Been meaning to point this out for a while. If you plug a Guitar Hero guitar into a Windows XP (or newer) computer, it'll seek and actually find drivers for it - from there it's just another gamepad, albeit a funny-shaped one. It will then work with Frets on Fire after you configure it to read a gamepad instead of a keyboard.

Randomly losing data with Amsn portable.

Submitted by Forlornhope on May 7, 2009 - 4:24pm

hey there for some reason my amsn portable is randomly losing emotes and data even tho its in its data files. i often copy the app from the thumb drive to my desktop; when I'm using it at home then back because I like how its self contained and easy to back up. But sometimes emotes arent available and my font and settings and everything changes back to defaults for no reason even if it was on the hard drive at the time I'll reboot and all my settings will be gone.

Making Plone 3 portable

Submitted by cioma on April 30, 2009 - 1:08pm

Well, actually "semi-portable" Smile

So for some time I've been searching for a good personal information manager. First I was using EssentialPIM, then I switch to MoinMoin (personal wiki) and then I came to Plone - a content management system (www.plone.org). The only problem was that it was rather hard to make it portable before. But since current version (3.2.2) they introduced 'buildout' - and easy way to setup and change your Plone installation. So here is the recipe:

1. download Plone windows installer (http://plone.org/products/plone)

2. extract it with Universal Extractor

On-Screen Keyboard - Cyrillic ???

Submitted by girlgeek XD on April 26, 2009 - 7:43am

Hey everybody,

I just installed the On-Screen Keyboard and was very happy to see, that you can select cyrillic font (>>>russian *g*).
But however, I can select it, but the letters on the keyboard won't change and it won't type cyrillic and the next time I open it it has even set back to western font...
Can anybody help me to get this working? This was the main reason why I installed it, so that I would have the possibility to type cyrillic on every PC I get to use...
