11.2.98 - GnomeNEWS

I referred to it (briefly) a few issues back, but I'm not sure if most of you completely understood. I've recently been getting a small stream of subscriber challenges, so I figured it was about time I "launched" it again. This time, it's a little different. I haven't collected any money from writing Lockergnome over the last several months (due to lack of advertising, etc.). This has put my pocketbook in a severe bind.

Earlier this year, a subscriber issued a challenge to the rest of you. He offered VOLUNTARILY to send in a couple of dollars (checks or cash) to help support Lockergnome's effort. The result: a couple hundred people sent in 'challenges' ranging from $1 to $50. That helped my costs tremendously, as well as let me know that I was really "touching" your lives. So, if you've ever been helped by Lockergnome (or something in Lockergnome) at least once, please consider accepting the Lockergnome challenge...

And yes, I report it all to the IRS. No "funny" business here. If you want to see who has already accepted the challenge, swing by the official Lockergnome Challenge page. Nobody's twisting your arm to do this, but it would be very much appreciated. I put my blood, sweat, and tears into each and every issue. And I'm not trying to sound pathetic; remember, other subscribers have challenged you--not me. I'd love to get thousands of responses this time around. The mailing address is:

Netscape Full-Screen v1.0 [32k] W9x/NT4 FREE

How big is your monitor? If you answered with 14" or less, you might want to set aside a couple of bucks to upgrade to a larger monitor. Why? Because as screen real estate grows, so does productivity. You can have more windows open at the same time, see more on the screen at the same time, probably get better refresh rates (to keep those 60Mhz headaches away). Okay, so if you can't upgrade your monitor, you might as well get as much out of it as possible. That is to say, browse the web in full-screen mode. Internet Explorer 4.x users have the ability built-in, but Netscape users are out of luck... unless you download this free utility! So, if you have Netscape 4.02 or higher, you can use this to maximize your browsing experience. Stop wasting those pixels...

MicroSoft ScriptIt v97d [264k] NT4 FREE
Found by Jurgen Debedts

"Microsoft(r) ScriptIt is a command-line utility for automating interactive software installations and system configuration tasks. ScriptIt works by monitoring the window titles of active processes. When it finds a window with which it should interact, it sends a set of keystrokes to that window. ScriptIt uses the window title or a combination of the window title and text that appears on controls within the window to identify the window that will receive the keystrokes. The use of the window title combined with text allows ScriptIt to differentiate between multiple windows that have the same title bar."

Fruit Picker v1.6 [372k] W9x FREE

I've never been much of a fruit eater; I don't have a sweet tooth. Don't worry, though, I try to get my daily dose of veggies. While you may not care about what I eat, please don't throw fruit at me. In this game, you're a little blue creature; you have to gather food (fruit) for your village. You get the fruit by throwing other fruits into the trees--then you must group all of one type of fruit together. "When you get three fruits of the same type together, or two sets of two fruits of the same type together, all of that type of fruit will fall from the tree." Sounds fruity, but that's the point.

Poor Richard's Web Site News

If I had a nickel for every e-mail message I've received regarding how to start a website, I'd be ready to retire by now. Peter Kent has put together a book called "Poor Richard's Web Site" -- I hope to review it in a later issue. However, this link is particularly for his free e-mail newsletter, aptly titled: Poor Richard's Web Site News. If you're not sure where to start in regards to making your own website, maintaining it, and then promoting it, start with this e-zine. And, in case you were wondering, it's perfect for both novices and professionals!

FONT: Moonbow [4k]

Did the cow jump really over the moon? Perhaps he smacked into a satellite on his way there. And how, exactly, did the cow escape Earth's orbit? Was it shot out of a bow, much like an arrow would be? I honestly doubt that the average bovine has strong enough legs to launch itself into orbit. That's just not possible, people. I don't care what breed of cattle.

GnomeTIP

When you need to step away from your computer for a second, sometimes you have to wait for the screen saver to kick in so that nobody will see what you're working on. Instead of invoking it through the "preview" method, try creating a shortcut for a screen saver (of your choice) on your Desktop. That way, when you're ready for it to kick in, all you have to do is click a shortcut. No other program is necessary--just that simple shortcut. You can turn your screen saver on whenever you want--without loading a third-party utility to do it for you. How's that for a resource saver?
