9.11.98 - GnomeNEWS

When I was a kid, we had a dog named Caesar who ran away. I never saw him again. Of course, we only had Caesar for a year or so... but it was still enough time for me to become somewhat attached. Every once in a while, I'll have a dream that he finally comes home... like part of me is waiting for closure. Okay, this sounds odd, but believe me--it's leading somewhere. Next paragraph...

There's a new technology which can potentially link lost pets with their owners; you can implant a microchip underneath your dog's skin, and that chip would be like an identification collar. When a "tagged" pet is lost, its ID chip could be read by a local pet shelter (or whatever). Some would say it's spooky, but I can't help but think that if we had this kind of thing when I was a child, I might have seen Caesar again.

Some individuals will take ramifications and applications to the extreme by saying that one day, these chips would be implanted into human beings. We'd be tracked--our every move being watched by "Big Brother." But I can't help but wonder how many less kidnappings would occur? How many people with amnesia would be reunited with their loved ones? The idea isn't TOTALLY bad.

Windows Hardware Sensors Monitor v2.4.0.4 [240k] FREE W9x/NT4

Power Users: you're just not satisfied until your system is running as fast as possible. Oh, you'd overclock your stove if it could be done, wouldn't you? Just make sure it doesn't get TOO hot. So, you've seen other utilities which will help you monitor your motherboard's stats? This monitors parameters that are collected only "by LM75, LM78, LM79 or Winbond 83781 chips installed on modern motherboards." It has a small memory footprint and will reside in your system tray for easy access. You can also program alarms to go off when "thresholds" are passed. If you have no idea what that means, then this program isn't for you.

Souser Sound Association v2.0 [191k] FREE W9x

When I launch a certain program, I want a certain sound to play. Have you ever said this to yourself? Out loud? If so, you need to get out more. Or, you could download Souser Sound Association! It's relatively simple to connect a "sound" to a specific program's launching (or closing) with this sucker. I'd also suggest the more annoying "Noisy Mouse" program, which allows you to configure sounds for your right & left mouse buttons (every time you click them). Sounds like tons of fun!

The 53rd most asked question on the Internet: where did you get those cool scripts? Answer: ScriptSearch.com! Anyone can find these kinds of scripts with their script search engine: C/C++, Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP/FI, Remote Host, Tcl, Unix Shell, VBScript, & Visual Basic! Find the perfect script in no time at all--or just swing by and take a look at what you could "easily" add to your site. Plus, if you've got scripts of your own, you can submit them (if it weren't for scripters, this site wouldn't exist).

THEME: Grannie's Kitchen [2.3M]

True story: I used to eat Kraft Macaroni & Cheese all the time. As a child, that's all I would ingest for lunch & supper. One night, I went over to my Grandma's house and she served HOMEMADE macaroni & cheese. As most of the world knows, it ain't the same. Since then, I haven't touched anything with macaroni in it.

GnomeTIP

Try to spend one day online without searching for something on a search engine (or using search software to seek stuff). If you're looking for something with more than one word, try throwing quotes around the term. For instance: "red rum" instead of: red rum. This little trick should especially help the search engines find exactly that for which you're looking. You can quote me on that.
