Looking for a graphical text popup program

I'm looking for a really specific type of program, and I don't really know where to start since I don't really know of a simple way to describe it and put into a search engine...
I want a program that will display a graphical popup on the screen with large text - something where I can type:
popup "test"
in the command line and a window or overlay will pop up showing "test" with a large font. The only thing I've seen that does this is Quicksilver for OS X: <http://www.oakinnovations.co.uk/blog/wp … arning.png>.
For clarification: I don't mean a fully automated desktop notification program, but if one of them can provide this feature, that would work.

Right, it's called osd_cat, and it's available through xosd.
An image search will throw up a few screenshots.

Looking for a graphic artist for IPhone artwork

I'm looking for a graphic artist to draw some graphics for a puzzle game for the IPhone, If you are interested, I would offer payment and possibly a share in the revenue.
Send me a message if you are interested.

Hi, Chris.
This is interesting. Kind of a yin yang thing. I am graphic artist / UI designer who's looking for a developer. Are you a developer with access to the app store currently, as that seems to be an issue. Take a look at my site... http://www.raygunstudio.com (also check it on your iPhone) ... and you an answer me from there.
-thanks, michael

Looking for a third-party affiliate program that will integrate well with Adobe Business Catalyst.

Dear Adobe Community,
I am looking for a third-party Affiliate Program that will integrate well with the Adobe Business Catalyst platform.
The requirement is fairly basic, i.e., to track multiple affiliates and down-stream affiliate-to-affiliate referrals. Also looking to report and display these referrals an affiliate’s dashboard.
We have looked into Affiliate Program Software, Affiliate Tracking Software Marketing and would like to entertain other options before making a decision.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! —Thank You!
Kind Regards,
Doug McClure

For what it is worth, I am a fan of NuGen, I have both SEQ 1 and 2 and two stereo enhancing tools (stereoizer and stereoplacer I think they're called). Since I have the SEQ 1 it replaces all Channel EQ's. And the stereotools sound great and very lush, in stead of the more usual cheezy combfilterthingies that pass for stereo enhancing tools.
And I actually like the interfaces. Simple, but stylish, functional and ergonomic (in this case meaning you can see all parameters in a quick glance, no guessing at settings).

Looking for a simple Text App with options like columns, lists etc

I am looking for an app that lets me do simple things like type lists of things , create columns etc . PLEASE tell me that my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard already has the ability to do this somewhere and that i dont need to buy "iWork" or "Excell" to perform this basic function. Thanks

If you're talking about a simple word processor, then Bean (http://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html) will be worth a look. It's simple, has the ability to create text columns, and best of all, is free!
NeoOffice (Mac port of OpenOffice) is fantastic if you need a complete Office suite (http://www.neooffice.org) - also free. Its spreadsheet app is called Calc.
Mac Mail and iCal can do 'To Do' lists, and there's also plenty of free apps that do simple to-do type lists.
When you mention 'lists' the app that comes to mind is OmniOutliner (http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/) but it's not free.

Looking for a labview virtual instrument program we can modify

Hi, I’m looking for a canned labview virtual instrument program we can modify for the OMB DAQ 55 from Omega to measure three temps and control three DO. I have the driver at:ftp://ftp.omega.com/public/DASGroup/products/OMB-DAQ5455&56/ The driver is labviewpdaq5xsetup.exe. I have the OMB DAQ 55 from http://www.omega.com/pptst/OMB-Daq55.html with a USB interface. I am trying to set it up to control a 24V electric valve. I’d like it to measure temperatures (5 separate temps), allow a set point to be programmed for three of them and turn on and off a DO based on the temperature. PID is not required yet. Maybe in the future… We have labview 7.1 and 8.0 but my colleague prefers 7.1 Do you have an labview VI programs that you can share that will do this with the DAQ 55? If you have something that will be close, we can modify it. But starting from scratch will likely mean we can not get this done in time for a project test. Simple set point and control is all I’m looking for… I’m new (my colleague knows it better than me, but has less time) to labview and do not have the resources to learn it from scratch to figure this out. Is there something you have I could modify? Can you help. Or are there canned programs you have that will do this? Labview is the preferred language. Thanks. Attached is what Omega shared with us, it might help…it’s a screen capture from a similar program, but far from the mark.

