Your Favorite Useful Computer Stuff

Media Player to play all of my CDs.

ZoneAlarm

Media player sucks, check out Media Player Classic (MPC) http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ackage_id=84358

or Video LAN (Local Area Network) Connect (VLC) http://www.videolan.org/vlc . If you want something simple just get Winamp http://www.winamp.com .

ZA sucks too, get a hardware router or something. Or if you're really computer savvy http://www.smoothwall.org or the open source alternative http://www.foobar2000.org

Software, hardware... Tell us about the computer related stuff that makes you life easier/better/more fun.

For artists... I don't know how anyone can do without a Wacom tablet. I have a large one but you can get them for under $100. In addition to allowing you to draw far better than with a mouse, they can be used alleviate cramps and pains from using a mouse too much. Say good bye to RSI!!

ive been using a pocketpc or devices just like it since i was 18,spent a year with a digiboard the size of a large living room wall.

i would loooove to get my hands on a wacom tablet.

right now i just down load the art into an SD card and use my pocketpc screen .

if i manage to stay online long enough i'll try to find a way to use it as a mouse,possibly through blue tooth and remote desktop control

Explorer shell replacement.

I have to use windows on the main computer. No good DJ apps exist for any other OS yet. But if I'm forced to use it I'll use it my way. Explorer.exe uses around 30 MB of RAM when you FIRST start running it. This uses around 16 MB of RAM.

Still getting used to it, just installed it today. But I will adapt.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
