9.10.98 - GnomeNEWS

Question: Does that image of "the gnome" really look like you?

Answer: Yes, it does. I started doing my caricature when I was in high school, and I finally turned it graphical when I created a mouse cursor for Gretchen so she wouldn't miss me too much (when I was in San Antonio and she was back in Cedar Falls). If you don't believe it, take a look at my picture on the About Lockergnome page.

Question: How many people work for Lockergnome?

Answer: One. Just me. That isn't supposed to sound egotistical, either. While we started out as a small group of individuals, pretty soon it dwindled down to working on what you're reading right now. I'm a writer, and I understand how to separate the good stuff from the not-so-good stuff. At this point in time, I don't need any direct help, but if you have anything that you find interesting online, please let me know!

Syrinx Snagger v1.0 [544k] FREE W9x/NT4

How many times have you lost a URL? You simply blame it on the wily black hole in the middle of your hard drive. You should have snagged it when you had the chance. Syrinx Snagger shall help you keep track of Internet Addresses you can't visit at the moment. Whether they be in e-mail, a Usenet News message, etc., you can simply copy them to the clipboard and they'll be sucked up by the Snagger. Plus, you can categorize and create HTML "indexes" from those copied URLs. It's a great way to manage those links you would have otherwise lost to the clipboard monster. Weird title, worthwhile download.

Very Brady Real Audio

About a year ago, I met Barry Williams (who, of course, played Greg Brady on "The Brady Bunch" TV show). This might not be a thrill for you, but I know that his show was part of my afternoon lineup (somewhere in between GI Joe and the Transformers). If you want to take a "trip" down memory lane, scoot on over to this page and listen to some Real Audio files (for not-so-real audiophiles). All the "popular" tunes are here, baby... even the different show themes! It really is a sunshine day!

The Easter Egg Archive
Found by Robert Martin

What's breakfast without eggs? And what's an application without at least one Easter Egg? That's an undocumented (and typically well-hidden) feature which programmers have put into their software. Some of them are more difficult to find than others, though they can be found in all sorts of operating systems--even in video games! Here's a site which shows you to the best of the best... you can even add new Eggs to the archive and rate the ones that are already there. Please don't e-mail me with Easter Eggs that you know of, just add them to this site!

FONT: Basketcase Roman [34k]

The three most overused fonts in W9x: Times New Roman, Courier New, and Arial. Most experienced users know Arial to be some type of Helvetica bastardization (which, of course, can be found on the Macintosh). But what if all three of these fonts flew into the "Seth Brundlefly Font Combination Machine" and came out on the other end? You'd see Basketcase Roman.

GnomeTIP

I haven't heard a lot lately about the PNG graphic format and it's place in web browsers. Does your browser support PNG graphics? http://www.w3.org/Graphics/PNG/Inline-img.html is basically a testing page for inline PNG images. "PNG is an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG provides a patent-free replacement for GIF and can also replace many common uses of TIFF." I wish the format would catch on soon...
