10.14.98 - GnomeNEWS

WARNING: Today's News rates a 8.2 out of 10 on the CPIE scale.

A while back, one of the Lockergnome subscribers issued a challenge to the rest of you. If you can't remember, swing by the Lockergnome Challenge page. In fact, hundreds of you responded (and consequently accepted) the challenge. They still trickle in to this day, and I appreciate every one of them. I'm more proud of that stack of envelopes than I am of anything I've written in this forum. Too cool, gang. You're the best!

I mentioned in a recent weekly edition that Gretchen and I couldn't afford to take a honeymoon (true). After saying that, a few of you extended offers to visit far-away places: New Zealand, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Egypt, Brazil, Chile, Alaska, Russia, France, etc.. I'm overwhelmed by YOUR hospitality (and appreciate the gesture). Anyway, I got a letter in the mail today from another subscriber, who has (in essence) started our "Honeymoon fund." It was the FIRST wedding "present" to be sent from a Lockergnome subscriber. Here's a public thanks, Mr. Starkey.

Lockergnome is beyond just a "facts" publication, and several of you recognize that. The only thing I can ever ask of you is to read it and spread the word. If I'm another "human connection" in your world of confusing gizmos and outdated gadgets, then I've done my job correctly. As much as I've touched your lives (and computers), you've touched mine. But don't touch my computer too much, because... well, I don't like it when people touch my computer.

CloseAll v1.0 [32k] W9x/NT4 FREE

The day Windows 98 was released, I heard an angry customer shout from across the computer store: "Hey Microsoft! You make a better door than you do a Window!" Most of the other geeks laughed, and some of us cried. I'm not to say whether or not there was truth to that upset user's statement, but I know that there are plenty of Windows open on my machine at any given time. Ever run into a situation where you suddenly need to close everything down (to reboot, or just to turn off your PC)? Use CloseAll! Just one click and all of your apps will be closed (you'll be prompted to save if necessary). This could be handy if there's a major thunderstorm rolling in and you need to shut down immediately w/o losing any information. A close call!

WallMaster v1.9b [860k] W9x/NT4 FREE

Sounds like another horror movie, doesn't it? Ya know, from the people who brought you the Doormaster & Doormaster II? Or what about from the people who brought you the Thighmaster? Sorry, none of the above. This master will help you configure, change, rotate, and manage your Desktop wallpaper. Use different graphic formats, customize the position of the graphic, and program the wallpaper to change automatically after a specified period of time! There's even internal support for gamma correction (to fix images that are too dark to be seen on your screen). There's so much more this free version can do, and it's "shareware brother" (Wallmaster Pro) can do even more!

Creepy Halloween Fonts
Found by Joseph Strohsahl

I think my computer is haunted. No, wait... it's just my Fonts folder. See, there was this little guy named "Jim" who lived in there. And, he died a couple days ago (I didn't do it--you can pin the murder on me). It doesn't smell, but RigorMortis.TTF hasn't set in quite yet. If your PC doesn't have enough Halloweenish typefaces, then you're missing out on half the fun. Perhaps if I keep throwing these spooky fonts in there, the now-dead Jim's spirit will be appeased. If not, then I guess I'll have to reinstall Windows to get rid of that little Lockerghoul. And once he's gone, I can rent out the folder to some other little guy. Poor Jim...

FONT: Arcade Dingbats [35k]

What person can say they survived the early days of coin-op machines without losing a few quarters here and there? Some people spent all their waking hours holding onto a joystick (you know, the kind with buttons). What ever happened to those old video game characters we came to know and love? They moved into this font! You'll get hooked all over again. Now, if you named your first born, "Mario," and your second born, "Luigi," and your third born, "Kong," then you have serious problems
