10.2.98 - GnomeNEWS

Pop-up windows, I'll admit, are completely annoying. They get in the way of my "regular" surfing. Just an example of how a potentially "great" option was overused and abused. I understand their purpose, but disagree with their implementation. The idea is to throw advertisements at the web surfer. However, seldom does a pop-up window see the light of day on my screen; I close them now without thinking twice. Yes, it's important for sites (large and small) to have sponsors, but they shouldn't let them get in the way of delivering their primary service. I *DO* support banner advertisements.

You'll never see me feature an "ad buster" program in Lockergnome. Why would I? I need to put bread on my table, too. And, since you aren't being charged a subscription fee, how else can I continue to deliver "good" information to your Desktop? Banner ads, textual ads... sponsors that basically keep several Internet services operational. You don't have to click on ANYTHING--I'm not forcing you to do that, and I'll never ask you to do that directly. I'd just like you to remember that some of us don't have million-dollar budgets...

Dialog Answer v1.10 [180k] FREE W9x/NT4

Answering machines are extremely helpful... especially if you eat so much pizza that you can't get up off the couch to answer the phone before the caller hangs up. Anyway, what if a program would automatically "push the buttons" for you when certain windows or dialog boxes pop up on your screen? Then you'd save some time by automating the process. Here's a configurable util that will watch for a pre-defined window (or dialog box) to pop up, and when that happens, it will "send simulated keystrokes" to it or run a program. You can perform window searches, define group actions, run the program minimized (or hidden), and log all events and actions. Don't press that button--let this program do it for you.

Crop Circles v1.0 [6.9M] SW$20 W9x
Found by a Lockergnome Subscriber

I believe that intelligent life exists somewhere else in the universe. C'mon gang... we can't be the ONLY sentient beings! As a race, we're not that incredibly intelligent (wars, pollution, Windows 98, etc.). As far as crop circles are concerned? Well, that's pretty much been proven to be a man-made thing. But what if it ISN'T?! In Crop Circles (Escape From Planet 3), you're the pilot of a flying saucer. Your job is to create (if you couldn't have guessed) Crop Circles in the fields while steering clear of farmers, government agents, and snap-happy photographers. Fuel your ship by stealing cows (much more efficient than gasoline)--but stay away from the "mad" cows. Moo!

Stationery Template Maker

When Outlook Express hobbled along, it brought with it something called "Stationery." They're like ultra-cool HTML mail messages. The problem is: unless you are an HTML genius, it is difficult to create anything advanced to use for Stationery. So this guy decides to create an awesome online page (with ActiveX components) to help you make your own Stationery. It's relatively simple to do, and in a matter of minutes, you'll have HTML mail ready to go. It's a free service, so you're really only limited by your imagination and design talents!

FONT: Teenick [47k]

Where's the filling? This font certainly doesn't have any. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't download it. If you're looking for an explosive (and non-corrosive) font for your documents, then feast your eyes on the sparkliest font I've found in a long while. Careful not to burn your fingers on this font--and be sure to have a fire extinguisher handy.

GnomeTIP

The Recent Documents menu used to annoy me. However, I stopped resisting it once IE4 (and W98) hit the streets. It seemed that I only wanted certain Documents in there (and not others). Well, no matter what you're running, you can always open the "Recent" folder in the Windows directory and delete the shortcuts you don't want in the menu, or (with IE4 or W98) you can right-click and delete the ones you don't want straight from the Documents menu (in the Start Menu). Thanks for reminding me, Jeff!
