Lockergnomies in Boulder, Colorado: If you are the SysAdmin for an NT
web server, and you need to have "someone" watch your
server 24 x 7 to make sure nothing hangs, you should check out
Freshtech.com for a product
called SiteScope 4.0. For US$495.00, it monitors the web apps at the
transaction level, monitors the NT server health, monitors the back-end
DB, and can automatically page you and execute recovery scripts when
a problem is detected. It takes about 10 minutes to install the FREE
eval -- you can download today from http://www.freshtech.com/.
02.16.1999 - GnomeREPORT Hey gang, thanks for taking the time to write me! I do my best to read & respond to every e-mail that comes to my Inbox (some days are better than others). Your responses and additions do NOT fall on deaf ears, however... I really wish you'd share your knowledge with other Lockergnomies. Seriously, I've gotten some killer responses to recent Lockergnome reviews, but I can only do so much with your information. Here's a solution that will benefit EVERYONE: post your stuff in the Lockergnome newsgroups.
There are different groups in there that tackle a variety of computer-related topics--and there's no JUNK (that I know of). If you have support questions, ask other gnomies. If you want to publicly respond to an issue, tell other gnomies. Some of the stuff you guys send me is great--and I want other people to see it. But, I don't have time to post your stuff--which is why I'm asking you to consider doing it yourself. It's painless, it's fun, it's free--and it's for the world to see! Fire up your news reader. Don't have one? I bet you do: Outlook Express! If you don't have OE, then Netscape Communicator should have one you can use. Try NewsXpress or Free Agent if you don't have either NC or OE. It doesn't matter HOW you get there, just get there. You're going to need to create a new "News" account and use the news server: news.lockergnome.com (easy to remember). Once you're in the newsgroups, you can read and write as much as you want! Share those thoughts, ideas, homepages, etc.. And most importantly, remember to be civil. GnomePROGRAM Swatch Internet Time v1.0 [52k] W9x/NT FREE
http://www.swatch.com/internettime/download/swatch.exe Now that I'm communicating with more people who live in other time zones (and countries), I have to keep in mind that some of them are fast asleep when I'm wide awake. I could say I'm in the Central Standard Time Zone, but if you're from Russia, you're probably not going to know how that relates to you. The Internet is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And unlike television, we can usually see what we want to see when we wanna see it. Swatch has come up with something called "Internet Time", so there's no chance of being confused about what time you're going to do something online. Anyone can use it (and everyone should)! GnomeSYSTEM Description of the Windows 95 and Windows 98 Setup Switches http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q186/1/11.asp "This article describes switches you can use with the Setup program in Windows 95 and Windows 98. Note that some of the switches can be used with both Windows 95 and Windows 98, and some can be used only with Windows 98." This appears to be the mother of all listings, gang. GnomeCANDY 3DTop v1.0 [128k] W9x/NT FREE
http://www.wirehub.nl/~technica/3dtop/3dtop.exe Our Desktops are very much two-dimensional... and that's fine for normal day-to-day operations. But what if you want to spice things up and jump into 3D? This program will allow you to do just that! Although it ran very slowly on Mr. Bigglesworth, 3DTop immediately threw my Desktop and its icons into a whole new world. I could fly around, manipulate the lighting, colors, and positions & shapes of the icons. You can even set a constant rotation on any given Desktop object. Pretty darn cool (although somewhat slow). GnomeFAVORITE DVD4U VersaDisc http://www.dvd4u.com/subscrip.html I successfully hooked up Manny III to my receiver the other day so Gretchen & I could watch "Lost in Space" o DVD. I loved having access to behind the scenes information (including deleted scenes). I stumbled upon this site the other day--it promises to send you a FREE DVD every month. I signed up for their service, but haven't received a DVD from them yet. Each one should have movie trailers, music videos, games, and other information. Hey--it's free... and it's DVD! GnomeDESKTOP
![]() FONT: Radioactive Roman [43k]
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Coffeehouse/9609/fonts/radioactiveroman.zip What do you get when you cross Julius Caesar with a barrel of toxic waste? That's a rhetorical question, gang; just look at the name of this font and you'll have your answer. It's not the brightest answer, but imagine a glowing emperor strolling down the road in the middle of the night accompanied by a few aqua ducks. Sounds like a super hero to me. Jimminy Jillikers! I've said that phrase so much, the words have lost all meaning. One of these days, I'll find a sidekick, too... GnomeTIP
A few of you e-mailed me with this scanning tip, so I figured I'd
pass it along to the rest of you. If you use a scanner, it might
also be wise to have a black sheet of paper handy. Whether you're
scanning text or pictures, place the black sheet behind the
document. This way, you won't get as much glare or light
reflection, creating crisper, richer scans. Any bit of plain
construction paper will do. It's a low-cost way of getting better
output! If you have any other scanning tips, be sure to let me
know!
