If one is fluent in a number of other computer languages - say, Visual Basic or Python for instance. By any stretch of logic, should one therefore start posting coding solutions in these other programming languages? For forum members coding in Lua? On a Lua orientated forum?

Sigh. Think I might just give up, and go over to a Ruby-On-Rails forum where they all speak Spanish. And practice my Lua programming over there - in French maybe.

Exactly which part of the concept of "This is an English speaking forum" are people having trouble with?

Sigh.

@colc,

Just been playing around with FastStone Capture. It's quite remarkable. ScreenCapture, ScreenRecorder, ImageEditor & VideoEditor, ALL-in-ONE!. And packed into a tiny 3.2mb installer that extracts to just 11mb worth of program files. Wow, it's kind of like the TARDIS from Dr Who, isn't it? (Its outward appearance really belies its inner secrets!) Is there anything it doesn't do?
LOL, I wonder if it time-travels like the TARDIS, too?

Nice find, buddy. Soared straight to the top of my list of favourite apps. And will be regularly used once I get the hang of all its intricacies.


Many thanks. This one's going straight to the pool-room!

hi Bio I am using FastStone Capture Vers8.9, Hey just captured Faststone with Greenshot another good prog(free) ...

Awesome! Thanks, colc. I'll check those out. Am quite smitten by your label graphics. LOL.

@telco,
I'm not familiar with the intricacies of network drive-mapping, so can't help you there, buddy. I'd imagine the Glebe0id is probably way better informed on the topic and therefore more equipped to handle your query. So will leave you in his capable hands!

Hello guys.. i have a problem.. my desktop has no password, but when i try to create a map drive it ask me a password.. What password should i enter?

Nice screencapping, colc. Can I ask what program you're using to add those very nice label graphics to your screencaps? Or is that a trade secret, LOL?

[telco]

thanks colc i will try that if my sister returned my laptop..
Thank you

[colc]

OK mate got it sorted. A few things to remember that your has to have permissions for read & write
Also a good youtube on how to map drive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXEM_IROqpw
For setting up network and mapping drive just google, here's a couple of pics saves a hundred word



Pic1 is say Computer1 and pic2 Computer2 - my mapped drive computer2 [running apz] is Z so the path to Comp1 file is Z:\\Shared\\Data.txt
Also I included a small sample below