Hi vestel,
These discussion forums are more geared for questions - not necessarily having everyone else code for you.
You have a few options if you want code.
1) Look at the shipping examples that come with LabVIEW. This will give you a starting point from which to ask questions.
2) Look at the Instrument Driver Network that exits on National Instrument's Web site. Here are all the Omega instrument drivers listed.
3) Look at the list of Alliance members who you can pay to develop your code for you. Look here.
I hope this helps,

Looking for voice to text app as good as Droid......anyone know of one?

I'm looking for a voice to text app that is incorporated in actual text messaging similar to Droid that I can use on my 3GS. Anyone know of one?

To straighten things out: You mean you are looking for a messenger application ie SMS or MSN with voice to text capability?
AFAIK there is no messenger client to iOS that has incorporated voice to text capability. Yet. However, Nuance has now released their SDK to all iOS developer to incorporate Voice to text capability so it should be just a matter of time now before your favorite messenger app gets V2T.
Voice recognition is an even harder challenge not at least due to all kinda dialects and strange pronunciations and very few has the economic power and skills to create a good and working Voice to Text. Nuance (Dragon Dictate) is one of the few who knows about it.
The reason Dragon Dictate App on iOS "exports" the text to other third part app the ways it does is due to security reasons (every app is sandboxed).
Dragon Dictate v2 supports iOS4 and after "voicing" you just hit the key to which you want to send it to: SMS, e-Mail, Twitter, Facebook..

Looking for some good text effects type plugins for CS5 or CS5.5

I have a website that I am updating and I wanted to create some really cool text effects. The effects are something that I want to create in After Effects to give it the movie effect with sounds, etc.
What I'm looking for is some add-on software that can boost the text. Any ideas?
Thanks

Since you're brand-new here, there's a VERY crucial question to ask: have you ever used After Effects before?
The reason: it's not the kind of application you use for a couple of tricks with and expect things to turn out right the first time. It takes a good knowledge of the AE basics to make it do what you want.
So how do you get the basics? You go here.
...and if you need this animation in a big hurry, you might want to have a Plan B ready to go.

I'm looking for the best IDE to program in C#

I am an entry level programmer and I am looking for the best IDE to practice programming in C#. What are the best and easier IDEs to work with that work on a MacBook?
Also, any suggestions on sites, books, etc that could help me learn the language better?

"If you plan on writing apps for Windows, get a Windows-based computer."
A MacBook Pro running ML is the best lapstop computer for running Windows according to

The OP already has the best hardware for developing Windows applications.

Looking for someone to make a program for my mobile phone

OK, I am looking for a programmer, who could make me a program for my mobile.
I have a sony ericsson w300i
The program needs to, when opened, change all bluetooth devices on the list, to always allow connections. So all the devices on that list are set to always allow and not always ask.
If this is not possible to do, please tell me, or if you could make this program for me, tell me too.
The program must be fast and silent. I need it to just work when opened, without a message coming up or anything, this will allow me to quickly and easily proceed with my business
The reason I need this program, is because I have I REALLY long list of devices, and it really does take a long time to change the settings to allow connection on all of them. (I need to allow connections for the specific programs I test and use, on my PC)
You can access the list (on sony ericsson) by going to: menu -> settings -> connectivity -> bluetooth -> my devices.
I might be willing to pay, if the program works well!

j2me can't mess around with the security that is built into the bluetooth protocol.
@OP
Bluetooth pairing cannot be overridden nor done programmatically. Ability to connect to another device would always depend on the owner of that device having maintained the BT address of your device in the list of known devices.
Bluetooth connection can be done through a program, but there is nothing to be gained from that unless the program needs the BT connection to transfer data between devices, as the connection is in use as long as the program holds on to it, and disconnected when the program exits (if not before).

Looking for a good ebook reader program tht also downloads metadata (besides Calibre)?

