didn't even know you had a preconfigured Miranda. I probably could have 
saved myself a lot of annoyance. I'm slowly, extremely slowly, figuring 
this thing out, but I'm far from out of the woods.

Dumb question: have you actually assigned any events? There are none 
assigned by default, unless you're using a pre-packaged Miranda, like 
the one Andre has been passing around for the last couple of years.

So what do I do with the version already downloaded?

On 4/16/2009 5:09 PM, Onj wrote:

Hi.
http://onj1.andrelouis.com/programs
look there, for MirandaPreconfigured.exe.
being portable, the exe is not an installer, but a self-extracting 
archive so you simply extract it, run it from wherever you wish, and 
set up the options.
Upon first run, you will have to skip the import/export wizard by 
simply hitting escape, then entering the options with control shift o.

This can of course be changed at a later date.
Also, you wil, just once, have to click use classic mode with the Jaws 
cursor, because otherwise the new option layout is not accessible to you.
Differences from the version found on the site are, from the top of my 
head:



*created sounds for the most popular events, such as online, offline, 
incoming file transfer, file failed, weather alert


*added message logging to files on a per contact basis, (see 
miranda\MsgExport for details)


*allows auto-accept of files from your contacts, using a per contact 
directory scheme, such as miranda\received files\an...@andrelouis.com, 
assuming you were to receive a file from me for example


*added weather plugin to give weather for your city and others you may 
choose


*added the ability to announce online/offline contacts using SAPI 
through the speak.dll, must be configured by the user


*added voice-chat capability to Miranda through the use of MirandaCOM, 
which allows other users with Miranda and said plugin to communicate, 
this being equivalent to Microsoft's voice-chat in Windos Live!


That's all I can think of, probably others but that's a start.
Download is just about 4 megabites.

Any problems, contact me offlist for further help, though I am  
getting married this Saturday so will be extremely busy this weekend.
In any case, I will do my best to respond to your queeries (if any) in 
a timely manner.

Keep the Electrons Flowing and the Tubes Glowing
   Welcome to Fun with Tubes. This is a noncommercial site 
operated by Max Robinson and dedicated to passing on and preserving 
knowledge of vacuum tube circuits and techniques.


   I will post tutorials on the fundamentals of electricity and 
electronics, interesting circuits you can build with vacuum tubes and op 
amps, and I will share some of my experiences restoring antique radios and 
early electric phonographs.


   I have a master's degree in electrical engineering from the 
University of Florida 1966. My early EE classes covered vacuum tubes so I 
know what I am talking about. If you have any questions or suggestions 
feel free to email me.


   This site is as blind friendly as I can make it. All schematic 
diagrams have links to verbal descriptions.


   I am retired from Western Kentucky University where I taught 
physics and electrical engineering for 33 years. I entered the University 
of Florida in Gainesville in 1960. I signed up for my first real 
electronics course in the spring semester of 1963. It was exclusively 
about vacuum tubes. Although later courses included transistors the 
emphasis was still on tubes. I had to learn transistors and integrated 
circuits on my own after graduation. Throughout my career I missed those 
big tube circuits. They were so much easier to work on. After retiring I 
decided to start a web site and try to pass on to the younger generation 
what I knew. It has been a most gratifying experience. Hardly a day goes 
by that I don't get an email from someone asking a question or just 
thanking me for the site.

I like the idea of the Braille Rubik's Cube. I have enough vision that if I 
hold one of the regular ones up to my eyes, I can match the colors on the 
real ones. But I have a hell of a time doing even that. But then I got wise 
and just pealed off all the stickers. Heheheh! It worked yay! All the colors 
were then the same. Sorta defeats the point though, eh? Hah.


I also found the solar-powered retinal chip interesting but it seems kind of 
ironic though. Can you imagine the ads for this thing?


Solar-powered retinal implants: Just add light to get your sight. Gag!

But Braille neck ties? Braille wine and beer bottles? Do I need to read my 
label in order to drink wine or beer? Hell no. Do I need to feel Braille on 
a man's tie? Kinda strange and, um, blindy. Init? I like the spiritual idea 
behind it in that the designer is trying to open doors to understanding of 
the colors and what they represent.


This is amusing. The things people think of... Whoa.

