9.23.98 - GnomeNEWS

In the beginning... NOT the VERY beginning, but "long" before the Internet was a household term... there used to be this e-mail list distributed by a fellow by the name of Scott Yanoff. It had "everything" in it. Of course, this was also before web pages were common. There were FTP sites, gopher sites, and e-mail addresses, but without knowing what they were... well, you can't use something if you don't know how to access it.

But you never hear about that list anymore. I mean, it was one of the biggest Internet resources at one time. And then there was Yahoo... remember when the web address had a tilde in it? Anyway, it started out as a great "personal" project, but has (at this day) died a horrible death due to over-commercialization. Yes, it's a web brand, and has every right to make money from its services... but you can't get listed in there anymore, and it's impossible to get your already-existing listing updated.

I use Yahoo, but if you look for Lockergnome there, you'll find that it has the description still listing for our long-dead MacOS e-zine. I have requested countless times over the last one and a half years for them to change it. Has it happened? Duh, no. What happened to the "personal" touch? It's gone. That's why Newhoo.com impresses me much more... I love knowing who I have to deal with on the other end. Don't you?

GnomePROGRAM

Taskbar Activate v2.1 [25k] FREE W9x/NT4

Belly up, belly up to the TASKbar boys (and girls). The Taskbar is something we use just about every day (and depending on what you do, it's probably the most often accessed "thing" in Windows. But it isn't as user friendly as it could possibly be. Taskbar Activate allows for "enhanced" activation and deactivation of the Windows taskbar. Now you can set a delay time for when the Taskbar appears, and force it to the top (even when running certain full-screen and 'always on top' windows). Yes, admittedly CTRL+ESC (or the WinKey) will bring up the Start Menu, but what if you'd rather use your mouse? And just when you didn't want to know how many times you actually used the Taskbar, this version will show you honest statistics. Barry nifty!

1-15 Slider Puzzle v1.0 [52k] FREE W9x

Apparently, before I could walk, I was putting together simple puzzles. It wasn't long before I graduated to more complicated games... like slider puzzles! I'm sure you've toyed with these before. They can be a bit frustrating (but they're a heck of a lot easier to solve than Rubik's Cube). The object of this game is to arrange the pieces in numerical order (from 1 to 15). Of course, I'm assuming you've played this type of game before in real life (so giving the instructions might be redundant). This particular binary version has time tracking and the ability to save & load games. Slide it onto your hard drive!

GnomeFAVORITE

The Looney Tunes Express

Weekday afternoons were often spent in front of the trusty television. Bugs Bunny & Friends used to be a favorite show; even if I had seen the cartoon before, I still wanted another five-minute excuse not to do my long division homework. To this day, I have yet to use long division in the "real world." If Daffy Duck means more to you than a quotient, you'll go wacko with all the stuff on this fan site. Find several "Looney" WAV & MIDI files, wallpapers, webcards, icons, games, and startup & shutdown screens. Plus, a plethora of related information is at your fingertips. Don't touch that dial!

THEME: As Good as it Gets [4.1M]

If you haven't rented the movie yet, get it tonight. Helen Hot... er, Helen Hunt does a pretty good job (I'm Mad About Her, although not as mad as my friend Dave Gabel). And who can resist the charm of good ol' Jack? If you like those two actors, then this (rather large) theme will be happy on your hard drive. Quit obsessing and download it already.

GnomeTIP

I've seen several screen shot programs floating out there, but why bother with them when Windows 9x has a 'camera' built in? That's right! Hit the Print Screen key right now... nothing will appear to happen. However, now open up a graphics program (like Paintbrush) and hit the paste button. You should find a bitmap of the screen as it was when you hit the Print Screen key! Or, if you just want a screen shot of a particular window (not the whole screen), select the window of which you want a shot and hold onto the ALT key when you press the Print Screen key.
