointing!

SysExporter: Very efficient, it goes down to each window component.
   Freeware
   Gets plenty of stuff, even drop-down boxes!
   It fails getting text from adobe
Word doesn't even show up on the list

Same thing with windowscrapper and showin. Not much text captured here, only window ID, window coordinates,etc. Very much in like with autoIT spy.

Thanks

This might be a hard problem: locate a word on the screen and highlight it. In ANY type of window (adobe acrobat, a browser, MS word...).

This problem has three parts
1 - getting a reliable text dump
A 'hacky' approach would be to click on the area that displays text, send ctrl a + ctrl c, put that into the clipboard and the operate from there. This is application-general. Nice. A (maybe) cleaner approach would be to write rules for each application to save a text dump (e.g., sending the kb shortcuts for 'save as', 'export' etc depending on each application. It'd generate spaghetti code , not very elegant .

I can see that AutoIT windows spy drops two interesting pieces of information under:
>>>>>>>>>>>( Visible Window Text )<<<<<<<<<<<

>>>>>>>>>>>( Hidden Window Text )<<<<<<<<<<<
However this is most of the time uninteresting information such as the name of the controls, buttons, etc, nowhere near the full text dump that I'm thinking about.

A similar approach -anything out there that does like autoIT spy but grabs all text in a window?- would be an elegant solution...
2 - finding the word in the text dump
Here one may need some interesting algorithms for cases where the word appears more than once. To simplify, pick the first occurence.

3- locate the word in the native application! (hard!)
The only application-general way of doing this to do an OCR of a screen-capture of the text area, and then use some proprietary (all decent OCR libraries are proprietary ) function call to find the coordinates of that word. then draw a circle on top to highlight it...

If this was application-specific (e.g., firefox only, maybe one can highlight the word using UML/javascript (the language for FF extensions) to highlight the word.

Am I overcomplicating things? Do you have any tricks/hacks to solve this problem?

Thanks!
(PS: I have posted this in the ahk forum, as I'm using ahk to quickly get a mockup working...)