On 10/21/2007, 12:07:44 AM EDT, rainee chugs a beer, looks up, and says:

Cassettes were all I had for years until 1995.  I had one little lone CD 
for

the longest time.



Yeah, same here. I bought my first CD player that I could call my own
for $30 at a hamfest in early 1996. It was a single Sony component thing, 
and I liked

it loads... until I broke it a few weeks after I bought it, that is. It
made big obvious clicky noises when you did manual track changes, and
the A/B repete function went clicky like a relay on the start and
end-points. It had a remote by which you could program things, and a gap
button that would insert a 1-second gap between tracks, which I thought
was really pointless at the time, especially with gapless cd's, like
Abby Road, which was left in that cd player by it's previous owner. I 
didn't
know what it was officially called, so I just called it the broke 
button.


I then bought a crappy Admiral (AKA Emerson) 5-disc changer, which I
still have, and which I'm pretty sure doesn't work anymore, for $89.
Back then, that was a deal, except for the fact that it sucked. Oh well.

By this time, I already had some of my own cd's, but I kept steeling
Ryan's portable to play them, since I didn't have one up until that
point. Until I broke it just after Christmas 1995, Ryan had this big ol' 
Sound Design

portable thing from 1989 that took 8 AA batteries and had a neck strap,
and had a two-hour battery life.
You had to flip a stopper switch to keep the door from flying open as
you moved, since the magnetic spindel on top was the only thing keeping
it together. Absolutely no shock protection at all.
It had a digital clock and a dedicated line out as well as headphone out
though, so it was worth it for that I guess.
Although, people that could read things told me that when I keyed up my
2-meter HT, the clock would go at about 10 times the normal rate.
Fun!

Only a couple gray hairs?
You poor thing!  My heart just bleeds for you!  hehhehhehehhha
I am a year older than you, and I've probably got enough gray in my hair 
so that I could share!
Damn my mom for giving me that little piece of wonderful from her side of 
the family!  *laughing*  Ah well. That's what they invented color for!
Now I can be a blond, and folks can't see the grey, and yes, we really do 
have more fun--only I get to have more, because mine isn't real.


But back to the 80's...
Wow does this make me feel ancient!
I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one that called those 976 joke 
numbers and the one for Santa at Christmas.  Of course, I also remember 
when my brother decided to play on the phone and he called a few of the 
not-so-nice 976 numbers as well.  I thought that our family was going to 
get cut one short!
I remember how totally awesome it seemed at the time, when I was in school 
and we got the Apple 2E that big huge thing with the enormous floppies 
that seemed fast back then because of course I didn't know any different, 
but compared to what we've got now, of course, it really didn't do much. 
LOL


Cartoons aren't cool on Saturday mornings like they used to be, and I 
remember my step brother and I singing along with, of all things, School 
House Rock!  Yes, even back then , I was really good at getting in touch 
with my inner dork!
Follow your bliss, and the universe will open doors where there were only 
windows.

That's damn funny. But here's the thing. I remember having a microwave 
very
early on in the 80s. It had one of those knobs on it. My dad also had 
those

really old Tandy computers and a five-meg hard drive back in the way early
80s. I remember there was a light switch on the wall that lead down to the
basement where my dad had his computer and that switch was connected to 
the
power down there. Well my mommy raised me to always turn off the lights. 
So

well, I did. Boy was he mad when all of a sudden, the power was just, uh,
gone when he was working.

When I was little, I had a stereo with a turntable, an eight track, and a
cassette deck. And I could record on the eight tracks and I found this 
very

amusing to record over stuff. We had these old Motorola phones where the
part of it that found the channels would sit in the trunk of your car and
you had to use these switches in the phone up front in order to find
channels to use on whatever network thing it was. When you picked up the
handset, you had to flip these switches up and down and wait to hear a 
voice
say things like, Detroit, Detroit, Detroit. I will have to ask my dad 
what

that thing was called.

We have video from when I was six, in 1981 and my dad tells me that the
quality of the video from those old camcorders was really grainy back 
then.


Amy and I were recently talking about how much we loved Saturday morning
cartoons on ABC and USA. I remember when Nicalodion played cool stuff Like
Pinwheel and Bell and Sebastian. God I loved those damn shows! That was 
back

in the days of, You Can't Do That on Television. Then, promptly at 8 PM,
Nicolodian was off the air.

