Mike,
With the West-Wind Internet Protocols, you could use the wwHTTP class:
oHTTP = CREATEOBJECT("wwHTTP")
lcHTML = oHTTP.HTTPGet("http://www.whatismyip.com";)
IF !EMPTY(lcHTML)
lcIP = STREXTRACT(lcHTML,[Your IP Is ],[])
ELSE
lcIP = "Unknown"

RE: [NF] Damn M$ automatic update---didn't respect my wishes!
Michael, There are four settings for Automatic Updates: Automatic: Updates are downloaded automatically, and installed at the specified time (default is 3AM) Download: Updates are downloaded, but not installed until you say OK Notify: You are notified that updates are available, but you must download and install them. Turn Off: No automatic updates. You must use Windows Update to check for updates. Microsoft Update (the update to Windows Update, which I guess we could call Windows Update Update) requires Automatic Updates be turned ON. If Automatic Updates are on, and your computer is running at the time of day for installs to occur, the installs will occur. I don't know of any setting that allows you to *ignore* reboots, except for the manual update method, which allows you to Restart Now or Restart Later.

RE: [NF] Vista, all it's CRAPPED up to be
For what it's worth, you *can* make FireFox the default browser in Vista. Back in the day, I bought my first Pentium computer (60 Mhz, with 32MB of RAM and a 10GB hard drive --- I thought I'd never need to buy a new computer again). It had Windows 95 preinstalled on it. After using it for two days, I formatted the hard drive and installed Windows 3.1. Because it was better? No. I went back to 3.11 because Windows 95 was too different for me. I knew 3.11, inside and out. Windows 95 slowed me down, so I went back to the OS I knew better. It was also a bit sluggish. Windows 3.11 was blazingly fast on the new Pentium. Eventually I did make the move to Windows 95, and once I got used to it I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread --- until Windows 98 came out. Windows ME? Thank God I missed that train wreck. Windows 2000 was a bit too different for me, but eventually I got used to it as well. Windows XP was the most God-awful thing I'd ever seen the first time I tried it, but it too has grown on me. I installed Vista Business as my primary OS two weeks ago today. The Aero is pretty. The best description I've seen is it's less 'cartoonish' than Windows XP. I've got a decent machine, but it feels sluggish. I tried unzipping a 10MB file, and the progress meter said it would take 29 minutes. I canceled the extraction after 10 minutes. Copying files is remarkably slow as well. Vista, to me, is different. But it's not the radically different experience that Win95 and WinXP were for me. But it is s-l-o-w. Dog-ass slow for a new operating system on a relatively new laptop. It was definitely *not* ready for prime time, and I do feel that early adopters are simply beta testing the OS. So, tonight I'll be redoing the whole thing, back to WinXP Pro as my primary OS and running Vista in VPC2007. I do have a need to test apps on Vista, because sooner or later one of my clients is going to upgrade/buy a new computer, and I'd prefer to 'fix' my Vista-related issues now instead of having the client report the issues to me. I like the 'WOW' factor with some of the graphical changes, but they wear thin rather quickly. Ultimately, my decision to stick with XP is simple: I am more productive with XP/2000/98 than I can be with Vista. Maybe after a service pack or two I'll be ready to try it again. And don't even get me started on the whole DRM thing... :) ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

RE: ARG Command Bars and Common Control Libraries
The Common Controls library is great. The progress bar alone is worth it (*much* better than the MS Status Bar ActiveX control).

Anyone try ARG's common controls library? He's basically implemented the common controls without use of ActiveX, which is a benefit for distribution purposes, plus it looks like his interfaces are better than the ActiveX counterparts... At only $35, I'm thinking of buying that too. Lastly, he's recently released an OutlookUI add-on for the CommandBars library. There's not much on the site other than a short announcement and the sample download. It looks expensive(only the $200 1 year option), but it implements the Outlook bar that many other command bar libraries implement(such as BCG Control Bars, which I use in VC++).

RE: [OT] Anybody agree with this assessment?

Bill "No Spin" O'Reilly said it, in an interview with NewsMax: Here's a sample of what O'Reilly has to say: "The far-left smear machine is already cranked up over 'Culture Warrior.' You basically have to begin with the definition of the culture war. And it's between traditionalists who believe the country is noble - America is a noble nation, we can make mistakes, but basically at the heart of our system is a nobility that makes the world a better place - and secular progressives, who believe America is a deeply flawed nation that needs a fundamental overhaul." http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2006/10/23/215203.shtml?s=lh Kevin ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

RE: [NF] Blogging
Hi Patrick, NICE job on the Southwest Fox posts! I laughed my head off at points... I think Blogger allows you to host your own blog, but if you have IIS you *could* post the pictures somewhere on your server. Then, in Windows Live Writer, select Insert -> Picture from Web from the menu, and enter the URL to your pic. Hope this helps, and keep up the great posts! (I had no idea about using the MS Preview Control, BTW...) Kevin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Bibro Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 7:26 PM To: profox@leafe.com Subject: [NF] Blogging I started a blog last week. I wanted to start posting about Southwest Fox sooner than later and did very little research in picking a service. I signed up with Blogger (http://bibro.blogspot.com/) using Windows Live writer to post to it. Initialy it was working great until I wanted to add pics, it would not let me do so with the Windows Live writer. I can use the blogger site to do it but I like the desktop app for writing posts. I have IIS hosting available if I want to host my own and I am open to other services. What do people suggest?

RE: [OT] Credit report
Michael, Take a look at the following article. I also recommend you do a search on "freecreditreport.com" on the MSNBC site.

Excellent point, Michael. The old guy that started the company had written a home-grown accounting system in Clipper. Became a millionaire.

RE: [NF] Sys Admin questions
I used to work for a company that charged their clients $125/hour for any type of support (including bugs, but that's another post). One client in particular had a huge problem with viruses, Trojans, worms, etc. But, they were always happy to have me come out and spend 4 hours 'cleaning' up for them (and invoicing $500). I complained to my boss once that it seemed excessive to charge so much for (what I believed to be) so little, but my boss said, "Kevin, they're not paying for the work you do, they are paying for the KNOWLEDGE you have." Funny, though, out of the $125/hour the company was getting, I got $28/hour, though *I* was the only one in the company with the KNOWLEDGE... :) Which is exactly why I do all of this on my own time, terms and conditions today. I do find myself recommending new PC's and specifically, training, more and more often these days. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Virgil Bierschwale Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2006 11:46 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [NF] Sys Admin questions Thanks for the response Ted. I did this for a friend so I didnt charge anything and yes it took a lot longer because I wanted to save the data. After going down a lot of dead ends, I basically: 1. Took a used drive and copied the data to it. 2. Formatted the existing drive. 3. Reloaded windows and installed avg free and ewido free, updated windows and copied data back which was mainly music and pictures. Probably only 2 - 3 hours actual time, but a lot of time wasted going down dead ends which is why I decided to see how everybody else did it.. In case I run into it again for a paying customer.
