9.25.98 - GnomeNEWS

I had the pleasure of receiving a rather interesting e-mail message the other day. It was from a guy who used to torment me in high school. You know--the bully type? He was wondering how my business was doing, if life was treating me well... and if I could help him with a few computer problems. Now, what do you think I did at that point?

First, I laughed out loud. I laughed harder than I ever have before. Then, after nearly killing myself with laughter, I started laughing again. But, then I realized I should probably stop and send this guy some sort of answer. The question is: how would I word my response? Should I lace it with sarcasm, as I did in high school? Should I return the message back to him with the wrong instructions? Should I not even bother with him?

I proved to the world that I'm a nice guy. I started out by telling him how I was doing (perhaps embellishing a little bit in the process). Then I preceded to tell him what he needed to do to ramify the situation. Of course, I wasn't very "user friendly" in my description, but I guess that's what he deserves for making fun of the geeks of the world.

And I was sure to add, at the end of my message: "PS: Look who's laughing now."

Zip Up The Web v1.0 [1.3M] FREE W9x/NT4

So, you're surfing around and you see a web page that you'd love to save on your hard drive. But, without going through and saving each individual component, you would suck up a ton of time (especially if there are a lot of graphics on that page). Or, what if you're afraid a page is going to disappear off of a site, and you want to make sure you have a copy of it before it's gone? Zip it up with this program! It's quick and simple to do--and the page, in it's entirety, will be archived for later use. If you're looking for a more functional web page snagger & annotator, be sure to check out Zip Up The Web's big brother: Hot Off The Web. Either one of these programs would make good additions to your Internet utility arsenal.

Uncle Debi's Calendar Wallpaper

All of us have a Desktop, but not everyone maximizes it's potential. Sure, you can have a few icons here and there, but what about a background image? Fancy patterns are pretty, but they really don't increase productivity. We can agree not to use the resource-sucking Active Desktop, so what else is out there? Uncle Debi's Calendar Wallpapers! No matter what month we happen to be in, Debi has a wallpaper ready for you to use (free of charge). They come in three sizes: 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 (which are the most common resolutions for Windows Desktops). There is even a Halloween Wallpaper 1998 Pack ready to be downloaded!

J-Track Real-time Satellite Tracker (Java)

If you've never seen a satellite travel across the sky (with your naked eye), then you're missing out on an incredible experience. Well, it's not THAT spectacular, but it's rather cool to see a "star-like" object travel on a straight trajectory (best viewed ~10pm CST). Here's a great informative Java applet that'll track and display over five hundred specific satellites (in their Earth orbit). You can rotate the 3D image around to get a better view, get detailed info on any given satellite, and zoom in and out. This isn't limited to just United States satellites, either! You'll find yourself orbiting around this applet for a while.

THEME: Cherished Teddies [1.8M]

Hey all you macho men out there--if you don't have a sensitive side... well, then I guess you don't cry as much as the average sensitive guy. These teddy bears are perfect for the cuddly-wuddly personality in all of us. I'm a macho man, I'm not afraid to admit it. Oh wait... MACHO. I thought I said NACHO. I'm a Nacho man. I love nachos.

GnomeTIP

I used to live at the command prompt. After I started using Windows 9x, I stopped dropping to DOS so much. I don't play many games, and I've slowly but surely replaced most my old utilities with new 32-bit ones. But when I need a command prompt, I simply type "Command" under Run in the Start Menu. You can toggle between full screen and a windowed command prompt by hitting ALT+Enter. Your wish is its command!
