12.21.1998 - GnomeREPORT

I've got tons of little things to say, so I figured I'd wrap them up in today's report. The first thing: Christmas is coming up this week, and Maximized Software has released Christmas Browser 99. With it, you can surf the web Holidays style. If you enter "lockergnome98" (without the quotes) in the special Order Code field when you register, you'll save $5 on registration!

I don't think that there are enough links to Lockergnome.com out there. Why not? I see all the other major shareware sites have links to them, so why not Lockergnome? If you've got a website, you can put a link to Lockergnome there! In fact, I've set up the HTML code for you already--visit the Lockergnome Options page for instructions. E-mail me if you want to put a Lockergnome subscription form on your site--I can show you how to do that, too!

Thanks to William Bontrager (Lockergnomie), we have a new & improved recommend form. I used his free CGI script: MasterRecommend. Setup was surprisingly easy (and I'm not a programmer). Use this recommend form to tell your friends about Lockergnome today!

Update on the Lockergnome Challenge: THANK YOU. The list of supporters has just about doubled, I'm proud to say. You've enabled me to do some things that I otherwise couldn't have done. Check out the list of Lockergnome supporters--are you on the list?

Some of you have wondered where the Daily Defrag has gone. Well, let's just say it's in a "cocoon" phase right now. I want to do a longer show that'll include interviews with software developers--but I have to figure out how to record our phone interviews first. Expect the transmogrification to be complete in a month or so. It should emerge then as the "Audio Defrag".

I wanted to mention (because I haven't for a long while) that I'm still very impressed with my Virtual Web Service: DigitalDaze. We've been working together for a little over two years now, and I have yet to be disappointed. They're fast, efficient, and quite friendly. If your web service keeps restricting your bandwidth, consider dropping DigitalDaze a line. Tell them I sent ya.

Lockergnome is listed at the eZines Database. They've got tons of other great Zines there, too. I don't know if you've had the chance to "vote" for Lockergnome yet, but Click Here to do so. 5 is the best, 1 is the worst. Then you can swing by ActivePC and vote for Lockergnome for "site of the year". We'll call today "Super Monday" or something.

GnomePROGRAM

PrintFolder v1.0 [455k] W9x/NT FREE

A computer without a printer is like a car without a radio. Sure, it'll work, but the experience isn't quite as fun. Think of all those things you can print: web pages, documents, Christmas cards, etc.. But what about printing the contents of your folders? There are roundabout ways of doing this, but why go through the extra work when this freebie will do it for you? Select any folder and PrintFolder will print a list of the files within it (and their details). Other freebies are available for download at the author's website.

Modem Attempts to Dial When Windows Starts

"When you start Windows, your modem may attempt to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP)." There are a handful of possible causes listed here; if you're having this "problem", this page might help you fix it.

Winter Holiday Graphics
Found by William Joslin

Everyone wants to update their website (and possibly HTML e-mails) with Holiday cheer. Well, unless you're the Grinch. I spent half a day looking for a good "Holiday Graphics" site to mention in Lockergnome, but eventually a subscriber pointed me in the right direction. While the design isn't award-winning, there are tons of different graphics (and other Holiday media) available for download here--most of which are animated GIF images. I hope they don't melt when spring rolls around!

GnomeFAVORITE

TelephonyWorld.com

How is the telephone going to change in the next few years? How will Internet phones be used? I think we've only begun to see the power of global communications. If you want to follow what's happening with computer telephony & the Communications industry, I suggest you visit TelephonyWorld. Learn about the technology, the trends, specific telephony products, end-user and corporate solutions, and (quite a bit) more. I've yet to find a more comprehensive (and well designed) resource online.

THEME: Hegelund's Christmas [1.4M]

There hasn't been much snow (so far) in Iowa this winter. I admit that I really do miss that flaky white stuff. Seems like I'm the only one who does around here. Of course, I spend most of my day in front of a computer, but when I venture outside these beige walls, it's nice to have a change of scenery. It's been very difficult to get into a "holiday mood" without having snow sitting outside. At least this theme cheers me up--great wallpaper!

GnomeTIP

When is a tip not really a tip? When I'm asking you to submit your favorite tips, programs, or websites to Lockergnome! I typically don't use submissions which have already been seen in Lockergnome, and just because something is submitted doesn't mean that you'll see it in an issue. I give credit where credit is due; some of the best Lockergnome stuff has been submitted by subscribers! Just swing by http://www.lockergnome.com/submit.html or e-mail submit@lockergnome.com!
