Unfinished Requests / Re: IDEA: Text Editor just for text (stay with me)

« Last post by CodeTRUCKER on January 06, 2007, 04:55 AM »

Wordstar is a very powerful writing tool once you can master it.  The ability to never have to let your fingers leave the keys is huge.  I can only type about 18 wpm (with errors), so I am no great ad for it, but I do understand the value.

Post New Requests Here / Re: An idea: "Personal Censor"

« Last post by CodeTRUCKER on January 06, 2007, 01:05 AM »

I could have sworn that fellow DC member Allen's ReReplace did that, but checking it out now I don't see that feature. You could send him a personal message and invite him to add that feature. I doubt it would be very difficult.

Even though ReReplace isn't what you're looking for now, it is quite a handy online find and replace utility that accepts Regular Expressions and displays highlighted results to boot!

Sounds promising.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: "Personal Censor"

« Last post by CodeTRUCKER on January 06, 2007, 12:35 AM »

I had a thought in regard to the tagging/NSFW debate that seems to recur periodically.  I was wondering if there was a tool that could be a "Personal Censor?"  I'm not real sure how it would work exactly, but if there was a utility that could be programmed for the individual tastes which would censor out what one does not want to read without butchering the author's real message, it could be of some value, I think?

General Software Discussion / Re: General brainstorming for Note-taking software

I really don't have too many demands for note taking, but it is mandatory that there is a powerful find-as-you-type search capability, like in Evernote 2.

Living Room / "Tax Dollars"

« Last post by CodeTRUCKER on January 05, 2007, 02:35 AM »

When an audit comes prepare for the day.
When you are in a hole and the tax man hollers.
Remind him of how the workers stand around
Watching one worker dig, but no other follers.

His argument will be "Pay what you owe!"
Even on the day you're carried by pall-ers
He doesn't care that you're in the ground
He'll still demand you pay all your tax dollars.

Good thoughts!  It would be a very helpful function, especially if one wants to avoid having to go through the password dialog to keep working.  I sometimes get distracted researching in books, discussing with colleagues, etc. only to turn around and not see what I last saw on the screen.  This could really help with that bother.

FYI -  I have been testing this today and sometimes it does grab focus.  It just happened as I was typing in UltraEdit Studio and no more letters went to the screen eventhough I was still typing.  Earlier today this did not happen.  I couldn't see what I was typing, but when the slide faded I could see what I had typed.

Can you set up a [CTRL]+[Spacebar] or [ALT]+[Spacebar] to immediately clear the slide?  In my continued use of your app all day long, that is something that would really be helpful!

It really bothers me when I see someone who wants to just bury his head in the sand and ignore the reality of the true lessons of history.  I have offered you to explore for yourself.  The problem is venting your own opinions without considering how someone less knowledgeable and dependent on others.  I have found my data on the subject and you would not accept what I copied here, so why should I bother?  It's there for anyone.  Get out your shovel and go to work.

I have some questions I'd like you to address...

• What would Hitler's deceased Jews say about Google?
• Ditto for Stalin's 50,000,000?
• Ditto for Mao Tse Tung's millions?
• Ditto for Saddam Hussein's political rivals?
• Ditto for [fill in the blank, there's plenty of others]?

Another great point, if this was all that Google did I would not have concerns, but taken in the context of their other activities, does it not leave room to question their motives and future plans?
