[How Many .mrc Files Can Be Loaded]

I think you'd be better off using the regions and goto line but to each their own.

[How Many .mrc Files Can Be Loaded]

Out of curiosity, what made you separate everything into its own file? Wouldn't it have been better to put them into (I've forgotten the mIRC term for it) regions?

 

For example:

#MySection on
if (somecode = something) { blah | moreBlah }
#MySection end

Looking good

[Is Your Hotmail Password '123456'? Not For Long]

They'll probably need to come up with another password reset system too. It never ceases to amaze me how many newbies we get in my workplace that can't enter Password1 within the limit of five attempts.

[New Tft]

I find that 1366x768 is a big step backwards. Think about it - several years ago (around 2002?) 15" TFTs were becoming the standard with 1024x768 as the screen resolution then that eventually went on to 1280x1024. These new 1366x768 resolutions are wider than they were 8yrs ago but it's the same height!!!

This is a personal opinion, mind you, so if you prefer wider to overall bigger, feel free. There are quite a few people at my workplace that prefer the slightly wider screen res for that extra column or two on their spreadsheets.

 

I would've gone the extra £10-20 for a screen resolution of... well, just bigger.

[Tg007 Audio]

If TG had a radio station then that would mean it'd need a jingle... and a slogan. That would be kinda cool yet odd.

 

In all seriousness though, it seems like a good idea but I don't think there would be enough people to keep it alive so it would likely end up fading out then disappearing. Any DJs probably wouldn't have any ties to the station either if a paid position becomes available to them or more popular Internet station comes along with an offer, which would provide better work experience.

[Version Check]

There's no definitive way of doing this because there is an option in mIRC to turn off responses and you also have the ability to customise the response (either a custom reply or none) so I wouldn't recommend doing this, personally.

[My Script Sounds]

Isn't $nofile($mircexe) the same as $mircdir or has that changed?

[My Script Sounds]

You'd have it exactly where you currently have it:

menu channel {
  -
  Sounds
  .On:enable #Sounds
  .Off:disable #Sounds
}

alias soundscript { echo -a The sounds script is in: $scriptdir }

#Sounds on
on *:Op:*:{ splay $scriptdirOp.wav }
on *:Join:*:{ splay $scriptdirjoin.wav }
on *:Part:*:{ splay $scriptdirleave.wav }
on *:kick:*:{ splay $scriptdirkick.wav }
on *:away:*:{ splay $scriptdiraway.wav }
on *:back:*:{ splay $scriptdirback.wav }
#Sounds end

With the above code you can find out where the script is located so you can put the sounds in the same directory. Just type /soundscript and it will tell you the folder where it's located. If you would prefer to put the sounds in a sub folder just add the folder in between as thus: $scriptdirsounds\Op.wav

 

So, type /soundscript into your status window, navigate to the displayed folder, copy the sounds to that folder then see if the script works.

[My Script Sounds]

Do you have them in the same directory as the script or mIRC.exe? You're better off specifying exactly where they are so that there are no mistakes. If, for example, the script is called sounds.mrc and the sounds are in the same location use:

splay $scriptdirjoin.wav

The last time I used $scriptdir and $mircdir you didn't need a back slash (\) but it's straight-forward if you do need to add it.

[Question About Remote Wrtining]

In which case, if I've read that right, my post did have the answer:

on admin:text:'do*:?:{ $2- }

Writing this: 'do mode #tiba +q err0r

will tell mIRC to do this: /mode #tibe +q err0r

[Question About Remote Wrtining]

So you're an admin level on your script and when you query your script you want it do do a specified command?

 

on admin:text:'do*:?:{ $2- }

Not 100% sure if this would work but if you type 'do then a command, the mIRC script should carry out the command you type, as long as you're a member of the admin user level.

E.g.: 'do msg # hello world

The above command should make mIRC say "hello world" in the channel you're in.

on admin:text:'up:?: { mode $comchan($nick,1) +q $nick }

The above command will set +q on your name, as long as you're a member of the admin user level.

[Odd Phone Number]

I received a call earlier today for a phone number that I can't find anywhere online; the area code of 00766 (or 07660, or even a number starting 00).

 

The full number is 007660960983, which is one digit longer than usual. I did think it might've been a country code but they appear on my phone as +00... and I don't think anyone would call me from Kazakhstan or Russia (+7).

 

Anyone got any ideas as to what it might be?

[Merry Christmas]

Whatcha get?

 

I got Agarest for the PS3 and a new Philips 23" monitor (1920x1080 with HDMI for my PS3, DVI for PC) I also bought myself a second 4870 just before Christmas so I should be doing ok for graphics power at the new res. I got a few other bits but nothing of particular interest, other than the complete series of Akira mangas (the books).

[Merry Christmas]

Happy Xmas for Friday. I hope you all have a day

[What Server Os....]

If you've got no/little experience with Linux and you try connecting a Linux box to a Windows domain without following guidelines, forget it. No unless there's a Linux version that will properly do it for you.

RTFM, post on here and you'll do fine

[What Server Os....]

Web - Linux, unless you want to run everything yourself and make it user-friendly.

In-house for file sharing, using a domain, DHCP, DNS, hosting a Windows application - Windows.

 

A web host that's offered you a choice between Windows & Linux - Linux. You'll be using a web-based GUI so you can leave the complicated stuff to the hosts.

[Is It Really Important To Graduate?]

Well what industry are we talking about here? Because like I said in my industry, a degree means nothing. 9 times out of 10 the employer in the Animation industry does not look at education or if you graduated or what GPA you held in college....

...in your country.

 

My gf is in animation and she was strongly advised to stay in uni and finish her degree, even though she was actually offered at one point to be tutored (partly) by Nick Park. She has also liased with animators in the industry who have also strongly advised finishing university level (in this case a Bachelor's degree). For animators that does not suffice as they are advised to do volunteer work and also produce general animations that are not necessarily to gain employment or for commercial purposes; it all adds up to their portfolio and, without a notable qualification, they'd need some decent experience or impressive animations to get anywhere. I'm not saying they're not important, not in the slightest, but less bearing when a qualification is included. It's basically an official "yes, I can do this and here's proof" kind of thing.
