Squidoo Lens

October 20, 2006 by Marcus Tettmar in General

Just for the heck of it I set up a Macro Scheduler Lens on Squidoo a while back. I didn’t expect much to come of it but recently I’ve noticed a small number of referrals from it, and its lens rank has jumped up to 4,538. Not bad considering it was as low as 20,000+. […]

“See” the Screen with Image Recognition

October 11, 2006 by Marcus Tettmar in General

I love the Image Recognition functions in Macro Scheduler 9.0. They make it easy to automate anything. I made a quick and dirty demo showing how to use the Image Recognition functions in v9 to automate a remote Citrix session. You can watch the demo here. Update: The video was produced way back in v9 […]

We Love Ex-Users Too!

September 26, 2006 by Marcus Tettmar in General

I think it says a lot when an ex-user still raves about our software. I saw this on a Technology Forum: “I don’t know about free ones, but my favorite windows app ever was Macro Scheduler (I only say “was” because I am no longer a windows user). …. If you get the advanced version […]

September 25, 2006 by Marcus Tettmar in General

Every now and then when I’m checking out our web server logs I stumble across an unusual referrer. Today I was surprised to see a referral from a Britney Spears fansite. With a quick glance over my shoulder to make sure no one was looking I clicked the link and checked it out. I discovered […]

September 22, 2006 by Marcus Tettmar in General

One of my pet peeves is when I hear newsreaders and TV presenters reading out website addresses and pronouncing the www prefix. Websites actually don’t need the www prefix these days. Reading out www is awkward, and wastes oxygen. Newsreaders don’t need to stumble and stammer over that cumbersome triplet of letters. E.g. if you […]

Word to PDF

September 8, 2006 by Marcus Tettmar in General

For Office 2007 Microsoft had been planning to add the ability to output documents to PDF files. Unfortunately Adobe got a bit upset and claimed that Microsoft were in breach of their license to use the PDF format. To avoid costly legal battles Microsoft have agreed to remove the ability for Office 2007 to save […]

Bank Holiday, But Not For Me.

August 28, 2006 by Marcus Tettmar in General

Here’s a useless bit of info: It’s a Bank Holiday here in the UK. Wikipedia has the gen. It doesn’t mean quite what it does in the USA. But while the banks may be closed for business it’s pretty much business as usual for me here at MJT Net Ltd. It’s an ordinary Monday throughout […]

Google themselves provide some helpful guides on using the regular Google search engine: Basic Tips: http://www.google.com/help/basics.html Advanced Search: http://www.google.com/help/refinesearch.html […]

Usenet – My Best Kept Secret

August 24, 2006 by Marcus Tettmar in General, Web/Tech

In a way I feel I’m about to blow my own cover with this post. But I’m pretty sure many people will find this really useful. I seem to have a reputation for knowing everything. People always come to me with their computer problems and I’m nearly always able to find a solution. When I […]
