Samurize - what an excellent program

SexyGreyFox · 12 Feb 2008 at 16:52

Yeah, I know, I'm a million years behind but I've just found a use for it.
I needed something that would show my gig list when I updated it from a text file and after Googling it came up with Samurize.
Of course I'd seen many threads years ago about it but thought it was for monitoring hardware etc.
So I also decided a todo.txt file would be useful and a few bits of monitoring.

Heres my config and if anybody has got something useful I could do then suggest away - Screen grab

I've been trying to get a RSS Reader to work but had no luck yet.
I wanted to use this : http://www.shortnews.com/rss/All.xml so if anybody can lead me in the right direction I'll be grateful.

I'm also a few million years behind.

I've known of Samurize for ages, I just can't think of anything to use it for and even if I did I've no idea what I'm doing with Samurize. I looked at it a while ago and just exploded my brain.

Plagiarism is the greatest form of flattery and knicking somebody elses ideas works a treat.
I built mine on top of one called Glass.

Lol

That might just work!

How did you find the Glass version? Google?

Its here : http://www.samurize.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=18&lid=1926 BUT it says its already a part of Samurize.
So after installing Samurize right click on the Tray Icon, go to select Config File, then to Glass and then click on Glass Calibri.
Then right click on Icon again and go to Edit Config File.

Have fun

Lol....he means he can see your ip in the screengrab you posted.

I feel awful for knowing that....

Edit: There will probably be a RSS feeder plugin script if you look on the samurize website.

Just an update to show what my screen looks like now - My Desktop
I have dual screen and usually watch films on the left side.
Still had no luck with RSS and I've downloaded 3 of them.
I'll stick with Google Reader.

MarcLister · 12 Feb 2008 at 22:28

That looks good dmpoole.

I won't have resource usage information on mine, I can easily find that in other ways. And I have Rainlendar for diary so I might just try some RSS feeds on mine. Would like to have the Stephen Fry blog on my desktop.

I tried Rainlender for about 6 months but I found Google Calender so much better.

media player classic is so much nicer than wmp for videos

I'm rapidly liking MPC over VLC! :eek:

I watched The Bridge On The River Kwai two weeks ago. It was about 2 hours 35 minutes long but VLC only showed about 1 hour 15 mins.

Couldn't find the other track at all. Tried MPC and it just found the whole film and played it fine.

More and more DVDs are tripping VLC up and yet MPC plays them no probs.

Just added some blue and red LEDs for my 6 hard drives - blue for read and red for write.

Going to find a program that writes to your hard drives then reads from them in a continous series? Make your desktop look like the blue lights on a police car!

Nee-nor-nee-nor.
