Reply to I want to learn how to use ObjectBar in ObjectBar WinCustomize Forums

I was thinking about this. If development is dependent on the number of users then there must be a way to break the circle. If skinners start making cool skins for this app again, then that may attract more users and maybe that allows Jeff to update ObjectBar more often. Lobbying and keeping threads like this alive is all you can do. ;)

Island Dog... I want to donate a WC subscription too. PM me with the details. I don't need to know the personal history. I am sure you can handle that discretely.

Any proper beer there, Jafo? ;) Found that adapter for your camera yet? Have a good time there, sir. :)

I think those numbers aren't worth much. Especially in games. There is more to it than these abstract numbers to get games running smooth. Keeping your drivers up to date is one thing to improve the stability and sometimes performance. It's free and easy to do. Tweaking the eyecandy in a game or application is another. That one requires a little time and experimentation. You'll soon get the hang of it. The amount of RAM is important. These days yo

Hi there, Larry. Looking forward to it. :)

@Zubaz... Hehe.. Those skins are still around? LOL. I was wondering... Does WBAmp still work or do I need to create a new one? :P Thanks for the welcome back! @Snowman... Four, hey? You've been busy. :) I'll have look at Facebook. I hope I don't need to create an account there to see the pictures. Not a fan of sites like that. I'll certainly try to have a look. :)

Mr WOM :) Thanks for the beer, I am doing fine, sir. How are things going in Texas? Great to see you are still around. :) I might drop by in IRC this weekend. Don't count on it tonight. Looks like I have a couple of reboots to do. :)

Reply to I couldn't take it anymore... in Everything Else WinCustomize Forums

Too bad your router is giving you issues. I had some problems with my connection too. Bought a wireless LinkSys thingie recently. That one is OK. It seems my line has hickups, but the LinkSys is spoofing the connection, so it fixed the issue. I am cutting back on IRC. But I do still frequent some dutch channels. Idling in IRC and gaming don't mix. ;) I'll try to give IRC a shot, but don't expect me to hangout 24/7. :P Thanks

Hi there, Snowy! Live's been good to me. :) Good to see that you are still on the job here. Everything OK with you? Woah. I am not sure if I am able to select a skin. It's almost impossible to choose from all this great stuff. Do you recommend something, sir? I like it dark (and no green!). :)

I couldn't take it anymore... in Everything Else WinCustomize Forums

... So, I figured it was time to renew my OD and WC subscriptions. :) Everything looks great so far! OD is better than ever. The quality of the skins on this site is still great. The only problem I now have is: What on Earth do I pick! ;) Cleaned up my destop (only 3 icons left), installed all the OD apps I used to love. Ordered some chinese food. Ready to browse all this new stuff. This going to be a long night... :p

I agree. It's always great when you are treated well at a customer service. Here's what happend to me: Last friday at 16:00 my ISP disconnected me. I called their customer service and found out that I missed a bill a couple of months ago. They said if I was able to pay today they would reconnect me. I explained that in that case I had to hurry because the local postoffice where I could make a transfer closed at 17:00. The guy told me not worry. He would reconnect me straight away if I p

Information Paradox Solved? in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

After nearly 30 years of arguing that a black hole destroys everything that falls into it, Stephen Hawking is saying he was wrong. It seems that black holes may after all allow information within them to escape. Hawking will present his latest finding at a conference in Ireland next week. The about-turn might cost Hawking, a physicist at the University of Cam

Reply to Give ObjectMedia Some Love in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I can make you guys a new build next week. Currently I have a new job which keeps me very busy. Stardock is still a hobby project for me, and due to the new job there weren't many updates. At one point both WB and DX broke OM/DXPlayer, so I virtually gave up. Great to hear you guys like the player. I don't get many reactions like that.

Reply to Object Media in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Werewolf... OM doesn't do anything to WB. In fact WB does do something to OM. Maybe this has something to do with it. OM does not support CD-audio. I have a version which supports CD-audio, but since both WB and DX have broken OM I think it's better to quit its development. Sorry.

Thanks guys. About the ObjectDesktop menu: Whenever you move the ObjectDesktop menu in the start menu the plugin will be unable to find it. That's probably what happened to you.
