I hope someone gets some use out of this because words are hard!

Fix it yourself!

lil windows apps you like 2 have around. share w/me

Autohotkey - http://www.autohotkey.com/
Sometimes you need to macro some shit. yesterday I had to check in like 200 files in piece of shit sharepoint 2003 which involved clicking each file individually, choosing check-in in a drop down, then clicking OK on the resulting page, and doing it again. Better believe i got a big cup of coffee while this thing chugged through them for me.

Cmder - http://bliker.github.io/cmder/
Single tabbed-pane app to access cmd, powershell, and most importantly a linux-alike interface. hot

grepWin - http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/grepWin.html
search through subfolders for stuff

IrfanView - http://www.irfanview.com/
Still the shit for image viewing. This is the app I most wish made it to OSX

katmouse - http://ehiti.de/katmouse/
Allows you to scroll whatever pane your cursor hovers over, without activating the window. Great if you have a partially obscured window you need to scroll through as you write a post / word doc / xls / whatever

keep ass 2 - http://keepass.info/download.html
I use a password safe for work so I don't have to devote mental space to ridiculous passwords that you have to change every 3 weeks

lessmsi - http://lessmsi.activescott.com/
If you have an environment where you don't have admin, apps which are only packaged in MSI format are a fucking pain in the ass. In many cases you can just pull the files out and run with it.

mobaxterm - http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/
Learned about this one from the shack. Yeah you can use putty, but this is nice gloss, a nice side of winSCP built in. its good. I think the free version allows 20 servers to be saved.

windirstat - https://windirstat.info/
explore disk usage

Some handy sound files for checking your headphone quality:

Also the binaural test is amaaazingly good. It made me jump, I actually thought there was someone beside me knocking.

Big Skyrim graphics mod for the lazy in reply:

Game of Thrones - Epic History - The Targaryens

*Spoilers of the show if you haven't seen Season 1 or Season 2*

This video is well done and explains to you the history that is in Westeros and she explains every single bit of lore from the books that isn't in the TV show. Very Informative video.

HAPPY SIXTH BIRTHDAY TO THE SHACK[LOL] SCRIPT!

Every year I think this thing is finally dying off, and every year I'm proven wrong. Here are the numbers for total number of lols vs. all tags broken down by year:

I have no idea what the code tag is going to do with my attempt at a table ... so here's an imgur copy http://i.imgur.com/mQGfR9K.png

Update your Shack[lol] scripts!

http://lmnopc.com/greasemonkey/shack2007/shack-lol.user.js

I added [tag] and [unf] to the script. For those of you who aren't interested in seeing or using those tags, you can turn them off. When the script starts, it will run through a series of lazily programmed confirmation boxes. Follow the prompts and you can see only those buttons you're interested in.

Cross your fingers ... lol

Diablo 3 Guide*

A couple of people have expressed interest in a guide from me so I decided to take some time and give it a shot.

I’m going to keep it all in various replies so there is a good chance I will get PRL’d in the process but be patient and I should get it all posted eventually.

Introduction

In this guide I’m will try and outline the basic progression strategies as I see them. I will begin with the most basic ideas behind itemization and how gearing works at the low end and then move into how to spend time and begin progressing into more specialized builds and higher difficulties. I will also have a section focused on the end-game, how to get there and what to do once you’ve arrived.

Keep in mind that this is focused on an efficient route for progression. There are any number of ways to play the game and if you are enjoying yourself than you’re doing it right. However there may be things you can do to improve or expedite things which may allow you to enjoy yourself even more, that is what I hope comes from this.

It is also important to recognize that Diablo 3 is a game about farming, grinding, and incremental upgrades. There is no substitute for time spent in game. Spending your time efficiently can improve things but it will never be a substitute for just spending more time. There are no shortcuts when you’re first starting.

*Note: If Min / Max gameplay is not your thing then this guide may not be for you.
