Hey... is it just me, or is it really annoying that there's no easy way to display the currently playing song in Winamp in your web site?

well... worry no more, because I made a program that works on all Windows-based machines that solves this problem.

Two simple steps and you have it running:
1. Go into you Winamp preferences, under Options->Display, and make sure "Scroll song title in the Windows taskbar" is NOT checked.

2. Drop off the following program in your CGI-BIN folder.

http://141.219.76.90/ winamp_nowplaying.exe

If your server is configured right, the .exe should act as a CGI script (it outputs to STDOUT), and display the right info in the browser.

I was particularly annoyed by this, so I spent about 20 minutes making that program. Hope you guys like it.

wow........

its just you!

Now, how did I see that coming?

I have a small, but very important message to Magnus and the TICALC.org staff:

Please! Hire more file archivers! Your file archives have not been updated for quite some time!

MORE Archivers = MORE files = LESS death of the calculator community.

You guys know as well as i do that the calculator network (Shall I say, "Network") is dying.

Take a look at ti-fr (or whatever that was called). It's DEAD.

Take another look at CALC.org. It was almost DEAD.

When did TI release a new calculator? Early this year... But guess what? It was essentially a newer TI92!

I suggest that we, as calculator fanatics, and the TICALC.ORG staff ought to do the following:

- Use YOUR imagination! Don't release another version of Pheonix! (Come on, we have like a thousand versions of it!)

- I say that if you are not a programmer, or likewise, you have no right to use this forum board!

- Hire more Archivers... (I have at least 10 files waiting to be archived!)

- Hiring a news editor is a good idea, but it will take many more News "Finders" to get the job done

- File Reviewers are a must! When TICALC.ORG reviews files, people can tell the difference between a crappy program, and a true masterpeice!

That's all I have to say for now...

Although I have little sa in the calculator community, (Wait maybe not, I work @ calc.org, calcsoft.tk, tidimension.tk, etc.) I hope that this message will be passed on to you, Magnus, and the rest of you TICALC.ORG staffers...

If you want to reply to this, email me at boguscalc@yahoo.com

Why can't we just reply here? :-?

Anyway, as for "creativity" DOWNLOAD "KILL BIN LADEN" when the STUPID ARCHIVES get updated. Well, it's 95% done, so you'll have to wait another week or so ;-)

original eh? I made one wayyyyyyyyy before u did! But it was in BASIC........ I made it on 3/11/2002 6 months after 9/11!

I'm guessing they let ticalc.org die because they're tired of running it. They'll just let it go while occasionally updating the archives to keep people slightly happy.