I like all the information that Calibre is able to download for my ebooks but the interface is so clunky and non-Maclike that it's a little painful. Other apps like Bookreader and Scarlett have a much nicer look and feel but don't download metadata at all, they just show what's already there.
Does anyone know of a ebook reader app for OSX that is able to download metadata like Calibre can? Any help would be greatly appreciated -- thanks in advance!

Very good write-up. I've had my W540 for almost a week. My thoughts:
The Case: The screen feels a bit flimsy to me, I think that's due to small hinges mounted near the edges.
The Keyboard: I don't mind the offset keyboard, my current and previous Dells have had these, but they were 17.3" and 17" screens. I'm in engineering so I'd much rather have the extra numbers keypad than a centred keyboard. Although I don't like the CTRL and FN keys being the other way around.
Night light: Haven't really noticed not having one as I haven't had one in the past. My Dell has backlight keys.
Function keys: Don't particularly like this but once I found they could be locked on using the FN / Esc combo I just use this. It stays locked even if I reboot which is handy.
Hard drive activity light would be handy, as would numbers and caps lock. I've disabled the on-screen notification, that was just a pain. Sort of cr*p you would expect from Microsoft and all their silly tips, etc. that I disable as well.
Touchpad: I've commented elsewhere that this is the worse I've even seen. Absolutely useless. I've disabled both the touchpad and touchstick (again, useless) and just use a mouse.
Screen: Dreadful! I've got the 1920 x 1080 LCD. The icon size is ok, I've got it set to the smallest I can. However the screen looks washed out at the bottom. Again, I've posted about this before.
Mine doesn't have a SSD and only has 4 GB of memory, so I find it very slow. This is not a workstation unless you go for all the bells and whistles, otherwise it's ok for MS Ofifice and the internet but not for serious work. Forget programs such as AutoCAD and the like, too slow and the screen is too poor.
Anyway, thats my opinion, I'm sure others will love this unit and disagree with me.

I am looking for a wall photo maker program can anyone recommend one.

I am looking for the above can anyone help please.

I did a search and a) the softonic download site is mentioned often and I'd not recommend using them as they like to add unwanted things to their downloads, and b) came up with one that looked promising by oreware.com - however, WOT warned that it is not a trustworthy site, so I opted not to go there.
You will need to be very selective while searching for such a software.

Looking for a graphical walk-through/LifeCycle of data coming from R3 to BW

Hello,
I am helping a team demonstrate how data moves from R3 to BW and was wondering if anyone knows of some documentation that would help in this process...I am mainly looking for something that has pictures to better illustrate the migration process of the data traveling out of R3 to BW...i.e. how infopackages, PSA, DSO, infocube etc...are used in the process. I would greatly appreciate any insight. I am already using the following link -> https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=32737895 to begin the process.
Thanks

No error messages are found in the Monitor.
I tried thrice executing the process chain and it does the same.
Any clue ?
Thanks,

Looking for a visual app developing program

Hi
I am a graphic designer who doesn’t read or write code. I am looking to create very basic apps for Android and iOS and simply display pictures and play a MP3 that is on the device.
Can anyone suggest a solution that would assist me with this? When I am done with the app, I would need it to output to APK or whatever the extention for iOS apps is.
Thanks in advance for your help. I work in Windows or MAC.
Chaz

do yourself a favour and test your apps before buying. The Androidversion has quite some bugs, depending on the device and android version you use.
For iPad its definatly a good tool. For android, not so much. It really depends on what you want to create.

Looking for a better photo view program

Hi there,
I changed from windows to a Mac for my photo work and artwork. I use my high resolution photos to draw and capture portraits for my clients. I am dissapointed to find out that preview only allows me to zoom at set percentages. like 25,50,75 and 100 for example. So the picture ends up to small or way to big. Some of my work may need to me say 30 or 35 for example. I use to be able to zoom with windows by sliding a bar across the bottom of the view, this way it goes just 1% at a time and I can make it the exact size I need. This is so important for me as the porporations of my photo has to be the exact same size as my art piece to look right. Any suggestions for a program that zooms like windows?
thanks

iPhoto doesn't do what you want either?
