123  Anything Else / Totally OT / Re: Have you backed up your computer lately? on: 12-May-12, 02:23:30 PM
This week's forum disaster reminded me I was due for a full backup.  Just sharing the reminder...  nerd

My PC is always asking me to back up my files. Where do they back up to? I have all my pics on memory sticks but that's about it.

You may want to look into getting an external hard drive - kind of expensive now due to recent floods in Thailand which destroyed hard drive factories.  I like Western Digital and Seagate.  Watch for deals at places such as newegg.com.  You need to be on their email list to get the best promos. 

Windows includes a backup function and many external hard drives will come with backup software.  I prefer the free and easy Karen's Replicator (http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptreplicator.asp)

Happy Birthday Donna!  I know I'll always find something of interest here when I check in.

Was that window shade/blind open last year?  I can't imagine Q&K being happy with the nearness of their human neighbors.

Y'all know what Murphy says......with all that lovely camera set-up at Times Square....
she will probably choose the Powers nest!!

Seems like I've read here that the tiercel chooses the nest site.  It that's the case, maybe Archer will introduce her to TS.

I was a part of a proud and ever vigilant USAF crew (commonly known as "scope dopes") that monitored radar screens watching for the Soviet missile onslaught that never came.  At Thule, we were truly warriors in the "cold" war.  And we played a lot of pinochle!

I spent a year at Thule AB, Greenland in '72 & '73.  The only birds I remember were the giant ravens that populated the BMEWS radar site (http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/systems/bmews.htm), and "Old Crow" in a bottle.  The running joke was that the ravens were mere sparrows before flying through the BMEWS radar screen radiation fields.

Eerie!....I looked them up just last week after hearing one of their songs on the Country Classics station.

135  Anything Else / Totally OT / Snippage on: 19-Jan-12, 12:01:19 AM
I found a neat little free application that may come in handy during the upcoming nesting season.  With "Snippage" (http://snippage.gabocorp.com/) you can run a portion of any web site in its own little window, separate from your browser.  You can work on spreadsheets, word processing, email, Facebook, etc while keeping an eye on a favorite web site.  Snippage runs in and requires "Adobe AIR" (http://get.adobe.com/air/otherversions/).  I use "Always On Top Maker" (http://www.fadsoft.net/AlwaysOnTopMaker.htm#always-on-top-maker) to keep the Snippage window on top of other work.  All software is free and passed my Avast & Prevx virus and spyware scans with no problems.  Adobe AIR and Snippage work with Windows and Mac; Always on Top Maker is Windows only.

This screen capture video shows a Snippage window I made to display the Rfalconcam streaming main camera.  Note that the next box view stays on top when moving between browser tabs and when switching programs.
