New Notifier: 'Tell Me When'

[tahitiwahini]

Okay... All sorted now, and running well.

Thank you for your guidance. Some of us, despite being electrical engineers, are still computer dunces and so idiot notes are always appreciated.

Now back to conquering the world.

You're welcome.

Some of my best friends are electrical engineers, but that doesn't mean they don't sometimes need help crossing the street or knowing when it's time to come in out of the rain.

Hi.. i was wondering if it was possible to get my hands on the source code?
i'd like to do a few changes to the program to customize it for my own needs

if not then i'm just gonna write my own
or use reflector to steal your code.. mwuhaha

Recently, I have been having some problems with this on one of my computers. It will say that I have a turn when I have none. I have no idea how to even begin to diagnose this issue.

But, as you can imagine it is very frustrating

Thanks in advance,

hey fan, great program "Tell Me When?". Works great. Well actually, it did work great. However, today its acting up. when I open Tell Me When? program, I keep getting;

Error loading settings: Configuration system failed to initialize

then Tell Me When? program opens, end instead of giving me a proper result, I get;

ERROR: Invalid URI: The URI is empty.

so I go to monitor part of it and check "Auto configure for Conquer Club" and follow your steps, exactly as you suggested and ad I've done before. but it still reads as above. In fact every thing is deleted after I close and reopen the program, and I get the same messages from beginning.

Please help

Hey everybody, sorry for being so MIA. Apparently CC is no longer notifying me of updates to this thread. And to those of you who know what the heck you're talking about, thanks for helping those who don't (or can't read).

As for the configuration errors that people keep getting, I'm not really sure what to tell you. Try copying the EXE to a new directory and running it from there instead. Or deleted the .NET settings (if you can find them -- hint: read this whole thread).

I'm curious what new features people would like.

[Fantius]

I just updated my first post so that there is a link to the actual program before and after everything else in the message. Perhaps this will cause less confusion for the skimmers.

i think a nice addition would be an option for it to start minimized to the tray.. i think it's kind of annoying for it to be opening each time start my computer...

btw.. great work!!

"If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day but if you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime."

Believe it or not, I did not make that up. But it is relevant here. Instead of providing said option, I'm going to teach you to fish by telling you that Windows shortcuts already provides the functionality you want -- not just for my application, FOR ALL APPLICATIONS!

Yes, that's right. Simply right-click on the shortcut (please don't ask me what to do if you don't have a shortcut), choose properties, and select the startup window state (normal/minimized/maximized).

Some other applications have chosen to simply give you the fish. To them I say, "Hello? We're trying to have a damn civilization here. Stop giving and start teaching." I did make that one up.

BTW, you can probably find countless examples of me giving as opposed to teaching, but that's beside the point. These are not the droids you're looking for.

thanks. they say you learn something new every day...


by the way, i daresay you like playing Civilization, don't you?

[Fantius]

Never played it.

Where do i get that user id number ?

[Aerial Attack]

You just need to put in your user name

So, under the Monitor section (URL to monitor), put this in:

http://www.conquerclub.com/rss.php?username=Semigall

[Semigall]

Still nothing seems to work

This is how i have set it up:
