QUOTE(Tomi Maila @ Jun 7 2007, 01:39 AM) That was my plan, and it payed off As an aside, the only money in authorship is in fiction - non-fiction will rarely cover your costs, especially if you consider the time you put into it.

I'm agreeing with just about everyone here - writing a book is a crap-load of work (much more than you would think), and I think a blog would be much easier and infinitely more valuable to the community - not only can you update it periodically, others can make comments and discuss the content, making it better and better all the time. You can host your blog right here on LAVA, like mine - it's a really easy-to-use interface, and supports all the good things you need like formatting, images, RSS feeds, etc.

QUOTE(fonzo @ Jun 5 2007, 03:09 PM) Be very careful - I think you've just violated your NDA with NI.

QUOTE(BobHamburger @ Jun 5 2007, 04:20 AM) Ahhhhh bugger! I'm glad you've got it up and running.

As an aside: I'm really glad to here of all these members stepping up and taking the NI certifications - it shows that you not only care about your personal education, but also the overall goodness that benefits the LabVIEW community when engineers take the necessary steps to gain certification - good on ya! :thumbup:

You should be able to hack this example to do what you want:

Full article here. Compares well with three other USB DAQ devices reviewed here.

QUOTE(BobHamburger @ Jun 4 2007, 03:22 PM) There's also Irene He's http://www.hytekautomation.com/Products/IVision.html' target="_blank">IVision toolkit, although I haven't used it since it was first in alpha...

QUOTE(BobHamburger @ Jun 4 2007, 02:30 PM) Hmmm - this is, by far, your best option, and I'm really surprised it's not working for you. I don't have a USB cam on hand, but I'll try it tomorrow.QUOTE(BobHamburger @ Jun 4 2007, 02:30 PM) 2. Peter Parente's Webcam 1.4 utilities. Old and unsupported - in fact, they were just an experiment of Pete's to begin with and were never really meant to be anything more than that - I wouldn't persue this option. QUOTE(BobHamburger @ Jun 4 2007, 02:30 PM) 3. Chris Relf's Quickcam drivers. Ugh! I thought I'd put those to bed a loooooong time ago These drivers are for Logitech's QuickCAM 3000 only (many years ago). QUOTE(BobHamburger @ Jun 4 2007, 02:30 PM) 4. I can get to the original postings, with a tree of replies underneath. I can't solve the threading problem, but click on "Options" at the top right of the threads and select "Display Modes>>Switch to: Standard" - that should inline all the posts so you can see them all at once. QUOTE(BobHamburger @ Jun 4 2007, 02:30 PM) Right now I feel like an idiot, and I don't like feeling like an idiot. We've all been there

QUOTE(Wolfram @ Jun 3 2007, 04:06 AM) I'm almost tempted by "Lapview Crack"... almost...

QUOTE(Jeff Plotzke @ Jun 1 2007, 03:30 AM) You win Jeff

QUOTE(Jeff Plotzke @ Jun 1 2007, 03:30 AM) Yeah - that was the part that confused me...

QUOTE(phuzionz @ Jun 1 2007, 01:14 AM) Do you want a popup window or a popup menu - your post is a little confusing. If you want a popup window, then Jeff's desctiprion will work, but if you want a popup menu, then you can create a custom one for each control/indicator on your front panel.

QUOTE(Jeff Plotzke @ Jun 1 2007, 01:02 AM) Actually, that wouldn't work - because people like us keep replying to his posts, so I'd see all of those anyway. I'm thinking of filitering out this whole thread... (and now Jeff's looking over my shoulder to show me how to do that...)

Awseome - it worked ( :thumbup: thanks Jeff! ) See you later guys - I'm not going to be able to see any more posts in this thread! It's been fun, but it's time to leave...

QUOTE(ohiofudu @ Jun 1 2007, 01:12 AM) That's pretty damn cool! :thumbup:

QUOTE(Jim Kring @ May 31 2007, 10:38 AM) ...or wikify instead?

QUOTE(ohiofudu @ May 31 2007, 07:29 PM) What is that?

QUOTE(alfa @ May 31 2007, 02:38 PM) If only the RSS feed had an "ignore member" feature - I wonder if I can do that natively in my outlook since I use RSS Popper...

QUOTE(AnalogKid2DigitalMan @ May 31 2007, 07:01 AM) It brings new meaning to stripping your G strings... Looks like the NI Web Team have a new joke lined up ready for next year's April Fools

QUOTE(Tomi Maila @ May 31 2007, 02:51 AM) This method won't change the style, but it will make that box transparent:

QUOTE(hink @ May 30 2007, 05:22 PM) Show us what you've done - maybe we could make suggestions on how to make it look better.

QUOTE(BobHamburger @ May 28 2007, 12:18 PM) Exactly the same way we deal with the word "http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bugger' target="_blank">bugger" In complete denial... When compounded: "Bugger me Bob - how are you mate?"

QUOTE(Eugen Graf @ May 28 2007, 07:18 AM) :thumbup: Thanks Eugen!

FYI: Tagscanner has moved to a new home - the page is in Russian, but if you mouse-over the links at the top, you'll see one for downloading (the software is still in English).
