On Screen Status Display?

blog clipart
Ok has anyone used a Logitech Keyboard with volume controlor a Microsoft one for that fact, well wen the drivers are installed long with the software, if you change the volume it shows up in the on Screen as to what volume level you are at.

now i have a new wireless creative keyboard but they dont supply any software with that sort of functionally, so i was wondering could someone do something like this.

basically it is a display that  shows on screen the status of the volume, the logitech one is best it is a big green thing at the bottom, it has VOLUME and underneath that a bar that changes when the volume changes, the windows one is a little window thing with it in but it looks ugly. Although i have found programs that do this the problem is that they dont stay underneath a game if it is running they take focus and the game minimizes, it is poor. But still you want the status to display ontop of programs like a web browser or media player just not in the game.

if anyone can make something like this it would be greatly appreciated.

Directory Opus 9

Screenshot - 4_11_2007 , 5_50_33 PM_thumb.png
Here is some exciting news for DOpus fans, version 9 will be released on April 27th. Upgrade information is listed below and here is a preview of the new version.

...
    * Directory Opus 9 will be available for purchase and upgrade on April 27.
    * All registered users will be notified when the product is available for official upgrade. (DO check that your email address you have registered with us is up-to-date. Otherwise you may miss the important notice of your upgrade rights. You may check your registered details from the Licence Manager on the Support page.
    * There will be no increase in price for the new product. Pricing will remain the same at AUS$85.00 for a single Licence. (Around US$60-65 - unless the US dollar drops even further through the floor as it has been doing recently!)
    * All users who purchased after December 1, 2006 will automatically receive a free upgrade.
    * The upgrade pricing for all other users of Opus 8 will be AUS$50.00 for a single Licence with a sliding scale for extra licences.
    * A discounted upgrade will also be available for registered users of Opus 6. Pricing to be announced.
    * Version 9 has a new Licence which allows a registered user to also install the program on one personal laptop.
    * You will be able to run Opus from an external USB flash drive with the new licensing scheme. A USB export Licence will be required for each USB flash drive a cost of AUS$10.00 per Licence per device. These will be able for purchase at the time of order of the new version for new and existing users as required.

ps1. i think dc members are still entitled to a 20% discount on directory opus.
ps2. that upgrade policy sounds very harsh (all purchases before dec 2006 have to pay to upgrade.. not even a year amnesty? yuck).
ps3. remember that these are AUStralian dollar amounts -- it's cheaper in US dollars.

KMPlayer and GOMPlayer

blog clipart
I'm revisiting two excellent Korean media players that are surprising me with their polish and their small footprints. The KMPlayer doesn't even require installation, so you can throw it on a thumbdrive and take it and your media collection with you (you'll need to move the your preferred language .ini file out of the lang folder into the main program directory because the default is Korean). haven't played around with either of them that much, but what I am seeing so far is impressive. My mp3s sound great in both with no augmentation (add-ins or equalization) and they both handle a wide range of video as well. GOMPlayer is more polished but requires installation. It uses significantly fewer resources than the KMPlayer, though...

Ah well, who cares, right? I'm having fun playing around with both of them! I'm still using XMPlay as my default music player, for now.

easm - The Win32 Assembler School Project

http.jpg
The Epsilon Assembler (easm) is a Win32 assembler whose main focus is Windows application development. I am developing easm as my final year degree project and I wanted to introduce the project to a wider audience and generate some interest.

The assembler is still in very early stages and currently only supports a small percentage of the overall design. In saying this however, easm is capable of creating some interesting things in its current state. My aim is to develop the project, even after it has served the educational purpose that it was created for, to be a fully functional assembler with little to no limits.

I have released a BETA version of easm on the project website (http://e-asm.org) in the hope that people will test the assembler and  report any potential bugs. Bug reporting is particularly important at this stage as I need some evidence that the application has been tested.

...

easm makes extensive use of Win32 'imports' in order to import functionality from existing code, residing in dynamic link libraries. It is possible to import pretty much any function from any DLL (given its name) and then invoke the function in easm. This produces a huge library of inherited code, much like other languages have access to.
