Msgboard Chatroom Marathon
Sunday, January 27, 2002 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Honestly, I would go to IRC for this kind of stuff, but if any of you have been there recently, everyone seems to be...inactive. Sooooooooo, out of boredom, I'm turning a thread among this msgboard into a chat room, anyone care to join? =P.
It's Sunday night, and I'm bored out of my mind. There's much to do, but I'm too lazy to get around to do it. My boyfriend is busying trying to get Visual Studios to work so I can't talk to him on the phone....and we can't seem to talk over the phone anyways...it'll just be silence mostly.
New Semester started........so anyone alive out there to join Elffie in this chat marathon? =P
Let's try not to let this post hang for over 2 hours, hm? =P

feline: feline thinks it is time to jump up and down on fuzzy until he explains what he means...
An 'amator' is one who incites sexual desire in others...I'm sure that's what you really meant and are just being coy
Full marks to KarmaGirl for getting close without using a dictionary

I'm going back for a BS in Business admin or management, not sure which (and it really doesn't matter at this time, anyway) real shock with that, eh?

Do the one which will get you the biggest salary. Well, you have to look after your own interests.
Regrettably my qualifications don't relate to either my accounting or IT professions and that is why I live on a miserable pittance

Well, I doubt that the degree will make me much more money at Stardock than I already make (I'm not making a ton, but I think that what I get paid is fair considering the "fun" factor of the job) and I have no plans of leaving Stardock (it's been my home for over 7 years...people actually make fun of me for calling their "office" their "room") so I am more or less doing it just to do it. It has always bothered me that I never finished my degree. The management degree has more project management courses in it, so I will probably do that. I have to get 12 credit hours in before I can declare a major, so I'll worry about that after a couple terms. I may be 40 before I get this degree, but I'll do it!

starone the pussy cat - Gee, when I left the party started again. I'm getting a complex. I brave this thread and again no one is here. Well Doreen if you pop in again, hi. And, Feline, well thanks for the invitation (are you deliberately tormenting me just because I wanted your nick?) Oh well, think I'll go hide in a corner somewhere until coaxed out.
feline *sigh*
feline thinks starone the cat needs to be coaxed a bit more
remember the object bar thread? you never seemed to feel that you were being neglected in there, and this thread is more active that that one was.
it is just that all us furry creatures work on a slightly different time system to the rest of the site. comes of all these portals we keep playing with.
you know furry creatues, insatiable curiosity
anyway, if i was trying to torment you i would do it in a nice way. i mean, just look at what happened to fuzzy logic and werewolf. however, if you are interested in seeing what being tormened feels like then i am sure we can be talked into holding you down and seeing how ticklish you are
feline wonders what the best way of working chocolate into this experiment is

JavaBrain - If I remember correctly, Amator = lover
JavaBrain - Interesting twist to the thread, don't you think?
dracoform *starts wondering at that strange glint in feline's eye's*
JavaBrain - I was wondering- what degrees do you guys have?
so, javabrain is talking about lovers and university all at once?
you know there is no need to perpetuate the myth that universities are hotbeds of raging hormones
dracoform *points out relivent memories to feline*
all right, so it isnt a myth
why do you assume that we all have degree's?
actually the more interesting question become's how come all the regulars in here do have degree's?
personally, i studied Mathematical Physics
since then i have started doing a degree (via the OU) in computers and programming. not long got my diploma in computers from them, which was nice.

javaBrain, any chance that you can make an appeal to T-Man for at least one crayon for us?
the above posting would flow a lot better if i could colour code myself more clearly you know.

feline *blushes bright red*
well, why do you think i spend so much time in here leaping all over the interesting and fun ones?
of course it is a nice and fun place, which is good.
however, i didnt want to say anything, after all, what would people think?
Fuzzy Logic - Full marks to KarmaGirl for getting close without using a dictionary
i have never encountered that word before.
perhaps i spend to much time around programmers?
dracoform *looks up from considering felines job description*
look, you know what i mean. i am hardly considered a *typical* individual at work
anyway, back to the point in hand, which is these people dont normally have a vast vocabulary, and are prone to rather symplistic descriptons of things. something to do with the mental age i suspect

Fuzzy Logic - Hi starone. No need to go hide in the corner, this is a nice safe place full of furry animals and other cute things. Yesterday's lunacy was just a blip
very true.
normally the lunacy is far more focused on chocolate, as it should be
Fuzzy Logic - As for Doreen. She usually pops in, says something cryptic, then pops out again. Dunno when she'll next appear...
probably another day or so, that is about average at the moment.

this smart button thing is getting stranger and stranger.
i dont recall it doing nothing at all before.
the only obvious reason for it doing nothing is
a) it cannot find the required dll
the UIS file has lost some or all of the required information to make the smart button work correctly.
back to those shortly.
werewolf - I tried to register smart.dll thinking that it had lost its way and became embarassed. I got the following:
i have no idea if my smart.dll is registered or not. is there a non destructive way to find out?
as for the actual file its self, on my home winXP machine it is:
size = 36,864
date = 12/12/2001
time = 23:33
if you go to http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/ you can download HJSplit 2.2
this is a very small util that splits and joins up files. it will also calculate the checksum of a file!
using ver 2.2 the checksum of my smart.dll is 2027464
now off to try some more experiments

well, experiment number 1 had an interesting result.
if you remove the smart.dll file from your WindowBlinds dir and then load a window using starone's skin, the quick menu button just isnt there!
putting the file back and launching a new window, and the button is back and works once more as expected.
it is worth pointing out that the WindowBlinds dir is not in my system PATH, so i am correct in thinking that WB can find files in its own directory without any problems.

feline decides that you have been there long enough, and need to come and join the fun
what to tempt you out with
perhaps some chocolate treats to start with?
feline knows where to find a wide range of lovely chocolate treats
oh come on, no need to be shy, no one bites much, and if werewolf does, just sit on the middle of his back where he cannot so easily reach you
he is only being playful after all
