― Yawn (Wintermute), Monday, 16 January 2006 07:01 (twenty years ago)

Andrew did. No idea why.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 16 January 2006 11:54 (twenty years ago)

goddammit, I use "hoonja-doonja" to search for these threads. Andrew, what the fuck!?

― truck-patch pixel farmer (my crop froze in the field) (Rock Hardy), Monday, 16 January 2006 14:17 (twenty years ago)

yeah everyone knows that to search for "hoonja" is easy.

CONTROVERSY!!!

― Andrew (enneff), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 00:50 (twenty years ago)

andrew, i don't really want to know why you changed this thread title since i doubt there is a real reason, but you should know that i just went BONKERS trying to find this.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 30 January 2006 17:02 (twenty years ago)

Speaking of changing titles, whatever happened to that top 100 DJ responses to requests? I tried every possible combination of search terms and couldn't get to it. Does anyone know?

coconutWiFi - menu bar alert indicating wifi networks, and whether they are encrypted or not

― Yawn (Wintermute), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 01:24 (twenty years ago)

I likie, Yawn; i just wish it were part of the Airport hoonja doonja.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 01:38 (twenty years ago)

At my new work I could be working on one of several different computers, therefore my newest favorite hoonja doonjas are Portable Firefox & Portable Thunderbird. I've got both loaded on a USB RAM drive.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 22:07 (twenty years ago)

pls bring back the hoonja-doonja.

YESSSSS!!!! Thanks Alba!

― Jena (JenaP), Thursday, 2 February 2006 02:20 (twenty years ago)

gah I need more universal apps

― A BOLD QUAHOG (ex machina), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 17:25 (twenty years ago)

two months pass...

coverflow ... this looks awesome.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 9 April 2006 17:57 (twenty years ago)

that app is amazing, thanks grimly!

― Jena (JenaP), Sunday, 9 April 2006 21:49 (twenty years ago)

it's godlike, isn't it? and, believe it or not, i stole the link from the oldster's music magazine of choice (well, a link back seems only fair).

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 9 April 2006 21:58 (twenty years ago)

grimly OTM!

Screenshot Plus will take screen captures a lot quicker and easier than Grab, it's always kind of a pain to look for it in the Utilities folder when I need to capture something. Finally a Dashboard application that makes sense. Oh, and I'm still loving the Coverflow app.

― Jena (JenaP), Friday, 14 April 2006 18:24 (twenty years ago)

Will it shot screen with DVD running?

― pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Friday, 14 April 2006 18:35 (twenty years ago)

I rediscovered uno last night. It makes all your apps look the same (and better). There's a firefox theme to go with it.

― stet (stet), Friday, 14 April 2006 18:40 (twenty years ago)

does coverflow work better now? i tried it a few months ago and luvved it but it kept crashing :(

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 14 April 2006 19:00 (twenty years ago)

If you don't use firefox extensions, get camino... it smokes safari

― Fight the Real Enemy -- Tasti D-Lite (ex machina), Friday, 14 April 2006 19:01 (twenty years ago)

Is it faster or better than firefox, J?

― stet (stet), Friday, 14 April 2006 20:12 (twenty years ago)

can anyone suggest a good utility for mac os x that finds and gets rid of duplicate files?

― geeta (geeta), Friday, 14 April 2006 20:19 (twenty years ago)

Will it shot screen with DVD running?

yes, it has a timer option that will probably let you do that.

― Jena (JenaP), Friday, 14 April 2006 20:55 (twenty years ago)

In every way, except for not supporting extensions. :D It has a native GUI and I think there is a greasemonkey for it. People should move all extensions to userscripts (aka greasemonkey) so Opera+all Mozillas+Konqueror+Safari can all use it.

― Fight the Real Enemy -- Tasti D-Lite (ex machina), Saturday, 15 April 2006 15:22 (twenty years ago)

i use camino

― gbx (skowly), Saturday, 15 April 2006 15:24 (twenty years ago)

Huh, when I capture sth it's always command 4.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Saturday, 15 April 2006 15:28 (twenty years ago)

Ok everyone i procrastinated on taxes once more by writing a greasemonkey user script that implements some of the classic show unread functionality.

