I like Traeger Web Solutions myself (as suggested by TCH-Jim), Traeger Group sounds like a group of lawyers or something. Traeger Technologies sounds like maybe you make, sell or distribute computer parts to me. Traeger Communications... hm.. maybe.. kinda makes me think of cell phones, but people do communicate over the web. Toss up between Traeger Web Solutions and Traeger Communications. Why not Traeger Web Development? you said so yourself: hope that helps, !!blue

I saw the same post by HG and was confused as well. I don't think I was gone from the forums for very long, so it must have happened pretty quickly. Congratulations to TCH-MikeJ (formerly Big Gorilla) on your new "promotion"! What an honor to be invited to join the TCH staff. Thumbs Up I was confused too! Congrats MikeJ on your new title! Guess we need all the help we can get and it looks like we'll keep on getting the best! later, !!blue

Great to see everyone and put a face to a name! Ooohh, everyone is looking good! Thumbs Up I'm loving all the new & exciting changes taking place. I have now more things at my disposal when I talk up TCH to people! Keep up the great work! later, !!blue

that makes sense, but I wouldn't know how to do it It's like my Spanish, I can read it but I can't write it. I'll try to search for another cookie; what if I changed the html page by removing function from the body "onLoad" and did the html link like this: ><a href="index2.html" onClick="setCookie('Preference','index2.html',365)">flash version</a> so the pages link AND the preference is set. but I guess that wouldn't work when the user returns on another visit (?). meh, !!blue

Network Solutions, and everyone tells me I paid a mint more then I should have... oh well.

So I found a cookie script that's pretty simple which saves a user's preference for a page. Here's the JS code: >function getCookie(NameOfCookie){ if (document.cookie.length > 0) { begin = document.cookie.indexOf(NameOfCookie+"="); if (begin != -1) { begin += NameOfCookie.length+1; end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin); if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length; return unescape(document.cookie.substring(begin, end)); } } return null; } function setCookie(NameOfCookie, value, expiredays) { var ExpireDate = new Date(); ExpireDate.setTime(ExpireDate.getTime() + (expiredays * 24 * 3600 * 1000)); document.cookie = NameOfCookie + "=" + escape(value) + ((expiredays == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + ExpireDate.toGMTString()); } function delCookie (NameOfCookie) { if (getCookie(NameOfCookie)) { document.cookie = NameOfCookie + "=" + "; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-03 00:00:01 GMT"; } } function DoTheCookie() { Preference=getCookie('Preference'); if (Preference!=null) { window.location.href="http://exampleaddress.com/"+Preference; } else { window.location.href="http://exampleaddresss.com/index.html"; } } in the HTML page the body tags is like this: ><body onload="preloadImages(); DoTheCookie();"> the preloadImages is another function somewhere else... Then the html link for one page is like so: ><a href="#" onClick="setCookie('Preference','index2.html',365)">flash version</a> so, the cookie does save the users' preference but it keeps reloading the page incessantly instead of only once! I think its the body onLoad function, but I don't know enough! feel free to use the code, I found it online; it just didn't come with a lot of explanation. story of my life. thanks a mil, !!blue

Found a menu bar that's free (with restrictions of course): brainjar: revenge of the menubar add it to your list of menubars.... I do know it doesn't work in Netscape 4.7 (but not too many things do these days ) later, !!blue

Like Melanie said in Gone with the Wind, "The happiest days are when babies are born!" Congratulations later, !!blue

I feel so silly that I didn't think of this before: in Windows, I can create a folder and place my shortcuts there and then place that folder on my taskbar. Just right-click anywhere on the taskbar and I went to Toolbars > New Toolbar... One of my friends pointed it out to me ever so subtley :Nerd: later, !!blue

One time a comedian I was watching on tv was saying that this is why Americans are so fat. We don't hunt our food anymore; he said something like, "You try hunting down a rabbit for five days and see how much weight you lose!" So I see your point but I still like being human Maybe I should be a vampire so I can really be on top of the food chain! woooot

My favorite subs are from Potbelly's!! Yuuummm...

