12.25.1998 - GnomeREPORT

I'm sending with this issue a bit of peace. I realize that not everyone celebrates the winter holidays in the same way, so no matter what you do, please stay safe and (if at all possible) have fun. Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Kwanzaa... whatever social or religious holiday you choose to celebrate, please do so with a pure heart. I realize this may sound sappy coming from a computer geek, but I see most of the world through my computer monitor. Yes, that's scary, I know. But that also makes it easier for me to interact with every one of you on an "equal" level.

I really hope I live to see the day where the world can break down it's social, economic, and religious barriers, and we can all start working together towards a greater cause--whatever that may be. The pursuit for more information, possibly? Who knows? If there was ever a day in the year where I could take this space to convey my feelings, this is the day.

I'll continue my crusade to deliver high-quality information to all the nations of the world who have Internet access. If there's a country with a modem, you'll find Lockergnome there. I hope that 1999 will bring more subscribers, more great downloads, and less corny jokes. May it be just as friendly to you and your loved ones!

Kleptomania v1.0 [250k] W9x/NT US$20
Found by Lockergnome Subscribers

Stealing stuff isn't right. If someone called me a "kleptomaniac" before today, I would have been very offended. However, if someone calls me that now, I'll proudly show them that I have been stricken with Kleptomania. This unique "capture" program will copy text that can't normally be copied to the clipboard: text from menus, dialog & message boxes, status lines, lists, etc.. As long as you're copying text that's using a registered font, this thing actually works (and very well). I suppose it's okay to "take" this download--it would be a crime not to do so.

How to Dial Phone Access Codes with Dial Up Networking

"Some local PBX switches will not allow local or long distance calls without first entering an access code. Some switches also require an access code after the number has been dialed. The use of calling card rules in Telephony will allow Dial-Up Networking to dial these access codes to reach outside lines." Oh, what fun it is to play with one-horse open modems.

MP3 Extension v3.0 Beta 4 [105k] W9x/NT FREE
Found by Max Maischein

Has the MP3 bug bitten you yet? The format seems to be sweeping the world off its feet quicker than the Spice Girls. If you have a handful of MP3 files already sitting on your hard drive, then this add-on is right up your alley. MP3 Extension will add an additional page to the properties for your MP3 files so that you can see and edit the info for them (including ID3 information). View play length, bit rate, sample-frequency, layer, mode, and other "background" details. Too easy, too cool!

I don't think there was a night during childhood when I didn't scream: "MOM!" at least once. It was usually about a mirror on my bedroom door that I was very frightened of (and I'm not sure why, exactly). It seemed like my mom was always doing something around the house, and even when she wasn't working, she was working. Well, here's a site for "work at home" moms. If your mom (or someone else's mom) works out of her home, consider passing this resource along to her. MOM! MOM! MOM!

THEMES: Looney Tunes Christmas [1.0M]

That screwy wabbit is trying to make my twenty-fifth Noel a wacky one. Rather, I should say, a looney one. Bugs and the gang are decked out in good holiday cheer in these fantastic themes. Oh, by the way, tonight you'll be visited by three Christmas Gnomes: past, present, and future. They will show you the PCs of yesteryear, today, and tomorrow. When you wake up, you'll be a happy camper. Unless, of course, you lock your doors before you go to bed.

GnomeTIP

Lockergnomie "RCar123" brings to light a hidden tweak: "Have you ever seen the speaker positioning setup in Windows 98? If you right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar, a small pop-up menu appears. Select "Adjust Audio Properties". Click on the "Advanced Properties" button under the Playback section. You should see a speaker positioning setup box. From that point, you can choose whichever setup is most like your own computer's!
