― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 23:31 (twenty years ago)

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)

run DVD on VLC and shot screen with grab?

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.

― The Jazz Guide to Penguins on Compact Disc (Rock Hardy), Monday, 8 May 2006 12:04 (twenty years ago)

Shouldn't it be http://ilx.p3r.net not http://ilx.ph3r.net ?

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 8 May 2006 12:07 (twenty years ago)

Either way, it doesn't work for me either, I'm afraid, even with all the settings as you say.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 8 May 2006 12:25 (twenty years ago)

sigh. guess its not to be.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Monday, 8 May 2006 21:31 (twenty years ago)

is there an app for itunes that gives reliable statistics for music listened to through itunes? something like last.fm/audioscrobbler but with stats that are actually not weirdly distorted? (for example i ripped the Dr Octagon CD to my computer last week and listened to the whole thing straight through at least 3 times which equals at least 60 plays but last fm tells me i've only listened to 9 Dr Octagon tracks or like the fact that it claims i've listened to more Devendra in one week than it says i have listened in total).

it doesn't have to be web related i'm not particularly interested in anyone accessing the stats other than me.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 8 May 2006 22:37 (twenty years ago)

*but with stats that are actuallydependable not weirdly distorted?

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 8 May 2006 22:39 (twenty years ago)

is that a weird thing to want?

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 8 May 2006 22:48 (twenty years ago)

snapz pro x is the best screen capture tool i've come across. it does video too!

Introducing Instant HandBrake
April 21st, 2006

I have uploaded an SVN build of the stripped-down, iPod/PSP-dedicated version of HandBrake, called “Instant HandBrake”.

At the moment, it lets you create iPod-compatible MPEG-4 or H.264 files, or PSP-compatible MPEG-4 files. The default is to automatically crop the picture to fill the screen (4:3 on the iPod, 16:9 on the PSP), or you can choose to keep the original format.

― JW (ex machina), Friday, 19 May 2006 03:10 (twenty years ago)

Woah, not a program but an OS X feature I didn't know about. Alt-Apple-8 to toggle on and off screen zoom capability, then Alt-Apple-hyphen or equals sign to zoom in and out respectively.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 21 May 2006 13:16 (twenty years ago)

pff it doesn't work on my laptop. :-(

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Sunday, 21 May 2006 13:47 (twenty years ago)

oh man!

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 21 May 2006 14:13 (twenty years ago)

two months pass...

Mac for babies!

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 10:10 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, and I just discovered ctrl-alt-apple-8.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 10:12 (nineteen years ago)

Sweet!