Real? A Zebra b/c of the bold lines Fake? A Dragon b/c of the fire breathing But I like being human, top of the food chain man! later, !!blue

I don't know either, but, let me tell you that I hope someone got fired over that one It reminds me of bad videos you find over the web like the Charlie Brown version of Outkast's "Hey Ya!" or those VH1 clips of singing & rocking kitties. But that Quizno's one? .... It's just bizzare.... it was only funny once. later, !!blue

Ok, using Macromedia Director I created a simple interface with buttons that, when clicked, will open programs. (screenshot below showing the flash button in it's rollover state, but the screenshot didn't capture the hand icon, oops) <edit> if image is not above, link here www.geocities.com/amor_veneno/tinyEXE.gif</edit> This file is an executable that runs just like any other program, but it has buttons that will open programs for me. So instead of having a shortcut icon for QuickTime Player, I just click on "quicktime" and it runs. I don't want to use this anymore cuz: 1- it's not easy to update; 2- I have to create button states (up, rollover, down) for any new items I do want to add then re-code the Director file. If anyone knows Director knows this is a hassle. Getting to my question Is there anything else I can use that would be easy to update and psuedo-build buttons on it's own instead of me building them? I know Flash doesn't run programs from a user's computer (see FSCommand, I *know* it cannot be done.) Ask me any questions, if what I said doesn't make any sense... I just don't want like 30 shortcut icons on my desktop but I do want stupid easy access to these shortcuts. later, !!blue

Along similar lines, my dad used to get phone calls saying something like this: "Your MasterCard account is overdue. Could I verify the amount with you and take a payment over the phone?" To which my dad would say he doesn't even have a MasterCard and they'd ask him "May I have your social security number and verify the account?" This is where my dad knew it was a scam trying to get his SSN or bank account numbers. Thank goodness my dad's smarter then to be fooled with this! later, !!blue

I think there's a way to exclude visits from TCH in your webstats, tho, so you won't get skewed results. Or am I confused in the point of this topic? lemme know Cuz i remember one time asking if I could exclude the sig file (which use to be a gif) from my AWStats cuz I believed it would give skewed results... ah, found the post of an answer here: Skipping files in AWStats later, !!blue

getting this error on rebuild: Build error in template 'Main Index': Error in <MTWeatherNWS> tag: <MTWeatherNWS>: Geo::WeatherNWS not installed correctly I got that tar file but don't know if I put the files in the right place. I put all the untarred files in the extlib/WeatherNWS folder I created. was that right? with 755 permissions?
-
inspiration(?) links. the way I see it, the TCH website has so much info, a "compartmentalized" motif might work; but that doesn't have to mean ugly.... www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=046%2F046%2Ecss very compartmentalized & clear [*] www.spot-media.de/framebase.php?flash=1 above the fold content! and a lot of it but not overwhelming [*] www.motivo.com/home/home.asp clean & clear; could use more content tho [*] www.buildingthehigh.org/index_home.html another look at "compartmentalizing" [*] www.nitrodesign.com/nd4/index.html yet another look enjoy! later, !!blue

Yeah, I wanted that one too but the link to download the WeatherNWS plugin (via mt-plugins.org) requires a log-in and password. (excuse my language but: wtf?) I hadda settle for Weather Underground, which is giving me errors on rebuild, but works some of the time... Plugin Manager sounds great, might look into that! But for now where else can I get the Weather NWS plug in to install it? Do you still have it "tarred" / zipped? (tarred, that sounds funny ) thanks, !!blue ----------------- edit ------------------ anyone know where I can get the WeatherNWS plug-in for Movable Type besides MT-plugins.org? ----------------- /edit ------------------
-
hm.... ok the weather underground doesn't come with any support docs, mainly I don't know which files go where. the weather NWS download link requires a log-in Mad!!! so... i'll try the weather underground and see if I can make tails & heads somewhere. thanks, !!blue ps: good to have u back Mitch

Hi all, I'd like to add the weather to my MT weblog, however, I can't find the piece of code I'd need to add to make it work for Chicago. I found this plugin but I need a CityID number from weather.interceptvector.com, but that website isn't working or can't be found... anyone know what I can do? I'd like to have a five day forecast type of thing with images that would show up in a pop-up window, and this plugin has these features. thanks, !!blue