I remember when Friday night prime time TV meant watching Benson and
Webster! And Tuesday night prime time TV meant watching Happy Days and
Three's
Company.

I remember calling the Joke of the Day 1 (976) numbers and at Christmas

meant calling something with GR, in it.

This, was, funny!

What's even worse though, is that for the longest time even when i was in 
college we had no internet at the school that I went to, so you still had 
to go to the library, or contact RFB and try to get them to help you with 
your research.  It, was, a, pain!
We had an Atari 2600, and while the graphics did blow from what I 
understand, it was cool because those things were totally easy to play if 
you couldn't see.
Every Friday night in my house, my brother, step-brother, my parents, and 
I, would have our version of a sort of family game night, which involved a 
sort of tournament version of playing Atari.  It lasted at least, until 
Knight Rider came on.  LOL

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their
tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were
growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school
every morning  uphill
BOTH ways .. yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was
no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on
kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!

But now that...

I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look
around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy!
I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how
good you've got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we
wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and
look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!

There was no email! ! We had to actually write somebody a
letter .. with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across
the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a
week to get there!

There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you
had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and
the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!

We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the
phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone
rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your
mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent,
you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances,
mister!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games
like Space Invaders and asteroids and the graphics sucked ass!
Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!
And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen
forever!
And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder
and faster and faster until you died! . Just like LIFE!

When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some
old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you
were just screwed!

Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15
channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You
had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!

You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off
your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was
no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday
Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for
cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up, we
had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire ... imagine that!
If we wanted popcorn, we

On 10/20/2007, 11:36:22 AM EDT, Mary spouted forth:


what about those film strips
where someone had to turn this knob every time the tape beeped that
came  with the film strip.


Ah, boring manual frame advancement. I always thought those things were
incredibly boring and a very large waste of space and energy.
They had those combination projector/tape decks, and some of them had 
decent speakers, at least, to make up for their bulk and general boring
nature, but there are much more efficient ways of doing that sort of 
thing.


Of course, at the same time, we had laser disks. It was fun when the
laser disk player decided to play all of the available audio tracks at
once, which gives you simultaneous English and Spanish versions of the
spoken/dialogue on most of those little-person school things. It was
particularly cool when it was based on something that was very obviously
in English, like the Apollo moon missions, and there were clips of the
ground control, and of course the famous one small step for man thing,
which they of course had to let through straight. They did have things
quite synchronized, and because of the cool mono tv we had, and the way
the tracks were done on the disk, all that stuff just went right out of
phase and died, so you were left with some very odd residual things.
That is, until the boring person figured out how to make the Spanish track 
go away...

I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how
good you've got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we
wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and
look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!

There was no email! ! We had to actually write somebody a
letter .. with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across
the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a
week to get there!

There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you
had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and
the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning

I started listening in the middle of Shrek. I wish we could set up a 
24/7 movie, TV, audio book, audio drama station. I'd call it Audioplex 
or something else like that. I've streamed movies for people before, and 
just kept it going all day long... but eventually I had to kill the feed 
so I could do my show or listen to other stuff.

The Talk2 List THE HORROR OF LURKING

2007-09-28 Thread rainee
I got this from another list, and though I don't have issues with so-called 
lurkers on a purely informational list like what I have, I couldn't help but 
laugh at this.




DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!!

You haven't been LURKING in this group have you? OH DEAR!! Haven't you 
ever

wondered why lurkers are seldom heard from again after they have been
removed from a group for non-participation? I tell ya, the truth can be a
scary SCARY thing!! Don't let this happen to you

Read on to discover the horrors and dangers of being a lurker!

Susan was found to be lurking in a group, she hadn't shared a thing for
months and disregarded the notices from the group mods  owners. After 
she

was removed from the group... The very same afternoon... She was walking
down the sidewalk when her panties got in a bunch. As she struggled to 
free

herself from the merciless wedgy she was enduring, the elastic waistband
snapped causing her skivvies to fall down around her ankles! She wobbled 
a
couple of steps and tripped over her underpants and fell face first into 
a
fresh pile of elephant poo left behind from a passing traveling circus! 
The
elephant poo acted like an oil slick sending Susan skidding out of 
control
with her drawers flailing around her ankles until she plopped down an 
open

manhole cover and was flushed out to sea never to be heard from again!

