MuziK's wot weeez all'bout

I've started to upload the musical history of D.J Nash (AKA Sir Jeff, Sir Cactus, Jeff, Rita, Dwayne, Princess, Elmo)
It's an external link to a place similar to MySpace but cooler - called Multiply.
Anyways here it is :

Close Tabs similar to FireFox

When you use Ctrl-W to close a tab in Opera, it closes the tab and then goes to the most recently used tab.
There is a button on this page :
http://operawiki.info/CustomButtons
called "Close current page & switch to previous one"
This will close the current tab and open the next one, to the left of the tab just closed.
You can mimic this behaviour with a keyboard shortcut by using this command :
"Close page,,,, Caption Close & Switch to previous page"
I assigned it to "w ctrl"
You can also change the word "previous" with "next" to switch to the next tab on the right.
Also note that the previous or next tab wraps - unlike FireFox.
Close enough tho.

WGET tips

WGET examples I've used ....

The following will get a file called reports.xml from the ftp server "sirjeffssite.co.nz"
Using the user login name "username@mydomain.co.nz" (replace @ with %40)
and the password "mypassword"
and write the file to "/usr/people/sirjeff/report/reports.xml"
If the file exists it will overwite it no questions asked :smile:

wget -r -nH -P /usr/people/sirjeff/report ftp://username%40mydomain.co.nz:mypassword@sirjeffssite.co.nz/reports.xml



-r = recursive
-nH = no Host (supresses creation of host directory)
-P <path> = path to plop the file

Wait or Sleep for Win2k+

In my venture of writing DOS batch scripts I found an easy way to make a script wait a second using PING.

ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 1000 > nul
or
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 -w 1000 > nul

Neato!

Music Panel Toolbar

calling all techies ....
I've been reading a bit about the Music Panel in Opera which was around version 7.x
but is no longer :frown:
Can anyone shed some light on setting a Music Panel up for Opera 9 ?

Net Stop Beep

net stop beep - that's it - it's as simple as that!
I was thinking about unplugging the internal speaker (WinXP SP2)
Who would've guessed that the annoying beep when changing your volume (from the system tray) could be stopped by turning of a service?!
BTW, simply drop into CMD line and type
net stop beep

Golly!

Cuppy

My cup has been around for about 10 years now. He's vury purty. Has a nice layer of coffee lining the walls...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Do you want some Indian?
- Shane's line on a first date

Another Command Line Tip

On command line (testing in Win2k and WinXP) Open up notepad with "SET" information

set > x & notepad x

or Volume information

vol > x & notepad x

etc etc - I think that's a neato tip myself

Ye Olde HTMLe

Remember the old way of doing things in HTML?
Ya know, font tags and blinking text?

I discovered the following old tags ...

<FIELDSET>
  <LEGEND ALIGN=CENTER>Test Text</LEGEND>
  Testing
</FIELDSET>

Looks good in Opera and FF, but IE suxifize it.
It can be CSSified too. Ace!

New Line character for Windows Command Prompt

Wah? Yeah, thought I'd put this information here so I don't loose it! And it took me ages to find this info, so use it wisely.
In cmd prompt (tested on Win2k and WinXP) line you can simulate a return carriage or new line with CTRL-T
If you were to drop into cmd, and type :
net send %computername% "LINE ONE<CTRL-T>LINE TWO"
(replacing <CTRL-T> by pressing CTRL and T together)
You'll get a pop-up message with 'LINE ONE' on one line and 'LINE TWO' on the next.
ALT-2+0 (hold down ALT and press 2 then 0 on the number pad) does the same thing as CTRL-T
To add this to a batch file use edit.com. It allows you to press CTRL-T.
