10.6.98 - GnomeNEWS

If you're as nitpicky as I am, then the subject line should have made you cringe in some sort of way. First, I used "its" instead of "it's," and second, I used "to" instead of "too." Ouch. Those are errors which my spell checker usually doesn't catch. These things happen sometimes. Even I, as a writer, make mistakes. That's not an excuse, but remember that I'm human, too.

I seldom have a problem using "it's" and "its," but on occasion, my brain will not be focusing on my usage. And apparently, in recent mailings, I used "ramify" instead of "rectify." Yes, you're right. There's no excuse. But, I'm not perfect, and I don't claim to be. I'm my own editor, which allows me to change "thoughts" on-the-fly without having to consult someone else. 99% of the time, you probably couldn't tell.

"Proceed" and "preceed" seem to give me problems, as well. I can't get "effect" or "affect" straight--it's a flaw that I've learned to live with. Oh yes, and I don't care if my sentences end in prepositions. That's the kind of writing I'll put up with. Er, I mean... that's the kind of writing up with which I'll put.

GnomePROGRAM

Batch Creator v1.0 Beta [800k] W9x/NT4 FREE

When I think about it, I've only taken one "computer" class in my life. That was back in high school (1990). The only thing they had to offer was BASIC programming. Of course, I took it. It seemed like half of my time was spent on creating flow charts for the programs. After learning BASIC, creating batch files was pretty simple to do. And here's a great utility (still in beta) which promises to make batch file editing and tweaking even easier. It allows you to enter what you want, then it inserts the proper command into a batch file correctly. Figuring out the names for certain commands (and utils) will no longer be a hassle with this editor. Plus, there's a new version on the way! It's kinda like a son of a batch?

GnomeCANDY

JoyKey v1.0 [9k] W9x FREE

Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea, and joy to every key. The only time you typically use a joystick is when you're playing some sort of game. But what if that same joystick could be used for navigating through Windows? You don't need a top-of-the-line controller to use JoyKey. It was designed to allow the user to use his/her joystick instead of certain keys (on the keyboard): Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, and the Direction keys. The site was incredibly slow when I downloaded the (very small) file, so be forewarned. YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary)!

GnomeDESKTOP

FONT: Wood Sticks [59k]

The first little piggy built his computer out of bricks. But, the mortar completely ruined the motherboard and effectively rendered the computer useless. The second little piggy built his computer out of straw. After unsuccessfully overclocking the processor, his whole system went up in smoke. The third little piggy built his computer out of sticks (wood). The termites had a hay day. Now, the big bad wolf subscribed to Lockergnome. And he lived happily ever after!
