is there anyway using windows explorer.exe to sort files based on a custom function? like i want to rip out a timestamp in the filenames using regex and sort on that. is this possible in the most advanced operating system in the world, Windows 8.1?

Hey, I take offense to this statement. I deserve artificial validation for doing nothing as much as the next millennial.

man, that requires effort on my part. batch is too annoying to use and there's no good programs to regex without taking more time than its worth

if you already have the custom function you were talking about you're already most of the way there

Powershell scripting? I used VBscript for stuff like that back in 2005.

You could also install cygwin :getin:

whats the best way to remove the thermal gunk on a cpu to switch coolers? i noticed with the stock intel cooler my cpu has been running at 90-100° C under heavy load so :eyepop:

it would actually be removing the intel poo poo and some unknown thermal compound since i want to try an old cooler i have stuck in an old build first before maybe buying a new one. is this a bad idea, should i just get a new one (i don't use the old computer and it hasn't been powered on for maybe a year), etc?

Work is looking in to getting us some interactive teaching software for us to use at work, so we can do outlandish presentations that require interaction between an automated script and the user. For example, a reading script will show a slide on screen, and an automated voice will talk about the slide. Then, on the next page, we have a small quiz regarding anything that was just shown. Wrong answers can then explain why it's wrong, and what the right answer is for what reason.

Anyone know of any good programs we can use?

i had a huge box of the little pads already since i use them to wipe off my phone and ipad sometimes

anyway i had to disassemble the old computer first to get at a mounting bracket on the bottom of the motherboard just to find out that its ever so slightly too small for my desktop (lga 775 vs 1150), thankfully that case has a back panel you could slide off with a little hole where a hsf bracket would go

since i couldn't really do much else i re-did the thermal paste (with loving $12 "antec 7" super goo from best buy) and the temps aren't any different. i just ordered this thing since its in the shsc parts thread and called it a day

if you're using os x you can probably do this with automator and either powerpoint or keynote, it would be a little difficult to script but os x has a command-line "say" utility

100% windows desktop environment.

Also, we're looking for the ability to create the interactive lessons, we don't need a host or anything as we already have our own. I'm guessing it'd probably be Powerpoint/HTML5 based, but would like to have some ability to streamline it.

oh well if it's going to be html5 based there's always the web speech api. i dont know how many browsers support it though

e: looks like at least chrome and safari support it. im having fun playing with this on my ipad atm http://codepen.io/matt-west/full/wGzuJ

is the wrt54gl enough to handle a 25mbit dsl connection with QoS rules or is the hardware too old to do it effectively? they're still skating by on a 200mhz processor but I really like the tomato firmware, but even the cheapo $20 tplink things that can run dd-wrt are coming with 500+mhz chips