This script will add a little red asterisk by threads that you have read and that have since acquired new answers. this would work somewhat better in conjunction with some sort of feature that sez "don't alert me about this thread because i don't care" or even an ignore thread. but this is enough for a bit of dicking around. save the following as a text file named "ilxunread.user.js" or something and import it into greasemonkey:

// ==UserScript==

// @name ILX NewAnswers

// @description Place a red * by thread you have read and now have new answers

// @include http://ilx.wh3rd.net/*
// @include http://ilx.ph3r.net/*

// ==/UserScript==

if(window.location.href.match(/thread\.php/)) {
var allBQ, lastBQ;
allBQ = document.getElementsByTagName('blockquote');

lastBQ=allBQ[allBQ.length-1];
re = /\), .*\d\d\d\d (.+?)\./gmi;
txt = lastBQ.lastChild.childNodes[2].nodeValue;
lastDate= re.exec(txt);
re = /thread\.php\?msgid=(\d+)/gmi;
thread=re.exec(window.location.href);
// GM_log(lastDate);
GM_setValue(thread[1],lastDate[1]);
} else if (window.location.href.match(/newanswers\.php/)) {
var allA
allA = document.evaluate(
"//a[@href]",
document,
null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null);
for (var i = 0; i < allA.snapshotLength; i++) {
thisItem = allA.snapshotItem(i);
if(thisItem.href.match(/thread\.php/gmi)) {
reg = /last\W+at\W+(.+m)/i;
tm = reg.exec(thisItem.parentNode.lastChild.nodeValue);
if(tm) {
regg = /msgid=(\d+)/i;
id = regg.exec(thisItem.href);
foo = GM_getValue(id[1],'');
if(foo) {
if(foo.toUpperCase() != tm[1].toUpperCase()) {
// GM_log(foo.toUpperCase()+", "+tm[1].toUpperCase());
newElement=document.createElement('span');
newElement.innerHTML="<font color='#ff0000'>*</font>";
thisItem.parentNode.insertBefore(newElement,thisItem.nextSibling.nextSibling);
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

its pretty messy code as this stuff goes, and oh yeah you'll need to have your ilx settings properly set up so that you show name, email address, date and time for thread pages (not webmail link!) and time of last message for newanswers view.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 16 April 2006 00:42 (twenty years ago)

also, unfortunately, it records yr. own post to a thread as a "new answer". given how hackish this is, lots of these problems are fairly unavoidable barring a bunch of work.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 16 April 2006 00:43 (twenty years ago)

three weeks pass...

so, what program should i use as my imap client? mail? thunderbird? or is there something better than either of these?

― toby (tsg20), Sunday, 7 May 2006 12:48 (twenty years ago)

Those are your options. Personally I prefer Mail as the least bad option, but they both suck in their own special ways. Briefly, Mail tends to fuck up IMAP connections when asked to shift large amounts of data and it's text editor is a little, ahem, eccentric; while Thunderbird knows less than nothing about OS X.

I've never tried Eudora, but I'm told it's tolerable. Mailsmith and Gyazmail are both useless since they don't support IMAP. If you are l337 then there's always mutt.

― caek (caek), Sunday, 7 May 2006 12:58 (twenty years ago)

hi ppl! has anyone used my "unread" greasemonkey script? after about a month now i can't read ilx without it.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 7 May 2006 22:18 (twenty years ago)

link plz

― gbx (skowly), Sunday, 7 May 2006 22:19 (twenty years ago)

posted like 7 posts above this.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 7 May 2006 22:21 (twenty years ago)

I tried it the day you first posted it, Sterling, and it says it's enabled, but it's not working for me.

― The Jazz Guide to Penguins on Compact Disc (Rock Hardy), Sunday, 7 May 2006 23:02 (twenty years ago)

are you showing name, email address, date and time in that order in yr ilx settings? (and last msg time in newanswers?)

it is picky like that

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 7 May 2006 23:04 (twenty years ago)

Yeah. I have everything on New Answers Pages turned on except "Mark Threads which contain images," and everything on Thread Pages turned on above the "Show Messages" pulldown menu.

― The Jazz Guide to Penguins on Compact Disc (Rock Hardy), Monday, 8 May 2006 00:31 (twenty years ago)

My new favorite Mac-a-ma-bob is Fob, which is a little timer that I use to make sure I do ten minutes of work to two minutes of fucking around on the internet. But I'm sure you can use it for other things.

I must go. My two minutes are up.

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Monday, 8 May 2006 01:13 (twenty years ago)

i too installed your greasemonkey script a couple of days ago, sterling, and it does nothing for me either :-( i think i have the same settings as rock hardy.

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 8 May 2006 02:24 (twenty years ago)

ha, fob looks just like what i need, for exactly the same reason...

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 8 May 2006 02:32 (twenty years ago)

hmmm.. try with "show webmail link" and "permalink" OFF, and also "show message dates as relative" off.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 8 May 2006 02:52 (twenty years ago)

No luck.
