RE: BetterMSN 0.B.0
Run time error 7, out of memory does NOT mean your computer is out of memory, that's sadly a really bad error message thats a hangover from Win 3.1 and people with 4Mb of RAM. Please download the latest version, its still called 0.B.0, but I've act... | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 02-13-2003 at 12:56 PM |

RE: NickEXP!2.1 -- Released.
If its any consolation to Taz, this happens with BetterName as well on a small number of systems, and I have no idea why, and I haven't been able to fix it. If you do come up with a solution then let me know. | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 02-12-2003 at 11:56 PM |
RE: BetterMSN / Msg++ released!!!
You have to extract preserving directory structure, not using Drag and Drop. On WinZip just use the extract button, you should see the directory "bin" created. This is my fault because I should have written an installer - an update with an installe... | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 02-10-2003 at 10:39 AM |
RE: NickEXP!2 -- Released.
I'm not making stuff up, take a look at this screen shot. While yours if you go over too many characters it looks crap, mine dynamically preserves the formatting, allowing you to go much higher. Hopefully this should explain what I mean... You've i... | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 02-01-2003 at 11:15 AM |
RE: NickEXP!2 -- Released.
These are not slagging it off, but suggestions for how to improve it... The illegal nick name changer is OK, but not great, the one I am developing does it automatically, by using a list of banned words and not relying on the user identifying them.

RE: NickEXP!2 -- Released.
I didn't say that NickExp was rubbish, I just said it was worse than BetterName in every way, which I think was an objective opinion. If this has encouraged you to make a better nick changer then good. If this has offended you then sorry. I'll down... | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-31-2003 at 07:08 PM |
RE: BetterName - Plus! Nick Formatter (better than NickEXP!)
I prefer if people link to the download page rather than host it themselves, so I can release new versions without having to tell loads of people. Of course when I finish my autoupdating its not such a big deal, but that is taking quite a while... | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-30-2003 at 07:38 PM |
RE: Tweak Plus! news (19/02: final steps...)
Currently the date format is complicated but I can say with certainty which date corresponds to which text. If you allow the formatting people will be able to have 01/02/03 for 1 Feb 2003 2 Jan 2003 1 Mar 2002 3 Jan 2002 2 Mar 2001 3 Feb 2001 Which i... | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-30-2003 at 07:34 PM |
RE: Tweak Plus! news (19/02: final steps...)
Cool btw. one tweak I really [b]don't[/b] want you to add is to change the logging date format, that would really complicate the log viewer (I know you know the key for this) Any chance of seeing either some code or a copy of the program? I think ev... | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-30-2003 at 03:31 PM |
RE: BetterName - Plus! Nick Formatter (better than NickEXP!)
That actually looks very good, but until I get the proper installer technology into BetterMSN I can't distribute additional DLL's without breaking it. Anyway, it seems to be open source, so I should be able to steal what I need from it :) | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-30-2003 at 03:17 PM |
RE: BetterName - Plus! Nick Formatter (better than NickEXP!)
Thanks [white] shark, I'll look into that. Sadly its not quite as easy because I'm doing it through VB, which doesn't let me access it directly, but that may still get it. | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-29-2003 at 02:13 PM |
RE: BetterName - Plus! Nick Formatter (better than NickEXP!)
Currently it is a standalone app, you get the dialog I have a screenshot of and that's it. In the future it will move into BetterMSN, hopefully for the next release or the one after than, anyway within a month at the very most. I may continue to mai... | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-29-2003 at 01:19 AM |
RE: BetterName - Plus! Nick Formatter (better than NickEXP!)
I realise it needs this, and the only problem is the user interface, getting it to do a real time preview with a background gradient is a lot harder, although I think I can with quite a bit of effort. For the moment, you have a choice, either no real... | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-29-2003 at 12:26 AM |
BetterName - Plus! Nick Formatter (better than NickEXP!)
Its my new Plus! nick formatter, I am not just copying the other ones, it is genuinely better than them :P And I had some work done on it ages ago, ever since Chrono changed his screen name to have formatting codes in it.

RE: Tweak Plus! cancelled
I think the intention is just to tweak registry values that Patchou has setup for people to tweak - like the date format in the contact logs, check for updates etc. | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-23-2003 at 07:48 PM |
RE: Tweak Plus! cancelled
Not wanting to disrespect Patchou etc. but... You don't need Patchou's permission to write a Tweak Plus! program, in the same way he didn't need MS's to write MSN Messenger Plus! Also the kind of stuff you do in tweak Plus! is fairly mundane, and... | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-20-2003 at 12:29 AM |

Either IM or email me (neil _ _ mitchell@hotmail.com - note the 2 underscores) with full details of how it doesn't work (i.e. what error message, what happens/doesn't happen) and I'm sure I'll be able to get it working for you. | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 01-01-2003 at 02:53 PM |
RE: BetterMSN / Msg++ released!!!
Separate thingy, you can view the results when they are offiically released, I'm not quite sure where yet, but I will ask, and will definately post it. | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 12-31-2002 at 01:14 AM |
RE: BetterMSN / Msg++ released!!!
No idea (not me if that's what you were asking), but it will be on a publically available place in the next few days, I'll post a URL when it is (Patchou won two sexiest awards as well, on for best agent and one for best professional addon) | ginge | Skype & Live Messenger | 12-31-2002 at 01:05 AM |
