Dock Exposé in Snow Leopard would be infinitely more useful if I could just middle-click a dock icon to activate it instead of having to click and hold.

I'm looking for inspiration to develop it myself as much as an actual app, but I'm want an app that makes my computer irritating to use during certain time periods. Nothing that makes the computer unusable, just a little extra kick to say "come on, wrap it up, get going". Any ideas?

Reposition your computer between your legs and make it open the cd drawer at random intervals. Failing that, something that drastically changes your mouse sensitivity at random intervals.

At my work, I had to set up a bunch of laptops with WinXP to use a program that actively monitors the computers' idle state, since the machines could be left unplugged. The machines use Deepfreeze, which disables standby/hibernation to keep the machines 'frozen', and this program checks the idle state to turn off the machines by themselves after a certain amount of time. However, now I need to set up a new laptop cart for a science lab, and they need to be able to keep the machines awake all night long by themselves for certain experiments, but they want the machines to turn off by themselves every other time. Does anyone know of a small app that will keep the computer's idle state/timer from being counted as long as the app is open or such?

I would like an app/script that can run on my hosted website that will look at 2-3 RSS feeds every 4-5 minutes and e-mail me when the page has been updated or a new post (same as updating I would guess for these sites) has been submitted. It is a linux host with the normal php/cron/sql etc programs loaded on it. I follow a couple of custom tool/knife/gadget makers who post on their RSS feeds when new items are for sale, unfortunately they are small batches and go quickly. I've tried google reader, yahoo alerts and applications for my black berry but can never get an alert less than about 1.5 hours out. If anyone has knowledge of something else out there instead of creating one that would be awesome also. I've put it on the website also, same username and a link to this post.

Jared592 posted:I'm in desperate need of a command line app to simply count pages in a postscript file. As it stands, I have to open some lovely 3rd-party viewer and wait while it loads all the pages (displaying them as it does so) to get a count. I don't need to view the pages, just to count them. When we get into the thousands of pages this means this can take quite awhile.

You know what would be a cool and handy Greasemonkey script? Something that counts the posts on a SA thread page and maybe puts a number in a corner to let you know if you're going to make a new page when you post. Because I have a phobia of being the first post on a new page.

More of a script than an app, but nevertheless: Can someone create a script for Opera (css, GreaseMonkey, what do I know) that enforces that forum tables - on all kinds forums - aren't stretched to take up the entire width of my screen? It's nice on a smaller screen, but when you run a 1680 resolution, a maximum width or one defined in percent of, say, the resolution, is preferable. I guess a css file that allows me to enter forum urls would be one way of handling it.

ufarn posted:More of a script than an app, but nevertheless: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/65085 If you open up the script for editing you can change the width percentage. You will also find instructions for making it resize specific page elements instead, so you can have it just resize the forum tables if you don't mind doing a tiny bit of css/javascript. The SA forums are already set up for you. lazer_chicken posted:Ghostscript can do this.

It may be that MediaMonkey doesn't export playing/paused/stopped through its plugin API, in which case you're SOL.

Dicky B posted:I don't know if you're going to get an easy solution that will work on any arbitrary forum since you will need to manually specify which element on the page you want to resize. However it's easy enough to just have it resize everything on the page: I just figured that, since 99% of forums are PHPBB or vB, there'd be a way to create a more global script, but I'll be perfectly fine with it the way you set it up - I don't visit that many forums after all. A minor thing, though: when the width is decreased, it decreases from left to right, so to speak; the width is decreased, but the table is left-aligned rather than centre-aligned. Is there an easy way to fix this? If it's a hassle, I don't want you to bother.

# ? Dec 29, 2009 17:48 |

Yes that's easy. I updated the script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/65085 Also here are some generic rules you can try that should work on most vBulletin and phpBB boards, if you really hate having the entire page resized. For phpBB boards: rules[1] = "http://www.example.com:#phpbb #page-body"; For vBulletin boards: rules[2] = "http://www.example.com:div.page .tborder"; The problem is the page structure tends to change from site to site so they're not guaranteed to always work.

It doesn't work at all or just on americasdebate.com? I'm not familiar with Opera's Greasemonkey support but I think the included pages need to be manually specified at the top of the script, so if you haven't added // @include http://www.americasdebate.com/forums/* then it won't work. Unless Opera has an interface for that. Also made this yesterday because I couldn't find the yospos script and I have the same phobia http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/65262

I guess I'm none the wiser. Here's the code, for what it's worth. SA seems to wrap some of the links in url tags; these aren't in the actual code, obviously.code:

Ah ok the script is sensitive to the 'www's in the URL, so add this at the top: // @include http://www.americasdebate.com/forums/* And this: rules[3] = "http://americasdebate.com/forums:#ipbwrapper";

Hey guys, OK what I'm looking for is a very simple tiny app with only one function, to provide a link from the Windows 7 notification area (i.e. where the volume, WiFi and clock/date icons are) to Google Calendar (https://www.google.com/calendar) using the default browser (Firefox in my case). This would ideally be in the form of an icon made up of the Google Calendar favicon or something similar. There doesn't really need to be anything other than that, no options window or notifications, simply a link to the GCal webpage. Cheers.
