Computer Hobbies?

Besides scratch do you have other hobbies you do on the computer?

I usually go on forums and play games.

One of my favorite things to do is compose music on Finale Notepad



What are your favorite computer based hobbies?

zomg not the 600 second rule!

Re: Computer Hobbies?

I like anonymously spamming Scratchers on formspring with questions about cookies, if that counts
If not, then I like to mess around with the Mario Paint Composer thing and draw stuff and whatnot on MS Paint
I do, also, like to use Scratch (The program, not website) when I have an idea for a game or something. But I can never complete any ideas so I never really finish making anything, and therefore hardly ever upload anything

Gah, I'm jealous, I lost my version of Finale Notepad to a Bredolab infection.  tongue

My favorite computer hobby used to be composing music, but now it's designing fractals and drawing in MS paint.  smile

I think there are many composers here, they just haven't revealed themselves yet!  tongue

I think most people take up drawing because it is a skill that is fairly doable to learn by one's own. Not to mention, here on Scratch where we have the option to create our own sprites, drawing on the computer is probably a more frequent activity here.

Actually, if I remembered correctly, the range of age guessing was from as low as 13 to as old as 35.  tongue  But I digress.

@kayybee: you could always try to hum the tune into a small recorder - that way, you can keep the tune idea down until you get a chance to put it to sheet music.

Also, some bookstores (like Barnes & Noble) sell music notebooks with blank sheet music, so if you're one of those types that can write sheet music on the go, you can just carry that small notebook with you and then write the music down when an idea pops inside our head.  smile

you must be arounf 14 yrs of age!


[logic rant]
If you were younger than 14 you would no longer be a mod (i think) as the two people who were under 14 got asked to step down...  Which means your @ least 14...  Then the way you act seems to put you around 15/16 yet not exactly which leads me to think your around 14 1/2 - 3/4 !  Thus meaning your old enough to be a mod yet not out of yr 8/9?  (depends on where you live)  So you are [u]around[u] 14 3/4 due to the logic of this logic rant!

Get rid of it by stopping the process in task manager by going on task manager, click processes, finding it, right clicking, clicking "end process tree" and continue on the warning, and there you are, its gone!  big_smile

New copied way to disable net nanny.
Found on yahoo answers:
How to disable Net Nanny:

First things first, there is reportedly an "in-case-Mommy-forgot-the-password" backdoor to the program (some or all versions).
Try ~frontdoor as your password.

Net Nanny Version 4.0: In Windows 98 or Windows ME, click Start > Run, and type msconfig in the box to start a Windows configuration tool. Go to the Startup tab, which displays a list of programs that run at startup. Uncheck the entries for "nntray.exe"and "NNSvsc", then restart. Net Nanny disabled! Thanks Jon M. for the info.

Method 1
To disable Net Nanny for a single session in Windows 95, press CTRL-ALT-DELETE to bring up the Close Program dialogue. Depending on the version of Net Nanny you are afflicted with, either OCRAWARE or Wnldr32 will appear on the list. Select whichever is listed and press End Task.

To disable it more permanently, try some of these methods of getting rid of it for good:

Method 2:
Open the file c:\windows\system.ini. Under the section marked "[boot]", there should be a line labeled "drivers=" with some stuff listed after it. Remove the word "wndrv16.dll" from the "drivers=" line. (If there are other words listed on the "drivers=" line, leave them there, just remove "wndrv16.dll".) Save changes to the file and restart your computer, and Net Nanny is gone for good!

Method 3: (note: this may only apply to the win3.x version):
Open the file config.sys (it should be in your c:\ directory) and look for the line DEVICE=C:\NN\NNDRV.SYS. This is the net nanny driver. To prevent it from loading type REM in front of this line, so it appears as REM DEVICE=C:\NN\NNDRV.SYS. (REM stands for Remark; it tells the computer not to process that line because it is a user-inserted remark or comment.) Reboot to eliminate the copy of NN resident in memory, and you'll be censor-free! Net Nanny will no longer load when you restart your system.

To clear Net Nanny's log file:
Delete the file Wnn3.log (it should be in your Net Nanny directory). Note that you can't open the file and delete individual entries, because the file is encrypted.
