Find and Run Robot Has FansFind and run robot is really the best implementation of a quick run command line program I've come across and I'm sure I've tried most of them. I don't know if you've tried the others out there yourself but 'find and run robot' definitely beats them.. Find and run is just perfect - if I can think of anything that might improve it I'll let you know. Really love the ONE key shortcut key for it - genius. Really love not having to set it all up for what words that are relevant for which programs. Really love the context menu to open up folders for particular listed files.

Windows 10 free upgrade loophole closing in DecemberThere is still a way to upgrade to Windows 10 for free, but there won't be for long.. If you haven’t yet switched to Windows 10, either by upgrading your current PC or by buying a new one, it’s not too late to do so for free. That is if you’re reading this before the end of 2017, when Microsoft has decided to end free Windows 10 upgrades for good. So, you’d best act quickly… Unfortunately for anyone yet to take advantage of the assistive technologies workaround, Microsoft has announced it’s ending the free upgrade offer on December 31, 2017... http://www.makeuseof...ndows-10-free-quick/ |

NANY 2018 Pledge: Codenames Duet Play on Paper CloneThis is a play-on-paper clone of an awesome two-player cooperative word-based board game called Codenames Duet.
https://boardgamegee...24037/codenames-duet Basic rules of the game:
My version does things differently since I designed it to be played on paper, but the basic idea is the same. The created pdf books have some brief instructions but to learn more how to play see the official detailed rules of Codenames Duet: https://czechgames.c...es-duet-rules-en.pdf What I chose to do is write some fairly flexible code that makes print-and-play "books" (pdf files) that can be split up between two players, who can then play the entire game with paper and pencil. Each page is a separate game/puzzle. The code can make random books of any size and with difference configuration parameters. I'll open source the code at NANY time but for now here are two sample books. Remember that each player gets their own book -- you can't look at the book of your partner!! If you feel like trying a game (or 10), these two booklets are all you need. Print them and give each player a book and a pen and you are good to go: [ Invalid Attachment ] [ Invalid Attachment ] |

Awkward humor videosI can't get enough of comedians who employ these awkward pauses, etc. Think the British version of "The Office", etc. My latest favorite -- a big long series by Tim Heidecker, "On Cinema at the Cinema": https://www.youtube....oDTYwY7v_V12KJfQueXZ If anyone has other similar awkward, subtle, comedy shows they'd like to share, I'm all ears. |
