Shea,

Maybe you can tell me of some software to "tweak" (ie, hack) the 'inner workings' of various programs...

From another guys post, I've started using Tclock2...
But I want to "hack" its calendar to display more to my liking...
As in - remove the stupid highlight for 'today' that shows up on ALL months...

Or maybe somebody at the above mentioned forum may be able to suggest something...

- Shea - Mar. 23, 2004 10:38 PM

I'lk, ask there. Also you could try using ResHack or a hex editor. A lot of the people at those forums are really knowledgeable (I suck at spelling) but there's a lot more flamming over repeat topics than here or at other forums.

If you guys watch TechTV specifically The Screen Savers you know Kevin Rose. He runs thebroken.

- ProxRocks - Mar. 23, 2004 10:47 PM

I've been using ResHack to tweak everything from MS Outlook to AutoCAD to Proxomitron to "my" liking, but it's not "deep" enough to tweak anything of significance in Tclock2...

I haven't done any hex editing since the days of the grand ol' Commodore 64, if a good proggy is suggested, I'll give that a whirl...

- Shea - Mar. 23, 2004 11:36 PM

I have avery simple hex editor that I like. I don't do much hexing, but if there's a tweak and they tell you what to hex I'll do it. It's called XVI32.

OK, OK, this is a list of my favorite sites, not those I think you'd be interested in. Some of them are very dynamic, others only updated once a week, a month, or even longer. A few are reference sites, which I would expect not to update too often, but I use them religiously in my researches. And few of them have already been mentioned, so what if I'm not the first, I still like 'em.

There's no way I can do just 10 sites, so I broke the list down, as you'll see. I did limit myself to only 25 total, so give me a break, please. Since my interests are all over the map, you'll just have to realize that I have over 1900 bookmarks, :o so it's a bit difficult keeping track of my 'Net life. :P

If anybody has suggestions in any of these areas, please feel free to mention them here, or drop me a line on PM, your choice.

Everyday:
Kye-U's Proxo forum - trite to mention, but oh so true (not linked, you can guess why, right? Smile! )
Large Scale Model RailRoad forum - my second home on the 'Net, after this place
Neowin forums - very argumentive lot, entertaining to stir them up!
EHOWA - the premier no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners blog site; check out their photochopping forum!
Shell Extension City - best way to find new utilities, very large database
Daily Rotation - RSS headline feed focused on computer industry news
Daily Whirl - like Daily Rotation (same source), but focused on legal news
Cool Site of the Day - usually pretty cool, but once in awhile there's a lamer, which is also entertaining
Rate My Kitten - come on, a guy needs a little non-pron fun in his life, eh? Wink
Ernie the Attorney - probably the best legal news-digest/blog site I've come across

Once a week, or maybe not so often:
Quatloos - exposing scams both on the 'Net and off, very focused on the legal aspect
Snopes - get the lowdown on urban legends and hoaxes
Reverb Central - music site, deals mainly with instrumental music; think "surf music"
F150Online - saved me a bundle when I found out about a recall on my pick-'em-up, updates are spotty, but the forum is very active
Findlaw - hey, I told you I'm a legal researcher; here's where I usually start
Camp Chaos - probably the grand daddy of all flash-oriented humor sites, very satirical
Xteq Pro - I dare anyone to find a better tweaker

Some humor things, a few are updated often, some aren't:
* Operator From Hell - if this doesn't make you spit your coke back out your nose, then you aren't alive! Crazy
End of the Internet - much more tame, but I'm addicted to searching out and adding these to my archive
Tucker Max - very brash, claims to be able to get any women into bed; hilarious
The Best Webpage In The Universe - queer duck calls it like he sees it, amazingly on target most of the time
Nolo Jokes - even lawyers can laugh at themselves
DVD Rewind - a very good spoof page
Flame Warriors - large list of various email flamers, usually funny, can be instructive
Orgasmica - find out how the other half feels about sex and orgasms!

That's it, at least for now. A check on my logs shows that I'm regularly visiting between 125 and 150 sites a month. Out of the rest of my links, I visit as needed to check for updates, or for obscure references, etc. It's a good bet that a chunk of my bookmarks are outta date, but I don't feel like checking them all just now. [beatdown]

So, who's next?

Jeez! 1900! I have 66 as of now on my homepage that I made by hand. I like it better than going through my favorites and right under all the links, I have comics that rotate daily with Kye-U's script.

- ProxRocks - Mar. 24, 2004 03:10 PM

I have a filter that kicks in on Google's main page (not the results pages) that puts all of my favorites at the bottom as links...

Plus, with Sensiva, all I have to do is 'mouse gesture' the letter 'G' anywhere on my screen, be it within Word, Excel, IE, Firefox, the desktop, et cetera to go to Google...

- JD5000 - Mar. 24, 2004 04:26 PM

ProxRocks,

Have you tried StrokeIt? I gave up on Sensiva awhile ago..

~JD
Tried it... Three times within the last year-and-a-half...

HATED it... "With a passion"... Only magnified with each try...

I'm using Sensiva (release 1.07)...
I LOVE it, "with a passion"...

I can do a LOT more with Sensiva than with StrokeIt...
Okay, they both do the same exact thing...
But the "interface" to Sensiva is SOOO much better...

But you cannot go higher than 1.07...

Hey "~Guyz~",
I just found this site about Intrusion Detection System. It has a Map that shows where Cyber-Attackz have happened. You can check their data base for the IP.s of the "Top Ten Attackers"! Here was something that I found that was interesting:
Quote:Never send email to this address: spam@euclidian.com. This is a spam trap and everyone sending any email to this address will be blacklisted.
(It's Ok, I disarmed the link to Post it Here on the FORUM!) ~JaK~.
You might be already aware of this site. But just incase, . . .Smile!
Click-on-link
Best Wishes,
"Jak" Smile!
