When I've been looking, I've used cwjobs.co.uk more than others.

I hope you get a good role soon.

Toggling functions

Hello, I've been searching without too much success and I'd like to ask for some assistance. I'm using a DFP, with Joy2Key available too. What I'd like is to assign some keys a function (ideally indicators or turn signals for our colonial cousins) that is toggled on and off using a repeat press of the button.
Would a script to press 7, then set the key function to 0 so the next press cancels it work, the script being called by a CTRLFx+button config?
I've presently got a button each for left and right, then banging the shifter forward to cancel, I'd like to change it to a toggle if possible.
Has anyone got any assistance they could add?
Thank you.

Blimey, maybe I should flog my copy, I think I know which vague area of the room it's in.

Still don't regret jumping off and heading for pastures new.

It's nice to see they seem to be doing something, after prompting and proving basic stuff to them.

Quote from Scawen :Did this ever happen with older versions, and has it happened again?

No, this is only happening with the new test series. I've got some of the older V versions and I'll test with them.

Another couple of lockups with sound loops, other apps were OK in the background as I still had voice comms. Was online with the FXO at Westhill (std version). No event viewer errors, patch V9.

I jumped from plusnet's ridiculous traffic shaping scheme, looked at a few other providers and went with Newnet, who claim to use no traffic shaping of any kind. Eclipse and Zen had mixed reviews at adslguide to do with speeds which put me off them.

I've had no trouble since migration and my pings are fine.

I use Joy2Key to bind keypresses to buttons (for indicators), and ventrilo itself picks up my other button press for PTT. I too don't use the profiler.

Was yesterday afternoon's 12 laps of Westhill in the UF1s an endurance?


Surely felt like it!

I like the colours of the flip paint.

But it must be rare, when did Peugeot enter the DTM, sponsored by Uncle Ben's?

Not to my taste, but you're entitled to yours.

And today, my connection with Newnet is live. Already seems a damn sight faster, like getting out of the UF1 and hopping into the XFR.

They sponsor a formula ford racer too, gimme a discount for carrying logos guv?

And plus never got round to opening the ports up for the STCC either!

There's a link to the web interface and a download link to the manual too.

Check you modem/router for your signal/noise ratio, it normally declines at night as it gets busy, forcing a disconnection. If you're using an ADSL modem, consider getting a router, they're more secure and reliable and will allow a download manager to retry if the link does drop.

Hmmm, sounds like the response I got from plus, pretty much verbatim

I've got my MAC and have signed up with Newnet. One day, the bandwidth will be mine: All mine.

Manners go a long way!

If you're that much faster than that poor person in front, smile: You're faster than them. Cut them some slack and give them a reasonable chance to get out of the way. Go past and say thank you. Remember, you don't have a divine right to the track all the time, consider hotlapping if you can't share nicely.

If you're being blue flagged, keep an eye on the person behind. When there's space, lift off bit and give them some room. If they're that much quicker, they won't be behind you for long meaning neither of you suffer unduly.

If you're feeling generous, remember your indicators

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055048056 may or may not help.

Outbound mail is normally sent directly in SMTP (mail protocol) on TCP port 25. Http is a different protocol (hypertext) on port 80 for browsing. Your OE client will try to send its mail to your ISP's own mail server, usually accepting SMTP from it's own IP ranges.

According to http://www.ntlworld.ie/Services/ your outbound mail server should be smtp.ntlworld.ie with no http or anything in front of it. Your inbound mail server will be pop.ntlworld.ie if your using your ISP mailbox. You can also configure other inbound addresses, mail.com says that it uses pop1.mail.com for pop3 pickup.

That will be normally your ISPs outbound mail server, on port 25. Could be called anything: mail.isp.tld, relay.isp.tld, smtp.isp.tld, etc.

Look in your ISPs help pages, they usually show important servers or how to set up a mail client.
