Once compiled just run it as such, both command lines are optional, defaults are 1024 & false respectively.

I have used KDE over Gnome for a long time, simply because KDE is much more configurable than Gnome and with the leap that Vista has taken (not that I can say I like it) I was secretly looking forward to the the KDE response and managed to wait until after release.

The Visual C# 2008 project attached builds to class library, it has a few custom exceptions and is pretty simple to use. It's RFC 1969 compliant but it doesn't support MIME attachments.

The project can be found here: http://www.blamires.co.uk/development/POP3Protocol/POP3Protocol-0.1.zip

The application sits in the system tray and checks at the specified interval, listing locked accounts in a drop down. Accounts can be unlocked at once or all together.

There is a hellishly annoying pop up option that displays a bubble alert from the system tray when locked accounts are detected on the domain. It's crude but works, I'll update it here if I update it.

Requirements:

• .NET Runtime 2.0
• Permissions on the domain to modify accounts (i.e. Domain Admin)

It's compiles to a single executable file, the Visual C# Express 2008 (including binaries) can be found at http://www.blamires.co.uk/development/AccountUnlock/AccountUnlock-0.1.zip

Note to self: should be in the pub or bed.

There seem to be a few nuances within it but by enlarge it is comprehensive, very simple to use and very extensible. The one that did take a little getting around was appending to and removing the parent element. For example, I want to dynamically add to add divs to the page and when you hover over the items a 'remove' button appears, until you move off which lets you remove the item from the list.

So I have the following snippet to run when the DOM is complete:

  $(document).ready(
  	function () {
  		$('.element1').hover(
  			function () {
  				$(this).addClass('hover');
  				$(this).append('<p class='removeButtonP'><input type='button' value='x' class='removeButton' id='removeButton'&gt</p>');
  				$('.removeButton').click(
  					function () {
                                                //this event needs to remove the div (.element1) 
  					}
  				)
  			},
  			function () {
  				$('.removeButtonP').remove('p');
  				$(this).removeClass('hover');
			}
  		) 		
  	}
  )	

I would expect the DOM (very representative!) to look like this after we had moved over the first of three divs:

document
 |
 |-html
     |
     |-head
     |-body
         |
         |-[0] div className='element1'
         |-[1] div className='element1'
         |-[2] div className='element1'
             |
             |- p
                 |
                 |- input type='button'

so when the click(function) is called $(this.parent) should refer to element1 but it doesn't, p.parentNode is null so the DOM isn't laid out as you would expect.

To combat this i have modified the code to the below to add a dynamically created id to the div you are hovered over and places this id also in the click() function parameter. The code is commented so I won't go over it here.

 
  $(document).ready(
  	function () {
  		$('.element1').hover(
  			function () {
  				//create a random 'GUID' value
  				var guid = generateGuid();
  				//when we add our remove button as we hover over
  				//we also set the id of the element we are accessing  
  				$(this)[0].id = guid; 
  				$(this).addClass('hover');
  				$(this).append('<p class='removeButtonP'><input type='button' value='x' class='removeButton' id='removeButton'></p>');
  				$('.removeButton').click(
  					function () {
  						//remove the specific element we are hovered over.
  						//remember: as this is nested in .click(function)
  						//$(this) refers to the input element withe the
  						//class .removeButton   											$('#'+guid).remove('div');
  					}
  				)
  			},
  			function () {
  				$('.removeButtonP').remove('p');
  				$(this).removeClass('hover');
			}
  		) 		
  	}
  )	  
  
  
  // with thanks to http://blog.shkedy.com/ for the handy function
  function generateGuid() {
	var result, i, j;
	result = '';
	for(j=0; j<32; j++) {
		if( j == 8 || j == 12|| j == 16|| j == 20)
			result = result + '-';
		i = Math.floor(Math.random()*16).toString(16).toUpperCase();
		result = result + i;
	}
	return result
  }

After some beer, a few of us decided a better Christmas no1 was needed, so we came up with this idea, try and get as many people as possible to download the anthemic Europe classic "The final countdown" to get it to Christmas no 1. I won't say anymore but do visit: http://www.thechristmascountdown.com for more info ... go one ... you know you want too.

No geekery in this article but I did want a link for Midsummer Music Madness & Hunsley Acoustic music on here sooooo http://www.msmm.org.uk.

Some pictures of the last excellent event can be found here http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/MikeBlamires/MidsummerMusicMadness.

Enjoy!
