Reply to KeepSafe & .PSD in ThinkDesk WinCustomize Forums

Well, I didn't notice any restriction notices during the install, but when working with the options, I attempted to add a directory to monitor and the program told me I could not do that, since I'm using the trial version. I misunderstood though. I thought since I could add extensions to backup, it didn't matter what folder they lived in; the program would detect the change and backup my file. After thinking about it though, it makes sense

Reply to KeepSafe & .PSD in ThinkDesk Stardock Forums

LOL, I feel so stupid. Thanks Neil, that solves that problem. My files are never located in that folder, since I don't trust Windows. However, now that I've found this nifty little utility, maybe I'll feel more comfortable about storing things under the \Documents and Settings\ folders. Thanks again. Melchiah

Update: I've attempted telling KeepSafe to backup .DOC files, using the same settings I used for .PSD, and the default settings as well, KeepSafe isn't backing up those files for me either... Melchiah

KeepSafe & .PSD in ThinkDesk Stardock Forums

Hello everyone, I recently installed the trial version of KeepSafe and set the program to backup for me, any .PSD files I work on. I'm a graphic designer, I'm retentive about backups, and this program would be a huge time saver for me,...if only it worked. So far, no matter how I set the options, I cannot get this program to backup any .PSD files I work on. I'm not sure if my situation is limited to just .PSD either, it's the only file type I've attempted. My installation may be having

WB5 Wont Load Skins in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I just installed WB5, and it loaded the default skin "Retro." My problem is, WB5 will not allow me to load any other skin, at all. I've tried: Clicking the "Apply this skin now" option in the preview window, right clicking the skin in the mini-preview and chosing "Apply this skin now," redownloading the skins I'm trying to apply, selecting the skin in the Windows Desktop Properties > Appearance tab, and clicking "Apply." None of

Reply to Listening to the arguments on gay marriage in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

There is no such thing as seperate but equal when using it in relation to civil rights. That was tried once, read your history book, it didn't work then and it wont work now. (No, I'm not saying being denied marriage is the same thing as being held as a slave. I'm only stating that in any situation related to the civil rights of any group seperate but equal doesn't exist. If the group being "seperated" is equal then they wouldn't need to be "sepera

Quality of Service in WoW JoeUser Forums

So, based on the category I chose to put this post in you can probably guess that I am one of the many people who play "World of Warcraft," a MMORPG developed by Blizzard Entertainment. I love this game, as it provides a wonderful diversion from the stresses of life. There are however, times that I'd like to take the game, wrap it in mageweave and set it on

Reply to Hacking is Good For Everyone in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

Okay, I know this is an old post...but I just found it and have something to ad. Yes, I agree that hackers can be a negative thing because some spread viruses, hijack your system etc. Those particular breed of hackers should be punished for what they do. That being said, I also agree that hackers offer a useful service in showing us where our software has holes. Take the recent hacker who was featured on TechTV's "The Screensavers" (I can't

To put it simply, I was talking about people who are ignorant to the more imporant things in life simply because they don't want to take the time to learn about them. ~Melchiah

Ignorant people should be relegated to their own island! That is all I have to say about that. ~Melchiah

RSS...how do I use it? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I see the RSS box at the top right of the screen and when I click on it I am directed to a page with a bunch of XML (I think that's what it is). I am in the process of developing a new personal website and would like to use my blog's RSS feed on that site, but I don't know how. What exactly do I do with that page of XML I'm directed to when I click that butt

Reply to Things I learned today that pissed me off. in Misc JoeUser Forums

Well, there's something to be said for "You made your bed, now lay in it." I agree that some people genuinely need help and those services should be there for them when they do. However, when someone such as my stepdad *choses* to bake his brain on drugs and become disabled, the taxpayers shouldn't have to foot the bill. Stupidity on his part does not constitute financial responsibility on my part. ~Melchiah

Reply to Things I learned today that pissed me off. in Misc JoeUser Forums

I have to say that I too am bitter about the way the system works. You mentioned in your article that people who have problems due to (read: self elected) drug abuse can classify as disabled and receive government funds. My stepfather is one such individual. When he was a youth he chose to ingest large quantities of many different drugs and now, a 51 year old man, receives nearly $2,000/mo from the government. Yet, on the other hand, I have

When all else fails... in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

In the article I posted prior to this one I talked about a problem I was having getting a PHP clock system to work properly. After that post I submitted a help request to a PHP group I belong to. One of the users in the group suggested it might be easier, and make more sense, if I used Javascript to accomplish this task instead of PHP. I've since switched

Reply to Little help... in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

Okay...thank you Poetmom. I was afraid that was going to happen. There's a server offset variable that determines the hour difference between the user's time and the server's time, and to make it display the correct time for me I had to set that to "0" since the server is on my machine which means there isn't a difference, but that means it doesn't make a change for users in other localities. I appreciate your help. ~Melchiah

I'd appreciate it if those of you reading this post would follow the link below and tell me what's on the page. Date/Time Script It's a PHP script that's supposed to display the date and time in *your* locality. I need to know if it's working properly and I can't do that since the server I use

I'm so confused. in PC Hardware JoeUser Forums

I recently purchased a Linksys wireless router (WRT54G) to accompany my laptop's built in wireless adapter. I set it up and everything went smoothly (Thank you Windows XP) as far as the internal network, the wireless access etc. Now I need to extend my router's current configuration to allow me to use the web server I have setup on my primary desktop computer. So, I go to Linksys' website and start reading their KB articles a

Is Joe having a stroke? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

What's up with JoeUser lately? The pages are loading so slowly for me, if at all. I'm going to do some tests on my connection to make sure the problem isn't on my end. I'd appreciate it if someone who knows what's wrong with JoeUser (If it's not my connection) would reply to this and let me know... Thanks, ~Melchiah

Brad: Thanks for clarifying your distinction between the poor and the loser. As you said there are people who fit both categories and some who fit one. Lunaticus: I know exactly what you're talking about with "give'em an inch and they'll take a mile." I have a friend who's family brings in a 6 figure annual income...and this person complains! "It's not enough" this person says, "We have so many probelms [financial]" this person says.

Reply to The poor and the losers in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Lunaticus: I agree completely that we do need a better way to accomplish helping those who genuinely need it while staving off those who just want to abuse the system. Also, I in no way intended to infer that you grouped the two groups as one...my apologies if I did. ~Melchiah

Alright...let me see what I can some up with. I have a lot of personal experience with this topic in all it's forms, from federal aid to homelessness. When I was a young child my father died leaving my mother (a house wife of nearly 30 years with had no "marketable skills") alone with 3 kids, a house etc... She didn't know what to do and to her credit, she started looking for a job. She found a job with the state that involved movin

lol...I don't care if he ad ulterior motives. If he was just doing a good deed, more power to him. If he was "checking me out" as well, I hope he enjoyed what he saw.. Me, nowhere near what anyone could call "socially presentable." I wasn't expecting anyone though, so it's alright. Anyways...lol, I gotta go. ~Melchiah
