Moliner’s Answer:

A or B, it doesn’t matter.

It really depends on the situation.

  • Example 1: if you’re on the phone, you can’t really be expected to use both hands on the wheel to make such a sharp turn. Or to slow down for it. The other driver will stop and wait for you; no worries. Go ahead and use both lanes.
  • Example 2: There may be something blocking the view of the side street. If you can’t see around the turn, feel free to drive like there’s no other car. If you can’t see them, it means they aren’t there. Go ahead and use both lanes.

Conventional Answer:

B. You should always stay in your own lane.

You can’t count on another driver to do any particular thing. Or to even be paying attention.

Timer

The timer can count up from a time in the past or count down towards a time in the future.

The timer's appearance and the format of the time (and text) is very configurable. You can hide it's border, it's background, set the color and glow effects.

Sound Recorder

This is a simple recorder that records directly to an MP3 file. Recording can be paused and resumed.

The recording window has a compact mode and can be set to stay on top of other windows, so it can be out of the way, yet still visible.

When done recording, you can playback the recording or upload the file to an FTP site.

RocketDock with multiple bars\docks

Submitted by drew on

It seems there is plenty of interest about how to make RocketDock work with two or more docks or bars. Most answers say to use additional docking programs--one for each dock you want. Or use a commercial program that offers multiple docks. I think RocketDock is excellent except I want more than one. I finally figured out how to do it!
