Three shortcut keys, one to capture the screen, one to capture a window and another to capture a region (cropping). Either Mac-style CTRL+SHIFT+1/2/3 or (the preferred) PRNT-SCRN, ALT+PRNT-SCRN and CTRL+PRINT-SCRN.

I have a need for an application that will take a copy/pasted in text input, and output it backwards in such a way it can be copy/pasted. example: Input> This is a line of text! Output> !txet fo enil a si sihT Input will never exceed 250 characters. In my mind I see a just a window with 2 text boxes, input on top, output on bottom. 3 buttons, one for REVERSIFY, another for Copy, and Quit. Target OS is Windows XP, has .NET installed (unsure of the version)

Steakandchips posted:Just like to say that this entire thread is very impressive. Its really just getting your hands dirty. Don't wait for your job to give it to you. This thread is a great place for cutting your teeth on simple projects that are enough to give you experience with the code and tools. Seriously, .NET makes things so drat easy, it should be a crime sometimes. And if you've learned Java, the learning curve is basically starting VS (Express editions are free) and starting typing for Intellisense.

I'm looking for an app to do batch-converts of audio files from stereo to mono. I'm deaf in one ear and can't listen to stereo music with headphones, as I end up missing half the song. Audacity has a batch-processing function but it's flaky as hell and loves to fail out the entire batch when one file doesn't work right. It would be awesome if the app could do large batches sequentially, preserving directory structure and filenames. http://www.tinyappz.com/wiki/Request:1243549714

I don't know if this can be done simply with a macro or if it needs a custom app but this seems the best place to post this. I'm teaching and would like a piece of software to use the template  3rd/4th bellwork template Use a macro or a piece of software to read words from a text file or database (either is fine) and have it come out like  3rd/4th bellwork example I also have a 2nd style which looks like this. Instead of the translated words on the right there is a conversation.  5th/6th grade bellwork example

It also doesn't appear to have a stereo-to-mono conversion feature. It has quite an impressive list of DSP effects that it can apply, if you buy the fancy version, but I don't see any mention of a stereo-to-mono feature. Thanks for mentioning it, though, I can use it for some other stuff. edit: Unless the 'channel count' effect can do that, but I'm not sure if it actually merges channels or just deletes them when you want to remove a channel. vvvv Thanks, I'll give it a shot. fatman1683 fucked around with this message at 05:22 on May 29, 2009 |

http://www.tinyappz.com/wiki/Request:1243604692 I'm looking for a tiny app that will sync the clock to an NTP server then close itself. Plan on having it run on boot on my windows machines because the current method I'm using doesn't always work. Doesn't need any fancy dialog boxes for confimation or anything, maybe just a text or ini file that has a list of NTP servers if you really wanna get complex, otherwise just using pool.ntp.org should be fine!

Failing to find a Window application to suit my needs in the Windows thread, I come to you - groveling. As my laptop doesn't have an actual numpad (Numpad?) (for inserting Unicode characters), I have to use the improvised one; unfortunately, the pseudo-numpad on Thinkpads kinda suck. To access it, I have to enable Num Lock, which, to me, is like using Caps Lock for typing capital letters. On my previous laptops, you could hold down the Fn key and use the Numpad afterwards; think of it as what Shift is to Caps Lock: Caps Lock : Shift :: Num Lock : Fn. I still want to retain the other features of my Fn button, but I also want it to act as my Num Lock-Shift counterpart. Any way to do it? I assume it mainly requires a key remapping workaround.

I also extensively use python (use version 2.6.2), which has extensive documentation, is highly recommended for beginners, and is very powerful. This is a great book/tutorial for learning. Stop by the python megathread if you have any questions.

Windows UI's have little to do with learning to program and just muddle up the learning experience. When I started out, I was miffed about this...now I find that I hardly ever write a GUI for anything.

It's much easier to start off with an example program and make it do what you want then to write it from scratch - you can also do this with open source code. I know some like to do this, but personally I can't stand it, and have found that it leads to poor practices in some. I always just find it much easier to write what I want from scratch.

At the very least, choose code that's not already crap to start with (Codeproject's stuff is almost universally terrible). And if you can't tell which stuff is crap and which is good, then you need to program more on your own until you have the experience to discern the two.

Having no knowledge in coding I don't know if this would be simple to make, but I'd like to have a program that would tell me exactly how much data I downloaded/uploaded. My ISP makes me pay for everything after I reach a 30 Gb limit and only offers a very horrible way to see if I'm close to the limit. So can anyone offer a program that would tell me exactly how much bandwidth I have spent so far during the month so I don't go over every other month?