Ron was once a lurker too. He was a mild mannered midget from New Guinea. 
He
too ignored the notices of participation from the group owners  mods. 
After
being booted from the group, he mysteriously went missing for years! 
Three

years later, his shrunken head was found on a bobble head figurine at a
trinket shop near the Mexican border! His head was then returned to his
family with 20 Pesos and a bottle of Jose Cuervo!

John was also a lurker who ignored the owners and mods. One day on his 
walk

home from a long night at his job as the local bingo caller, he was
assaulted by a troupe of angry nuns! They pelted him with bingo chips 
until
he learned to share stats and email jokes with others online. To this 
day,

John still has a nervous twitch and freaks out every time he hears an old
woman shout BINGO! causing him to fall to the floor and cower in the 
fetal
position under his desk! His therapist also states he has an unusual 
phobia

to penguins now as a result!

Fred too befell a similar fate as the rest for lurking in groups. He had
belonged to a fantasy group but had not shared a thing with anyone in 
weeks

and frequently neglected to answer his emails. After he was unsubbed from
the group, he was sitting at his kitchen table grumbling to himself over 
a
bowl of Lucky Charms cereal. When suddenly his underpants were invaded 
and
overtaken by leprechauns! The clever little gnomes magically made off 
with

his family jewels and Fred then spent the rest of his days chasing
rainbows in the hopes of one day recovering his long lost Mr. Winky  
the

boys. He eventually went insane from an incurable case of phantom jock
itch!

Lastly, there is the story of Claudia. A simple and quiet secretary from
Idaho who was very much concerned with her appearance. She could often be
found sitting in front of her web cam using it to watch herself apply
mascara and lip stick instead of snagging and sharing like a good group
member ought to. After she found herself banned from her favorite group 
for

neglecting to participate she became terribly distraught and developed
severe abdominal pains! She was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and was
rushed to a local hospital. Unfortunately the doctor's handwriting was so
poor that the surgeon misread it and instead of removing her appendix, he
formed a large penis on her face in place of her nose! She can now be 
found

working as the aardvark woman in a popular freak show in Albania!
We won't even discuss what happens when she sneezes!

DON'T LET TRAGEDIES SUCH AS THIS BEFALL YOU!!! PARTICIPATE IN YOUR
GROUPS!..

SHARE SHARE SHARE!

Hey, Patrick Perdue, you quit telling by brother-in-law lies.  Nobody, 
including you, who are supposed to know yourself better than anyone, second 
only to God, can try to tell me that you're not spontaneous.  Anyone who's 
ever played music with you has seen your spontaneous side.  Need more proof? 
Three words:  Things and Stuff.  That program wouldn't be what it is at all 
if you weren't spontaneous.  Hey, you might not like certain types of 
change.  We all have certain types of change that drive us crazy.  But that 
doesn't mean you're not spontaneous.

and, with much unnecessary flourishing, wrote:



Having another copy of myself with a different name and a
vagina wouldn't work, because what new things are there to learn and

if the people are too similar?


I don't like learning new things, I like making old things better. As
some on this list will know, I am boarder-line autistic, and we autees?
uh, well... anyway, we don't like spontaneity much.

Exploration is also a pain, because then you realize things about
yourself that you'd rather not know, much less display to the rest of
the world, and you find things about
other people that you thought you could trust, and find reasons as to
why they may not be  so trustworthy after all. It's better
to let life run it's course and get yourself screwed up without knowing
it, rather than seeking all avenues and being smart about it. Pretend
you are more sheltered than you are, ask no favors, and don't give to
anyone, for anything, ever. Doing so may cause bad chain reactions to
occur in future, which, after a point, you may be powerless to stop.

Nebraska senator sues God Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers filed 
suit against God Friday, asking a court to order the Almighty and his 
followers to stop making terrorist threats.



The suit (.
pdf
), filed in a Nebraska district court, contends that God, along with his 
followers of all persuasions, has made and continues to make terroristic 
threats
of grave harm to innumerable persons. Those threats are credible given 
God's history, Chambers' complaint says.


