I've cancelled my WoW subscription currently, so can't answer that, really. I would think you could use the Periodic Table (pt) rule functions to match the pigments:

If in doubt you can go into Edit Mode in ArkInventory then check the details on one of your pigments and see what it would match against.

Re: Drobo FS: Not so “Plug and Play” as advertised

I haven't looked into the Dropbear issues since installation. My best bet is to look at the logfile that is generated in the Dropbear App folder to troubleshoot the issue.

Hey, I've run into the same issue with my Drobo Pro FS. I'm ssh'ed in (using Dropbear), and the connection suddenly drops. Subsequent attempts to connect are met with a terse 'Connection refused' statement.

The disconnection occurred once when I was in the middle of a large file transfer, but has also happened when I had nothing but the terminal open and was doing admin work (looking at /etc/groups).

Brian, do you have a sense of why the dropoff/refusal-to-reconnect occurs?

Thanks!

Yea, it seems that the latest versions of ArkInventory require quotes, the earlier versions of ArkInventory didn't.

Awesome guide... I had as slot for soulbound items, but got sick of fishing though them to find stuff that wasn't part of my set to vendor/DE and this helped me a lot. One modification, however: equip(Tabard) should be equip("Tabard") with quotes. This may apply to some of the others, but I'm not sure as I have not tried.

Re: iPad som et arbejdsredskab

@Hamsteren
Man skal have børnehænder for at kunne bruge 10-finger systemet, også i landscape. 4-6-finger systemet kan lige gå.

WordPress App'en er ca. 3 sekunder bagud ift. den hastighed jeg kan skrive. Apples salgsgimmick med at det er en erstatning for en bærbar computer, hvis det bare er tekstbehandling, holder ikke. Den kan på ingen måde hamle op med en bærbar computers tastatur eller tekstbehandlingsprogram. Det samme gælder sletning af tegn, der er den endnu sløvere.

Hvis man så skal ind midt i teksten og rette noget, så skal man først slås med iPads markerings system, derefter lige slås med dens ordbog igen.Og det er det jeg mener med navigering i dokumenter, at man skal sidde of fifle med at ramme helt rigtigt, eller sidder og holde fingeren nede et sekund for at få luppen frem, fremfor blot lige at markere i området og så bruge pilene til resten. Det er ganske simpelt alt alt alt for langsomt og besværligt, hvis man rent faktisk gerne vil have opgaven klaret hurtigt og tilfredsstillende.

Jeg er efterhånden ikke uvant til at skrive på den. I forhold til et ordentlig tastatur, jo så er jeg uvant, så bliver jeg aldrig "vant". Det er samme grund til at jeg ikke gider at skrive SMS'er. Det sløve lort har jeg ikke tålmodigheden til i længden.

Jeg tror ikke engang DU kommer udenom at det primært er et stykke legetøj, og en fjern sekundær et seriøst arbejdsredskab. Den er ganske simpelt for dyr til det den er god til, nemlig web-browsing og let spil, synes jeg.

Re: iPad som et arbejdsredskab

Hamsteren — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 03:42:11 -0000

10 fingersystem fungerer perfekt på iPad'en sålænge du har den i landscape mode, så kan man altså skrive pænt hurtigt på den.

Wordpress app'en er noget skrammel ja, men hvis det har taget dig en time at skrive den her post så siger det vidst mest om dine evner på en iPad, tager nok ikke meget mere end 10-15min max hvis man ved hvad man laver.

Den er glimrende til at fjernstyre servere/vmware etc. med, til at læse mails, se film, høre musik, streame ting fra nettet og mange andre ting.

Ja den stinker til at læse bøger på og ja iPhone/iPad ordbogen er totalt til grin og noget af det første man slår fra overhovedet.

Navigeringen rundt i dokumenterne tager ikke specielt lang tid når man først har lært hvordan. Mange af dine problemer er ganske simpelt at du ikke er vant til at bruge den ;)

Of all the hosting companies I've tried out Surftown is clearly the best :)

Thanks Stefano Savanelli for the Google Apps Button for email. However the button keeps disappearing. I'm using Firefox and usually when I close FF and reopen, the button has disappeared. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Re: function array_natsort()

Uwe — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:50:14 -0000

Hi,

arsort($arrSort); didn't work for me, when sorting DESC way.

I found out, using array_reverse works fine while keeping the indexes

// if the sort type is descending
if ($strSortType=="desc")
// reverse the array
{
$arySort = array_reverse($arySort,true);
}

Greetings,
Uwe

Also found this link for how to get mailto links to work with Google Apps. Not tested it yet, will do ASAP though. Just writing it here to remind myself ;)
http://techblog.appirio.com/20...

Tested it. Make sure to disable Google Toolbar handling mailto links, it seems to block the process otherwise.

@Stefano Savanelli
Super awesome. I've updated the main post to include a link to the Google Code page with your button.

Thanks for the help! In the current version of Firefox I could not get the fire-tool value to work as you have suggested. Just in case anyone else is having the same problem, "firetool-mail:https://mail.google.com/a/MYDO..." ended up working for me just fine.

Hi I am stuck here,

Open about:config and locate “google.toolbar.mailto.providers.Gmail” (filtering by “gmail” makes it easier to find).

where do i find this file????

Hi,

This is fantastic! Has anyone worked out how to do it in Internet Explorer? I have an old non-techie family member who would not cope well with me switching him over firefox...

It looks like it is controlled in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Toolbar\ but I can't crack it!

Thanks,

Gabriel

@Roger
Just add the "&tf=1" variable to the URL, that should do the trick (I've revised the article to include this. Formatted it a bit better while I was at it :)

@Andre
Unless I'm missing something, and if I am please enlighten me, what you're referring to is not "logging into the Google services with Google Apps account". You're just creating a new Google account using the e-mail address from your Google Apps. It's 2 separate accounts that just happens to share the same e-mail address.

Brian, this is very close fix to the problem us Google Apps users are having with Google not supporting their paying customers with a proper toolbar. After setting every thing up as you have shown, when clicking the window, it opens another tab that has the full Gmail (Google apps) home page showing with the folders, labels, and such. I was hoping it would just be the small compose window, or even the full tab, but just the compose. I've found a add-on called Email This! that lets you use google apps to email webpages, and it only opens the compose window, albeit in a full tab. Any chance you could refine your about:config mod to accomplish this? Only because if it's the full Gmail page with a compose window, you compose your email, then click send, a small message on top says "Your message has been sent. View message", then disappears after a bit without closing the compose window. It's confusing if you come back to that window, click send again, now you've sent two messages. Email This! blanks the page and has the message, so there's no mistake.

Thanks for your work, hope you have time to look at this!!
