  1. Chuck Ragans' New Full Length .... 1st of Sepetember. Can't effin wait. I love how all my old punk rock heros have gone folk or country.... And That, my friends, IS punk rock. HAHA
  2. Intresting. I have sat in on LiDAR presentations at my job. Its practical application as it applies to me, is they use it for surveying and scouting jobs in The Northern Canadian Oil field. Basically a plane flies over a parcel of land shoots trillions of laser beams each of which has a Lat and Long, elevation. These points can be complied into whatever you want really. Here they use it to build 3 dimensional fly thrus of an area for particular clients to view rather then actually sending themsevles, surveys crews, helicopters etc etc out into the middle of northern nowhere. FLy thrus look great. Complete with trees provided they are taller then one meter! Kinda looks like early Digital animated shorts. also makes google earths' topo view look like Fisher Price tom foolery. Intresting stuff. Its really taken the whole geomatic game to a new level. But you'll never ever replace conventianl surveying with LiDAR. Nothing beats the human touch lol. Sorry... way off topic. . . . .
  3. I have been using AVG for years and just recently switched to AVG 8 Free. I have noticed a considerable difference in my PCs performance, I know its for the better I am sure but im looking for something thats effective and doesnt slow my stuff down to a friggin halt. Is there any other converted AVG users out there? If so what did you switch too?
  4. I dabble in it. Just message me and I can see what i can do. I grew up playing in DIY punk bands for a decade or more, and i took care of most if not all GD. Posters, stickers, album art etc. Havent done much lately, but again, message me and i may be able to help.
  5. I'm pretty sure defraggler has a scheduler thing I have mine scheduled to run before i get to work. So more or less, I'm 100% sure it has a scheduler. HAHA Not sure about CCleaner.
  6. I have heard Safari is pretty good. I have been debating on giving it a try when i get my other issues sorted out. I am slowly recovering from one of those rediculous MSN viruses.

    I'm Back.

    Well its pretty rad to be back haha. I'm kinda missing home (Nova Scotia) right now. And seeing as this was something i checked (almost) daily at home it kinda takes me back there. In a really really weird way. HAHA. Thanks again for the greetings all.
  8. Banana and Coffee. If im not in a rush Boiled Brains.

    I'm Back.

    Its all good. We all get a little confused. I can also be confusing at the best of times. Yes i Remember capman. Another one i have seen is JDPower. Helped me out of a jam or two. HAHA! I can only assume that you guys are all moderators. Perhaps why the names stuck? Anyway. I just thought I'd get back on and try to keep up. Plus this place is hellishly cold. The extra typing helps keep warm.

    I'm Back.

    I dont really think anyone would remember me or not, but i used to frequent here a bit over a year and a half ago or more. I got alot of good advice from some good people, most noteably Andavari, hazelnut and DennisD. But im back now. Ive left the Information Technology world, and gone a little more to my trade i went to schooling for. I am now Drafting for a Geomatics Company in Northern Canada. So Hooray!!!! Bit more money and alot less retarded people. HAHA. I really didnt have patience for the people i used to work for. Anyways. Its good to be back and see some familiar faces, Er, Avatars?

    OH SNAP!

    Ok so. Somehow i must have accidently sent something to the recycling bin by accident.... like my girlfriends music folder... yea. oh s**t right?!!! I happened to glance at the screen of what it was removing and i saw a bunch of song titles. I canceled it immediately I read the log and 980 Mbs of stuff got deleted and i know the Bin was Empty Prior to scanning. My question is. Can i see what CCleaner deleted from the recycling bin? Or can i undo what CCleaner did? I think i know the answers to both questions but i thought id ask it anyways. Thanks.
  13. Ha. and Ha. Yea i got to thinking and the ipod touch is still 'new'. I'm sure there will be improvements made and im sure they will get better. I think I'm going to take ridgelys advice and go back to my original plan and get a player and a gps. It just seems more efficient. What is the 30gig player you (rridgely) mentioned?
  14. If anyone has one of these id like to talk to them about it. I am contemplating on getting one. (my trusty RCA lyra fell in my coffee and needless to say it doesn't work and the warranty is up and i doubt that is covered anyways) I know that it may be sort of gimmicky as well but i do want an 8GB nano but im also intrested in the Maps app as well. Casue the same time ive been shopping around and contemplating the nano, ive also been thinking about a small GPS, as my best girl and i are avid day trippers! From what i know the maps app can do the same thing as a gps (sort of) just not in real time?? I stand to be corrected. Thats why i am asking the question. More importantly though, my biggest concearn is the wi-fi. Is there like a data contract i have to get into with this? Or do i have to pay for the browser services? Etc. Im not totally up on my wi-fi technology. Or is it more or less if it picks up a connection when one is found i just auto connect provided no password or encription code is requested? Anyways. Any info at all or links or if you have, a user review, i'd be more then happy to hear what everyone has to say. Im not really intrested in bigger is better. More or less functionality. Thats why i was going for an 8gb nano. But if i can get better little features out of the touch then .. cool! Thanks
  15. NOt clicks... but i do have a rouge mouse icon. Its USB Dell mouse (dell... need i say more) with the laser beam. And every so often the mouse icon on the screen will slowly begin to move in an etch-a-sketch manner. very slowly, and the mouse itself is not doing anything. Just sitting idle. The desk is level, i work in building supplies so i know factually my desk is perfectly level. Some times ill just sit and watch it and see if there is a pattern to it. NO pattern in the least. But its kinda of creepy and can be a good distraction at times. I have no idea what casues it? Ive just come to accept it!

    Free Email.

    I have been asked to set up about 8 email addresses for a family who isn't overly interested in paying for a domain or setting up a bunch of hotmails. Is there anything out there in the world of free lame web based email where i could set up 8 whoever@blahblahs.tk If it doesn't make sense don't blame me! blame my weak pot of coffee this morning.
  18. how do i even defrag the free space? i dont see any options to do so? I know on one pc it defragged the freesapce all on its on? I didnt ask it to. Am i missing something?
  19. CLOSE. nosy people. My neigbor has asked to find out if his wife has installed parental nosy boss kinda software stuff on his home office computer. I see there is alot of stuff available to people to spy on their loved ones. Im just wondering how someone with some form of knowledge like myself would go about looking for this stuff for someone. Its sad people need to act this way. (truth be told from what this nosy neighbor (me) sees coming and going, he should be the one spying with hidden cameras..... thats all i have to say about that)
  20. Not sure if this is the best place to post this or not but. .. I understand that ccleaners uninstall list is made up of programs that appear in the registry? I might be wrong. If this is the case, would it tell me if someone has installed spying type programs like keyloggers, or the ones that take screen shots and other such programs on a PC. If not anyone know of how to look for these things?
  21. How do i get it to defrag the free space? It did it once for me. I dont recall doing anyhting different when this occured.... it just happened. It took forever but it did make a bit of a difference. How do i make it happen agian?
  22. not sure but ill give it a try.
  23. Does thunderbird have the ability to archive or export messages to something similar to a .pst file. I want to back up all my 2007 messages in one spot. Is this possible. Thanks