Chambers, in a fit of alliteration, also accuses God of causing fearsome 
floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, 
pestilential
plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth 
defects, and the like.

Hi all

I really enjoyed reading that Ad Lib that Rainee sent in the other day.  I 
love doing those myself, but it's even funnier reading someone else's. 
Here's perhaps the funniest one I've come up with.  The thing with this one 
is that I found I was always putting in the same words, so I started doing 
themed ones.  This one was themed on anything to do with food.  Check out 
how it starts and ends.  It wasn't planned, it just worked out that way:


Party On

When invited to a party at a cabbage's house, you should always bring a 
biscuit. This will make you seem especially delicious, and may even get you 
some
baked beans. Don't talk too greedily, and don't ever sit on the plumb 
pudding. Don't dance too tastily, and don't cook anything that's in the 
potato. At the end of the party, be sure to eat your host before saying yum 
yum! and driving home.


For anyone who wants to have a go at creating a silly story, but doesn't 
know the link, just try this:

Have fun!

 There's a place on the web where you can do something similar to the mad 
 libs that people used to do at school, where you choose particular words 
 before you get to read the story, and themn those words fill in the blanks
 
 and you can come up with some really crazy stuff, as I have done.  See 
 below.


 Job Cover Letter

 I am qualified for this job because I'm charming. I got a college 
 education at rockingham and I majored in hellos. I consider myself very 
 complex because
 I'm a doob. I'll be working to support my wife and our three gur doobs. 
 I'm looking for a job that pays between 2 and 500 dollars a year.

 I have experience using helloish waffles and a fwoof. I have a bad-for-you
 
 attitude that makes me good for no-helloing. I think these, among many 
 other
 qualifications, make me the most grumpy candidate for this job.

 Sincerely,

 Ooi Tooi Pooi Fiddleeo-2

Re: The Talk2 List CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BLIND

buddies.

Subject: The Talk2 List CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BLIND




CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BLIND

The English language with its wealth of idiomatic expressions makes the 
following deductions concerning the characteristics of the blind and their 
daily activities possible


They may be excused for being forgetful because out of sight is out of 
mind.


They are very happy; what the eye does not see the heart does not grieve.

They are also very affectionate because love is blind.

They often ignore things by turning a blind eye to them.

They may be ignorant because they are in the dark about things, but do not 
underestimate them; they've got it all taped.


They are very friendly people and like to keep in touch.

They also tend to have a real feeling for the world round about them 
though they may not be able always to see eye to eye with certain 
situations.


They may also sometimes lose sight of certain facts but do not 
underestimate their vision. Despite being blind they can still look 
forward to something and see you next week.


You may not always be able to make them see what you mean, but they still 
are able to have their own view.


They are not blind to their own faults, nor to the faults of others. You 
can try putting the wool over their eyes, but you may find that very 
difficult.


They are so good at what they do that they can do it with their eyes 
closed but if they try to burn the candle at both ends, they may burn 
their fingers.


Their medium of writing is easily spotted, is not pointless, in fact there 
is very much point in using braille and it is outstanding.


Blind people enjoy a social life. However, one must bear in mind that if 
you take someone on a date, it will always be a blind date.


If they have too much alcohol they may get blind drunk.

Be warned: their rage and fear will always be blind rage and blind fear.

When walking down the street at a fast pace with a white object being 
tapped about, they could be called hurricanes.


An uneven pavement can be a real stumbling block.

Blind alleys will not be too much of a problem. They never walk with 
blinkers on but they walk by faith and not by sight.


If you were to come across blind people from Venice they would probably be 
called Venetian blinds.


They are not allowed to drive, but it might be possible, provided they 
stick to blind rises and go round blind corners. Blind spots would not


present a problem for them and at night they will not be blinded by the 
lights of other vehicles.


These are blind facts but I hope that no-one finds the subject too 
touching and do not be so blind as those that will not see.


Perhaps all this has been an eye opener to someone. May we all not lose 
sight of the fact that we are living in the age of so-called enlightenment 
where visionary leadership is very important and where care must be taken 
not to be blinded by things that are unimportant. Hopefully all this has 
provided some light relief.
